BC’s #1 suicide prevention method? asking 4 a friend
Why is the gay gene real? (2 guys asking)
yes or no?
It depends on the day and on the question.
Do you think its okay to transfer out of BC second-sem sophome year?
Why does BC housing have such a messy system?
Every college does. It’s a lot to juggle. But it sounds like things didn’t come out the way you wanted, and I’m sorry about that. On the bright side, perhaps your new situation will gift you with a lifelong friend.
Do you think it would be different if I wasn’t here?
Yes. Everyone’s important and everything’s connected. Including you.

Meowl is a beautiful creature! Thank you for this exquisite drawing!
Do you need a new post it dispenser?
My assistants got me a new dispenser, thanks! But I’m still a little sad that the old one disappeared and hasn’t been returned.
Why does BC keep lights on overnight in locked buildings (gym, lower) when they can save $ and conserve energy?
Not all locked buildings are empty. My awesome colleagues in facilities and housekeeping use this time to ensure buildings are well maintained and clean.
Just hangin’ out, like I do.
I miss my friend ottaviano :( – Julian Espinosa
There’s nothing quite like being with a friend. I’m sorry they’re away, and hope you can be reunited soon.
How do I get over my ex I’m more not over the feeling of being in a relationship
Treat it like real grief, because it is. There’s no set timetable for processing a loss, you sort of have to work through it. Talk to friends about what you miss. Do things that make you happy, even if you’re not sure they will right now. Feel your feelings and you’ll move on when you’re ready.
Who wants me @ Alex?
I think you’re great.

Do you know the Priest of Sin? (aka Father McGowan)
I don’t know him personally, but I’m familiar with his highly publicized research about gambling & other vices.
Bonbordilo Crocodilo or Brr Brr Patapim?
I have to admit that although I find the social phenomenon of AI brainrot intriguing, individual brainrot images seem to me like flickers signaling the potential collapse of a meaningful or useful internet.
What are some must go or must do in Boston?
I don’t get around much, so I asked my library helpers to make suggestions. Here they are, with numbers of multiple recommendations in parentheses:
- Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum: Thursday evening hours are fun! And bonus points for going in late March/early April to see the hanging nasturtiums! (3)
- The Mapparium (2)
- I recommend going to the Museum of Fine Arts! MFA Late Nites — food, crafts, and special gallery tours/lectures that you won’t get during daytime hours (2)
- Whale watching tour (2)
- Historic walking trails: both the Black Heritage Train and the Freedom Trail (2), as well as less formal walking tours covering various bits of Boston’s history
- North End: Cafe Vittoria. Get an affogato!
- Mass Audubon’s Boston Nature Center and Wildlife Sanctuary
- Pastries from Bova in the North End!
- Aquarium! Go see the penguins!
- Walk around Castle Island
- Walk around the quieter back streets of Beacon Hill
- Hidden gem of Mass General: the Paul S. Russell, MD Museum of Medical History and Innovation
- Wander around the Boston Public Garden
- Visit the BPL central library in Copley and look at the murals!
- Catch a show at The Paradise, MGM Music Hall, or Roadrunner, or smaller clubs like Lizard Lounge or Plough & Stars, or an Irish Session at The Burren in Somerville
How do I synthesize cafeinnderal, the ultimate study drug?
IDK, but with the wide availability of coffee, tea, and energy drinks, it’s hard to see why you’d need anything else. Here’s an ebook about caffeine chemistry:bit.ly/bcl-caffeine-chemistry, and some fun books on the history of coffee: bit.ly/bcl-coffee-history .
Favorite MTG card?
Oh there’s so many good ones to chose from! I have to say that I am partial to Academy Wall, mostly because I think its always nice to see yourself in the media you consume 🙂
Ideas for a summer side-hustle?
What are you most excited about? I’ve heard it’s good to find side-hustles based on your interest or on your time. Restaurants are often a good option, but there are summer historical tours, internships, tutoring, and all sorts of outside options like lifeguards or yard work.
