But where have we come? And where shall we end?

Even jobs that seem to do good are, at least in part, complicit and we aren’t going to change the system overnight. I don’t know, wall, I’m feeling very jaded and tired.

Sigh… the world is too much sometimes, I know. Sometimes you just need a short break. Make sure you take care of yourself. Spend time with friends, stay off social media and out of the news for a while, take a walk in the woods and listen to birds, let likeminded folks carry the burden for a bit. And then come back refreshed. Have you ever read Rebecca Solnit’s Hope in the Dark? bit.ly/bc-hope-in-the-dark “The future is dark, with a darkness as much of the womb as the grave.”

Hi! I take myself as a straight male on the most part, but recently I developed a crush on another male. I don’t know what to do, since as I’m not sure if they would enter a biromantical relationship, and I don’t want to make things awkward in classes. Plus they have a large friendship group, so I wouldn’t know how to approach them in a friendly manner. Please help!

Thank you for the gift of the word “confuddled!” Treat the situation as you would if your inamorato were an inamorata. Whether a he or she, advances being unwelcome is always a risk. It helps if there are trusted mutuals with whom you can confer. It’s also worth evaluating your crush on scales of both intensity & permanence: is this a passing crush, or a deep love that won’t let you go? How much will you stake on it? Attraction is often confuddling. I wish you clarity.

over the police department – why would you fund something that traumatize and criminalize your student when you have a better option that usually supports students (even though sometimes they might unintentionally hurt students’ feelings)? Anyway defunding BCPD seems like a smart idea…

If you want information that could help you make this case, search our resources for materials on defunding police, prison abolition, transformative justice, and restorative justice, and look for groups using those terms, such as the Movement 4 Black Lives (M4BL). Recently BC Law’s Rappaport Center hosted residencies of two Senior Fellows, Ajmel Quereshi, and Jonathan Miller, who both gave talks in March that are available on BC Law’s YouTube channel. Look for the titles “Towards Equitable Enforcement” and “Defunding vs Reforming the Police.”

I asked Facillities about that a few years ago and they would not give me an exact amount, but said it was a relatively small share of their expenses with a great return on investment.

Hey… I’m concerned about you. Please connect with people who can help – University Counseling (bit.ly/BC-counseling) or your own doctor. Very very very very very depressed is too depressed to suffer alone.

What a snow in April!

Aloha! I guess it’s not unusual in April, but still glad I’m under a sturdy roof.

Sad, but with a little hope at the end. Thanks for sharing.

I will most certainly devote my very best attention to the matter, sir, and will endeavour to give satisfaction.

Like, why did Mercedes Benz allow their image to be used as Nazi cars in Raiders of the Lost Ark versus not allowing their logo in Slumdog Millionaire?

Interesting question. I did some searching in our communications databases (bit.ly/BCCommGuide) and found an article, where the Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle states it was because MB didn’t want to be associated with “scenes of squalor” and they were happy to be in the “posh” scenes. (See: bit.ly/MBPlacement)

I am especially happy at how so many animals can enjoy life without humans interupting it. Also how much has changed in places with a lot of pollution they are looking clearer than ever!

If there is a silver lining to this still-unfolding catastrophe for humans, I’m sure you’re looking in the right location: non-human organisms. The change was short-lived, but perhaps does give us some clues about strategies for longer-term reductions in pollution: bit.ly/pandemic-pollution.

????????????????????????????????????????????????

Oh, hello all my wonderful animal friends! It’s so good to see you all.Also, ?️, ?, ? and ?.

Zzzzzz… What? What? Where? Who? I wasn’t asleep, just resting my eyes. Oh, look, we made it to the weekend! ????? And we even made it through the weekend and out the other side! ?

That is a puzzling human characteristic, that the small differences between members of the same species should be the cause of such hate. Walls and you are all just different combinations of the same molecules anyway.

Hamilton is the only music I’m listening. Listening to it on 2x and normal speed sounds equally natural and I know every lyrics (thought not to the level where I can recall the full musical without help). I’ve listened to it more than any other song (and this isn’t even a song) in my whole life. Should I be concerned? I don’t see the light out of this hole. 

This can have a broad range of meaning, would you like to clarify?

If not sooner!
