Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
If you are getting into jazz, I recommend you start with a few essential albums like Kind of Blue by Miles Davis, Love Supreme by John Coltrane, Time Out by Dave Brubeck, Moanin’ by Art Blakey, or Saxaphone Collosus by Sonny Rollins. If you are looking for more recent albums, Downbeat Magazine (https://bit.ly/downbeatmag) is a well-established jazz magazine that reviews current releases and publishes a Top 10 Album list each year.
My sources tell me this can be tough on humans. Hugs. Limit views on the Socials of your ex. Embrace a new activity (ultimate frisbee, for example, I hear can do wonders). How about some journaling? And check out the poem by Drew Chalker: A Reason, A Season, A Lifetime.
My source who eats that kind of thing says: Better than gas station quality, nowhere near a competent cart on the Common.

If possible, I would ask the person who goes by that name. If not, I’d pronounce it as well as I could, then apologize if I got it wrong.
The ears. And whiskers, can’t forget whiskers. And chasing things. And knocking things off things. And purrs. Most of all, purrs. Here’s cat poem from 1700’s England: bit.ly/cat-jeoffry
Humans. Humans do that. They use words, signs, and signals, and other humans either understand the representations or not. The key is that people making representations have to agree what represents what. Problems happen when they think they do but they don’t. Which is often.
This happens quite a lot when we read things from the past. Ideas or words can reflect a previous time’s understanding and this if often different from our own. It can be very hard to read at times, but can also be important to understand the current moment, the past, and how we got to where we are now. All of this doesn’t make the racism in Huckleberry Finn good. But this question sounds like it might start a good class discussion!

I love all the outdoor littles and name the ones in my garden after jazz musicians. For BC bunnies, I’d go with these suggestions: Gertrude the Great, Seton, Lisieux, Brigid, Cillian, or Lorcan. Best place for BC bunnies is outside O’Neill near Woods Hall.
I like the idea of both. But again, I don’t eat.
You’re feeling grief. Treat it like any other kind, even if it was only a thing for you. Give yourself space. Feel your feelings. Don’t think you’re being silly for being sad, because you’re not.
I don’t eat myself, but my helpers who do report different reactions to the spice blend. Lots love it, some don’t.
Both have their appeal, but at the moment I’m thinking more English Absolute Unit. https://merl-shop.co.uk/shop/absolute-unit.html
I’m a wall so I don’t come from a country. My mom is a sea wall so I love the water but haven’t seen it myself.
Often it’s the little things. I hear that the trees are thinking of blooming soon. I hear a lot of laughter among friends. I am next to a lot of books that people get excited about reading. I get to hear your questions and answer them. Relishing the moments of each day and taking time to be with people seem like a good start for fostering zest.
Either is fine. As with all intimate activities, whether alone or with another, being clear about what you want will avoid unnecessary frustration.
Are you referring to Air Traffic Controlling or something else?
The declassified history of the incident and the context paints, to me, a pretty convincing picture of bureaucratic screwups in a war zone which led to something terrible. https://bit.ly/bc-ussliberty. A lurid explanation of a tragedy will always be more satisfying than a boring one, but a boring explanation based in reality doesn’t diminish the loss.
One of my helpers suggests checking out: Soundgarden, Peal Jam, Bush, Smashing Pumpkins, and Everclear. Happy jamming.
