Incredibly talented. And prolific. He’s also been a huge voice for Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria and and I love that he created the Good Bunny Foundation.

Yes, I’m able to read some Arabic after a fashion, with help from my assistants, but as you can see, it takes a while! I’m so sorry about the delay in answering!

Thank you for this Chinese translation of an excerpt from a prose poem by the surrealist Romanian poet Gherasim Luca. Here’s an English translation by Julian & Laura Semilian: “…witnessing the appearance in this world of this lover in the same way that I would witness in astonishment the disengagement of a distant planet from chaos…” and the original Romanian: “…urmări apariția pe lume a acestei iubite așa cum aș privi stupefiat desprinderea din haos a unei planete depărtate…” If you’re interested, we’ve got the book: The Inventor of Love & Other Writings, Gherasim Luca, tr.

Sometimes, I don’t have any answers. I don’t know the answer to this one, and it’s a deeply important question. One thing I do know, as long as there are people in our community asking this question, hope should not be lost. There is work to be done. Let’s get to it.

It’s early days yet. Persist? My assistants have done all kinds of things on New Year’s Eve, sometimes solo, sometimes with crowds, sometimes quiet & reflective, sometimes jubilant, sometimes romantic, sometimes religious, and sometimes abroad in countries that run on other calendars in which that day is just like any other day. Try to let your expectations open wide.

Selfishly, I hope you stay. But if that is no longer a viable or good course of action for you, I strongly recommend you talk to your academic advisor as soon as possible to discuss your options. Whatever you choose, wishing you a bright future!

I am safe, I am healthy (as healthy as a wall can be), and I am surrounded by a community that writes to me. I am so grateful to exist and be in conversation with all of you. Thank you for asking <3.

Humans – can’t live with ’em, can’t live without ’em! I chatted with a friendly wall in ResLife, and they said you can reach out to Off Campus Housing (offcampus@bc.edu) and let them know the situation. They can advise you and/or mediate. Wishing you both peace!
