Earthy Edibles: Muddled drinks for muddled minds

I’ve found that in these last grinding weeks of papers and assignments, my alcohol consumption has increased dramatically. This isn’t really the most logical way to behave when one has more responsibilities than usual, but it definitely makes things a lot more fun. So, school’s out… for my liver, at least. I’ve wanted to make [...]

Double Teamed: Time to explore the porno beats

Pornography is becoming so mainstream, we decided it was time to Double Team it. Clorisa: Here’s the funny thing about pornography: my understanding is that it’s abundant, and free, but if someone was like, “Clorisa, go find us some free pornography,” I wouldn’t really know how to do that. Google? I’ve never downloaded or ever [...]

Green Your World: Bringing the farm to Camosun

There’s something really satisfying about hitting up a farmer’s market and making yourself a good meal. It doesn’t happen often when you’re a student on an Ichiban and Kraft Dinner budget, but when you spend the extra time and money, your body and brain love you for it. Maybe you’re like me, and all of [...]

Earthy Edibles: Fancy-pants pizza

Finally, a gluten-free pizza crust that tastes delicious and isn’t just a dry cracker with toppings on it! This pizza dough recipe saved my life. And while it’s not quite the same as viciously tearing into a greasy slice downtown after the bars close, your taste buds and your tummy will thank you in the [...]

Double Teamed: Vomit, wet noodles, and thin blood

Considering that we’ve left few taboos untouched, Double Teamed decided it was time to tackle the topic of sex while wasted. Clorisa: I am opposed to it. In my relationship now, she knows that if I’m drunk, she will not get laid. So we’ll go out sometimes and she’ll be like, ‘I think you’ve had [...]

What’s Up With Her?: How to confront a prof

I recently had a professor make a discriminatory remark about people with mental illness. The prof argued that most people wouldn’t want someone with a mental illness flying a plane. Our society has a very skewed idea of what mental illness is and usually associates it with negative tendencies. This adds to the fear these [...]

Green Your World: Bottled water bailout

A few weeks back, the Camosun College Student Society hosted Sustainability Day, which coincided with National Bottled Water Free Day. This is the reason why there were a bunch of plastic water and pop bottles in the fountain next to Dawson building. We did this because one in three Canadians drink bottled water as their [...]

Earthy Edibles: Smooth as spiced citrus

One of my favourite memories of living in Brazil as a child is of the beautiful mangoes we would harvest from our backyard. I loved watching them ripen and swell from small, hard green fruits to juicy globes barely holding onto the branches. My brother would climb the tree and cut them down, the sticky [...]

Double Teamed: Let’s text about sex, baby

In honour of the relatively recent inclusion of the word “sexting” to the Oxford English Dictionary, we decided to talk about texting about sex. And Glee. Clorisa: So, “sexting” is now an official word in the Oxford English Dictionary. Which is interesting. It’s probably one of the newer words added in there. Dylan: They said [...]

What’s Up With Her?: Mental illness stigma

A flight attendant for American Airlines has been hospitalized after having a panic attack and screaming over the plane’s PA system that the plane was going to crash. Reportedly, the flight attendant has bipolar disorder, a mental illness characterized by manic states, and had been off of her medication. In our society mental illness is [...]
