Earthy Edibles: Goaty goodnessAh, cheese… that velvety, rich substance that adds an extra layer of padding to my body and prevents me from ever becoming a vegan. So many different incarnations of cheese are out there to titillate the taste buds. Aged, smoked, sheep’s milk, ash rind… I have to admit, I’ve been a bit of a cheese-wuss […] Continue Reading |
Double Teamed: Time for the three-way pileupClorisa: So, Dylan, have you ever participated in a three-way? Dylan: Nope. C: Yeah, me neither. Seems like it would be a lot of work. D: I dunno.

Earthy Edibles: Pistachio chocolate crunchYou may have noticed that I haven’t written any baking recipes in this column yet. This isn’t because I don’t like baking. I’m all over it. Some of the best jobs I’ve had have been at bakeries, mixing huge batches of muffins and cookies, and snacking on chocolate chips when the boss wasn’t looking. No, […] Continue Reading |

If I had to start […] Continue Reading |
What’s Up With Her: Time for a control checkReading a recent Monday Magazine, it became apparent that it’s not a great month for us virgos. Astrologist Georgia Nichols’ horoscope (my favorite!) said that low energy and tiredness are overwhelming. (Exams anyone?) After that cheery news, I continued working my way from back to front in search of the next article popper. Almost at […] Continue Reading |
Green Your World: Not just for hippiesStereotypes. They exist because most of us can’t help but generalize our observations. Yet, because of them we’re often quick to judge a person or an issue without looking deeper. Many people think environmentalists are a bunch of smelly, tree-hugging hypocrites that use their cell phones one moment and decry any type of industrial development […] Continue Reading |
In Search of Lost Time: Essentialism DangersThe sciences have provided us with a lot of benefits and technologies that improve and stimulate our daily lives. However, the sciences are a double-edged sword that can be wielded with machinations toward certain minorities and socially deviant groups in our society. The study of genetics and the discovery of a “gay” gene is one […] Continue Reading |
Earthy Edibles: Seasonal affective saladDespite my intentions to eat as locally as possible, usually somewhere in the oily depths of winter I start reaching for citrus. And let’s face it, I eat avocado all year round. These are some of my guilty pleasures, but it’s hard to feel bad about something that’s so good for me. Avocado, with its […] Continue Reading |
Double Teamed: Just like ears… reallyWe recently watched a documentary on labiaplasty; here are our thoughts on the matter. Clorisa: This kind of surgery just brings up a whole lot of questions about plastic surgery in general, and when it’s needed and when it’s not needed, and when is it excessive? Dylan: Watching a woman cut her labia off made […] Continue Reading |
What’s Up With Her?: Identity politicsFor decades, society has been seeing more and more identity politics: claiming an identity as a member of an oppressed or marginalized group.
