April Horoscopes
Aries: If you’re struggling this much in the intro courses, you probably won’t like the rest of your degree. It’s not too late to drop out and cut yourself off from society! You still have time to move into a remote cabin in the Piney Woods and become an urban legend for East Texas campers. […]

The People’s Guide To An Anti-Capitalist Valentine’s Day
It’s that time of year again, when overpriced roses and child-labor chocolate take over grocery store displays across the nation. Love is in the air! …or maybe that’s just omicron since apparently we still haven’t gotten rid of COVID. This can be a rough time for people who want to celebrate love but don’t want […]
