by Jamaille Austin I had a self-actualization precognition of prestigious amore in the dawn early morning light As I vehemently recollected egocentric cohesive without meditative intuitive contrite I reminisced introverted theoretical monologue referencing ethical wrongs or upright As I relinquished a ravishing sociological companion daunting temerarious strife I envisaged underneath pseudo arena electricity bulbs our gallant alliance transcending Triumphing above nefarious artesian obstacles blockading the corridors of unorthodox haymaker mending This southpaw fisticuff stance zealot conversed with the governing orchestrator of omnipotent assimilating As unfortuitive tragedies tarnished aspirations of idyll modern day folklore persevering I contemplated a savagery hierarchy tier of eloquent competitive brutality majestically ascending Aligning with mesmerizing nocturnal…

Your Grass is A**
by Grace Schultz Every year millions of people participate in eco-tourism. This occurs in thousands of different ways: backpacking, packrafting, flying, swimming, drives, cruises etc. People go to experience nature in the raw. But then, often, they come back from their vacation to a concrete city and urbanized place: void of all natural qualities and filled with fast paced technologies. The warm sand and cool water become a distant memory. Away from that raw nature we easily hold connotations for the natural world as these far away fantasies where one can only visit. However, a natural world surrounds us if we open our eyes. This world could be more attainable…

by Lou Mei Gutsch A lot of people told me that spirits are not real. I didn’t think they were real either until I moved to St. Louis when my culinary school, Oregon Coast Culinary Institute, required us to do a paid internship (externship) for six months.

That all changed, one early morning, round 5am, on a typical shift when I was the first one there rolling the dough for the doughnuts. I needed some flour, so I walked…

Alaska Must Recall Its Socialist Governor
by Luke Graupmann As a young Alaskan I have become increasingly concerned with our state’s interest in socialism. Governor Dunleavy promised to provide strong conservative leadership, instead he is promoting socialism. His main campaign pledge, entitling Alaskans to $3,000 a year, is universal basic income in action. I intend to call out Dunleavy, for Governor Dunleavy is a socialist. What is universal basic income and how did Governor Dunleavy win his campaign on the issue in one of the reddest states in the country? Universal basic income is a proposal popular among socialists that entitles every citizen to a financial handout from their government. The idea of universal basic income…

Why Do Humans Laugh?
by Caleb Rauch Laughter is a real puzzler in terms of evolutionary study. What possible reproductive benefits could come from hooting like a deranged owl? Why is this behaviour instinctive, while something like hunting needs to be taught? While vocalizations from play fighting are nothing special in the realm of animals, only humans and a few primate relatives explicitly create laughter when they find something amusing or to communicate complex messages. We respond almost unconsciously to social cues that promote laughter and end up laughing even when things aren’t funny. It’s a complex phenomenon, but the question is simple: what causes laughter? In the book The Humor Code, author and…
