‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

Happy birthday, Mr. Vonnegut
A sticker with an illustration of Kurt Vonnegut holding a cigarette. There is text around him in an arch styled after the original cover of Slaughterhouse 5. It says "We are here on earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different," punctuated by Vonnegut's drawing of an anus.

SERIOUSLY?
Alternative girl looking over her shoulder at the viewer with disgust. She is reading a zine. She wears a leather jacket with a broken chain patch on the sleeve, and the words WORMS on the back with a large earthworm patch. She has bleached hair with black roots and an eyebrow ring and a nose piercing. The text above her reads, “Ew, you don’t read zines??” The zine has the writing: “Why farts are the call of the worker” with a farting cartoon butt.

A client sent me this homemade meme after I introduced her to Speculum. That WGSS degree is paying off handsomely.
A collage of multiple overlapping images of Luce Irigaray shown in different orientations, wearing a beige cardigan over a black shirt. Text overlays include "IRIGARAY," "WRITTEN 'STRAIGHT OUTTA DISCOURSE,'" and the phrase "I'm so tired." The image is created in the style of the album cover for Straight Outta Compton by N.W.A.

We roll up to The Archaeology Department & see this queen in a thick cloud of weed & patchouli, regaling customers with tales of her days as a Deadhead & complaining about the mid LSD that didn't make her trip.

PJM Interconnection's final auction price hit a record high for the second year in a row, closing at nearly $330 per megawatt-day — a 22% increase over the $270 per megawatt-day from last year’s auction. That means bills will likely rise between 1.5% and 5% for most ratepayers.
