This week seems like the perfect time to discuss the other side of last week’s coin: the blow job. Some of you may have made it to Student Sexuality Information Services’ (SSIS) male-bodied pleasure talk on Wednesday (the female-bodied version, usually held in the spring, is one of my favorite events of the year), and […]

Hey everyone, starting this week I’ll be preparing some picks for the upcoming NFL games. Word of warning: I do not consider myself to be a major sports expert. I will be making guesses based on what I know of teams as well as personal preferences. Cincinnati at Atlanta: Both teams lost last week. Since […]
Magic was in the air at Brandeis’ first-ever intercollegiate Quidditch game against Tufts University Sunday. The rules of intercollegiate Quidditch stick closely to those featured in JK Rowling’s “Harry Potter” novels—other than the whole flying thing. The game is played with seven players per team.
