Don’t let the love stop with one day. Make it 24/7 and 365. Make love the way you think. Mixtapes and playlists are a great expression of love — culling together all sorts of creativity to make you move. Here’s my entry to the field of passionate movement and pass-it-along creativity: Cupid Must have Lost […]
Interesting? The universe put me in touch with wonderful people – Perry Ashley, Anne Fausto-Sterling, Cary MacIntosh, and George Bass – with points of view and the ability to speak with sincerity.

We made it! Another year. Love your extraordinary work. Thank you for the gift you gave each other, and me. You continue to make this a community – a community where we are plunged into a place full of color, music, and conversation. You played your part to keep Boston, Boston University, and this environment as […]

The boorish and unoriginal creation adds to the mix of a Web full of well-intentioned commentary, information, and creativity within spaces where we may engage each other in anonymous fashion. One of the University’s students created a platform for BU users to anonymously post pictures of women and […]
