PORT MOODY, BC — On Saturday, Walter Tangke, a sociology major at SFU, decided to take a moment to check on his favourite public washroom over text message.

“Miss ur porcelain [sic],” he typed. “Ur invisible toilet paper. being able to shower the seats without being the one to sit in it later.”

Tangke has not seen his favourite washroom in months, given its location on Burnaby Mountain. Its best qualities include its janky tap, which used to give his critical thinking skills a much needed workout, along with its cracked mirror, which prevented him from having to ever confront himself physically or emotionally. He especially loved drying his hands on each stall’s heartwarming permanent-marker cartoons about communism and the Pusheen cat. 

Tangke is excited that British Columbia has finally moved into Phase 2 of restarting the province.

“Just really gotta stop by a few other places first,” he explained. “My favourite booth at Cactus Club, my favourite power outlet at the mall. But I swear I’m gonna hit up my OG room soon.”

Tangke noted that their friendship was “tumultuous,” with the washroom often giving him the cold shoulder, or as he put it, the cold seat. They had remained in each other’s thoughts throughout quarantine, though, with Tangke often flashing back to their 15-minute dissociation sessions together as he sat bored on the toilet. 

Tangke’s text to the washroom comes after 10 years of promising to organize his middle-school reunion.

New immunotherapy treatment provides hope for aggressive cancer

Sometimes, the latter two approaches become no longer effective when cancers become drug resistant, allowing the cells to further spread. At the University of Calgary, however, promising developments in immunotherapy intervention seek to provide alternative treatment when common therapies are not viable.  Cells continually divide to replenish dying cells, but certain gene mutations can create cancer cells, which divide and spread in an uncontrolled manner. The human body naturally defends itself from cancerous cells, though sometimes they can “hide from the immune system and avoid being destroyed,” according to the Canadian Cancer Society.
