1.  “Do you think it’ll bite me if I pet it?”

Going to school on a mountain means there’s a lot of wildlife around, and perhaps the most iconic animal that roams the halls of SFU Burnaby is the majestic raccoon. Don’t get too close though — they may look like they want a hug, but try to pet one and your right hand will no longer exist as part of your body.

2. “I think you’re missing the point.”

This phrase is most used with a slowly concerned hand raise in response to that guy in your poli-sci class volunteering to “play devil’s advocate.” The devil doesn’t need an advocate, Nathan. Leave it alone. 

3. “I’m never going to financially recover from this.”

Is this a Joe Exotic meme or an actual concern most of us have had? The answer: both. You went to BierCraft with your friends to celebrate #midtermszn being over but you forgot something important: your wallet. Or rather, you forgot that your wallet is empty and that the balance of your chequing account is struggling to catch up to the 13 venti Starbucks coffees you bought last week to keep yourself alive during #midtermszn.

4. “Are classes cancelled today?”

Classes are never cancelled today. But that doesn’t seem to stop everyone and their mother from hopping on a Facebook group and asking this question after it snows. Throw on your Super Puff, put on your Blundstones, and get your ass to class. The mountain is calling.

5. “It’s just a false alarm.”

I was sitting in the AQ the first time I heard a fire alarm go off at SFU and the only thing running through my mind was, “Shouldn’t we evacuate?” No one around me seemed phased. I wasn’t even sure that anyone else had heard the alarm. So I stayed there, confused and slightly concerned. I soon came to realize that I, too, would become so desensitized to the ear-piercing sound of the fire alarm blaring that I don’t even blink when it happens anymore.

6. “Does this schedule look manageable?”

No. 

7. “Fuck, I’m out of shape.”

Walking up the Saywell Hall stairs and having to hide the fact that you’re so painfully out of breath should be an Olympic sport on its own. Even worse? Having to walk from WMC to Saywell in the 10 minutes between your classes. As you reach the top, you’re breathing so heavily it sounds like you just inhaled three milkshakes, a pack of cigarettes, and ran a casual 50k.

8. “I should have gone to UBC.”

Be honest — you’ve definitely said this before. Or at the very least, the thought has slipped into your consciousness while you were standing squished on the 145 rattling up the mountain on the coldest, rainiest Thursday morning in November there ever was to exist. I didn’t even apply to UBC and the thought still crosses my mind. 

9. “You know the avocado? Yeah, I heard people have sex there.”

This is a phrase that every single SFU student has said (or heard) at least once. And to be honest, we’re starting to sound like a real avocado sex cult to new students. It would be hilarious if it’s true, but I just can’t seem to figure out how it’s logistically possible. Most people aren’t that flexible. The math just isn’t mathing. Besides, I know there are better places to fuck at SFU than the inside of a concrete avocado.

10. “No thoughts head empty”

You text this to your group chat after you stayed up until 3:00 a.m. studying for an 8:30 a.m. midterm and nothing feels real anymore. Coffee no longer has an effect and you can’t remember the last time you showered. This thought also applies when you’re cold-called in the middle of tutorial and you have to quickly pretend that you were paying enough attention to know what the question was — not checking Kanye’s Instagram to see what he’s done this time.

Aries 

You should go kick a tree this week. There have been whispers in the wind lately and they have been awful. I don’t even want to repeat what they’ve been saying about you, but man, should you go kick a tree, hard.

 

Taurus

Venus thinks it would be funny if you pinched a tomato. Like, how funny would that be? If you just pinched a tomato? It would be so random. It would be hilarious. Venus would love that.

 

Gemini

The stars want you to slap a seaweed silly. Not dried either. Take some initiative. Go rent SCUBA equipment head down to the sea floor, and really show that seaweed what’s what. The stars say it will help with your . . . cosmic vibrations?

 

Cancer

Backhand a flower. More specifically, a daisy. There are some negative vibes moving through the daisy chain at the moment and it’s time you set them straight. Love me or love me not, I’m right.

 

Leo

Get in touch with your sign this week and give a lion a really hard poke. I mean just really wind that finger up and absolutely give that lion the poke of its life. I can’t speak to the consequences of your actions and don’t know if I totally agree with the stars on this one but, sleep on it maybe?

 

Virgo

Go drop kick a strawberry. The prices for strawberries are ridiculous right now and it’s your cosmic destiny to set the economy straight one mushy strawberry at a time. Bless you, star child.

 

Libra

You should shoulder check a big rock. No one sassily shoulder checks anymore and Jupiter misses it. The planet thinks it would be funny if you shoulder checked a big rock because “I don’t know, it would just be funny, don’t ask me why Carl.”

 

Scorpio

Hey, Scorpio, you should kiss a blade of grass. Really show them they’re appreciated. You’re always stepping on grass Scoripo, always, it’s high time you show those blades some love.

 

Sagittarius

Bite an apple this week. But not in a nice eating way, in like an aggressive, “you suck, you friggin’ apple” kind of way. As Mercury is currently in a turf war with apples, it has agreed to go into retrograde for fewer days depending on how hard you bite the apple.

 

Capricorn

Go yank a bush tomorrow. You don’t have to tear out any leaves or seriously harm it, but give the bush a good yank. It knows what it did. 

 

Aquarius

We strongly recommend punching a cloud today. You’ve always got your head down, working hard and the clouds are getting catty about your bald spot. It’s time to hold that head up high and get your fist in the clouds. 

 

Pisces

Whack a perennial flower. They’ve been getting so cocky lately, going on and on about how they never die. The stars are pissed. It’s time you choose the right side in this battle and use your cosmic power to be mean to a flower.

Column title: Dining with sophistication
Author: Reginald Trashpánda III
Restaurant: AQ Koi
Rating: ★★★★★
Location: Academic Quadrangle
Appetiser: Pond weed salad
Entrée: Fresh koi
Dessert: Winter berry cheesecake
Wine: Étang Salé (2011)

With koi as fresh as they are ordered and a seasonal menu based on the best ingredients available each week, AQ Koi is the pinnacle of culinary artistry at SFU. I have reviewed this restaurant since 1983 and while I have never been disappointed, I have never been able to award the restaurant my full five star approval — until now. My readers will trust, of course, that I take this responsibility very seriously and place my entire reputation as this era’s most esteemed food critic on the line when making this claim. But for this restaurant, I gladly will.

What I have always appreciated about AQ Koi is its dedication to fresh, seasonal ingredients. Each menu is prepared a week in advance and the restaurant is open once a week in order to keep the koi population in control. Unlike restaurants such as the abominable Chilcotin 16, AQ Koi is a restaurant that makes the logistics and scheduling of food service an art form.

The meal began with an absolutely delectable pond weed salad — a staple dish of the winter menu. What makes this salad so unique is that the pondweed itself is marinated its entire life in the dressing that is the AQ waters before serving. While this creates a unique taste, for many years I felt the salad was lacking substance. However, now that the AQ pond has reached a bacteria level that is more external droppings than actual water, it has created a one of a kind taste that will only continue to improve with time. The salad proved a promising start to my evening.

The main course which remains the best entrée I have ever had and the namesake of the restaurant, was a beautiful, caught to order, AQ Koi. As the koi took its last breaths, it was placed in my paws and glazed with the finest waste bin juice sourced from Biercraft just hours before dining. While some chefs may stop here, it is the pure creativity and passion for food that pushes AQ Koi head chef Procyon Lotor to take it one step further. The dish is perfectly topped with lemon, capers and a sprig of rosemary boldly retrieved from the DAC.

Finally, the dessert. A masterfully made, and incredibly light plain cheesecake topped with winter berries. I begged Chef Lotor to reveal his sources for what I dare claim is his best dessert to date, but alas, some chefs do not dare part with their proudest secrets.

With the culinary world slipping into the clutches of the vile temptress that is instantaneous gratification, valuing trends over craft, it is easy for an epicurean such as I to fall into deep despair. But it is nights like these I remember why I have dedicated my life to the wonder of cooking and the pleasure of dining. To the wonderful, dedicated, and impassioned staff at AQ Koi, I thank you and look forward to dining with you all for years to come. Five out of five stars. Delicious.

Disproportionate reporting on invasion of Ukraine shows mainstream media’s racism

Why should commentaries on one conflict be any different than another? PHOTO: Efrem Efre / Pexels

By: Kelly Chia, Staff Writer

On February 25, 2022, CBS news reporter Charlie D’Agata said, “This is a relatively civilized, relatively European — I have to choose those words carefully, too — city where you wouldn’t expect that or hope that it’s going to happen.” This was in response to Ukrainian citizens fleeing their country. D’Agata also said that Ukraine wasn’t a place like Iraq or Afghanistan with decades of conflict. 

Despite D’Agata’s apology, this is only one example of how comparisons to the Middle East have highlighted biases on the type of refugee people should feel sorry for. The kind with “blue eyes and blonde hair,” as a Deputy Chief Prosecutor on BBC put it. Disturbingly, Daniel Hannan on The Telegraph wrote, “War is no longer something visited upon impoverished and remote populations. It can happen to anyone.” These aren’t commentators from right-wing networks like Fox News. These are mainstream sources confidently revealing their biases against non-white, non-European people. 

It is aggravating for these commentators to suggest any nation should expect conflict. It reinforces harmful stereotypes that war and tragedy are normal in some nations. It is dehumanizing for refugees’ experiences with war to be weighed against each other — war is unjustified no matter where it happens.

I want to be clear that this isn’t to detract from condemnations of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, despite the Kremlin’s best attempts. War and occupation should be condemned for its horrors, and Ukrainian citizens deserve our full sympathy and support. But it enrages me that Western commentators feel the need to justify why they can empathize with Ukrainian refugees by standardizing conflict in other nations. Why can’t they simply express their sympathy without delegitimizing the struggle of racialized peoples in the process?

It is especially hypocritical that Western commentators talk about war as a baseline in the Middle East, considering that American-led intervention has played a key role in destabilizing the area for the past few decades. It has largely been the actions of the Western military that have killed civilians and destroyed critical infrastructure. 

In my lifetime, I’ve never seen war covered to this extent in Western media. The level of nearly 24-hour coverage has not been present for other populations that have suffered occupation. Our lack of similar reactions for Syria or Palestine highlight our biases. 

To say the least, newsrooms need more cultural nuance and training with how they approach and comment on war. The Arab and Middle Eastern Journalists Association wrote, “This type of commentary reflects the pervasive mentality in Western journalism of normalizing tragedy in parts of the world such as the Middle East, South Asia, and Latin America.” When the media has this much influence on public perception, this is especially true.

The difference in coverage of this conflict is disheartening, too. More care and investment is needed in international reporting. Disproportionate coverage can push comparison between conflicts by treating one with far more importance. What hurts about these biased comments is that it reveals Western media was always capable of this kind of sympathy. It turns out they do understand how horrid occupation is for civilians. It’s just not extended to people who don’t look like them.

WGOG: The varied thrush

A beautiful bird. It looks to be the size of a large mango, and shares many of the same colours. Its belly is a golden yellow, and its wings and head are coloured charcoal, intricately pattered with its warm colours. It has orange stripes across its wings, head, and throat. Overall, it is stunning.

I’m sleeping soundly in my bed, feeling toasty under the blankets. Then, the sound of a whistle. Not once, not twice, but from the early morning to early evening — at irregular increments. It is the varied thrush: a tiny bird with an extremely loud and annoying call. The first time I heard it, I thought it was some kind of traffic whistle. It rings for hours and hours and it’s inconsistent. It disturbs my sleep, it disturbs my work, it disturbs my peace. 

Why must this small bird scream for so many hours of the day? Why can’t it be satisfied with a few “caws” like a crow and be done? Why does the varied thrush insist on singing randomly with no rhythm, no grace? Does it not get tired? 

Every time I hear this call, I am filled with deep annoyance, anger, and a headache. It’s just loud enough to notice it, it pauses long enough to forget about it, and then it begins whistling again. I’m not sure what this bird is doing in the suburbs to begin with — its habitat is in thick forests near the coast. Please, go there instead, and annoy the other forest animals to your heart’s content.

Massy Arts Gallery | Métis Now: Elders, Artists, and Activists | Free | On until March 31

Image courtesy of @inspiringindigenous via Instagram

Since opening in September 2021, Massy Arts has hosted artist talks, book launches, exhibits, and more. The gallery is located in the former Ming Wo Chinatown building. Reflective of the community they’re a part of, Massy Arts is dedicated to representing BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ artists. 

Currently on display is the work of Nevada Christianson, a Métis portrait artist. Christianson’s portraits honour influential members of the Métis community, such as fellow artist Logan Howard (pictured above) and activist Brittney Bertrand. This exhibit is meant to inspire Indigenous youth to explore their cultures and communities. In an artist’s statement, Christianson said her collection of Métis portraits “is by no means meant to be exhaustive.” She added, “I could spend lifetimes recording their histories through portraiture. Indeed, I hope I do get that opportunity!” 

In addition to the exhibit at Massy Arts, images of Christianson’s work will be featured in a new softcover book. This is being published by Hemlock Printers, a local, carbon neutral company.

Richmond Art Gallery | NOURISH | By donation | On until April 3

This municipal gallery showcases contemporary art from local and international artists. Through exhibits and programs, Richmond Art Gallery aims to create engaging conversations about current issues and ideas. 

NOURISH is a multimedia collaboration between Vancouver-based duo Mizzonk (Roger Chen and Wan-Yi Lin) and Seattleite Jane Wong. Their work addresses mental health and food insecurity, among other things. Mizzonk’s installation, Six Acres, is a series of animated watercolour paper drawings representing their home sanctuary. Through interactive poetry, Wong’s piece recalls her family’s history surviving China’s Great Leap Forward. To read Wong’s work, viewers must walk around a large dining table — where, resting on top, the poem is printed in fragments inside Chinese ceramic bowls.

Western Front | Broadcasts from Here | Free | On until April 16

Image courtesy of Western Front

Western Front is a multidisciplinary arts centre uplifting audiovisual creatives. It has a history of supporting countercultural work in Vancouver, from the 1974 Mr. Peanut campaign — where artist Vincent Trasov satirically ran for mayor — to weekly meetings of the improv music group New Orchestra Workshop Society (1979–2020). The non-profit space continues to be artist-run.

Featuring the work of campy artists Lex Brown and Geo Wyeth, Broadcasts from Here will transport you to fictional worlds that challenge speculative narratives. In Brown’s film Communication, a media conglomerate called Omnesia attempts to control the lives of consumer-citizens. Brown plays multiple characters, including “a gen-something girlboss” and “an impassive and sentient AI.” Meanwhile, Wyeth’s Muck Studies Dept. “merges inherited Black Atlantic American funk and folk poetics with techniques of investigative journalism” to explore a nameless municipal agency.

Burnaby Art Gallery | Unsettled Histories | By donation | On until April 17

Image courtesy of Dan Starling

Located inside a heritage building, Burnaby Art Gallery (BAG) stands out as “the only public art museum in Canada dedicated to works of art on paper.” Legend has it the gallery is haunted too, so there’s something for print and paranormal enthusiasts alike.

BAG’s current exhibit highlights 40 drypoint prints made by local artist Dan Starling. Starling put together this series by taking an image of the hills outside Jerusalem’s walls and continuously embellishing and erasing parts of it. In doing so, Starling confronts the perception that Western art is timeless. Unsettled Histories is influenced by Rembrandt’s experimental process creating Christ Crucified Between Two Thieves: The Three Crosses. However, Starling’s work “questions the legitimacy of colonial histories, prodding at the foundations of settler-occupied cultural narratives,” particularly in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Teck Gallery | Salish Modern/Tradition | Free | On until September 25

Image courtesy of SFU Galleries

One of three SFU galleries, the Teck Gallery is part of the Harbour Centre campus. Framed by a large window overlooking North Vancouver, this informal gallery serves as a space to commemorate “artistic innovation within the university.”

lessLIE is a Coast Salish artist whose work explores “the relationship between written English and the visual symbols of his culture.” In Salish Modern/Tradition, seven acrylic paintings provide timely warnings about capitalist greed and climate change. The works feature bright colours and juxtapose positive and negative space. These are inspired by Coast Salish spindle whorls, tools used for weaving textiles that also holds significance for cultural communication.

SFU ArtsLIVE has hit the ground running this semester, with weekly live performances and pop-ups across all three campuses. Co-presented by the Student Experience Initiative and SFU Woodward’s Cultural Programs, ArtsLIVE is cultivating spaces to amplify and uplift the unique arts and culture scene at SFU. 

The goal of ArtsLIVE is to enrich university life by offering a new platform for students to engage in shared experiences. In an interview with The Peak, Charlotte Newman, coordinator and assistant curator for SFU ArtsLIVE, discussed the importance of fostering a vibrant, welcoming campus.

According to Newman, ArtsLIVE executive producers Laya Behbahani and Michael Boucher began planning the program 18 months ago, knowing when SFU returned to in-person activities, the “community would need spaces of joy, celebration, and gathering as we gather to rebuild community connection.”

ArtsLIVE is meant to be a collective effort, with the hope that the project continues to grow annually. Principled on equity, diversity, and inclusion, they have consulted with 14 SFU departments to facilitate a spirit of community building and promote mental health and wellness. 

Performances include live music, dance, digital arts, poetry, and more. From concept to execution, there has been an emphasis on holding “space for Indigenous and diverse voices.” 

The event series is co-hosted by Vancouver-based artists Jeanette Kotowich and Nyla Carpentier. Kotowich is of Nêhiyaw Métis and mixed settler ancestry and Carpentier is Tahltan, Kaska, French, and Scottish. Her background inspired her solo play Dissection of a . . . Mixed Heritage Woman. Their backgrounds fuels their passion to find space for Indigenous and non-Indigenous practices to blend together.

SFU ArtsLIVE “creates platforms to celebrate and listen to contemporary artistic voices,” Newman said, as it “supports performing artists at SFU and across the professional community.” For many artists, ArtsLIVE will be their first live performzxance in over two years. 

Newman encourages any interested student, staff, and faculty artists to reach out to ArtsLIVE for future performance opportunities; all art forms and practices are welcome. They are also looking for volunteers, curators, hosts, and other collaborators. For more information, email [email protected]. 

“ArtsLIVE is growing, but it can only truly grow with your help and support,” Newman said.

Performances on the Burnaby campus take place Tuesdays from 12:30–1:30 p.m. in Convocation Mall until March 29. On the Surrey campus, performances are held on Wednesdays, also from 12:30–1:30 p.m., until March 17. All performances will be live-streamed. For a list of upcoming performers, visit the SFU ArtsLIVE website. 

Monday Music: Songs to listen to when you realize you’re in a toxic relationship with your university

SFU refuses to let me leave with a degree and it’s starting to feel a little obsessive. Despite trying to do everything right, my degree keeps getting extended one semester at a time. I get it, I’m a wonderful student but I just want to graduate. Yet SFU has me in their money-hungry hands. I’m stuck paying another $2,000 every four months and I feel like I get nothing in return. So whenever I feel especially taken advantage of by this institution, I listen to these songs.

“Come Around” by Peter McPoland

Maybe one day my professors will come around and actually let me graduate. But until that time comes, I listen to the unique vocals of Peter McPoland. While the song sounds generally happy, the lyrics are a bit less inspirational when listened to carefully. The song starts with hopeful guitar, synths, and the words, “Hey, are you ready to go?” Yes Peter, I am ready to go. Please pick me up so I can leave this school.

“Grade A” by spill tab

Just the title of this song reminds me of the grades I used to get back in high school. Now, this is a distant fantasy. As long as I’m getting a C in my class, I am extremely pleased. I relate even more when singer Claire Chicha says, “I’ll never be your grade A” as her first line. However, I don’t think SFU cares that I will never be their grade A student, as long as they get my money.

“Something to Believe In” by Young the Giant

This song especially reminds me of the good old days when Zoom lectures were still a thing. Despite needing something to believe in, there’s one line in particular that really hits home. “Is there a reason why I’m still awake?” is what I think to myself everytime my professor forgot to turn on his mic for the first 10 minutes of lecture. You would think the class spamming the Zoom chat would have helped, but he conveniently ignored us every time.

“Lost Track” by HAIM

This song starts with a melody reminiscent of a child’s music box. I like to think of this as a representation of the childhood I have lost since I started at SFU. Gradually, more is added to the track. I would compare that to me gaining my degree . . . if I had a degree. Lead singer Este Haim sings “I’ll never get back what I lost track of,” which is what I say when I look back at all the credits I took that didn’t give me any life skills.

“Losing Touch” by Laterdays

This whole song encapsulates how I have felt as my years have progressed at SFU. “Feels like we’re losing touch, we’re talking just not enough” reminds me of my academic advisor, who takes weeks to respond to my email with a one sentence answer. Otherwise, this is a very calm and relaxing track that, when I don’t listen to the lyrics too hard, relieves some of the five years of stress I’ve built up.

“At the End of the Day” by Wallows

At the end of the day, I just want to graduate (have I mentioned that yet?). This song is softer than the others in this list — perfect for accepting defeat and slumping into bed. Singer Braeden Lemasters tells listeners, “If you wanted I would never call you, never think about it, never let you go,” which is what SFU seems to think I have said anytime I apply to graduate.
