Shout-out to whomever was responsible for the beautiful holiday decorations off of Doyle Street. It is a visual treat that always seems to catch me by surprise. It gladdens my heart while travelling the neighbouring streets, and feels and looks as if I’m journeying through a blue and mauve shimmering wonderland of snowflakes. —K.F.

Bedford bagpipe long shot
I am looking for a man that I had a brief moment with at a New Year’s Eve party many years ago. We were at a house party in Bedford where he played the bagpipes. We watched each other all night, or at least I think we did. We were never introduced. He hugged me when he […]

Students on transit
Dear Students: When you are on a crowded bus, look up from your phones, and when you see an older commuter on the bus standing, get up and offer them the seat! It is called being polite. It won’t hurt you, and it might also make you feel good as the older person sits and you, […]

Coat-check catastrophe
To the guy at ’90s Night NYE who took my favourite Weathermate brand vintage grey wool coat instead of your own from coat check that night: please please please return it the coat check there, they have my info. You found my eyedrops in one of the pockets, and I know your coat is still […]

Eater, know thyself?
If you’ve ever wondered what exactly a professor of food philosophy thinks about every day, make a date for Wednesday, January 15’s homecoming lecture by King’s College grad Megan Dean, now a food-philosophy prof at New York state’s Hamilton College. While we all know that eating should be about more than shovelling calories down your […]

Vegan Apartments for Rent?! What next!?
I just saw an apartment listing for a vegan apartment for rent. I thought it was bad telling people to smoke and not have pets, now these landlords are trying to control what you eat! Crazy shit going on in the HRM. No wonder nobody can find a place to live with lunacy like this going […]

Let’s all learn how to do our garbage in 2020
Dear south end students: You’ve been living in what were formerly single-family homes for what, four months now? It doesn’t matter where you came from, in Halifax, there’s a law: we compost. That’s what the big green garbage can that is assigned to your house by the city is for. It’s not for your garbage […]

Herring Cove David
To the people on Herring Cove Road with the reproduction of Michelangelo’s “David” in front of their house: Each time I drive by I look to see if you’ve changed his theme. Thank you for making our little corner of the world just a bit better. —Cindy

First-world coffee problems
I wish a certain popular Canadian coffee chain would buy a new toaster that actually toasts their doughy-ass bagels. I ask for mine to be toasted twice, and the thing is black and tastes burnt but is STILL doughy AF and not a bit of crispiness at all! I’m never buying your shitty-ass bagels again! I might as […]

Housing runaround
I applied for housing back in the summer, and have just now been contacted and told that I’m being added to a waiting list. I thought I’d been placed on the waitlist long ago, but no. Apparently it takes six months just to be added to the damn waiting list. What has my application been doing for […]

Should be bitching
What a beautiful gift to be able to feel so deeply. I didn’t tell you, but I was falling in love. You wouldn’t have heard me if I had, anyway. Thank you for the laughs, the dancing, the cuddling and the abandoned plans. Even if we worked harder to make it work, it would have […]

Dear guys I work with
I‘m tired of hearing your cat calls. Staring at my breasts while I’m talking = not cool. Whistle at me again and I’m going to turn violent. And if I had a dollar for every random guy who told me out of the blue that I’m his soulmate, I would be one wealthy woman. Why […]
