When matter and antimatter meet, they explode. This creates energy essential to our universe. However, antimatter rarely exists in stable form in nature, and there’s less of it out there: ipso facto less explosions. This fall semester began with uncertainty, and our community felt the tremors of its own explosive collisions. Delays to the term derailed our schedules, truncated our midterm reprieve, and dropped first-year students into a compressed timeline, eroding vital structures that scaffold cultural competency. This issue channels quiet and loud frustration, hopefully, into better understanding and changes for our collective futures – with a bit of galactic and Domus-related gallivanting trickled throughout. Enjoy.
