As we get closer and closer to finals week, breakfast becomes ever more important. Here is a recipe for spinach-mushroom scrambled eggs that will guarantee that you will start your day off right. 

In honor of April being National Volunteer Month, many organizations on campus have chosen to do service projects. This past weekend, an event called “Geneseo Goes to Town” occurred on Saturday, Apr. 22, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The day of service is an annual tradition that connects volunteers with local community projects in all 17 towns and 9 villages in Livingston County.  This day is a collaborative effort between the Center for Community, Livingston CARES, and Alpha Phi Omega.

Geneseo students campus-wide were treated last week to event after event in celebration of Earth Day on Apr. 22. First, on Apr. 17, Green Environmental Org (GEO) hosted Earth Fest on the Union patio, which featured not only catering from Cosmic Charlie’s Cafe and tabling from a number of student eco-friendly organizations, but sets from a number of Geneseo’s acapella performers. Then, on Apr. 19, an Open Compost Run was hosted in the eGarden, where any student could participate in the weekly compost pick-up. 

Spanking is often one of the first elements of kink that comes to mind when BDSM enters a conversation. This is partly due to its common portrayal in BDSM scenes in books, television shows, and movies. But there is a lot more to spanking, or how it is commonly referred to in the BDSM world: impact play. Before getting started, it is important to know the basics.

For years, The Lamron has been lucky enough to experience and engage with the many talents of senior English creative writing major Matt Keller and senior adolescent English education major Carly Burgio. As our final send-off of these two fantastic editors, writers, and dear friends, we wanted the Geneseo community to get to know the sides of Keller and Burgio that we here at The Lamron have come to know and love.

The Latino Student Association (LSA) is hosting their annual cultural dinner, Sabor Latino on Saturday, Apr. 29th at 5:30 p.m. The cultural dinner will take place in the MacVittie College Union Ballroom with a formal dress code. Tickets will be on sale all of next week with prices at $6 for students, $7 for staff/faculty and $8 for anyone else. The theme of the dinner will be 1920s speakeasy, with a murder mystery play that will be performed by the LSA e-board and written by LSA’s choreographer, Jonell Maldonado. If you are a fan of murder mysteries and everything 1920s, then this cultural dinner is for you. 

As finals approach, quick, easy, and delicious recipes can be hard to come by. Fear not: here is a delicious recipe for pizza bagels that are easily customizable and fun to make. 

“I feel like I have to say, ‘I’m not weird, guys. I just had this thing that stopped me from doing what I wanted when I was 18.’”

Senior English major Joe Morgan has had an unconventional college journey, to say the least. At almost 40 years old, Morgan made the brave decision to pursue a college degree and explore his passion for English literature after being barred from higher education at an early age. 

As we dive into the world of kinky sex basics, aftercare and subspace are two very important terms to know in any partnership—but first, let’s review: kinky sex, or as it is commonly called, BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism), is introduced into sexual relations to create a safe power imbalance between partners. This puts one partner in the position of power, or dominance, over the other, who is submissive. Due to this power imbalance, the submissive partner can exit a scene feeling exhausted, and may need to recover after a particularly intense scene: this is where aftercare comes in.

Breakfast: the most important meal of the day, especially in college. We need the extra energy to get through many classes, meetings, and activities. Here is a nutrient-packed recipe for chia seed pudding that will start your day off with a bang.

On Saturday, Apr. 8, Geneseo’s Original Xpression dance group, otherwise known as OGX, took the Wadsworth Auditorium by storm for their seventh annual showcase. In an incredible display of talent, all of the members of OGX contributed to what was a night to remember for all in attendance—dancers and audience members alike. 

Picture this: it’s 11:45 p.m. on a Monday; most students are studying, sleeping, or binge-watching Netflix. This is not the case in Nassau Hall, where a ‘“bathtism” is about to be performed. During this procedure, a group of oddly dressed students parade through the basement of Nassau, some of whom are about to be “enlightened” by the bath. In the front of the pack is Max Worden, first-year theater major, Nassau Hall resident, Southside boy, and “founding father” of bathtisms.

When it comes to making dinner, more often than not I reach for the box of penne pasta sitting front and center in my pantry. Though marinara is a classic, here is a recipe for creamy pesto pasta with sausage that will bring new flavor to a weekly staple. 

This past Saturday, Apr. 1, was jam-packed with events presented by Geneseo’s Pride Alliance, beginning with their annual Pride Dinner and culminating in the explosive Drag Ball; this year’s headliner was former RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant LaLa Ri. I was lucky enough to attend both events, which celebrated queer culture through experiences that were both informative and delightfully fun. 

Though I love writing satirical articles about shrimp reproduction, it’s time to get back to our regularly scheduled program—if you are an avid reader of The Lamron, you will remember a former G-Spot article titled “An introduction into kink, part one,” where I got into the basics of exploring the wonderful world of kink. Well, I am back with part two, where I will be getting into one of the most important aspects of kink: safety.

As many of our readers know, The Lamron was founded in 1922, but something you may not know is that radio station 89.3 WGSU was established only 40 years later and was intended to appeal to the same audience. WGSU has a signal with about a 25-mile radius and The Lamron distributes papers on the SUNY Geneseo campus and Main Street. WGSU and The Lamron have been operating parallel to each other since WGSU was first licensed in 1963, but there is no record of any sort of collaboration—until now.
