On Nov. 14, at 2 p.m., two members of Associated Students (A.S.) were impeached by the Associated Students Board of Directors during their bi-weekly board meeting.

During the new business, the A.S. Board of Directors reviewed and voted upon the impeachment of Anna Martinez, the Officer of Social Justice, Equity, and Inclusion and Mary Angelie Mangubat, the Officer of External Affairs.

Executive Vice President Ayan Cabot led the impeachment process after 1/3 of the A.S. board called for the impeachments. Cabot states that the impeachment went forward due to a breach in A.S. policies by the two officers.

Mangubat and Martinez argued that their impeachment was in retaliation against speaking out about pay for subcommittee members and equal pay for all board members.

CLARIFICATION/UPDATE: This story was updated on Nov. 19 at 5:47 p.m., to clarify the impeachment process and provide information about Mangubat and Martinez’s claims regarding their impeachment.

Cal Poly Humboldt students living on or off campus this semester can access free food through a new “to-go” meal program, and apply for free meal swipes at the J Dining Hall.

Ravin Craig, director of Student Life, said the “to-go” pre-packaged meals, also known as the Temporary Meal Pick-up Program: Fall 2025, are available within the Gutswurrak Student Activities Center while supplies last. The program is first-come, first-served, and all students are eligible with their student ID. For more information on dates and additional resources, visit the Humboldt Basic Needs website below.

Through the Swipe Assistance program, students can get a maximum of 10 swipes per month until the last day of classes. Unused meal swipes can roll into the next semester. Students who are on a five or seven-day meal plan are not eligible, but other plans can be. The application will be linked below.

The Basic Needs Program has provided swipe assistance for years, but has increased swipe amounts this month amid the Trump administration’s cuts to SNAP funding.

For more information, visit the Humboldt Basic Needs website linked below.

On Nov. 6, the Women’s Resource Center (WRC) hosted their second event to begin Kink on Campus, a series of events dedicated to discussions and resources about sexual health. Levia Love, genital skincare specialist and owner and operator of the Bling Brow Bar, came to talk about how to prepare your body for intimacy as part of the Kink on Campus pre-events. Kink on Campus is an annual event hosted by the WRC to educate the community on more consensual safe kinks involving sexual pleasures.

This year the main event will take place on Nov. 13 at 5:30-8:30 p.m. in the Kate Buchanan Room inside the Gutswurrak Student Activities Center. At 6:00 p.m. there will be a Bingo game that will give participants the opportunity to win raffle tickets for sex toys, a bike and other prices. At 6:15 p.m. burlesque dancers, jugglers and others will perform. At 6:45 p.m. the main Drag show will begin and food will arrive at 7:30 p.m. The announcement for the prices will take place at 8:00 p.m.

Namixtu’lú Esteva, a senior child development major, was the main organizer for the event and the Environmental Educator for the WRC. Esteva said she had been to a talk by Levia in her freshman year and decided to bring her back for Kink on Campus this year.

“Having these events and being able to bring people who understand and see the world through a collective upbringing. For example, Levia’s experience with intimacy was definitely reflected in the attendees, so having someone that you can see yourself in, combats a dominant narrative [around sex, intimacy and consent],” Esteva said.

Existen infinitas aplicaciones para leer tu horóscopo y videos en TikTok o Instagram que nos mantienen desplazándonos sin fin en busca de respuestas sobre cómo los retrógrados nos afectan o cuál es el significado detrás de los eclipses. En un mundo impulsado por los datos, la lógica y la ciencia, ¿por qué tantos seguimos mirando a las estrellas en busca de respuestas?

Hay algo innegablemente reconfortante en la astrología. Aunque no sea científicamente válida, puede ser emocionalmente útil. Así fue como me empecé a interesar en ella. No siempre me gustaba lo que leía sobre mi signo, pero leer que los Acuario pueden ser tercos, emocionalmente desapegados y extremadamente independientes me hizo preguntarme si esas afirmaciones eran ciertas.

There are endless apps to read your horoscope and videos to doom scroll on TikTok and Instagram for answers on how retrogrades affect us and the significance behind eclipses. In a world powered by data, logic and science, why do so many of us still look to the stars for answers?

There’s something undeniably comforting to me about astrology. Even if it’s not scientifically valid, it can be emotionally useful. That’s how I first got into it. I wasn’t always content with what I read about my sign, but reading about how Aquarius’ can be stubborn, emotionally detached and extremely independent individuals prompted me to ask if these claims were true.

La combinación de sus distintas pasiones llevó a la creación de The Summitt, un bar deportivo para mujeres que también funciona como galería digital de arte y cine. Michelle “Trey” Cartier, una profesora de cine y arte en la universidad, estableció The Summitt en 2021 y abrió oficialmente sus puertas —vendiendo bebidas— en enero de 2023. El objetivo de Cartier al crear The Summitt fue ofrecer un espacio inclusivo donde diferentes comunidades pudieran coexistir. Cartier mezcla sus intereses para inspirar conversaciones entre personas de diferentes épocas de la vida.

“Soy filósofa, pensadora, y me gusta combinar cosas que normalmente no pensarías en mezclar, para abogar por un espacio humano más fuerte; eso, en sí, es una forma de abolición,” dijo Cartier.

La visión de Cartier para The Summitt comenzó en 2021, como respuesta a la desaparición de los “terceros espacios” durante la pandemia. Su objetivo es recuperar los espacios queer donde la gente pueda ser simplemente humana, en un ambiente donde se sientan reconocidos, elevados e inspirados.

Mixing their different passions led to the creation of The Summitt, a women’s sports bar featuring a digital art and film gallery. Michelle “Trey” Cartier, a film and art professor on campus, established The Summitt in 2021 and they officially opened their doors, selling drinks in January 2023. Their intention of creating The Summitt was to make an inclusive space for different communities to coexist. Cartier blends different passions to inspire conversation amongst people from different walks of life.

“Im a philosopher, a thinker, that likes to just mix things that you don’t usually think of mixing together to advocate for stronger human space, that in itself is abolition,” Cartier said.

Cartier visions for The Summitt started in 2021, as a result of third spaces disappearing due to the pandemic. Their goal is to bring back queer third spaces where people can be humans in a space where they feel affirmed, elevated and inspired.

For Shoshoni Hostler, a simple hobby has turned into seeing her handcrafted work graze red carpets and magazine pages. Hostler started with knowledge of Indigenous practices and a few beads. Now she owns her own business, making handcrafted custom jewelry and traditional dress wear. Growing up with her tribal community in Humboldt, her Yurok identity has connected her to a reality and purpose beyond her dreams.

“My work means something bigger than myself,” Hostler said. “It means representation for Indigenous people and showing the variations in our cultures.”

Joley Proudfit is a media consultant and co-owner of The Native Networkers. As Proudfit walked down red carpets for movie and television premieres in Hollywood, she proudly wore Hostler’s designs.

“Shoshoni Hostler is doing something essential in fashion. She’s centering California Indigenous design in spaces that have historically excluded us,” Proudfit said. “I’ve worn her pieces to major premieres and fashion events because her work is deeply rooted in the land and California Indian materials and traditions. She’s not just making beautiful clothing, she’s creating pieces that speak to thousands of years of knowledge and connection to this place.”

Being able to proudly create and be a part of the fashion world is an accomplishment not just for herself, but for those she represents.

“A lot of times in larger society, people think that Native Americans don’t exist, that we’re extinct,” Hostler said. “That we are not participating in cultural dialogues and these other spaces, and we actually are. And so it gives voice to that, that we’re not a dead culture, we’re a living culture. We are creative. We are artists.”

Para Shoshoni Hostler, un simple pasatiempo se ha convertido en ver su trabajo artesanal rozar alfombras rojas y páginas de revistas. Hostler comenzó con el conocimiento de las prácticas indígenas y unas cuantas cuentas. Ahora tiene su propio negocio, donde elabora joyería artesanal personalizada y trajes tradicionales. Al crecer con su comunidad tribal en Humboldt, su identidad yurok la ha conectado con una realidad y un propósito que supera sus sueños.

“Mi trabajo significa algo más grande que yo misma”, dijo Hostler. “Significa representar a los pueblos indígenas y mostrar las variaciones de nuestras culturas”.

Joely Proudfit es consultora de medios y copropietaria de The Native Networkers. Mientras Proudfit desfilaba por las alfombras rojas de los estrenos de cine y televisión en Hollywood, lució con orgullo los diseños de Hostler.

“Shoshoni Hostler está haciendo algo esencial en la moda. Está centrando el diseño indígena de California en espacios que históricamente nos han excluido”, dijo Proudfit. “He llevado sus piezas a importantes estrenos y eventos de moda porque su trabajo está profundamente arraigado en la tierra y en los materiales y tradiciones indígenas de California. No solo crea ropa hermosa, sino que crea piezas que reflejan miles de años de conocimiento y conexión con este lugar”.

Poder crear con orgullo y formar parte del mundo de la moda es un logro no solo para ella, sino para quienes representa.

“Muchas veces, en la sociedad en general, la gente piensa que los nativos americanos no existen, que estamos extintos”, dijo Hostler. “Que no participamos en diálogos culturales ni en estos otros espacios, y de hecho sí lo hacemos. Y eso da voz a eso: que no somos una cultura muerta, sino una cultura viva. Somos creativos. Somos artistas.”
