Who we are during our deepest, darkest Main Stacks moments and during the indulgent periods of intense solitude we encounter when we take a dump is often expressed by a strong, shrieking voice in our heads that demands to be immortalized.

The thoughts that make it to the public surfaces are typically polarized. They’re filled with either love or hate, brutal pessimism or lofty idealism, and they tend to hopscotch between “kill MCB” and “love heals” quite sporadically — with an occasional “pussy, money, weed” scattered in there. In any case, we channel that signature Golden Bear intensity into the art and words we tattoo on our desks, bathrooms and walls.

Take a look into the always political, passionate and neurotic minds of former and current anonymous Golden Bears.

Thank you for making your various marks on campus, Bears.
