I first discovered Rumi Coffee on Instagram and my first thought was, “Wow, they’re really aesthetic. And their social media content is great.” As a freshman and a commuter student at Fresno State, I’ve been looking for places around town where I can study or spend time between classes, so I thought, “Why not give Rumi a try.” A friend and I visited around 8 a.m on a Friday. I looked around, noticing customers ordering at the counter and waiting for their drinks and food. The shop was active without feeling crowded. Inside, the cafe matched the look of its Instagram: shades of light and dark green, tan cushions, and wood tables and chairs. The space felt roomy, and the seating looked comfortable. Employees greeted us with a friendly “welcome in” as we walked toward the counter to order. I ordered an iced golden date latte for $6.25. My friend ordered an iced mocha and avocado toast that came to a total of $16.75.

A Common Quandary to discuss

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

You can clone the best dog you ever had. Would you?

After a beloved dog dies, its owner can afford to have it cloned. The procedure is legal and improving, but it uses animals as surrogates and will not recreate the original dog's memories or personality.

What do our obligations to animals permit us to create for our own comfort?
