America, what have we become?
Treating our neighbor with such neglect, as if we are gold and they are the crumbs beneath our table. We label entire families “illegal” for daring to cross oceans and borders in search of hope. And forget that most of us descended from Ellis Island entries, handshakes, and paper promises.
Politics used to feel like something that happened far away—behind closed doors, in rooms full of men in suits, saying things that didn’t always feel like they were for us. But that’s changing.
Everything I am, everything I’ve done, is a direct result of my parents' sacrifices and hard work. Both of my parents came to this country for one thing: better opportunities for themselves and their future family.
PBS KIDS is not the mainstream media’s way of indoctrinating the nation’s youth. It is simply a channel that, for over half a century, has made space to demonstrate how easy it is to display basic moral values, as well as learn science, math, history, etc. Often, the two are combined. Now, the network is by no means perfect––is any major corporation, really? There are always issues to be addressed, no matter what one is talking about. However, I can’t find adequate justification for cutting $23 million from the network––a proportionally minuscule amount to the federal government––while raising Homeland Security spending by 65%
To those who celebrated this year: happy belated Mother’s Day. To those who didn’t, I hope you had a great Sunday.
My life has always felt brat-coded. But what does being a brat even mean? (At least to me.) It means being unapologetically your genuine self. Embracing your chaos. Owning your identity, even if it doesn’t align with traditional values. And most importantly, having faith that you’ll figure it out.
Need an example? Here’s how I ended up at the brat Tour.
Take things at your own pace. You don’t have to go to college just because everyone else is, or want the same things everyone around you does. Everyone’s lives look different. Isn’t that part of the beauty of the human experience?
Further proving that Taylor Swift can write and sing songs about every aspect of girlhood – whether you’re being pursued by someone who has a girlfriend or have a cheating boyfriend – “Girl At Home” deserves to be talked about more.
Broad Theatre’s latest play, Unbury Your Gays, is a post-mortem of sorts. A re-examination of a friendship, the sapphic truths that lay within it, and the night that changed it all. I had the absolute pleasure of attending the world premiere…
As a longtime Marvel fan, I knew the drill: a big bad villain, bold new and old characters, a killer soundtrack, and a mission that could change everything.Throughout the movie, they depicted mental health disorders like depression so well, I was shocked. However, the main reason I loved how they depicted these issues was because that’s how I felt at one time or another.
Thrifting often puts high-quality pieces for one-fourth of the price right in front of you. Finding timeless, unique, sustainable, affordable, personal pieces that make you feel like your best self is what thrifting is all about.
There are many companies that have caved to the administration’s ideology this year out of fear, and there are also companies that have done and continue to do genuinely great work for the community. Both things can be true. But remember: if you want to support the LGBTQ+ community during Pride Month, and all year round, spend your money at a local queer-owned business rather than a trillion-dollar company.
