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%
Not everyone wants faith to be part of our everyday lives, regardless of affiliation. Some of us believe that the church and the state shouldn’t be connected. If enough people continue to challenge this, we could go down a slippery slope. Perhaps we already have. But perhaps it’s not too late.
In the midst of this chaos and uncertainty, it is important we don’t lose hope, though it may seem impossible at times. Attend protests. Share your stories. Listen to others. In not so long, this era of American history will appear in textbooks. What side do you want to be on?
While the LGBTQ+ community is currently under attack by the very people it looks to for protection, there is hope. There is always hope. For anyone reading this who has been personally touched by these actions, we see you, we stand with you, and we love you. You will never be erased.
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.
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.
