I want to preface this by saying, I never ever want to put celebrities on a pedestal for being “feminists”, especially because I believe everyone should be a feminist, especially those who have real platforms they can use to shape the world and the younger generations. I do, however, want to highlight my personal feminist
Listen – I get it. Bands change their sound. And honestly – I usually love it. I mean, why wouldn’t I? It’s so cool to see people you adore for a long time do something new really well. The key word there, though, is “well”. And Fall Out Boy’s new single is definitely missing that
On the morning of May 18, 2017, the world awoke to the sudden death of Chris Cornell. Cornell was discovered by a family friend who called 911 around midnight after he went to check on Cornell and found the grunge rocker “unresponsive” on the bathroom floor at the MGM Grand hotel in Detroit.

This is the fourth installment in the Pride Poems series. This poem is about yellow and what the color on the original pride flag represents. This poem is about sunlight. The bright rays kiss your skin As we lay out in the grass We care not of our sins Or of our social class Out
If you’re a fan of Youtubers, or generally social media stars, then you surely have come across those labelling themselves as “beauty gurus”, an ambitious name for a perhaps overly ambitious type of person. They manage to make a career out of being “relatable” and “approachable”, but how does that even work? Oh, maybe just
If you haven’t already, you should definitely watch This Is Us. It’s a beautifully realistic show about a family that will have you crying harder and harder each episode because it is just that good and powerful. Now I know I’m a little late, but I just finished the first season. Throughout the season, I
Some say the world is an unforgiving place in which no one makes it out alive. It full of famine, malady, and unworldly pain but why do we choose to see the world in this way? Millions of people live a life unfulfilled because of their poor outlook on the universe. Many of them, fall
I met Murilo Vital in 2015 as a translator. His unique character won me over ages before I knew him as an artist. However, once I did, it only seemed obvious that such personality would be the artist of incredible creations. Murilo grew up drawing, creating for as long as he could hold a pencil.
