For the first time in a long time, students are back on campus in droves. Unfortunately, as new students come to campus for the first time, they may be especially vulnerable.

Thanks to our guest author, Hannah Fulk!

"These media representations of cancer have created a false image of the realities of the illness. They have created the idea that the correct way to handle cancer is to put on your boxing gloves and fight this thing with a smile."

Gave my two cents on this opinion piece about culture wars and the new moral panic of the 2020s! I managed to mention Mr. Potato Head and Lil Nas X in the same sentence which just shows how bizarre the discourse has been lately

[Spire Magazine @spiremag]

The renaming of a potato-themed toy brand is apparently something people are talking about now. Why? Because, frankly, legacy media outlets fumbled the ball.

See what we thought about @LilNasX's controversial single, Bieber's misguided attempts at social commentary, and more bops and flops from March in music!

Thank you @spiremag for sharing our story!

[tori domínguez peek @Tori_as_always]

I wrote about trans and gender-nonconforming students’ stories of harassment and abuse and their call to make FSU Housing more inclusive. Give it a read:

[Spire Magazine @spiremag]

See what you missed at @Gender_Odyssey's press conference last week! The fight continues at FSU to create safe housing for transgender students.

"Are we destined to spend our whole lives running from rape and mourning the ones who didn’t run fast enough? Will justice always cost this much?"

Read Emily Pacenti's review of @PromisingFilm, a cathartic romp turned bleak reminder.

At once paying homage to and critiquing classic fantasy stories, “Chosen Ones” is a brilliant and inventive deconstruction of archetypal chosen one narratives tackling issues of fame and celebrity, power and privilege, and trauma.

"Our culture may be reaching a peak “girl power” moment, one in which in which slogans like “Fight Like A Girl,” “#GirlBoss,” and, of course, “Girl Power” are omnipresent."

But what does "girl power" mean anyways?
