Good was a poet, writer and mother to three children. In the wake of the fatal shooting, Minneapolis governor Jacob Frey told ICE to “get the f— out of Minneapolis” in a now-viral clip  widely circ

Emerald Fennell takes on a new creative challenge: a remake of the iconic Wuthering Heights By: Anna Oswald Scene from upcoming film Wuthering Heights  starring Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie (Dir. Emerald Fennell, 2026) A mix of Emily Bronte’s writing and Fennell’s unique style: bold color, insane landscape shots, and unsettledness. While Wuthering Heights  is already harnessing excitement from bookworms and Saltburn  fans alike, it has also gained strong criticism for casti

Say hello to salmon sperm: the newest skincare obsession By: Parmis Etezady Credit: Save Face I first stumbled upon the combination of words “salmon sperm facial” at a parking garage in Miami Beach, Florida. A huge advertisement plastered on the wall of the garage by a wellness spa, alongside it were offered treatments such as microneedling and skin boosters — but you can probably guess which one really caught my eye.  Since then, I’ve seen countless posts on the beauty side

Vampires, Werewolves, and Months of Linguistic Research By: Anna Oswald Credit: Kevin Winter/GA/ The Hollywood Reporter /Getty Images Perhaps one of the oddest film successes during the winter holidays last year was the historical horror film Nosferatu , which grossed almost $182 million worldwide and became Focus Features’ seventh highest-grossing film.  The film was celebrated for its terrifying titular character, creepy narrative and scenes, and spine-chilling special effe

A Catholic girl's confession By: Vanessa Norris Credit: Lady Bird , Greta Gerwig, 2017 When you are born and raised Catholic, you are taught to move in silence.  You read the Children’s Illustrated version of the Bible, which gives you your first impressions of death, slavery, poverty, nudeness and gore. You ask your parents and grandparents questions, and receive half-truths in return. You sit quietly through Mass every Sunday, trying your hardest not to laugh with your sist

On the shift from pleasure to performance, and what it means to truly feel again By: Eriel Pichardo Credit: Pinterest  Sex is complicated. It can be this fun and enticing activity you share with a partner or even a random person you meet on a dating app that you’ll never see again. It can also feel like doing drunk karaoke at a random bar or balancing on a yoga ball during your first high intensity pilates class—equal parts awkward and uncomfortable.  But as I go through my “

Southern frills, northern chill and gator denim By: Kaitlyn Tarakji Credit: Pinterest As a junior at the University of Florida, I’ve spent many Saturday mornings sweaty and roaming campus with my friends as we eagerly wait to make the infamous trek to the stadium for a football game.  Sure, the walk is uphill, feels longer than it really is, and exhausting. Personally, there’s nothing I love more than walking side-by-side with girls decked out in gator gear and getti

Who I was, who I am, and and where I’m going By: Ava Pravlik Credit: @Sallu on Pinterest One year ago, I wrote an article  about turning 21. A year that began with elaborate birthday parties and many nights at Midtown is ending with networking calls, a self-imposed midnight curfew and more hours spent on LinkedIn than Snapchat. As my 22nd birthday approaches in a couple of weeks, I’ve found myself reflecting on the growth that just 12 months can bring — and how different this

How Sydney Sweeney reduced decades of media journalism to “I did a jean ad” By: Francesca Jaques Credit: Business Insider In a time where I didn’t think things could get more  boring, humanity has completely renounced its right to a personality. Giving credit to cancel-culture panic and PR sterilization, we’ve slowly traded conversation for cheap social climbing.  Celebrity interviews have always been controversial. Since their invention, there’s been something vaguely apocal

A Review of the Latest Frankenstein Remake By: Savannah Darby Credit: CultureSonar Guillermo del Toro, the king of cinematic monsters, has recently tackled what is perhaps the most iconic monster of all time: Dr. Frankenstein’s creature. Starring Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, and Oscar Isaac, del Toro created a beautiful, albeit controversial, rendition of Mary Shelley’s classic story Frankenstein; or the Modern Prometheus .   Being the bookworm I am, I looked forward to watching

Meet Julie Pevarnik—the ultimate cool girl behind Jules Diary By: Paige Venable Credit: Julie Pevarnik & Stow Kelly I first came across the brand Jules Diary a couple months ago on Tik Tok after seeing an influencer that I followed unboxing a package from the store. It was an unboxing video, so like any other girl my age, I was immediately intrigued. However, I didn’t expect to see some of the coolest jewelry pieces I had ever seen in my life. Since then, I’ve been obsessed.
