On Mar. 31, 2009, the first International Transgender Day of Visibility was held. The founder, Rachel Crandell-Crocker, a psychotherapist and executive director of the nonprofit advocacy group Transgender Michigan, has stated that she is moved by the celebration of this day 15 years after it was first acknowledged. Crandell-Crocker stressed that she wants transgender people to feel a sense of joy and community while celebrating their identities.

Spinning tops are one of the oldest and most recognizable toys ever created, with many variations still being produced today. The 2010s, though, produced an iconic type of spinning top where the focus wasn’t only about seeing how long the toy could spin. These tops came in different varieties, all focused on beating others out, like in many other battle-based games. These tops also featured different parts, which allowed players to customize their tops in a way that would highlight their best attributes. Some of these toys specialized in striking an opposing top, while others were well-rounded with strong attacks, solid defense, and high endurance, allowing them to take on any opponent. These toy tops were called Beyblades, and they are coming back this year better than ever.

On Friday, Mar. 8, 2024, when asked about his stance on banning TikTok and whether he would be willing to sign the bill, President Joe Biden responded, “If they [the United States Congress] pass it, I’ll sign it.”

Performative activism is a person’s effort to appear supportive of a social justice cause while continuing to perpetrate harmful behavior. We witnessed it during the Black Lives Matter and the Me Too movements, and we are currently seeing it within the Free Palestine movement, which aims to defend and advocate for the human rights of all Palestinians.

Wendy Williams is an American broadcaster, producer, and media personality, most popular for her television program, The Wendy Williams Show. Like most television viewers, I was never the biggest fan of Wendy Williams, her personality, and the show itself. Williams is most popular for her feuds with Tupac, Whitney Houston, and Beyoncé, along with a lengthy list of controversial comments throughout her years as a host on both radio and television. Williams’ long, successful, and controversial career abruptly came to a halt, however, after she was given a devastating medical diagnosis.

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has been producing ground-breaking pay-per-views (PPVs) since the mid-1980s. Over the past 30-plus years, fans have witnessed some of the most tremendous performances alongside some…not-so-good ones, as well. Whether this be because of the production or a result of the quality of the matches, it is safe to say that any WWE pay-per-view can be very hit or miss. In this article, we will be taking a look at some of WWE’s best and worst PPV matches.

As a society, we have entered a new era that is completely dependent on a digital world. The creation of different technological devices has affected our natural skills and regulatory systems. Some people are even reliant on devices to remind them to eat or drink water because they are too busy looking at another screen to remember themselves otherwise. There is a serious lack of patience and a loss of identity, and we have essentially isolated ourselves from the world. How can we be less dependent on technology while seeing it for the tool it is and using it ethically and responsibly?

While growing up, I am sure we all constantly heard from parents, guardians, and health teachers alike, “Don’t drink and drive,” but how much has this rhetoric actually settled into the minds of the general population? It does not seem much, as a report in 2021 shows that there was a 14% increase in alcohol-related motor vehicle deaths from the previous year. It is estimated that 37 people die from drunk-driving incidents in the United States each day alone. 

It has been over 2 years since Ned Fulmer, one of the original members of the YouTube sensation known as the Try Guys, was caught having a ‘not-so-discreet’ affair with one of his company’s employees. The Try Guys are known as a group of coworkers-turned-friends who try a variety of things for their audience’s entertainment. Some of these activities include cooking challenges, trying various fashion trends across gender binary lines, eating the entire menu of a certain restaurant, and more. 

The month of February marks the start of Black History Month across the nation. The first presidential recognition of this celebration was by Gerald Ford in 1976, but before that, Black History Month had commonly been a recognition of Black and African-American achievement over the course of a singular week—more specifically—the second week of February. This Black History Month predecessor was brought to the public through what is now known as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), which was founded in 1915 by historian Carter G. Woodson and minister Jesse E. Moorland. 

In 2007, when Freema Agyeman took up the role of Martha Jones, the first black series regular on Doctor Who, storylines relating to race issues in time travel were expected. After her first few season three episodes, however, the narrative choices continually became less and less sensitive.

I would say that I am a little bit of a self-proclaimed drink-girly, as I can often be seen with my rotation of two to three drinks sipping between the caffeinated, the hydrating, and (if I’m feeling wild) a sugary treat. Often, this drink can be seen as the biggest indicator of my cravings— lemonade to refresh, milkshakes for decadence, and Coca-Cola for the sake of bubbles. I have discovered over the past year or so, however, that there is a solution for all these cravings at the same time, my friend Dr Pepper.
