The Burden of Pride
In the small town of Willow Creek, there lived a woman named Linda, who was known for her beauty and pride. Coming from a wealthy family, she was raised in a lavish estate, adorned with every luxury imaginable. As a child, she was treated as royalty, never facing the struggles that many others in her community endured daily. This upbringing shaped her into a woman who often looked down on those less fortunate, her arrogance manifesting in cruel jests and dismissive glances.

Ancestry, Addiction, and the American Dream: A Review of "On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous" by Ocean Vuong
Sometimes you pick up a book that is so deep, beautiful, and layered in meaning, the words, without saying, ask you to put them down for a moment, just to be sure you're ready for them. Ocean Vuong's debut novel, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous demands us to feel. It isn't just Vuong's story, or the format of his novel in the shape of a letter to his mother who cannot read, that makes On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous impactful, though. Vuong's craft is so stunning, thought-provoking, and intentional that you cannot help but be suffocated by his words; in that mesmerizing asphyxiation is where we meet his narrator, Little Dog, and in his story, we are reminded of pieces of ourselves, or maybe a loved one, or perhaps the fragments of someone we might once have known. Ocean Vuong doesn't flinch and in doing so connects dots over decades to tell a story that is not just Little Dog's, but so much of North America's.

Mondo Trasho
John Waters is often celebrated as the "Pope of Trash," a title bestowed by none other than William S. Burroughs—a man well-versed in the perplexing intersection of art and garbage. With Mondo Trasho, Waters plunges gleefully into that liminal space, creating a ragged, audacious spectacle set to a scratchy Sixties mixtape of novelty tunes and forgotten audio oddities. Thanks to music licensing issues, the film has yet to see a proper DVD release, preserving its underground mystique and frustrating its fans.

Representation feeds imagination
São Paulo-Brasil, 1998. I was ten years old. Fourth grade. Every school day, my girlfriends and I would get together between classes to talk. I remember this day so clearly. It was an extra important day: Chiquititas, the most popular teen girls tv series at that time, had announced an open casting call for its second season, and they were looking for girls, like us. They were all excited and making plans for how they would submit their applications. I was not.
