How was the recent holiday (if you celebrated a holiday)? The most recent holiday our family celebrated was Easter. Usually we spend Easter dinner with our cousins, who live in Lincoln Park, but this time we ate separately. We didn’t get any decorations out, and we didn’t put as much effort into the food, but I shouldn’t be complaining because I’m pretty lucky.  I don’t know anyone affected by the thing, yet. Plus Easter is a wack holiday already. Who even is the Easter Bunny and what does he have to do with the ascension of Christ? We all complacently accept his customs without even questioning why. It’s probably because the Christians couldn’t come up with anything good so the atheists came along and said: “Let’s wear pastel shirts and hide eggs for the children to play with.” Anyway, to answer the question, it was good. How are you feeling about spring? I have mixed feelings about spring, because I hate early spring and love late spring. Late spring is the equiva...

https://auburnseminary.org/voices/naming-racism-in-high-school-one-muslims-story/ When I was younger, I loved learning. I was always reading books and was asking questions constantly. Because of this, my parents thought I would become an amazing student, and that I would love school. But each day I would come home from 2nd grade angry, saying that I didn’t learn anything.

In Between the World and Me , by Ta-Nehisi Coates, education’s “façade of morality” is critiqued and called out, and he explores the unintended effects on children by the school system.  Despite its core mission to teach and grow students, sometimes schools teach values that do not directly correlate with re...

If you had to assign your current mood a color, what would it be and why? My current mood color would be FFAF6E, which if you look that up on google, is a calm-ish orange shade, which is similar to an orange sorbet/creamsicle, or a nice sunset. I chose this color because I'm in a good mood and the weather is getter warmer and orange is a great color. It's not intense like traffic cone orange and it's not frighteningly reddish like blood orange.  Drop a comment below if you are also enjoying this color!! How has your relationship with celebrities changed? I love how certain celebrities are giving back by being interactive with the public and stuff. Jim Halpert from the office show has a youtube channel where he gets famous people on a zoom call or something I haven't seen it. Frank Ocean finally dropping more music ( Dear April and Cayendo ). Another example: Florence Pugh has been posting videos of her cooking, dancing, and having fun on her Instag...
