Faithful campers follow Andrew along every step of his way! Andrew’s been craving for payday bars and this is the closest I can find where I’m based in. Our SCT (Standard Camping Time ) is usually the wee morning hours for me (Canada and Korea) but whatever. I’ll burn it at the gym...

Forest cats are brown or gray-brown in color with black stripes. They are larger than domestic cats, with a thick tail, as if “chopped off” at the end. What is the difference between a forest cat and an ordinary cat Unlike domestic cats, forest cats cannot meow, but only hiss, g...

Maurette Brown Clark has been such a blessing to me this year. After stumbling across her sophomore album, The Dream, I was captivated by how she was able to present worship and exaltation in such a soulful manner. Affectionately dubbed as the Princess of Praise and Worship, Clark has been a member ...

Be it proposing to your crush in style, or moving to upbeat songs on the dance floor, the influence of Bollywood can be observed in almost every aspect of Indian life. The subcontinent’s film industry reaches hundreds of millions of Indians who turn to its productions for entertainment. Wit...

The first big trip Traci Howard-Richards took was a European excursion in 2000, following her college graduation. Howard-Richards adored Paris, with its renowned museums and bustling cafes. And she loved Amsterdam, with its canal-lined streets and candy-colored houseboats. Howard-Richards recalle...

“When there's a will, there's a way," the old English proverb says, reminding us that determination is powerful. And what better example can be found than Black abolitionists who, against all odds, found unique paths to freedom? For instance, a Black man named Henry "Box&quot...

We became the person that was invited to the interview even though the company knew it had a preferred candidate. We became the woman at work who despite being disrespected had to calmly state her case. We became her with tears in our eyes, the countless times we wanted to scream but had to represen...

Texas has a cruel and demented Governor, Greg Abbott, and Attorney General, Ken Paxton (of anti-abortion fame). They not only support Trump and MAGA, but they are now supporting killing poor women and children trying to cross the Rio Grande in hopes of a life. They know they won’t be welcome h...

We’re strangers the moment I enter a room, yet you think you know what kind of person I am. The skin that I carry babbles the story for you. You must think that I managed to escape some destitute village in South America, where stray dogs die of thirst curled up against a wall. “He mu...

Black history is essential, like brown sugar in a buttercream pie. And yet, far too many states treat the topic like a social taboo. So far, at least thirty-six states adopted or introduced laws or policies that prohibit or restrict teaching about race or racism. Coincidently, many stories...

I was five or six years old when I had my first memorable conversation about race. It wasn’t contentious. I wasn’t defensive, but I was as passionate and confident as my child-heart could manage. I remember coloring outside with my friend, Brittany. She had blue eyes and blond hair. S...

First, I am grateful to Black folks who model courage, fierceness, and unapologetically speak up even when it’s uncomfortable. This piece is for people who understand that: Any color can uphold white supremacy, that colorism exists within BIPoC communities, and that being Latina/o/e/x do...

A brown dwarf is a type of interstellar object that is in-between a gas giant planet and a star in terms of mass and composition. These objects form through the same process as stars, but never gain enough mass to start the nuclear fusion of hydrogen in their cores. A brown dwarf can be anywhere bet...

Houston wasn’t supposed to be this hot in June. Nevertheless, as the American Society for Microbiology convened its annual meeting at the George R. Brown Convention Center, a sprawling glass-and-white-aluminum complex on the edge of downtown, the city recorded its first 100 degree day —&...

I literally don’t know how to rejoice in the unquantifiable and only feel progress if I “measure what matters”. Professional life has f*cked me up. We’re told to be vulnerable, to share our struggles, the underlying message is “but make it inspirational” sticke...
