Why we need to start talking about dying 10:00

2M ago10:00

10:00

Death is something we don’t really like to think about.

Why are book bans skyrocketing? 10:50

2M ago10:50

10:50

Banning books feels like a thing of the past. A humble past-time of authoritarian leaders and churches trying to control the way people think. These days; thanks largely to our streaming services, it seems we’re reading much less than we used to. But in the last few years 10,000 books have been banned in the US alone. So why is the number of banned…

Why does the internet love to hate fan girls? 9:10

4M ago9:10

9:10

There’s nothing wrong with a healthy celebrity obsession - but throughout pop culture history, fan girls have had a bad rap. While being an expert on a topic is seen as intellectual being a fangirl is often portrayed as hysterical, immature and downright creepy. So why aren’t the same judgements made about male-centric fandoms? And why do we care s…

5M ago10:00

10:00
