Opiods 10/11/2022, 10:00am Powerlessness In Politics By Kate Farr I saw what opioid addiction could do. I saw the shaking, tremors and slurred speech. I saw my friends whose parents were laid off and couldn’t afford the Lunchables that many of us had in our lunchboxes.

I saw how hillbilly transplants and middle Americans felt left behind in political endeavors.

Teachers 9/27/2022, 12:50pm Take Control of Your Education By Karla Toledo We are a generation that questions everything put in front of us, yet we have failed to question our surroundings and just accept our fates.

First-Gen 9/3/2022, 12:00pm The Prison of Perfectionism By KwaTashea Marfo Whether I was gravitating toward the approval of my parental figures or being the go-to-person for everyone when they were down or in need of assistance, I adopted a lifestyle of being a perfectionist — a lifestyle that consisted of being there for others as much as I wished someone was there for me.
Autism 8/28/2022, 9:00am My autism is not a tragedy. By Grayson Joslin Society has used inappropriate language to describe autism; using demeaning and belittling language to then build up a narrative of someone “heroically” overcoming their disability. This is one of the reasons why I despise shows like “America’s Got Talent” so much for how they depict people with autism. We are just trying to do the same things that neurotypical people do; our path to doing it is just different.

Monkeypox is not a sexually transmitted disease, and it can be spread through other non-sexual means.
