I am not one for formal introductions. My sparse readership is often greeted with analysis and well-structured arguments with no indication of who I am beyond this column. It’s difficult to think of myself as a columnist given my track record of obnoxiously low self-esteem, yet I find myself itching for new conversations, tense disagreements and stifling existential dread. The human soul is molded by sociocultural unpleasantries, but we still choose to exist between the rough crevices. Thus, an opportunity to live beyond political structures appears in unexpected places.

Among all of Cornell’s dining halls, Okenshields is the only one subject to constant ridicule. Ranging from dry rice to overcooked chicken to a pitifully-sized salad bar, countless students warn of the late-afternoon incontinence that follows any meal from there. Besides this relentless culinary beatdown, many have choice words over the oddly-shaped oval plates, drab decor and, not of its own doing, central location, as it is the only easily accessible meal-swipe dining hall for lunch (lest one is looking to hike up the slope on a belly full of Bether or Becker food).

Justice does not begin with policies. It begins with voices, especially those long silent or deliberately silenced.

Adequate sleep is critical for the average college student, but according to Christian Tarala ’27, the Twin XL mattress sizes in the dormitories have made this challenging. After experiencing this issue first-hand, Tarala envisioned a solution in his freshman year dorm room: Big Red Beds.

Popstar, Y2K fashionista, Internet darling: the Addison Rae of today is a far cry from the renegading TikToker who made her first claim to fame in 2019. Despite her impressive collection of questionable outfits, Rae amassed millions of followers on social media platforms during the pandemic, made instantly popular by her good looks, consistent content creation and effervescent southern charm. Born and raised in Louisiana, Addison Ray Easterling was the very image of an all-American girl, and she knew it. If you were to look back on any number of photos or videos of her from 2019 to 2020, I can almost guarantee the appearance of her broad smile and eyelashes caked in mascara. Upon joining the infamous Hype House in late 2019, Rae entered the L.A. social scene for the first time and dropped out of Louisiana State University, formally cementing herself as a small fish in a sea of influencers swarming southern California.

On May 22, Conan Gray took to Instagram to announce his fourth studio album, Wishbone, coming out on Aug. 15. Alongside the lead single “This Song” coming out a week after the announcement, Gray revealed the 12-song tracklist and mystical album cover. The cover is pure whimsy, depicting a leaping Gray in a sailor costume holding a giant wishbone with a red ribbon. The color scheme is cool-toned and a bit sad, yet, the vibrant red of the ribbon and Gray’s white-and-red sailor cap bring a passion to the image that is synonymous with the sonic and lyrical arrangements of the album — sometimes sorrowful and cold, but never not cathartic.

We just endured quite the summer, dominated by President Trump's feral agenda, ragebait TikTok videos and don’t even get me started on season three of The Summer I Turned Pretty. At some point, the back-to-back events signaling societal downfall morphed my summertime sadness into deranged rage, and I found myself praying for a rapid end to the summer.

On a slow, brisk Sunday afternoon, my girlfriend and I had the pleasure of being the youngest attendees to the new play Bad Books, running at the Kitchen Theater Company until Sept. 21. The play, written by Sharyn Rothstein, follows a concerned mother meeting with the town librarian over a book recommended to her son that she deemed to be obscene. The play continues over a series of consequences from the original interaction, following the impact that the craze over censorship has on their lives and communities. The Kitchen, a small blackbox theater that could feel limiting, sets a meaningful and deliberate intimate tone for the production. It’s a two actor production, with a simple set and costuming, that creates an unassuming aesthetic that places the story anywhere in the country.

Seeing a deepfake version of President Donald J. Trump stumble naked through the desert with a tiny anthropomorphic penis did not rank highly in my list of most probable events of the summer of 2025. Despite my doubts, though, that exact scene graced my eyes one fateful July evening while watching the South Park season premiere with my brother.

One hundred and eighty years ago, transcendentalist philosopher Henry David Thoreau uprooted his civilized life in Concord, Massachusetts and relocated to the woods along the shore of a nearby pond, hoping to take control of his life and “live deliberately.” Every August, Cornell’s class of incoming freshmen do the same, making their own treks to quiet Ithaca to live and study on a green campus among woodlands, gorges and lakes, unintentionally embodying the transcendentalist spirit. Coming to Ithaca from a larger town, let alone a city, it can really feel like you’ve entered the same woods as Thoreau, a place “a mile from any neighbor.”

Of all the movies that came out this summer, by far the most anticipated one by much of the literary and rom-com communities was My Oxford Year. It was also by far the most disappointing release of the summer. With flat acting, poor scripting and an ending that sent shockwaves through those who read the original book, the film was an all around let-down.

On June 18, Cornell staff and faculty received an email from Cornell leadership announcing the beginning of a period of austerity. Among a slew of planned actions, the administration threateningly notes that it “anticipate[s] involuntary reductions in headcount across the university.” While the cuts in federal grants undoubtedly have serious financial impacts across the university, the email presents a skewed view of Cornell’s financial reality and gives no concrete information about projected losses and cuts. Instead the university leadership is seizing a moment of financial uncertainty to enact unilateral austerity measures.
