The Americans with Disabilities Act, which started in 1990, is probably one of the most important acts for Neurodivergent individuals. It protects them from discrimination in all areas of life, including schools, jobs, and other public places such as parks, restaurants, and transportation. So why is it important? In the past, we didn’t have the […]

As Artemis II Heads Back to Earth Today, Crew is Staking Their Lives on the Heat Shield
When Artemis II returns to Earth on Friday, it will hit the atmosphere at about 75 miles above the Pacific Ocean at around 24,000MPH, which is fast enough to fly from Los Angeles to New York in about 6 minutes. The temperatures will climb to about 5,000 degrees, which is about half as hot as […]
Man Arrested in Connection to Fatal Fire Last Month
NY police arrested a man on Tuesday morning, who they believe is responsible for setting a Brooklyn apartment on fire last month that resulted in the deaths of 4 people, 3 adults and a 3-year-old child. The fire occurred on March 16, starting just before 12:30 pm at 132-05 Avery Ave. and 44-49 College Point […]
Should White Chicks Be Considered Offensive?
Describing Conservative Republicans as just a little upset would be quite the understatement. I’d say that Republicans are so…fricking…pissed right now, and after American comedian Druski’s recent cosplay of Erika Kirk, the widow of late political activist, Charlie Kirk, I can’t say that I’m too surprised. Druski’s quite unsavory imitation of Erika Kirk has struck […]
How Music Helps Us Do Household Chores
Anytime I am doing anything boring, such as taking a walk or doing household chores, I always have to have my favorite music in my ears. I had a job once, where I cleaned a hospital, and when it got quiet, and the visitors went home, I had music in my ears. I would be […]
Jennette McCurdy Isn’t Really Glad That Her Mom Died…Is She?
After reading Jennette McCurdy’s I’m Glad My Mom Died, I am genuinely shocked that we didn’t get to see the reappearance of Sam Puckett whacking her toxic family across the head with a sock full of butter—or at least true iCarly fans would understand. What’s most interesting here is that Jennette McCurdy’s true character is […]
Why Sports Should Be More Neurodivergent Friendly
Sports can be a challenge to anyone, especially those who are not as athletic or need assistance. When I was in school, I was always the last one picked for a team. I couldn’t focus on the game, and most of the time, I would be just playing in the grass or spinning in circles. […]
Michigan Reigns Supreme
I mean, who would’ve thought? Just three years ago, the Michigan Wolverines sunk to new lows after falling to an 8-24 regular season record—-the worst record in the franchise’s history. Now, they’re standing atop the men’s basketball league chopping down the net and raising the trophy as the 2025-2026 NCAA Tournament Champions. Last night, Michigan […]
Kids’ Menus are an Autistic’s Haven
My whole life, I’ve been told I’m picky, and before I learned about aversion to certain textures, I agreed. After I was diagnosed, I learned I didn’t like the texture of the food. From the slimy textures of bananas to the sponginess of cake, and my list goes on. Even as an adult, when I […]
When Cartoons Turned to Reality TV: A Look Back at Total Drama Island
We’re taking a trip back to 2008 when American viewers got to witness an animated, PG—or at least for the most part—version of the reality competition show Survivor. The animated series was, in a nutshell, a carbon copy of the hit reality show, and it gave younger viewers an early taste of reality television, without […]
World Autism Day
Thursday, April 2nd, 2026, is a glorious day for people with autism because there is so much representation. As autism becomes more and more well-known, it’s even more important to show awareness. As an autistic woman in her 30s, I didn’t get diagnosed till around 31, which sadly is very common in females. Boys are […]
