I don’t want to read about John Muir anymore. I know his story after studying Environmental Science and Policy because it flows throughout the curriculum. I’ve grown tired of single-lens environmental narratives that prioritize male, mostly white, perspectives.

We’ve still got Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3, The Marvels, and a handful of Disney Plus shows to get through before Marvel kicks off its 2024 slate, but considering the cinematic universe is home to a fandom that daydreams beyond the beyond, getting excited for Captain America: New World Order is a perfectly valid use of one’s time. With a legion of characters old, new, and very, very old set to appear in the film, New World Order is bound to have an exciting, perhaps familiar flavor to it. Although, like a fair shake of the Multiverse Saga’s projects, it’s not terribly clear how these…

Deborah Brown grew up calling her “Aunt Sister,” and she remembers her storied life through the haze of childhood in segregated Kansas City, Mo., more than a half a century ago. There were the fancy limos and Cadillacs that ferried young relatives to school and out for barbecue, the White-owned department store that opened its doors just so Sarah Rector could shop; the rolling farmland where Rector would invite Brown’s mother and the children for family gatherings. Brown, then a grade-schooler living in a two-bedroom house with three siblings, her parents and her grandmother, marveled but didn’t dare ask questions. “We’re…

This was only continued with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which saw the many variants played by the same actors as other movies. However, Spider-Man:…

In fact, the story turned out to be fake. While fact-checking the post, we found that the images are at least six…
