(Note: This post will only refer to the first three seasons of American Horror Story -- partially because the fourth season is still running, but mainly because I’m boycotting it due to its increasing similarity to “Glee.”)
at times I've been known to describe her as the luminescent beacon of light,
South Dakota’s longtime ban on marriage equality, stemming from a law made in 1996 and the constitutional amendment in 2006, reached a turning point January 13th when Judge Karen Schreier marked the ban as unconstitutional. The movement for reversing the ban began in October of 2014 when six couples brought their case against the state. While Schreier’s results were quickly returned, the final results are not entirely in yet.
With the average cost to produce and market a motion picture exceeding $100 million in 2007 (the last year the Motion Picture Association of America provided such statistics), it’s easy to see why the major studios want some assurances of the revenue their films will generate. The Hollywood community talks about “bankables,” which are those things that they know will bring in revenue. For example, the-numbers.com estimates that having Brad Pitt in a movie will bring in $10 million. That will happen no matter the subject -- he generates that level of interest. An executive producer like Steven Spielberg guarantees just about as much.
This is Loki, also known as Kitty. He's a 7-year-old White German Shepard. He was curious but never went too far from his human.
This is Sonny. He was born with two legs. When I met him, he was being carried by his owner because his wheelchair had broken that day.
Looking back, my story looks like a bit of a cliché. I grew up “feeling different” from other people. I attributed most of it to wanting to be just like my older brother. I get my skepticism (religious and otherwise), my taste in music (for the most part), and my early attempts to skateboard from him. The rest I attributed to my not wearing anything from American Eagle, where it seemed 90% of the people at my school bought 75% of their wardrobes.
Here we are a decade and a half into the new millennium and much has changed since the transition from the 20th century into the 21st. For instance, in the year 2000 no states within America legally recognized same-sex unions. Now more than thirty states have legalized same-sex marriages thus granting homosexual couples the same rights and benefits as heterosexual couples. The ban on same-sex marriage has been ruled unconstitutional, not only in the country’s capital, Washington D.C. but in states scattered all across the nation. From Alaska to Wyoming several states have made one thing clear; love is not a legal matter.
The southern United States has the reputation of being critical of the LGBTQA community, but what is not as widely known is that there are oases of acceptance scattered throughout. These hotspots, at least the ones the documentary focuses on, are all bars which host a friendly and open atmosphere where LGBTQA peoples can be themselves; however, these bars serve as both bastions of acceptance and dangerous, targeted locations. Not everyone in the communities in which these bars are located is accepting of their presence, and the documentary shows us the great pains that come with owning bars that cater to the LGBTQA community.
Whether you’re Michael Jordan, Justin Beiber or even former President George W. Bush, no one is exempt from a nomination for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. For the past few weeks, it has overtaken our Instagram and Facebook pages. Most videos are the same: they thank the person who nominated he or she, challenge a few others and finally, get dowsed by a bucket of ice water.
Call it another redemption story if the shoe fits, but if I were Cinderella, I’d certainly not fit that shoe. My foot would either be too big because of the small category success it has been confined to, or it would be peculiarly small because the shoes set to fit me were never mine.
A few weeks before we graduated high school, a friend and I were hanging out in my hometown. It was a Friday night and the humid heat of summer had already set in.
America still has a racism problem. And following the events in Ferguson, Missouri involving the death of unarmed 18-year old Michael Brown by a white officer, it’s impossible to ignore any longer.
I packed my bags and prepared to leave home, for sacrifices I needed to make. But some of my family members were not as excited about my decision.
As a child, Caitlin Burkus picked up rock after rock in the summer heat. Today, she reflects on her experience and how it has impacted her work ethic in college.
This is Sonny. He was born with two legs. When I met him, he was being carried by one of his humans in a pouch kind of like a fanny pac. I later learned his wheelchair was broken and they didn't find out until the day of the Zombie Walk. He still got out and began hopping around with children at the end of the walk. The children said she looked like a kangaroo and were not reluctant to play with him.
This is Halle. She was dressed up for the Zombie Walk with her humans on Ball State's campus. She was happily trotting around campus at her humans' side
This is Scooter. He's was completely content with sitting under a tree and watching zombie's walk by during the Zombie Walk on Ball State's campus.
This is Wink. I met him when I was covering a zombie walk on campus. Needless to say, he was content with just watching the zombies walk past.
This is Raji. He was sniffing everything in sight when I met him. He's an Australian Shepard. He was also very friendly.
