Celebrating 200 Years

Culture


Experiencing music has become more of an isolated experience over time.

The death of the aux cord

The way that we listen to music as a society has shifted and changed over time. Yet, it remains a crucial part of many people’s lives. The sad thing is that music has become an isolated part of life, even though it was created as a way to connect and communicate with others.

Wellness is the greatest kindness you can give yourself

A few years ago I stayed up far too late scrolling on my phone — don’t judge, I know you’re guilty of it as well — and I came across some old pictures from when I had a watch party for Billie Eilish’s Apple TV documentary “The World’s a Little Blurry.” Seeing those pictures reminded me of a specific scene from the film where Billie is having a consultation with her physical therapist. Somewhere during the conversation, her therapist tells her if she doesn’t carve out time for herself, no one else will.

FOOD

Finding comfort in food

Food: possibly one of my favorite four-letter words; not just because I love a good meal, but also because of how it can represent people’s identities. Just take a quick look at the TV schedule for the Food Network, where celebrities take us into their personal lives with food. People like Ree Drummond take us behind the scenes and show us what food means to them, and the impact it’s had on their lives. Not only do we need food to live, we need it to thrive.
