Daniel Torres (he/him)Running for nearly 13 years and having just recently premiered its fourteenth season, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” has cemented itself as one of the most influential queer reality television shows to date. It has brought the art of drag and, by extension, queer culture into mainstream, where it has found success with a diverse audience. From weekly viewing parties at gay bars, to younger children who gain their first exposure to drag through the show, to heterosexual audiences, “Drag Race” has fans of all ages and sexual orientations. Though it reaches individuals of various genders and orientations, the competition has branded itself as a show with exclusively queer contestants— until now, that is, with the newest season casting “Drag Race’s” first ever cisgender, heterosexual man, Maddy Morphosis.

Folks, prepare your minds for a deep dive into the world of tomorrow. We got the opportunity to talk to Blue Delliquanti, the creator behind the hit webcomic ‘O Human Star’ and graphic novels like ‘Meal’ and ‘The ‘Stan.’ We sat down to discuss what the future after the recent conclusion of ‘O Human Star’ holds. We hope you enjoy— we certainly did. Elessar Younglove (They/She)My favorite piece of media is a work of literature titled “Belle Prater’s Boy” by Ruth White. In this review, I will discuss the novel’s explorations (the themes and topics it incorporates into the story or which it challenges) and its limitations (topics it does not successfully pursue, or which it reinforces rather than challenges). “Belle Prater’s Boy” explores themes of gender and socialization, and how gender and socialization affect identity through three female characters: Love, Belle, and Gypsy. However, the novel is limited by its lack of societal solutions.

Daniel Torres (he/him)Sappho (also occasionally spelled Psappho or Sapphus) is recognized as one of the most influential lyrical poets of both her period and all time, having been referred to as “the tenth Muse” by Plato himself. It’s well known that she is often portrayed as one of history’s most iconic lesbian figures. The term “lesbian” itself is a derivative of the name of her birth island, Lesbos, just as the adjective “sapphic” is a direct play on her name.
