Sexual bias and stigma solidify differences in others

Alex Pesek February 26, 2013

Last fall, I randomly bought a book of collected essays on queer sex and dating, because I’m horribly inept at both. Queer narratives aren’t usually included in the mainstream, and even when they are,...

Learning to live with ‘first world problems’

Jamie Ras February 26, 2013

Megan Pearl February 22, 2013

Let me just begin by saying if you haven’t yet watched Netflix’s first original series, “House of Cards,” you should use this snowed-in weekend as the chance to start. It may not be a lesson in...

Despite MU’s blunders, storm brought out the best in people

MU administrators made a grave mistake

February 22, 2013

As I write this, I am sitting in a car that came to pick me up three hours ago. Traffic has been at a standstill for most of that time, and, in the span of three hours, I have traveled a mile. Stadium...

MU response to storm was dismal
