Johnson's Journal: Winston under unnecessary scrutiny for 2012 incident

By RICHARD JOHNSON | July 30, 2014

A few months ago, one of my roommates brought home a blowgun. Like any red-blooded American male, we immediately went outside to try and shoot stuff. One of those things was a squirrel in our backyard. My roommate hit one, but I am not the marksman he is and didn’t come close. I tell you that story to say: I know what it means to be 18 years old and just mess around like Heisman winner Jameis Winston.

Reading cookbooks as history

By Kelsi | July 30, 2014

Cookbooks contain more than directions for food preparation. They are like a “magician’s hat: one can get more out of them than they seem to contain,” or so muses culinary historian Barbara Wheaton.

FYE: What you should know about American Horror Story; Freak Show so far

By JoAnne Ortiz | July 30, 2014

The CEO of FX, John Landgraf, recently spoke about the upcoming new season of the show American Horror Story titled Freak Show. The new season follows performers at a carnival freak show, as the title reveals. Landgraf has said that American Horror Story's seasons have alternated between "brash and campy" like in the most recent season, Coven, and "dark and brooding" like in the previous season Asylum. Freak Show, he said, is a combination of both types. It will have some humor in it, but will also have a dark feeling to it. If you are new to American Horror Story, each season is a completely different theme and story, but most of the time the same actors come back to play different characters with some new additions to the cast as well; good news if you've never seen the previous seasons because you can jump right in and you haven't missed anything! This type of show is typically called an anthology. So, for those of you that are excited for Freak Show, here's what we know about it so far.

This Week in Social Justice: Transcending the binary part 2

By Anthony Tijerino | July 28, 2014

In part one of this series on trans issues I discussed appropriate and inappropriate terminology to use or avoid when talking about trans issues and/or about trans people. Today, let’s focus on two major issues trans people face that cisgender people (people who identify with the gender with which we were assigned at birth) find ourselves privileged enough to avoid. As with part one, this is not an exhaustive list for there are, sadly, many other issues to be accounted for.
