The Notorious RBG

Ruth Bader Ginsburg has held many titles over the course of her life. Supreme Court Justice. Law student. Professor. Mother. Wife. Daughter. But perhaps her most significant title that still resonates with us today is that of feminist icon. Ginsburg was a pioneer for gender equality, a trailblazer for equal rights, spending a majority of her life fighting for women everywhere.

What the COVID-19 era has meant for refugees around the globe

To say that this year has not been easy would be an understatement.

Awareness is at an all-time high, but sometimes it feels like empathy for the environment is nonexistent, extinct like the many species that suffered from toxic human habits.

Abandoned Furniture

The things you can find in someone’s trash says a lot about them: receipts from where they shop, their preferred brand of toilet paper, or how often they order take-out. In particular, I want to focus on abandoned furniture; from the mattress you sleep on to the shelf you put your books on, furniture is something you assume will stay a permanent fixture in your home.
