WAIW | We’re Not In This Together(?)

Image contains a photo of a man on the left-hand side looking to the top right. The man’s face, shoulders, and left hand are visible, and he’s against a white wall. He has a questioning look on his face, and his hand is resting under his chin.

Just like so many things the magazine discusses, the COVID-19 pandemic is too complicated to use something like "we're all in this together" as a call to action. Read More »

TBT | Our Heroes are (Still) Problematic

Image contains three photographs placed next to each other in three narrow columns. Each photo contains a male looking at the camera, and he is mimicking the gestures for see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil in each respective panel. Above the men in the photos, there is white text that says "Our Heroes Are Problematic" and below the men there is text that says "Where Am I Wednesday".

With the future of the next issue and the magazine still up in the air, I thought today would be a good time to throwback to when I discussed the issue of hero worship in relation to Peter Singer and a few others. Read More »
