Thanksgiving break is almost here, but there is still plenty happening around the city. Kick things off on Friday at Ottobar’s early bird ‘80s dance party, spend Saturday hopping between art, film and live music, and close out the weekend with Talib Kweli at Baltimore Soundstage for a night of sharp lyricism before the holiday begins.
Exams may be in full swing, but Baltimore’s weekend lineup offers a much-needed break from the grind. From the immersive sounds of the Diffusion Festival to live music at Dam Jam, local art at Evergreen’s Holiday Market and vintage treasures at Union Collective, there’s plenty to explore before ending the weekend with Astronaut Symphony’s cosmic performance.

You know when you close your eyes, travel back to that one moment in time, the one that feels so real you can smell it, hear it and feel its warmth in the air? For me, that moment has always been Christmas. Every time I see the first string of lights go up or hear a familiar carol play in the background, I’m instantly brought back to this one memory: my brother and I standing beside our Christmas tree, our faces glowing in the soft light, completely mesmerized by the magic of it all.
A breath of fresh air. It feels like a breath of fresh air.

Last week, my roommate and I were discussing our favorite early 2000s rom-coms (with “How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days” at the top of the list, obviously), when she asked, “Hailey, are you against plastic surgery?” This question may seem abrupt, but it represented the accumulation of critical bits and pieces of our conversation: Samantha Jones in Sex and the City (Season 2, Episode 3, “The Freak Show”), the popularization of discussing cosmetic procedures on social media and the ways in which the female body has been turned into a trend.

Today I examine the Opinion section of The News-Letter through a written interview with its editor, Ayden Min.
One Tuesday morning, while standing next to my club’s harm reduction card, I watched as an elderly woman in a wheelchair pushed herself forward, nearly passing me on her way to the Johns Hopkins Hospital. She looked up to greet me, then caught one glimpse of our banner which dons clip art images of a syringe, a small pipe with smoke coming out of it and Band-Aids.

When the sun has slipped beneath the skyline – circumscribed in a rectangular panel beside my peripheral vision – I am beside my desk, index finger tendon taut with tension as I tap against a mouse pad. The time is 9:19, or 21:21, displayed on my blinking digital clock that’s two minutes ahead. Its glare spreads from the glassy confines of the LED display.
It is 5:08 a.m., and I am absorbed in a Freida McFadden book, having just discovered the joy of being invested in a psychological thriller. I am surrounded by LED cherry blossom lights and fairy lights to make my tiny dorm space cozy.
