12th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art
The conflict between a curatorial institution represented by Attia and the Iraqi artists (those who speak and act in solidarity with their refusal to exhibit their work) could be understood as a misalignment of understanding of how the role of representation affects its subjects, especially in contexts in which those represented are most vulnerable.
The Truth About "Toxic Culture" And Why Workers Leave Their Jobs

'American Guinea Pig: Sacrifice': Transformation of the Flesh and the Inner Self [New Queer Extremity]
This piece of extreme horror is more than just skin-deep in more ways than one. The conflict between our physical bodies and the self that inhabits them is one that anyone can relate to. We all have certain things that bother us about our physical forms, be it simply cosmetic issues, the ability to express ourselves a certain way, or not identifying with our birth gender. I personally believe that this is powerful territory to mine in a film.

'Tetsuo: The Iron Man': Queer Desire and the Cyberpunk Closet [New Queer Extremity]
Just as important as discussing the overtly queer narrative of modern extreme horror is diving into the past and reading the subtext in older films. With a film like Tetsuo: The Iron Man, it is not incredibly subtle but serves as a fascinating study of eroticism and queer awakening in the context of extreme horror. Shinya Tsukamoto’s film serves as an incredible landmark in queer horror cinema. It provides both beauty and horror in the face of bodily transformation and sexual awakening.
The Power of Changing Perspective [New Queer Extremity]
Editor’s note: this piece contains references to rape and sexual assault Queer serial killers have fascinated the general public for decades. From Jeffrey Dahmer to Bob Berdella, they raise fascination by essentially acting as boogeymen for males. However, what is rarely discussed is how these people managed to stay active by focusing on queer victims and sex workers. These victims wouldn’t arouse as much attention from the news and authorities.
Let’s Play A Game Review
The Black Sheep Choose your own adventure and horror sounds like the perfect marriage between genres. And that marriage has previously resulted in beautiful children, Until Dawn and Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead. Let’s Play a Game is the black sheep of the family. It’s an uninspired rip-off of popular horror movies from the last half-century. The scariest thing about Rabbit Mountain’s newest adventure game is the number of ads you’ll come across.
Game Cred: Causality, Generational Trauma, and Failed Masculinity in 'The LISA Trilogy'
This is the second installment of Game Cred: a collection of essays about video games to tie in with our latest Zine. Content warning: this piece discusses child abuse, substance abuse, and sexual assault. This piece also contains spoilers for The LISA trilogy. The LISA trilogy of games was developed by Austin Jorgensen, AKA Dingaling Productions. The games follow a series of characters, beginning with Lisa, as her trauma and then suicide affects those around her.
Moonlight Sculptor Review
A Scaled-Down RPG Moonlight Sculptor is a free-to-play MMORPG by XL Games, and it feels like one. An RPG, that is. The game has a variety of modes and side quests to choose from, so many that you may feel overwhelmed at first. But you’ll soon realize that it will take a decent chunk of time to unlock the different features and modes that are offered, as they’re locked behind player levels. Leveling up doesn’t happen very quickly, so that begs the question: Is the game worth the time investment?
Nature Notes: The American robin sings with a purpose
His purpose is two-fold: a warning to male rivals to move on, and an invitation to local females to linger.

Article content By John Patterson It’s early morning and through the bedroom window drifts the familiar sound of the American robin.
Indie Game Review: Fez
A Mind Expanding Adventure Rarely does a game come along that motivates a player to dig deep for the answers to the puzzles it poses and rarely is the reward so fulfilling. Fez is that game and more. The player can easily get lost in the relaxing world of beautiful scenery and gentle music of Fez, but solving the next puzzle is what really drives the experience. When you stop and think about what each aspect of Fez means, youwill find the game is full of metaphor.
What is The Matrix?
There it squats, a menacing Death Star at the pinnacle of Hollywood’s summer release schedule, spitting fire and ruin on all who approach it – Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, a movie emitting lethal box-office anti-gravity waves. Pity the fool who schedules his film to open anywhere near the oncoming behemoth. No wonder producer Joel Silver was anxious about his effects-heavy, $60 million cyberspace thriller The Matrix.
Do I need a lawyer?
What’s black and looks good on a lawyer? A Rottweiler. It can sometimes be hard to imagine anything worse than experiencing the breakdown of a family or a marriage, particularly if conflict or emotions are spiralling out of control. Amidst all of that heartache and turmoil, one of the things that can drain whatever colour is left from the faces of the poor folks stuck in the middle is the introduction of a soul-sucking, 6-minute-interval-charging lawyer. And the only thing worse than that?
A new birth of freedom: Why current American pessimism is misplaced
We are not happy. A recent Gallup poll recorded the lowest levels of national pride in two decades. The same survey also recorded that only 20 percent of those polled were satisfied with the way things are going in the U.S. at this time, a four-year low.
How visually-impaired kids can help education right now
Post-Brexit, and within a global pandemic, discussions around what should or should not happen in education has been both taken back to its roots, and quite simultaneously connected with innovation and future ‘ways of being’. The lockdown gave us all time to reflect and re-evaluate. Presented here is a practical way we as educators can take action into that new, fresh way we looked at things coming out of lockdown.

Devil’s Night
I must have been eleven or twelve in 1966, when my old man decided to burn Martha Jones’s house down. At the time he was restless and figured the neighbourhood kids needed a thrill. We lived at St. George and 23rd Avenue in east Vancouver, in a forty-year-old three-storey house that my dad stuccoed in green and white rock and glass when I was about eight.
Dangers of Ignoring Cataract Symptoms
You See an Old Man or share one of your own You see an old man Drooling in his wheelchair. I see a man who could make almost anything With scrap metal from the junk pile. You see an old man Who speaks only when spoken to. I see a man who told exciting stories Of his encounters with grizzly bears and getting lost in the mountains. You see an old man Whose speech is garbled and confused. I see a man who sang hymn after hymn by memory To keep himself awake while driving through the night.

My life at home vs. my life at school
I always feel mixed up when I come home. I drive two hours into a whole new world of Northern Virginia. There are strange sights like people outside the age range of 18 to 24. It’s a whole different lifestyle too. Even though I do a lot of the same activities it all just feels so different. Let me give you some examples. Going to the library: School: It would take me three semesters to find parking, so I walk instead. I look for friends, ignore the books. I stay for hours.
