The Definitive Ranking of Dolly Parton Songs
It cannot be denied that 2020 was the year of Dolly. The Queen of Country not only delivered an impressive slate of creative projects in the form of books, music, and Netflix movies, but also gave us a Covid-19 vaccine and plenty of love and light to help us make it to 2021. Is there anything she can’t do?

The Beatles: Inspiration in Ink
Choosing a tattoo is remarkably easy, or impossibly hard. You either know exactly what you want, or have no idea what you'd like, just that you know you definitely want a tattoo.

Go Solo
July, Corona does have a symptom for the uninfected, and that must be this summery slumber. These days, the sunlight burns moth holes through the curtains, making the 93 million mile trek just to wake me, a mummy wrapped in linens. Dog days were carved into our biological clock at an early age. Usually a favorite of school kids for their hibernation, this semester is loved for its sprinklers, ice pops, and 3 AM crickets picnicking out on the lawn. Overall, it’s somntastic, but the harvest time slug doesn’t seem to fit this summer well, considering at least what it’s been harvesting.

12 Houses
There's a corner in my home that has been a bedrock of my childhood but strangely has lived in many different houses. This “corner” has traveled with me over the years and transforms any new unfamiliar house into a home. My family and I moved around a lot when I was growing up, 12 times to be exact, but my thoughtful parents were always able to provide me with this cozy corner and avenue of creativity and escape.

I Listened to "Temporary Secretary" by Paul McCartney for Five Hours and Had a Brilliantly Miserable Time
I’ve begun to believe of late that Paul McCartney is immortal, if not by natural means, then by supernatural means in the very least. In some form or another, Paul McCartney petitioned some eldritch being to grant him eternal life. It’s in the science, and I can prove it. Take a moment to listen to Temporary Secretary by the aforementioned Beatle. Go on. I’ll wait. Now tell me, after listening to that song just once, that the only reason that it exists isn’t to come in contact with some creature from the deepest, darkest recesses of the human psyche, in a plane of existence beyond our very observation. Somehow, Paul McCartney tapped into there, and-

Holden on a Harley.

With the release of Let You Down, NF became “mainstream.” People labeled themselves a fan after they heard the song on the radio and scoured the internet for his music. Some people listen to his music on the account of popularity, others admire his catchy beats and reminiscence of Eminem, but his dedicated fans, that avidly listened to his music on repeat and waited for every new album released, felt a sense of bitter sweetness as their beloved and tormented NF hit it big. He deserved the recognition, but do they really understand and appreciate his music? Many pre-mainstream followers felt the new fans did not. NF’s fan base connects to his music on a deep level to an extent not seen elsewhere, which has gained him a lot of loyal and protective fans. His music addresses hard topics such as hardships, depression, and love. He acknowledges that life isn’t sunshine and rainbows. Life is hard, and it especially has been for him and his fans that connect with his words.

Zoom sing alongs are so 2020
The coronavirus pandemic and Donald Trump’s presidency brought out two very extreme and opposite reactions in Americans. Some citizens became filled with hatred and intolerance. This escalated until a mob of right wing fanatics were planning and plotting and carried out the storming of the White House. There minds were obsessed with overthrowing the government.
