James Iha Hair Revival
You see the influence. James Iha isn’t just a rock god, but a style icon. Lately there’s been a resurgence of his signature coif- layered shoulder length dark hair, with two blonde streaks on each side. As exemplified in this Heaven ad circa 2022, Iha is an underrated fashion pillar of the 90’s. I already did an ode to his hotness (read James Iha Was Hot AF), but he needs one for the looks he’s given. Thank you for your service daddy. Via: Getty Images & Teen Vogue
Caleb McLaughlin For Teen Vogue
When? How? I thought I was the only one doing a triple take at this shoot, when did he become an adult?!!!! Fully confused. I’m not ready for the Stranger Things cast to grow up. Y’all were just riding bikes through the woods, playing Dungeons & Dragon’s in Finn’s basement. Anyone else stunned by how quickly time passes? Via: Teen Vogue

De-Conditioning: Read Books Of Different Cultures
Harping once more that reading from other perspectives is critical. This is what makes you educated, worldly and cultured. Our ancestors risked their lives to learn for a reason, knowledge is power. All these people travel the world and couldn’t perspective shift to save their life, because they roam through self-absorption. They learn more about their hotel accommodations and tourist itineraries, completely missing the sociological value. Other people matter, their voices are important, they aren’t just your instagram photo backdrop. Why are you so self-involved?
Notable mentions to: Kindred by Octavia Butler, The Darkest Child by Dolores Phillips (needs a movie adaptation it’s so good) and The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead. Reading is to the mind, what exercise is to the body; learn about cultural experiences beyond yours.
