    Short Story: A First-person Confessional

    April 1, 2017 /

    Disclaimer: this story is purely fictional. I like people. I enjoy their differences, their similarities and their stupid habits that make them them. When I wander the streets in search of that perfect oasis of liquor and darkness, I can’t help but be drawn to people. It’s a demented beauty really. Perceived only in the mind’s eye, this appreciation of the molded figures that are just so malleable. I really like people. I like to follow them. I’ve been told that isn’t natural. But what exactly is natural? Webbed feet are natural but people cringe at the thought. Did you cringe? I did, but only a little. Still that doesn’t…

    A Passionate Past: Marcus/Emma by the Interact Theatre Company

    March 4, 2017 /

    What would you fight for? What would you fight against? These monumental questions were raised in the small hallways of The Drake before an anarchical display of the past. A collage of colored post-its guided playgoers, guiding them with beliefs, passions and fears into a small theatre where their beliefs were about to be challenged. Marcus/Emma was a riveting and speech-laden play that paired two prominent figures in American History: Marcus Garvey, an activist for Black Nationalism and Pan-Africanism; and Emma Goldman, anarchist, feminist, and communist. Neither took their first breaths on American soil and both were exiled before they each took their last. Both hiding from persecution, Goldman and…

    Single for Valentine’s Day? Have no Fear: 14th Street is Here to Make Your Valentine’s Day a Little Sweeter

    February 14, 2017 /

    Valentine’s day is both the best day to own a chocolate shop and the worst day to be single, especially if you’re broke. Anyone who has been single for their fair share of Valentine’s Days is familiar with the sinking realization that your night to be spent watching Netflix, eating some candy and not texting your ex – really, don’t do it. First of all, this is a perfectly dignified way to spend any day, especially Valentine’s Day. But with a little planning, your Alone-entine’s Day (we went there) could be a little – or a lot –  sweeter. Hershey’s chocolate bars are classic and delicious, but all too often…

    1/21/2017: Women’s March on Washington Photo Gallery

    January 22, 2017 /

    The day after President Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration, hundreds of thousands of men and women marched in Washington, D.C. and around the world in protest of the new president’s treatment of women and minorities. Reports say the march brought three times the amount of people to the Nation’s Capitol than the inauguration ceremony did. 14th Street writer Brianna Baker traveled to Washington and documented the historic march.

    Paint the Revolution: A Chilling Retrospective on Conflict and Destruction

    November 30, 2016 /

    Visitors to the Paint the Revolution exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art yearn for a fortunate opportunity to see, firsthand, famous pieces by painter-turned-pop-culture-icon Frida Kahlo or one of Diego Rivera’s renowned large-scale works. The front of the museum itself had been temporarily adorned with a self-portrait of Kahlo. The long-anticipated exhibition opened Oct. 25 and begins with works from Mexican artists in the 1910s. It’s an era of political upheaval in Mexico. Leaders sought the cultural unification of their countrymen and one way they tried to achieve it was through public art. Artists like Francisco Goitia, José Clemente Orozco and Rivera painted adoring landscapes of Mexico as well…

    Wahlburgers Proves Unexiting

    November 3, 2016 /

    Whether you love him or hate him, it’s safe to bet that you have at least heard of Mark Wahlberg. What many people haven’t heard, though, is that Mark’s brother, Paul Wahlberg (or Paulberg as I’ve nicknamed him), decided to rally the family and open a burger chain. It’s appropriately named Wahlburgers. Note: there is an entire TV show about this, which I was unaware of until arriving at the restaurant. Wahlburgers was a perfectly punny name for what was a horrendously underwhelming burger chain. I love Mark and wouldn’t want to tarnish his family’s name, but good God were these burgers more average than Paul Rudd playing checkers. The…

    Plight of the Two-Party System

    November 2, 2016 /

      When Green Party of Philadelphia leaders were asked at a meeting if they thought Dr. Jill Stein actually had a chance at the presidency, the question was met with laughter. There was no glimmer of hope that she could win, because Green Party members know the truth: our country is tyrannized by a two-party system and the little man is lost in the process. Smaller parties have no prospect because they’re going against a system made for two parties. They are barred from the national debates due to the lack of support, costing them valuable face-time in the media and the ability to gain any more support. And with…

    Beyoncé at the Linc: In the Rain, She Reigns

    October 25, 2016 /

    Standing in the rain at Lincoln Financial Field, I wished for two things: first, that I was allowed to bring an umbrella in the stadium, and second, that Beyoncé would descend from whatever cloud she lives on and grace the stage, already. The show, one of the last stops on the Formation World Tour, was set to begin at 7:30 on Sept. 29. It wasn’t until 8:00 that opening act DJ Khaled entered to delight us with his greatest talent: playing 30 seconds of other artists’ songs before cutting them off at the best part to plug his new album or thank his mom for his success. It was only…
