The brilliant Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) team has achieved brilliance again, bringing us the first image of the black hole at the center of our very own Milky Way galaxy – Sagittarius A*. While much closer to Earth, being that it is in our own galaxy some 27,000 light years away, this black hole was …
Hot on the heels of Heartstopper, Hulu’s new movie Crush delivers another heartwarming queer story – this time in the form of a high school rom-com. The story follows artsy high schooler Paige (Rowan Blanchard) who joins her high school track team to avoid suspension after she is accused of being the school’s mysterious graffiti …
The James Webb Telescope’s instruments are now fully aligned and focused! And, according to NASA, the “optical performance of the telescope continues to be better than the engineering team’s most optimistic predictions.” After nearly 25 years of development and a million mile do-or-die unfolding process in space this is music to my ears. To check …
Heartstopper on Netflix is pure AF. It is the cinnamon roll of television sweetness I didn’t know I needed. Based on Alice Oseman’s graphic novels of the same name, the first season follows two British teenagers, Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring, as they become friends and maybe something more. Charlie is an out teen who …
There was a month there where things were pretty dry on the TV-front and I delved deep into books. But, I’m pleased to report that time is over and books are for squares! Just kidding, but I’m back to the other rectangular entertainment box, and have these new watches to recommend: Julia I launched this …
Last year I spoke about how important representation is to feeling confident enough to express your own identity or grey areas. During the time when I was beginning to talk more about my own grey areas in 2020, I watched Netflix’s The Prom. And that’s where I first saw Ariana DeBose. The Prom cast two …
The past few weeks have been a bit dry on the TV front, but fortunately three new shows have recently come on my radar that I’ve really enjoyed and recommend checking out! The Dropout I went into The Dropout fairly blind. I knew Elizabeth Holmes was a person who was in the news a lot, …
I’d heard West Side Story was very good, but that very few people had gone to see its theatrical release over the holidays. So, I had some tempered expectations going in. But, after the first few seconds of the “Prologue” music playing, I was transfixed, and remained so for the next 2 hours and 38 …
I’ve been loving watching the Olympics the past few weeks. There have been so many impressive accomplishments, remarkable acts of sportsmanship, and all-around good vibes. But, none have exemplified this better than skiers and snowboarders. The addition of X Games sports like ski and snowboard-cross, half-pipe, slopestyle, and Big Air have made for some of …
The Expanse has been such a wonderful watch the past six years. It’s a rare sci-fi show that actually integrates a lot of real science and physics into its narrative – like having ship’s thrusters fire “backwards” to slow down in space. More than that, though, it has had some of the most compelling female …
