I love Valentine’s Day. I love the candy and chocolate. I love the flowers and jewelry. I love the music and the public displays of affection. With that being said, I would trade every single aspect of Valentine’s Day to be at Proud Larry’s Feb. 24. Code Pink, a recurring self-described “LGBTQIA+ dance party” is […]
Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker has doubts about President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee. While on a podcast last week, Senator Wicker lamented that President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee will be a “beneficiary of affirmative action” and, implicitly, unqualified to sit on the highest court in the country.

“America seems filled with violent people who like causing people pain but hate when those people tell them that pain hurts.” Kiese Laymon is perhaps the most prolific and controversial professor to have ever led a classroom at the University of Mississippi. Though he has recently left UM for Rice University, the talent, passion, forgiveness […]
It is common knowledge that Mississippi is one of the sickest states in the nation. Along with SEC football, comfort food and our unpleasant past, Mississippi’s poor health outcomes must be one of the most widely held conceptions about the state.

While I’ve gotten used to the humidity in my three years at the flagship, campus fashion and the culture which surrounds it still perplex me. I have come to recognize, however, that […]
Last week, I had the unfortunate experience of falling down a PragerU rabbit hole. For those of you lucky enough to be ignorant of PragerU, it is a conservative media institution whose content ranges from talk radio to children’s cartoons. My spiral occurred after I saw an advertisement in the library for an upcoming campus […]
The first Monday in May arrived on Sept. 13 this year. Rescheduled due to COVID-19, the Met Gala was finally livestreamed to the public last week amidst mixed reviews. The Met Gala serves as an opportunity for celebrities to reach new levels of stardom and designers to showcase their boldest looks. The world’s most exclusive […]
Welcome back to the Velvet Ditch, Rebs. For those of us who have attended the Flagship long enough to remember a pre-COVID-19 campus, this fall is the closest to a “normal” semester we’ve experienced in what feels like forever.
