The Sydney Sweeny Ad is That Deep
By now, I’m sure you’ve all seen the new Novig Ad starring Sydney Sweeny, if not, honestly don’t bother. This ad reinforces every single stereotype about the patriarchy and misogyny in sport: women are an object for sex and men watch tough sports! This ad, promoting Novig’s ‘just sports’ trading app, leaves little to the […]
Let Me Cook – Queso
Things you’ll need:
Passing – Nella Larsen
Rating: 2/5 This novel, written back in the modernist era, is one of those gems that says a whole lot more about society than you’d ever think possible. It dives into the startling reality of coloured women who are white presenting, which isn’t a topic we see much of in literature, especially with how blunt […]
Love Island Season 8
Rating: -1/5 It’s got to be said; Love Island is never going to be a super good show with everything you need to settle in and watch something with quality. HOWEVER, I have to admit that this season did give us some gold wrapped up in the many, many episodes of tense music and loud […]
Legally Blonde
Rating: 5/5 Warning: this review contains spoilers I am very biased towards this film, which is definitely going to show in this review, but that’s just because I am absolutely in love with it. Legally Blonde did something very few films were capable of and still are, which is creating a well-rounded feminist film. First, […]
Covers that are better than the original:
Some songs are so good they survive being messed with. Others get completely reworked, stripped back, sped up, slowed down, or dragged somewhere their original artists never intended – and somehow come out better for it. This playlist is dedicated to the covers that didn’t just pay tribute to the original, but gave it a […]
BIOMO204
I sit down with some old friends from highschool, and after the obligatory “where are they now” gossip sesh, we start the lecture with the big ol’ title “Endocrinology” on the screen; I zoned out to type this, and now they’re talking about a bunch of very sad, very painful and probably lethal diseases. And […]
Horoscopes – Issue 21
Aries: A bad idea will sound surprisingly reasonable this week. Give it 24 hours. Taurus: Your bank account has noticed your recent behaviour. Consider putting down apple pay. Gemini: You’ll accidentally become involved in drama you were only supposed to hear about, protect your peace. Cancer: Someone will overshare with you this week, refuse to […]
Nexus Breaks the News – Issue 21
AUCKLAND’S CRL… CHRIS REALLY LIKES IT! The people of Auckland were in absolute heat for the opening of the City Rail Link, as evidenced by a fire breaking out on the morning of it’s big day. Nexus can neither confirm nor deny that the fire was a diversion for Chris Bishop to cruise in the public […]
ACT? MORE LIKE ACTT (ACTUALLY CUTTING TE TIRITI)
The ACT party have wheeled out another inflammatory policy. Party leader David Seymour announced on Thursday the 10th that, if elected, ACT would pursue ending the Waitangi Tribunal’s contemporary jurisdiction. It would mean that, once all cases lodged before the 1st of September 2008 had been settled, the tribunal would lose all power. ACT’s announcement of […]
