There’s no doubt that Spider–Man: No Way Home—not only the highest box–office earner during the COVID–19 pandemic, but also the sixth highest–grossing movie of all time—was a success of epic proportions. However, its appeal may not have been the emotional storylines, young stars, Tom Holland and Zendaya, or even the beloved character at the center of it all, but rather something that’s increasingly changing the face of Hollywood as we know it: de–aging technology.

When we make art, we tend to focus on the art itself, never the space where it was created.

With the success of fanfiction–turned–movie–series "After" being met with both surprised acceptance from fans and snobbishness from the high–brow community, fanfiction suddenly became considered a legitimate form of literature. Despite the perception of fanfiction as a fringe form of art common in only niche fandom subcultures, it is broadly defined as amateur fictional works involving elements of existing property including movies, music acts, television shows, books, and more. But while you might not have secretly read fanfiction under the covers, squealing as a dark–haired, mysterious lover gripped Y/N's waist, you’ve certainly read fanfiction in English class or for a book club.

When Mary Tyler Moore died in January of 2017, I was completely oblivious to the fact that the world had just lost a star, someone who had charmed American households over the CBS airwaves for decades. That's because I wasn’t aware of her groundbreaking, aptly–named television program, The Mary Tyler Moore Show. The show is a sitcom from the 1970s about a young woman, Mary Richards, who breaks off her engagement and moves to Minneapolis to start a career. She balances her time between the newsroom of a local television station, where she serendipitously lands a job as an associate producer, and her modest, but glamorous studio apartment.

I start watching baseball in my older sister’s apartment during Baltimore’s spring. It’s not for entertainment—every day, I breathe and sigh and occasionally eat and I am tired of it; for three hours, I would like not to exist. Baseball, with its droll and stretched–out minutes, offers that reprieve.

He might be the person I’ve cried to the most. But he never comforts me.

Yeah, I took a rather big bite of the pineapple, but I didn’t expect it to be so sour. My face contorted as I bit into the gooey yellow flesh, and the enzymes attacked my taste buds. It had been sitting on the counter for at least a week. Too early? Or likely too late. Diced so carefully, I considered it good practice as I ushered the perhaps–rotten fruit into the open mouth of the trash can.

I’ve never been more in love than I am right now.

We often don’t think of love as a radical act. From varying depictions of love in cheesy early 2000s rom–coms to the complex love we hold for our friends, our family, or even ourselves, love is something that is shared with another. But what does it mean to have love for a community—to practice love and care through advocacy and collective action?

For decades, Disney relied on Prince Charming for a happy ending; however, the company has since retired its signature plot device. In the last ten years, fairytale romances have morphed into touching meditations on familial relationships.

While Valentine’s Day is often associated with romance and roses, friendships can be some of the strongest connections often excluded from the celebrations. Instead, with this year’s Valentine’s Day playlist, I hoped to focus on philia, the love between friends.

2022 is a big year for the Asian American community at Penn. This year marks the Asian American Studies program’s 25th year anniversary, a milestone that will be celebrated with various programming events leading up to a special ceremony on March 19th, themed "Visualizing Asian American Futures". However, the moment is bittersweet for many students and faculty. The 25 years since the program’s founding have been defined by a long struggle—one where the program has had to fight tooth and nail just for the right to exist.

When I think of love, I don’t picture myself sitting inside of a classroom. Maybe that’s just me, but my mind goes elsewhere. I imagine my younger brother letting me kiss him on the cheek, slightly leaning into my all–too–forceful hug. I think of couples laughing at each other while doing another dumb TikTok challenge. I hear my friends knocking on my door a little too late at night to see if I want to pick up some frozen yogurt. Love manifests itself in limitless forms.

“It’s a love story, baby, just say ‘Yes.’ ” A very optimistic statement, but one that won’t always come true.
