University announces updates to the Tufts International Travel Policy: Your Tufts Daily Briefing
Op-ed: Reentry success for incarcerated individuals isn’t what you think
What “successful reentry” looks like for individuals transitioning from correctional facilities to life post-release is often treated as self-evident: It means not going back to jail or prison, a measure commonly termed, “recidivism.” But people who have been incarcerated and are rebuilding their lives know that successful reentry requires community-building.
Why Frye boots are everywhere again and what they reveal about modern America
Across Depop, Frye boots are selling for hundreds of dollars. How can these vintage boots be so expensive and why are they all over your feed? If you haven’t heard of Frye boots, one of your friends definitely has and they can probably explain the seemingly cult-like obsession with them. Or, dig into the back of your mom’s closet — you might just be lucky enough to find a pair. Trends typically cycle every 20 years, but social media has significantly sped up this process.

‘The Smashing Machine’ reimagines the role of a fighter
In the late 1900s, America began to champion a new type of gladiator — one that traded togas for spandex and amphitheaters for arenas. Still, their fights were primal and captivated the masses, earning them their daily bread. Perhaps one of the most beloved fighters of this generation is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who debuted as a wrestler in the World Wrestling Federation, now the WWE, in 1996, and has since become one of Hollywood’s biggest stars.

Amanda Knox: The cost of reclaiming your narrative
When Monica Lewinsky reintroduced herself to the public nearly two decades after the public reveal of her affair with former President Bill Clinton, she did so on her own terms. In essays and a TED Talk, she positioned herself not as the tabloid caricature of the ‘90s, but as an early casualty of online shaming. She called herself “patient zero,” staking a claim to her narrative.
Water from Your Eyes’ ‘It’s a Beautiful Place’ is a warm, stereophonic embrace from newer indie pop outfit
If you’re looking for the indie genre to be the shapeshifting jewel it was in the ’90s, look no further than the creatives emerging in the 2020s. These past decades functioned as a period of resurgence and re-amplification of some of the most prominent acts of the past. Nirvana and other noise rock groups (Soundgarden, Pearl Jam) piloted punchy guitar tones and lyrically scatterbrained ideas, resulting in abstractions as opposed to the previous, more obvious concept albums. This style seems to be back in fashion with more stitching to the bright, colorful tapestry of what was so widely sought after in the ’90s.
