PrettyLittleThing was once the face of fast fashion’s glitzy, in-your-face appeal, known for bodycon dresses, flashy patterns, cut-out tops and influencer endorsements –– particularly from the cast of “Love Island.” The brand represented a carefree, fun aesthetic focused on quick, trendy styles at rock-bottom prices.
If you’ve ever had the urge to respond to the absurdities of your reality with complete carnage, “Victorian Psycho” by Virginia Feito is the perfect book for you. Even if your impulses are less than violent, the elegantly written prose and intriguing psyche of protagonist Winifred Notty will leave you craving to see her world in all its inglorious depravity. The novel follows Miss Notty beginning her service as a governess at Ensor House. While tutoring the two spoiled Pounds children, Drusilla and Andrew, and tolerating the abuses of Mr. and Mrs. Pounds, she finds it progressively more difficult to contain her inner darkness, which she occasionally refers to as “Fred.” Readers be warned, this novel is not for the faint of heart. The first chapter explains that “in three months everyone in this house will be dead.” At just over 200 pages, the book rapidly uncovers Miss Notty’s sordid past while guiding readers through a vortex of sex, gore and malice before leading to the ultimate conclusion. Although the extreme violence feels overwhelming at times, Feito’s playful writing transforms the shocking carnage into an amusing catharsis rather than a tragedy.

A campus bar is a staple of any university — a special place where students can celebrate a big game, grab a beer with an advisor or put their karaoke skills on full display. At Tufts, the MacPhie Pub was once a thriving part of campus life. Following its inception in the ’70s, the pub staged musical performances, organized special comedy acts and hosted trivia nights. While most of the acts were led by Tufts students, the venue occasionally featured outside performances including shows from Tufts alum Tracy Chapman (J’86), who played at the pub for “$5 and a free meal.”
Tufts ice hockey battled through the conference tournament, beating Bowdoin in a thrilling overtime and routing Colby 6–2 to earn a spot in the NESCAC championship game against Hamilton in Clinton, N.Y. In the semifinal matchup against the Colby Mules, the Jumbos kicked things into high gear offensively, exploding for four goals in the third period to eliminate the No. 3 seed team and advance to the conference final. While the score may not make it evident, the Jumbos actually came from behind against the Mules, facing a 1–0 deficit early before tying the score about halfway through the first and taking a 2–1 lead before the first intermission. Though Colby responded in the second by evening things up at 2–2, Tufts put on a show in the game’s final frame, taking a 3–2 lead only 14 seconds into the third period that just kept expanding, topped off by junior forward Brendan Fennell’s empty-net goal. The 6–2 win sent Tufts to face the No. 1 seeded hosts Hamilton in the title game.
A presidential memorandum signed by President Donald Trump on Jan. 20 suspended the leasing and permitting of federal spaces for offshore wind development, rattling faculty and students in Tufts’ offshore wind energy engineering programs at the graduate level.
The Medford City Council Committee of the Whole approved updates to the City Charter on March 4, sending the new charter to a final vote. The updates include a highly-debated district-based council composition plan, setting it up to be sent to the state legislature for final authorization.
Even though Arlington borders Somerville, surprisingly few Tufts students visit — but it’s a great place to check out for a change of pace from the usual spots in Medford, Somerville and Cambridge. Arlington Center, just 2 miles from campus, offers great attractions and fantastic food. It’s easy to get there by the 80 bus, which picks up along College Avenue and in front of the Tsungming Tu Complex. You can also walk there in about 40 minutes or enjoy a 15-minute scenic bike ride. Arlington Center is definitely worth the visit, especially as the weather warms up!
Tufts boasts 97 master’s programs, one of which is the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice Leadership program. Darwin Conner, a 2022 graduate of the program, is now the chief diversity, equity & inclusion officer for the U.S. branch of the law firm Eversheds Sutherland. Conner shared how he arrived at Tufts, what he learned from the DEIJ-L program, what his current work entails and how people in his field can educate others on DEI, which is currently a contentious topic in the United States.
After taking home second place in the annual NESCAC tournament, falling to Trinity College, the men’s and women’s squash teams worked hard going into the final tournament of their season — nationals — which would be the ultimate test of their strength. The three days at the Arlen Specter US Squash Center in Philadelphia, Pa. would define the Jumbos’ spot in the rankings. Only the top 12 teams in the country qualify for the best division of the national tournament, and this was the team’s second consecutive year making it there as the men came in ranked No. 12 and the women at No. 11. Both teams hoped to break the top 10 by beating some of the most competitive teams in the country, but they fell just shy and will have to work extra hard to come back next year to earn their place.

We are breaching no jacket weather, the snow has melted and it’s finally getting dark later than 6 p.m. You know what that means? Getting a Sink drink and sitting on Prez Lawn for hours when you should be studying for midterms. At least that’s what I’m doing as I review this week’s Sink-nature drink: Girl Grass.
Sometimes, all you need to make an engaging movie is ninety minutes, an interesting concept and a power couple. “Black Bag” (2025), thankfully, has all three.
