Barbie still transfixes me. When I look at dolls with children, they may prefer Monster High or LoL dolls, but I get a look at what is going on with Barbie in those minutes before I buy the inferior doll requested by the child I am shopping with. Is this child transfixed by the monster high doll? Yes. I watch her brush her hair and perch the doll on her night stand.
Having been employed in customer service for roughly a third of my life, I feel as though I’m accustomed to the little acts of phoniness that come with the line of work. I can put on a cheery affectation with exaggerated inflections to feign abundant enthusiasm for new products. I can maintain a bright-eyed yet gentle smile while a 74 year old woman berates me about how shitty our app is. When an item doesn’t scan and the customer asks if that means it’s free, I can even conjure a chuckle.In short, I know how to wear the mask.
After Arthur's Summer Staycation, we're back and better than ever. With co-editors Abbigale and Evan steering this beloved ship, goddess only knows what they'll get up to! As Volume 59's debut to the wonderful world of campus media, we've packed it full of hot takes, breaking news, a tour around Trent's Symons rather inaccessible campus, and fun and games for all, we have something for everyone in here. But don't take our word for it, see for yourself! Plus, the editors make a new grand introduction to the newly formed duo, and a beginner's guide to all things Arthur and Trent.
Alfred is back and worse than ever. Arthur's problematic sibling is reared up from the abyss after a year in isolation. The editors are not liable for any psychic damage you may incur. Read at your own risk; Reader discretion is advised.
Issue 2 takes on the dichotomy that is Head of The Trent with two long-form articles discussing the impacts on the community from the perspective of Indigenous students and staff and a rollicking piece about the forgotten raison d'être for the whole event which fell on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Evan Robins debuts the first two parts of a series on Peter Robinson College 20 years after its sale. All this alongside community, City Hall, and campus news from the TCSA.
Happy Tortured Poets Department release day to all who celebrate! Having listened to all two hours of the extended "Anthology" edition of this most recent emission from the Queen of jet-setting herself the editors get down and dirty in the lyrical content of the album.
