“For a moment the image before us is frozen: our world, our lives, reduced to a handful broken stars half lost in uncharted space. Then it’s gone, the view swallowed by the hyperspace winds streaming past, blue-green auroras wiping the after-images away.


Until all that’s left is us” (—These Broken Stars)



THIS IS FANTASTIC.

There are a million places to go for inspiration, and one of the most fun is other media, like television shows! We asked Leaguers what Fall TV shows they are most looking to watching and why. Take a look— you just might find a great new show, or a incredible source of your own inspiration.

Meagan Spooner:

I’m looking forward to Galavant, the musical comedy fairy tale show coming out this fall from ABC. It looks like a crazy mix of Spamalot and Once Upon a Time, an...

Hello, marvelous creatures. This is the big news we were waiting on announcing today—I’m going on my first solo tour. YOU WILL BE INUNDATED WITH LEIGH. Please make all due preparations.

Columbia student will carry her mattress until her rapist exits school
September 2, 2014


While most students at Columbia University will spend the first day of classes carrying backpacks and books, Emma Sulkowicz will start her semester on Tuesday with a far heavier burden. The senior plans on carrying an extra-long, twin-size mattress across the quad and through eachNew YorkCity building – to every class, every day – until the man she says raped her moves off campus.
