I got the meditation app, “Headspace,” about a week into quarantine. I figured I might as well try out a new hobby, as I felt like I needed to somehow be productive with all this spare time. Ugh, typical neoliberal capitalist mindset always trying to be productive, am I right? Anyways, the disembodied yet approachable […]
A Lullaby of Wisdom The Song of Deborah told through voices, hands, and visions By KatieRose Kimball A Song of Warning The Gate And so Wisdom said: A woman sat beneath a tree between cities. She was known by many names. Some called her mother, some called her prophetess, and some called her Deborah. She
Growing up, I have always associated summertime with happiness- summer breaks, hanging out with friends, family vacations, and my favorite orange-flavored fizzy drink back home… But this summer is quite different, and it seems like it has been filled with uncertainty, disappointment, and apprehension. We are nowhere near that sense of normalcy, but I want

To adult, or not to adult? Not, agreed the teenaged leaders of the Never Again movement following the Parkland shooting on Valentine’s Day in 2018. After 17 people were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, survivors stepped up to demand action as the adults in charge had failed to prevent the most recent of
We at The Bucket have decided to start a weekly list-of-new-music series titled “The Bucket List.” We’ve attempted to compile relatively- and less-well-known releases by important and impressive artists. This is going to be a weekly thing but the format might change a bit in the meantime (may shorten it, may just list individual songs

Pure poetry if nothing else, the songwriting on Hozier’s sophomore album, Wasteland, Baby! Is raw and honest. Each song is a different picture painted with passionate lyrics exploring dualities in life: love and death, joy and sadness; as well as other heavy, yet exciting themes like mystery and despair. Unique rhythms, decorative guitar, and grounding

She’s no stranger to leaks of her work, so when Chromatica’s lead single “Stupid Love” leaked in January 2020, Lady Gaga’s fans were shocked to say the least. When people hear Gaga’s name, they understand that her role as an artist is polarizing. The supporters embrace Lady Gaga’s outsider-turned-pop star stories that reconcile with her personal

My happenstance living conditions have worsened the usual tensions with family. Perhaps nowhere is this more clear than in the classic discussions of political liberalism that Carleton families often have. My parents are
