Catullus 85 Rosalía – Maldición Cap.10: Cordura As evidenced by many of his poems, the Roman poet Catullus is known to have a complex relationship with Lesbia, a fictional character who is widely thought to be Clodia Metelli, one of Catullus’ lovers. Catullus’ poems are strongly believed to reflect the nature of his relationship […]
In light of the chaotic and seemingly impossible upcoming room draw process, The Bucket is republishing Nicole Collins’s May 2019 “Top Ten Room Draw Numbers” article from The Carletonian. Given she wrote it (and that it was clandestinely also published in The Carl the same week), we presume it is not necessarily unethical that we’ve
It’s a typical Wednesday night: taking out the trash has inspired a raccoon-like hunger in me, so I’m pillaging the kitchen for scraps. I’m also listening to “Say Anything (Else)”, a song (by the band Cartel) my friend just enthusiastically texted me about and insisted I listen to. It starts with the crackle of a
“Grabbing onto whatever’s around / For the soaring high or the crushing down” -Elliott Smith, “2:45 AM” His blue body was stiff long before it happened— a slice between bone, no hesitation. The case is cold but to me he’ll always be a sad man in a big house in Echo
Alex Brown occupies a unique and wide-reaching place on social media, in music criticism, and among meme culture writ large. A former college radio show host, Brown also wrote lots for Tiny Mix Tapes before its hiatus. He also runs an (I think hilarious, innovative, post-Boomer) Instagram meme account and plays saxophone for the Asheville,
Calling for Breonna Taylor 7.17.2020 (12-1pm CST) Breonna Taylor, 26, was shot in her home in Louisville, Kentucky on March 13th when three plainclothes police executed a no-knock search warrant while she was sleeping. Her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, has been arrested after he fired on one of the officers in self-defense. Here’s a quote from
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
When I heard that Dr. Larry Nassar had sexually assaulted 500 gymnasts, including olympic gold medalists Aly Raisman and Simone Biles, I was sad but not surprised. As a former competitive gymnast myself, I know firsthand how the sports breeds abuse. I didn’t even fully realize I had been a victim until an article came
It was slow and subtle We didn’t even notice Like a shadow cast over everything we know A single language took over It is power, they said So I wore the crown But at my coronation, It got stuck on my head forever Now I am a stranger in my own land Queen of no
Hi, this is Yumo. I’m writing articles hoping to talk about films from different countries around the world. I hope after reading this, you will want to take a look at the movie or give me some feedback. But it’s totally fine if you decide to close this halfway… For this first article, I decided
Living at home under quarantine for the past fifteen weeks has roused in me sensations with which I suspect many can relate. 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
