…Pollinator populations across the country have been experiencing significant losses, threatening biodiversity, agriculture and food chains. The state of Michigan alone has seen a 61% drop in its bee population over the span of 15 years. A team of masters students at the University of Michigan’s School for Environment and Sustainability is aiming to raise awareness for pollinator conservation and enhance pollinato...…

…Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed a bill expanding rights and protections for LGBTQ+ Michiganders Thursday afternoon. The Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act of 1976 prohibits discrimination based on religion, race, color, national origin, age, sex, height, weight, familial status or marital status. The bill expands this list to include sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression. In a press release obtained by...…

…At a certain point in 2019, internet users in both the drama-filled DeuxMoi and the aspirational New York City- esque digital spheres were once again pulled towards Caroline Calloway. She has lived through multiple digital selves and has survived multiple news cycles of hatred and ridicule over the past decade. The Cambridge blogger- turned-scammer is now best known for her confessional, often chaotic Instagram presence — but ...…

…The conversation surround- ing the future of Artificial Intelligence weighs heavily on the possibility of artificial life becoming a sentient threat to the human race. Steven Spiel- berg’s (“The Fabelmans”) “A.I. Artificial Intelligence” chang- es the tone of this conversation and turns a mirror to man- kind, a reminder that humans are solely responsible for what they bring into the world. “A.I.” opens on a catastroph- ic picture. S...…

…It’s midnight on a Friday, and I stumble home after an hour at an incredibly lame Pride Night. Me and my homegirls tried to season the function, but not even we can shake ass to pop girly remixes under oontz oontz beats. We have to get this white man off aux. How did not a single Beyoncé song get spun? Was Nicki busy that night? I understand Rihanna has pissed us all off with the lack of an album drop, but not even “Umbrella” made...…

…On Tuesday, March 7, University President Santa Ono gave his inaugural address to the University of Michigan. In it, he focused on setting an optimistic tone for his term, outlining his plans for DEI 2.0, achieving carbon neutrality and restoring the health of the U-M community. Through these bold ideas, he successfully energized students and professors, ushering in a new era of leadership. While the plans he discussed repr...…

…W ithout a doubt, I’m an optimist. From arguing in favor of the Bursley-Baits bus to arguing for an explicit expansion of our vocabulary, I try my best to see the light in every situation. But the silver lining is often elusive, and sometimes involves extensive searching. This search, in and of itself, is an art. Unlike most arts, though, optimism has a unique faculty and disposition toward improving all that it touches. While...…

…A nn Arbor’s tallest building is the aptly named Tower Plaza Condominium. Standing at around 300 feet tall, the building was controversial from its first proposal. City Council moved rapidly to enact an 18-story height limit, but Tower Plaza came in right under the wire before that ordinance change was passed. The first time Ann Arbor opposed a tower for being “too tall” was in 1929. The original proposal for the beaut...…

…In loss to LSU, Michigan shows that it’s a program in progress JACK CONLIN Daily Sports Writer BATON ROUGE, La. — At first glance, there’s not much to take away from a brutal loss like the one that the No. 6 seed Michigan women’s basketball team suffered on Sunday. In its 66-42 season-ending thwacking at the hands of No. 3 seed LSU, the Wolverines failed to exe- cute a cohesive gameplan from start to finish, managing just 15 fir...…

…BATON ROUGE, La. — In a packed Pete Maravich Assem- bly Center, the scenes at the two benches couldn’t have been more different. One by one, the Michi- gan women’s basketball team’s seniors checked out of their final game, tearing up and embracing each other and their coaches. Yet just a few feet over and throughout the stands, there were palpable waves of excite- ment, waves that had been building since the first quarter. Because No...…

…Origins, when we manage to unearth them, seldom clarify the cobbled nature of the pres- ent. Instead, they often string us along a path of imagined priori- ties, allowing us to feel qualified in recognizing how the past must inform our current agendas.

…I showed up to the newsroom for our 9:00 a.m. departure to Port Huron with nothing more than my phone, wallet, a pen and a singular piece of paper folded in my coat pocket.

…Ann Arbor is a small, Mid- western metropolis, home to many families, faculty and students stretching from near and far. It is a city comprised of almost all loyal Wolverines dedicated to the act of rambunctious tailgating for foot- ball games, avidly shopping for fresh sourdough bread and vibrant produce at the Kerrytown farm- er’s market while inhaling a #48 Binny’s Brooklyn Reuben from Zingerman’s. Its citizens often participate ...…

…Wednesday, March 22, 2023 // The Statement — 7 The air looks different, al- most imperceptibly, like the edges of colors have changed. The sky seems more vivid, trees warmer, taller. Is that possible? The build- ings seem to shimmer with red halations — but not a western, lust- ful, aggressive red. It’s a Chinese, happy, fortunate red. My uncle picks both me and my father up from the Běijěng Capital International Airport. Both of us...…

…There were 3,000 people standing side-by-side across the Diag on the University of Michigan’s campus Wednesday night. U-M students and community members gathered together in silence to mourn the mass shooting that took place on the Michigan State University’s campus Monday night which led to the death of three MSU students: Brian Fraser, Alexandria Verner and Arielle Anderson. The U-M Central Student Government organized the vi...…

…When Ann Arbor resident Anne Hiller first moved to ‘Tree City’ from the San Francisco Bay Area in 2004, she was looking forward to settling in the Wildwood Park subdivision, a scenic suburban neighborhood surrounded by nature on the city’s west side. Before she was about to close the deal on her house, however, Hiller noticed that her deed contained an archaic clause — a racially restrictive covenant that read “No portion of the...…

…4 — Wednesday, February 22, 2023 Arts The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Dear Pinterest, I still remember the day that you and I first met. I couldn’t have been more than 12 years old. My aunt had told me all about you — “It’s like an online bulletin board,” she described — and showed me around her own profile. I had never seen so many pictures, appropriately dubbed “pins,” in one place before. I could save these pins to a board...…

…My friends have told me I don’t seem like I’m from Michigan. I was born and raised in a quiet town on Lake Michigan and both of my parents are natives of the western side of the state. I’m not sure what it even means to “seem like” I’m from Michigan, but there are a few things about me that are distinctly Midwestern. The most obvious tell is how I say certain words. Bagel is baahg-el not bay-gul. Milk is melk. Bag, like bagel, als...…

…Hair pulled up in a haphazard ponytail, I tightened the drawstrings on my pink pullover and trekked through the wind up the stairs to the North Quad dining hall. Stomped, was more like it. I’d forgotten my headphones, and in no world was I walking back through this tumultuous wind on an empty stomach. Without my dining hall playlist, I had to provide myself with some sort of entertainment while eating 20 minutes away from my do...…

…Michigan in Color 8 — Wednesday, February 22, 2023 How to love Alas, the (socially constructed) season of love is here. I always ques- tion what love is and how to practice it. The conceptualization of love as a verb, instead of just a noun, is promi- nent in our everyday language. This is because love is an all-encompass- ing concept. Like many, my first experiences with love came from family. It was at home that I learned to differe...…

…J ust this week, a horrific mass shooting at Michigan State University shocked the nation and rocked our campus, as many have friends and relatives attending the nearby university. Its close proximity and the hours- long “shelter-in-place” order had many feeling anxious, confused and angry.

…This review contains spoilers for “Downton Abbey: A New Era.” I watched “Downton Abbey” for the first time during the summer of 2020. It was the summer after my freshman year of college and we had all just been sent home from the University of Michigan due to the COVID- 19 pandemic. My mom and I were sitting in the basement one night, as we did most nights during those six months of isolation, looking for something to watch...…

…Reading between the lines Each night at 7:45 p.m. (my unwilling and adult-dictated bedtime) my mom would read my favorite book to coax my 4-year-old brain to sleep. Red and blue fish circled my head and matching letters swirled around as she read … “Did you ever fly a kite in bed? Did you ever walk with ten cats on your head? Did you ever milk this kind of cow? Well, we can do it. We know how. If you never did, you should. These ...…

…Growing up as a latchkey kid, I’d often squirm my way out of revealing where I lived to others. Instead, I’d lie. I’d tell friends I already had a ride or that it was no big deal for me to walk back home. I’d do or say anything to obfuscate details of where I lived and divert people away from seeing my dilapidated house. The faded blue paint that coated the wooden panels was slowly chipping away, just like my self-esteem. Needless ...…

…A s a young and impressionable child, the concept of gender and what it meant to be a “proper” girl were enshrined into seemingly every fabric of the world that surrounded me. When I visited Target to spend my carefully accrued Tooth Fairy money, the segregated blue and pink aisles quickly indicated which section I should browse. The girls section was filled with gendered stereotypes to carefully cultivate a new generation o...…
