…I spent last summer working for a nongovernmental organization in Delhi, India. One weekend I took a day trip to see the Taj Mahal. On the bus back, I struck up a conversation with a fellow traveler — a deceptively young-looking Swiss man. He had spent months traveling throughout Latin America and Asia. Toward the end of the bus ride, he summarized his travels with a comparison. He told me “our” societies in the West are d...…
…Killing off a television character tends to present a strange paradox: A character’s absence can be so deeply felt that it manifests as an unsettling ghost-like presence. This is especially true of a show like “Roseanne”’s successor, “The Conners,” which has not simply lost a character, but the character. It’s true. Roseanne (Roseanne Barr, “The Roseanne Show”) — the dry, divisive, titular materfamilias who started it al...…
…of movies I intend to frequently re-watch. I never took much to e-readers or e-books and like to read front to back a copy of the New Yorker that comes to my door every week (thank you, Grandpa). Before I joined The Daily, I would always pick up a copy on my way up my dorm at the end of the day. Call me old- fashioned, but there’s something about actually having a physical copy of a piece of entertainment or work of literature that...…

…I t was the first chilly night in Ann Arbor since term had started. I was walking down State Street with a friend — the plans of watching a movie on the horizon to escape the stressful realities of our lives. While we were walking, the brisk October air at our heels, we noticed a man coming toward us. I couldn’t tell you what he looked like, and yet this article wouldn’t be possible without his gaze. Face buried in a book, he quic...…
…3B Wednesday, October 24, 2018 // The Statement Navigating campus gyms: Rules that objectify A t the University of Michigan, sexism is often subtle.

…“Y ou’re really cool, man, but I’m looking for a straight roommate.” I wasn’t too surprised. The search for the perfect freshman year roommate was now nearing its fifth month, and this had been the third person I had connected with that had changed their mind about living with me after learning that I was gay. But this one felt different. I thought I had checked off all the boxes. We had maintained a 20-day Snapchat streak, exc...…
