Who is to say what constitutes love? There are all types of love in the world. Love for your fellow human, romantic love, love of a pet, love of food or certain flavors, etc. that others can't necessarily understand. Currently, all over the world, love is under attack because some feel it is immoral to have same-sex love (both phy... Read More

In 1996, gamers worldwide were introduced to Lara Croft in the video game Tomb Raider. Described as "Indiana Jones with breasts", she became an instant hit with the heavily male based demographic.

In 1994, the world watched as one of the biggest sports scandals unfolded before our eyes.

In 1962, American Writer Madeleine L'Engle published the novel, A Wrinkle in Time.

The Dark Crystal

(Maureen Buccellato) 3/6/2018 9:20 AM EDT
Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal was released in 1982 and became a staple of many 1980's kids' film experiences. The film, while geared towards children, wasn't a typical fluff piece that the 1980s family/children film genre can be guilty of. Through it, we were introduced to a whole new world of characters that have endured in our hea... Read More

Lady Bird

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/5/2018 1:59 PM EDT
Teenage girls can be a handful. Considering I used to be one and have two of my own now, I can attest to this statement. Emotions run high and physical bodily changes make things awkward and downright hostile sometimes. Teenagers in general (boys and girls) want more independence and challenge their parents constantly while naviga... Read More
