Beware of TikTok's health myths

OPINION: TikTok is obsessed with trendy diets and health advice, and while wellness is not a bad thing, the platform takes it too far. Medical advice should only come from a professional. TikTok is an entertainment platform, not a doctorโ€™s office.

Itโ€™s 2024, not 1864: Protect abortion rights

OPINION: The Arizona Supreme Court is pushing for a 160-year-old abortion law, and it is suppressing women's rights. It takes women back to a time of no rights and risks the health and lives of women by taking away bodily autonomy and the personal right to choose.

OPINION Point-Counterpoint:

Healing through bed rotting

Bed rotting isnโ€™t about neglecting responsibilities. It's about prioritizing mental well-being and valuing moments of rest. By embracing a state of just being, people can relax their minds and be more productive later.

โ€œBed rottingโ€ is not self care

TikTokโ€™s latest trend, bed rotting, is a serious issue for many young people. By confusing lying in bed all day with self-care, social media is covering the self-destructive concept in rose-colored comforters.

CGI undermines movie magic

OPINION: An excess of computer-generated imagery (CGI) often decreases the realism of a movie. Instead of viewing CGI as the only tool to create visual effects, filmmakers can balance digital with practical effects to create more immersive films.
