As I sit here at my desk, clad in what I like to call my Zoom mullet (business on the top, party on the bottom), I find that my stomach is in knots. It could be that the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew I recklessly tried this morning at Starbucks is finally hitting, but more likely, it’s interview nerves.

We all know that social media is inherently performative. I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve “done it for the ‘gram” before, focusing more on curating the way I am perceived than living out experiences in full. However, as I scrolled through my feed this week, I was hit by the realization that this culture of performativity isn’t necessarily all bad.

When the Carrboro Town Council adopted its Community Climate Action Plan in 2017, it promised to emphasize integrating climate action with social justice and equity initiatives.

Franklin Street today is home to a diverse array of pizza restaurants, boba spots and places offering every food variety in between.

The other day, I went to a networking event for an internship program that was recruiting on campus. I spoke to one recruiter in particular and sparks were flying — in a strictly professional sense, of course. We talked for almost an hour, connecting over shared career interests and experiences. But as I was leaving, she imparted some haunting words: “Follow me on Twitter!” she said. “I’ll follow back.”

The near-union of Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande wasn’t good for me. As a fan of both celebrities individually, their sudden and unexpected fairytale romance shocked me, at first, and then consumed me. I didn’t just double-tap their sweet, mutually-affectionate Instagram posts and move on with my life (as I very well should have), but I once caught myself watching a six-minute Youtube compilation of the couple’s “cutest moments.” Spoiler alert: VERY cute.

Last week, a man shouting anti-semitic slurs opened fire at a Pittsburgh synagogue, killing 11 individuals and wounding six. As an American, I am repulsed by the recent rise in anti-Jewish sentiment that has plagued the nation, with supremacists empowered by a commander-in-chief who refuses to publicly denounce anti-semitism (and racism, and white supremacy — but we’ll get to those some other time). As a Muslim, I am similarly repulsed, but my repulsion is accompanied by an odd twinge of familiarity. In a recent piece in the New York Times, rabbis were asked how their congregants reacted to the massacre. One particular line struck me the hardest; in reference to younger congregants, a rabbi reported that "they don't understand why people hate Jewish people."
