In recent years, fashion trends have shifted rapidly. Towards the end of 2025, a new trend began to spread with full force: extreme thinness. The extremely visible collar bones, low-rise silhouettes and sharp cheekbones have become everyone's desire. But this diet culture has more depth to it than people imagine. Thinness has always been cyclical in the fashion industry. In the 1990s, the dominant aesthetic was the “heroin chic”, which was led by models such as Kate Moss..

Just the other day, I overheard two of my teachers talking about turning themselves into superheroes from Marvel comics. Intrigued by the unusual topic, I continued to listen to one tell the other how, by putting their pictures into ChatGPT, the generator would create an image of them as one of their characters. Much to their disappointment, the app was unable to capture their distinctive features, and the end result turned out so bland that it could represent any other pers

“Your clothes are the most political choice that you make everyday” is a famous quote said by Sage Paul, an award-winning fashion designer and the Artistic Director of Indigenous Fashion Arts. This quote raises the question if fashion and politics are linked, and if fashion is not just about style, but a reflection of values. The truth is that fashion and politics are deeply intertwined. Fashion has always been much more than clothes and trends; it serves as a form of powerfu

We are finally heading into December, so toss out your pumpkins and skeletons and dust off your trees and mistletoes — Christmas season has finally arrived. As we move towards the end of the year, the sound of holiday songs starts to flood the streets, malls start to crowd with eager family members buying gifts, and all products on supermarket shelves get replaced by panettone. Oh, how good it feels to be back to the best time of the year! Holiday spirit has truly started to

This holiday issue could not be complete without the mention of a beautiful event, celebrated by a variety of members of our EABH community: Hanukkah. The word Hanukkah - sometimes spelled Chanukah - means “dedication” in Hebrew. According to the Hebrew calendar, Hanukkah is an eight-day festival celebrated by the Jewish community around November or December. This holiday celebrates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. During the second century BCE, the Sele

In the world, many different cultures celebrate the festive season in unison. Different cultures, however, have their own ways of celebrating this holiday. Here are some countries that have unique customs during the holiday season. In Japan, there is a unique yet fun tradition around the end of the year, and that is to eat fried chicken. This began when the American fast-food giant KFC launched a major campaign to enter the Japanese market during the holiday season. It was s

According to Britannica, the atheist definition of Christmas is “a secular family holiday observed around late December that focuses on traditions … emphasizing themes of generosity and goodwill.” In other words, it is a time to spread love and compassion. However, what if we mistake this time as an excuse for reuniting,ignoring conflicts, and pretending to care? Every year friends and families get together along decorated houses and exchange gifts, acting like everything is

Recently, in December 2023, a law was ratified, making Black Awareness Day an official Brazilian national holiday. November 20th marks one of the most significant dates in the long lasting and resilient fight against oppression experienced by the black community in Brazil. It is celebrated in honor of Zumbi dos Palmares, the leader of Quilombo dos Palmares , a settlement of free and escaped enslaved people in the northwestern region of the country, during the late 1600’s.

Christmas is a celebration of Jesus Christ’s birthday. If that's the case, how does Santa fit into the narrative? Santa Claus is known for being a symbol of Christmas: a cheerful old man with red clothes that brings gifts to children who’ve behaved well throughout the year. However, he has not always been portrayed as such. The name “Santa” comes from Saint Nicholas, a Greek bishop born 280 AD in the region that is now Turkey. Nicholas came from a wealthy family and rece

The teenagers shown in Hollywood are far from realistic. They’re played by adults, written by adults, and designed for adults to watch. Although some of the most popular TV shows are about teenagers, they still aren't accurately portrayed. Shows like Outerbanks , Gossip Girl , or The Summer I Turned Pretty are extremely popular, appealing to both adult and teenage audiences, but they misrepresent teenagers. The widespread lack of representation leads to stereotypes and insec

More than thirty years later, Vale Tudo is back, and it feels like Brazilians have traveled back in time. The remake of the telenovela, aired by Globo since March of 2025, has been captivating both those who watched the original version and those who are discovering it for the first time. It is intriguing, but also remarkable, that a story created in 1988 remains so relevant in 2025. It makes us wonder: Why does a plot about power, ambition, and morality still hold our atten

A mirror waits, Quiet and clear. It shows a face, But never the soul. Shadows may stretch, Lights may face, Yet something true Always remains. Reflections shift, Time moves on, But the heart still holds The story of who we are. It is not about Who we were yesterday, But who we choose To become today.

Just outside Campinas in São Paulo lies Tozan Farm (formerly Fazenda Monte D’Este), a living statement to the intertwined histories of Brazil and Japan. Founded on November 20th, 1798, as a sugarcane plantation by Floriano de Camargo Penteado, the farm later shifted to coffee cultivation during the 19th century. In 1927, Hisaya Iwasaki, the son of Mitsubishi Group's founder, purchased the land. His goal was to create a model farm that would help Japanese immigrants find succ

The last page closes It seemed like a door that wasn't ready to be shut. The words still scream, Still echoing that final sound. A new book waits— Quiet and unfamiliar. Still, I reach for it, Because stories don't end; They resonate. I turn the first page, Not letting go— Just moving forward. Before I realized it, I was in a new era, Different from the one before. Not worse, Just different. And sometimes, Just different is enough.

I wish I could live forever, I wish I had never been born, We all wish for things that are clever, Not knowing the power of what we scorn. I wish for company at all times, I wish to be alone at the end of these lines. It is an interesting pattern of dissatisfaction, But to the things we already have, we don’t feel attraction. Always too blind to notice, Always too proud to admit it— Admit that all of us are too arrogant to appreciate even a little bit, Of what we receive fr
