In “Venus in the Sea,” the blushing lead single from Ha Vay’s 2023 EP Avalanches and Unfamiliar Ways to Die, the singer-songwriter wails “enraptured in the bluest dark, I captured your beating heart.” Just over a year later on her debut album Baby I’m The Wolf (2024), Ha Vay enraptures us all over again. Here, Ha Vay plucks Venus out of the sea and drops her into the bleeding heart of the forest, extending a hand to us so that we may follow her down the rabbit hole.

For a show called So You Think You Can Dance, the first few episodes of the latest season don’t feature very much of it. Unfortunately, the lack of dance content is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the issues present in the 18th season of the reality show. After a two year hiatus and a rebrand, So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD), a dance competition show that first aired back in 2005, returned for its 18th season in March.

I’ve always loved a good road trip, and what better reason for an outing than book research? As a kid, one of my favorite class field trips involved going to San Francisco and visiting the fortune cookie factory there. When I started writing the Magical Fortune Cookie series, I knew it was time for a return visit. Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory is located in San Francisco’s historic Chinatown and tucked inside Ross Alley. The place is family-run and celebrated its sixtieth anniversary in 2022.

Emily Dickinson said it best: “There is no Frigate like a Book / To take us Lands away.” Diving into a good novel allows you to immerse yourself in another world entirely—hopefully, one more magical than your own. For the same reason, book-to-screen adaptations are plentiful. After all, who wouldn’t want to re-experience their favorite story, cast and filmed just as they imagined it? But a live adaptation is also a double-edged sword.

Almost as notorious as Taylor Swift herself are her Swifties. To a degree nearly unparalleled by any other contemporary popstar, Swift has amassed a massive, fiercely dedicated fan contingent, many of whom (these writers included!) have considered themselves Swifties for well over a decade. As Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour has highlighted, the singer has gone through countless reinventions, from changes in musical genre and aesthetics to an ever-evolving public image.

The boys are back. On March 24, Fall Out Boy released their eighth studio album So Much (For) Stardust, making their long-awaited comeback. Many feared that after their last album M A N I A (2018), the band had lost their touch when they strayed too far from their classic emo sound with this poorly received experimental pop/electropop album—luckily, this new album is a return to their pop-punk days.
