Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut

This timely and heartwarming story explores the complexities of love, friendship, and family amidst the backdrop of a politically divided nation. Debut author Emily Locker’s YA (young adult) novel, Running Mates, follows Annabelle and Gabe, two teenagers from opposite sides of the political spectrum who find themselves falling in love. As they navigate their budding romance, they must also grapple with the challenges of bridging the political divide that separates their families and their town. "This book is a must-read for anyone who wants a dose of empathy in their summer," raves Parents Magazine, which included "Running Mates" in its 2024 Ultimate Summer Reading List for Teens and Tweens. Regis High School in New York City also recommends the book for summer reading, praising its portrayal of civil discourse and its relevance to today's polarized political climate.

Climate concerns are top of mind, especially with young adults. AmeriCorps, the federal agency for service and volunteering, administers a program for adults ages 18 to 26 to help them take action. AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) is a team-based national service program that engages young adults in 10 to 11-month hands-on service experiences to develop leadership skills and strengthen communities. Forest Corps is a partnership between AmeriCorps NCCC and the United States Forest Service. The program is for young adults passionate about combating the climate crisis and protecting public lands. The first cohort of NCCC Forest Corps members will be sworn in to begin their service in mid-July.  The Forest Corps program is the first major interagency partnership under President Biden’s American Climate Corps (ACC), a new initiative to train young people in high-demand skills for jobs in the clean energy economy.

I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess… Observations 53 and 54 It’s being called the memes debate.  Pictures and short videos that have a way of controlling how you’ll vote.  What is deep rest and how is it being used as a powerful tool for those who suffer with depression?

Given today's cancel culture, here's a look at how Hollywood, of all places, was America's first "woke" system. We look at more than 50 classic films such as Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, East of Eden, The Ten Commandments, Convention City, and Lawrence of Arabia through the eyes and blue pencils of the Production Code Administration, the industry's censors. What emerges is not a gaggle of prudes but a staff with deep knowledge and sensitivity despite their mission to cleanse. Here is a time capsule of American mores and Hollywood's excesses over nearly four decades that led to today's letter rating system. Between 1934 and 1968, no Hollywood studio could make a movie without the permission of and a seal of approval from the Production Code Administration. The Production Code was Hollywood's official censor. Screenplays, books, plays, costumes and even story ideas and songs had to be okayed by the Code before they could be filmed, and the Code monitored every stage of the production process to ensure compliance. The correspondence between the Code and the studios was confidential, and the memos within the Code office itself were even more so. Well, not any more. The Naughty Bits pores through those files to show how the censors did their job. What was the world prevented from seeing in some of the greatest movies ever made, including Stagecoach, Some Like It Hot, Psycho, and His Girl Friday? Here is the sometimes funny, sometimes outrageous, always riveting history of movie censorship on a nitty-gritty level.

In the fall of 2021, 19-year-old Daniel Santulli pledged Phi Gamma Delta at the University of Missouri. During a brutal pledge process, Danny was deprived of sleep, separated from family, and forced to be at the beck and call of his future brothers. On the evening of October 19, Danny and his fellow pledges were summoned to the frat house. Blindfolded, and with a bottle of vodka taped to his hand, Danny was ordered to drink it all. With lethal levels of alcohol coursing through his body, Danny collapsed. He was dumped on a couch and abandoned. Instead of calling an ambulance, the Fiji brothers tried to cover their tracks – driving him to the hospital in the cloak of darkness. The Santulli family would later uncover devastating truths about that fateful night when security camera footage capturing some of the ghastly hazing was uncovered, but their fight for Danny was just beginning.

Each episode features first-hand accounts of how the power, control, and secrecy of fraternities and sororities can create a cult-like dynamic leading to an environment where nefarious activity—from drug use to sexual assault—is able to thrive. Over the course of six episodes, the series details a variety of first-hand accounts of the dark side of fraternity and sorority life at universities across the country.
