I remember sitting in a psychiatrist’s office when I was seven. The fluorescent lights were bugging me. Not just because they strained my eyes–I could hear the buzzing when nobody else could. I was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, given a lollipop and sent home...
On my internet feeds, there’s been a lot of controversy around the show Hazbin Hotel. The show follows the devil’s daughter as she tries to set up a place for sinners to redeem their souls. While the premise itself has people talking, the fourth episode, Masquerade,...
