THOMAS: Among us is a fun video game you can play with your friends. As a crew mate the objective of the game is to complete tasks while simultaneously figuring out who the impostor is. As the impostor your goal is to eliminate as many of your friends before getting caught. This game is super fun and I would recommend playing it with your friends if you haven't already!
This album is considered Mac Miller’s most impactful album of his career and is definitely one of my favourites at the moment. It was even nominated for Best Rap Album at the 2019 Grammy Awards. My favourite song is 2009. Some honorable mentions would be Self Care, Ladders, and Wings. I would recommend this for students older than grade 8.
KIRAN: The Trial of the Chicago 7 is a GREAT MOVIE!! It follows a case in the US that took place after the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Seven of the anti-war protesters were charged with conspiracy, inciting riot, and more. The movie is quite well done, and dives into each character in their experience with the trial. I would definitely watch with your family, or friends! It initiates in depth and meaningful conversations about politics and human rights.
AYSHA: The Adventure Zone is a Dungeons and Dragons actual play podcast starring three brothers and their dad! Very welcoming to people who haven’t played d&d before (they haven't either :0), it's very comedic but they start to take it a bit more seriously as it continues and it grows into an epic story! I recommend starting with the Balance arc. You will probably cry. Also, LGBT rep!!
KADEN: Look, I understand this is Korean pop, but great music exists outside of the languages we usually speak. BTS made me realize that we often establish expectations of what music should sound like and reject things that we don’t understand. You should give BTS a try because their lyrics and music relate to powerful themes that pertain to the youth, such as self-appreciation and social expectations. Also, K-pop is something fun to learn about — a new culture! Jungkook is my bias :3 Some songs to try: Love Maze, My Time, 00:00, FAKE LOVE, Your eyes tell, I’m Fine
