The collapse of time and domestic memory: Annie Ernaux’s “The Super 8 Years”

“The Super 8 Years” — directed by Annie Ernaux, French writer and winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature — records her domestic life from 1972 to 1981.

I was going to wait until the end of the semester, when I could have my dad help me pump it. Thankfully, a friend showed me how. It took all of 30 seconds per tire.

When you accidentally read an anti-transgender court document

Last May, more than 20 conservative states filed an amicus brief against the inclusion of gender-affirming care for transgender people under the North Carolina State Health Plan in the court case Kadel v.

With No. 3 Duke and No. 1 Notre Dame cruising into their highly anticipated matchup with minimal losses on their schedule, the sold-out stage at Koskinen Stadium was set for a clash of giants. The game marked the first meeting between the two teams since they met in the 2023 national championship game, and a sour taste still lingered in the Blue Devils’ mouths from a title that slipped away. In many ways, the meeting represented much more than just a top-three ranked conference matchup.
