Politics: A penalty for sports?
Throughout history, sports and politics have often been two sides of the same coin. There's always a winner and always a loser. But is it a game that can always be played safely?

The way we talk about weather is outdated
The recent heatwaves across the continent have made it clear that the climate emergency does not care about denialism. Major long-term changes are urgently needed, but there is one thing that we can change straight away: the way we present weather forecasts.

The problematic case of defining the female body
Defining and categorizing are essential to human life. By defining something, we thus give meaning to a specific object or manner and categorize them. By categorizing, ideas are recognized, differentiated and can be understood more easily.

'Kate Bush, how dare you cover Placebo?!'
That was going through my young and ignorant mind when I heard Kate Bush's "Running up That Hill" for the first time on the speakers of a department store many years ago.

Not everything is up for debate
Whether it's abortion or trans rights: Time and time again, people are forced to defend their basic human rights. It is high time to draw a line and make it clear that not everything is up for debate.

In light of the recent events in the United States, a new TikTok trend has emerged that once more highlights the solidarity and support the female population has shown since the federal abortion rights have been revoked in the US.

Queer people are not the only ones to lose on homophobia
Do you think homophobia only affects queer people because it's directed at them? Maybe think again because homophobia is everyone's problem - including straight people.

Young queer people are under-represented in Luxembourg
As you may know, a space for queer people does not exist in Luxembourg. And I don’t only mean clubs and bars, there is literally no space for us to hang out, meet each other, exchange experiences.

Queer people don’t owe you an explanation
Queer people are often expected to share their journey with others. But just because we're not straight doesn't mean we have to explain ourselves. It's good to remember this can be a sensitive subject.

Here's why we definitely need more diverse reading lists in schools
Calls for more diversity in the selection of mandatory readings in schools have led to the expected wave of ridicule and anger in various online comments sections. But the idea is anything but trivial.

Fine dining – a recipe for happy tongues and crying wallets?
The fine dining experience often stands accused of presenting tiny dishes at exorbitant prices, but is it really true that you get more for your money's worth if you opt to go to your local neighbourhood restaurant rather than a Michelin-starred establishment?

An oversupply of awareness may devalue the world's issues
Even though it may at times be challenging to keep up with current affairs and the most pressing issues of our times, there is little risk of ever forgetting that there is always reason to worry about, well, pretty much anything.

Is this the inevitably unsatisfying end to covid?
After just over two years of masks, restrictions, vaccines, covid passes, test requirements, lockdowns, and various sanitary measures… the end, if this is indeed it, feels somewhat.. lacking.

Culture should always be free and accessible to anyone
As Luxembourg is set to become the first country to provide free public music lessons to children, it's a good time to reflect on why cultural education is so essential and why it should generally be available for free.

Why the 2022 World Cup might become football's most shameful event
After the Winter Olympics in China, sports fans can look forward to another tournament organised by a highly questionable host this year. And the 2022 Football World Cup might just become one of the worst sporting events of all time.

This Earth Day, let's honour the planet with our actions
Friday is Earth Day and while in my opinion, every day should be a day where we try and do something for Mother Nature, I understand that not everyone feels this way. In celebration of this international and global (get it) holiday, let’s get serious about how we are at a pivotal point for Earth’s future.

The planet that never sleeps, but occasionally should
As someone who always has to be mindful of not disturbing neighbours with excessively loud music, it often puzzles me how we have become so accustomed to minimising our noise levels and yet rarely lose a single thought to light pollution.

The quarter-life crisis: It's real and it's a problem
Your twenties are supposed to be among the highlights of your life: Combining the increased freedom of adulthood with the resilience and fitness of a still youthful body, you are supposed to be on top of the world. However, for many, the reality is quite a bit bleaker.

We need to calm down about language
For people who like to present themselves as "guardians" of the spoken and written word, language is constantly under threat and must be defended from people trying to "destroy" it. Their pedantry is proof that they actually know very little about language.

Why I'm never going back to 'The Greatest Nation on Earth'
Growing up in Southern California, I always sort of knew I would one day leave. For as long as I could remember, it had always been my dream to study in Europe. My mother is German and my father is American, so I have grown up with 2 passports and one foot in each of the respective cultures.
