Cartoon: Twitter Controversy Over ‘Libs of TikTok’ Article

On Tues. April 19th, Washington Post columnist Taylor Lorenz published an article exposing the creator of the Libs of TikTok, an account that promotes anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments and influences right-wing media and anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, rubbing many conservatives the wrong way. Many relayed their issues with revealing the creator’s name on Twitter, considering the act as doxing, which is spreading an individual’s personal information with malicious intent. Yet, the article’s primary purpose was to inform people of the negative impact it has had on laws and right-wing media. (Sophia Sunbury)

Aryna Sabalenka, a world renowned tennis player who deftly hit her way into the second week of the French open, refused to attend the post-match press conference for mental health reasons. This draws a parallel between Naomi Osakas refusal to attend last year for the same reasons, raising a new question of mental health in athletes. Tournaments should put their athletes health first, instead of pushing through and making mandatory uncomfortable questions.

Millions of people in Mexico have been ordered to evacuate as Mt. Popocatépetl rains ash across the country. 25 million people live in the volcanos vicinity, with it being 45 miles away from the bustling Mexico city. If it erupts, 3 million people living in its shadow could be killed, and for cities like Mexico city, ash fall would damage the health of everyone living there.

Graduation is nearing, and seniors are saying goodbye to Carlmont for the last time. Goodbye to the quad where they pet llamas and ate ice cream, goodbye to the gym where assemblies were held, goodbye to the football stands where they cheered on their team. Its important to make strong memories to hold onto in your high school years: they only come once.
