Virginterviews

Looking for a place to start this article and overwhelmed by the weight of the subject matter before me, I do a quick experiment and type “virginity” into Google; I’m curious to see the most popular searches. “Virginity statistics, virginity auction, virginity quotes, virginity pledge” reads the list.

Portraying A Town

If you’ve been on Facebook recently, you may have at some point stumbled across the page called Humans of New York. The page is insanely popular, with 1,424,016 likes and thousands of comments and shares on each post.

Priya Please Teach

TV killed the radio star, Netflix killed the TV star, and all that’s left for us is Twitter. That’s fine though, if all we have is @priya_ebooks.
