Who is Sleep Token? Sleep Token on paper is a metal band, but if you listen to even a single one of their songs, you realize that “metal” doesn’t really cover it. The band is its very own genre, pulling from rock, metal, techno, classical and even rap from time to time!  The band started off in 2016 and self-published their first EP simply titled One. The small album contains three songs, with “Thread the Needle” releasing prior to the rest of the EP. They signed with Basick Record for their second EP, Two, also containing three songs in 2017.…

1933, a library burnt. A library about me. All the knowledge about me, Gone into fumes. I turn into ashes in the mind of the world, A pest to eliminate, The idea of an idiot, A f*ggot who has lost his mind, The kind we send in the slaughterhouses, A pink triangle. And just like that, The world can forget about us. 1933, my history destroyed in slaughterhouses; The world forgets. 1945, the world promises not to forget. The slaughterhouses are closed for good, Finally f*aggots and I can breathe freely, Without fear of existing. The world promises this is…

I hope you and the family are doing well—Mom, Dad, Adrien, Yvan, Michel, my uncles, my aunties, my grandparents, and all my other relatives. Today, I’m writing this letter to you, my friend. In this letter, I’ll lay out my struggles and the goals I want to achieve before 2031 (for my twenty-fifth birthday—hahaha, you already know). I’ll read this letter again in 2027 to track my progress. Trêve de mondanités—let’s get straight to it. As of April 2nd, I’m in my fourth semester at St-Lawrence in the social science program, with just one semester left before university. However, I…

First she came, the eldest of the three, The Queen of Valrane, akin to Leto as she reign, Soon she fell ill, leaving her brothers to take her place And passed before it reached midday. . Then came the eldest of twin brothers, Akin to Artemis, despising their other half And became King to spite their twin, Caring little of their people's opinion. . As time went, the middle grew corrupt, An illness on their soul from childhood, Growing without any way to be stopped And left them to die while they stood. . They knew that they would pass,…

Spoiler ahead for I Saw The TV Glow, a 2024 transgender horror movie. Media Representation It is no secret that queer—and more particularly transgender people—are underrepresented in the cinematographic media, and are quite often casted away and turned into a joke for the uneducated audience to laugh at. From movies like Ace Ventura or Scary Movie to TV shows like Big Bang Theory or South Park, representations of “men pretending to be women” has been a classical comedy trope that has presented and used, attacking the existence of trans people in general. There have been productions presenting trans and other…

I am the moon and you are the sun. I always follow, yet I never stay. I leave, yet I always wait. I linger in your shadow, desiring a pause of your gaze, but you see others before me. Every day is a sorrow, scars reflecting my pain, the lights fading away. My size increasingly decreasing in your heart’s expanding, how could I stop? Is it bad to want love, dear? With time, will you forget me? I wish not to exist, cease this unbearable pain. I am lost in delusions, visions of you and me. You never let others…
