Pumpkin Spice Lattes = Labor day. Top Story - September 2021.
To me, Labor Day was always linked to my birthday- granted it only happens once every seven years, but it feels like my own special day. Unlike my mother, who always gets to share her birthday with Veterans Day! For the last 21 years, it was a free day off of work for me- an extended birthday weekend with pay. It is also the undeclared official start of school, Pumpkin Spice Latte's, NFL games, and the end of hot dogs and wearing white. I am not great at celebrating holidays, but as I am now at a pivotal birthday, I think I should get to know why we celebrate certain holidays. And, of course- I found the memes to make this so much more fun.

Royal Indian Navy Uprising
I came across the same old arguments about who contributed the most to India's struggle while preparing to write this article. Some views about what freedom means, and what should it mean. Common amongst all this literature are echoes from intellectual ghettoes, a place where the common Indian does not belong. So, I decided to find something we all often forget-the contribution of the common Indian folk.

How Much Is A Human Body Part Worth?
So we have all heard the jokes about selling a kidney or a liver to pay for something expensive but you might be surprised to find out just how much each human body part is worth to science. Organ donation is a huge charitable operation and those fuckers are getting PAID people. Today we are going to look at what each human body part is worth when you are selling it to scientific research firms and universities. Note: I don’t know how to negotiate the brokering of human body parts nor do I suggest doing it for extra cash. HOWEVER, I have been in charge of estates before where we have chosen to donate the organs to charity . . . below are the fair market values those charities get paid after harvesting the deceased organs. The more you know fellow hustlers, the more you know.

Breaking the (Autistic) Code: Matilda (1996)
Disclaimer: I am not a licensed medical professional and this series is not about diagnosing the character(s) with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This series is just a personal examination of the film/TV show's plot, the character's traits and personality and how they relate to me as an Autistic woman. Whether this character is canonically Autistic or not is irrelevant. This series has come about after Sia's controversial film Music was released and the backlash that has ensued before, during and after the release of the film. I am not the only Autistic individual that is discussing this topic, nor will I be the last. I would encourage my readers to seek out different perspectives on disability representation especially from BIPOC disabled creators who are often ignored in the disability discourse. I will also try to avoid giving away any spoilers for those who have not seen the film/TV show but if I have to give context for my arguments, this will be a likely occurrence so please be forewarned.

Face tattoos will become normal.
Generation Z is unlikely to have any idea how uncommon tattoos once were. As a case study let's look at the Space Jam movies. The recent Space Jam 2 sparked multiple controversies, but the fact that star LeBron James is covered in tattoos was not one of them. Nobody cared about that.
