Karina Chan never quite intended to be waxing poetic about fashion and sustainability as “Your fashion nerd” on TikTok. In a full circle moment, she sat down with The Daily Californian to have a conversation about the impacts of growing up in a tech-dominated environment, what the fashion media landscape is missing and more.

Harold’s soul is a building block of Berkeley. It’s even published among us at The Daily Californian. Adler recalls, “I shot for the Daily Cal a really long time ago, like in the ‘90s or something like ‘71.” It might make one wonder, what spaces does one’s soul find refuge in?

If this oracular role was something Torres reluctantly embraced in the aftermath of his debut, it's one he’s more fully embraced in his sophomore novel.

It’s as much a grand meditative set piece on the terrors of the American settler project as it is a self-reflexive castigation of one’s own filmography, of the inadequacy and immateriality of narratives themselves.

It’s a compilation of grungy, guitar-heavy anthems balanced with softer, pop-adjacent confessionals. Every track would fit perfectly in the soundtrack of a 2000s teen movie, particularly in the scene where the misunderstood bad boy finally shows emotion.

After all this, I can deem the transformation complete: I am no longer a child dreaming of growing into a cool, goth lady. I made it all this way, through years of people making me question myself, back to London.

There is a richness to Priscilla’s (Cailee Spaeny) life that the movie assumes as a baseline, despite the fact that it’s all internally contained. Deprived of the life experiences that might form this inner life into something concrete, it needs to be coaxed out filmically.

On Nov. 4, Oakland Ballet came together with Hayward-based companies Ballet Folklórico México Danza and Mariachi Mexicanisimo in Oakland’s Paramount Theatre for an exuberant afternoon of music, dance, tradition and innovation.
