Scotland Making the First Step Against Period Poverty
Every year, each woman spends about $150-$300 on menstrual products. Though this may not seem that bad, $150 is very important to those who need to buy a textbook for their education, or to someone who doesn’t know when they will have their next meal. When $150 can be the deciding factor in a matter between life and death, period poverty shouldn’t have to be an issue, and yet it still is.

Reimagining Eden
The story of Adam and Eve’s expulsion from the Garden of Eden is one of the most widely known parts of Christian lore, and perhaps one of the oldest as well. Like other Biblical stories, it was derived from earlier Sumerian traditions. The word eden is a Sumerian word meaning ‘plain.’ No matter your religion, you are probably familiar with the tale of the world’s first two humans and their misdemeanors in paradise. It is referenced in countless films and books, which leads to it being explained even in secular schools. It has infiltrated pop culture. Despite this, it is almost always depicted incorrectly. As is typical of the Bible, no physical description of Adam, Eve, or the serpent is included. It never explicitly states that the forbidden fruit is an apple or that the serpent is a snake (it was definitely not a snake). In this article, we’ll explore a few ways of envisioning the antagonist in this famous scene.
