It’s unseasonably windy as I’m perched on the corner of 3rd Avenue and Fillmore Street. A woman in a blue nylon sweatsuit is the only other witness to the unmanned white vehicle that whips around the corner. Adorned with my initials — “AB” — on a display mounted to the roof, the car chimes “Hello Abigail” as I swing open the door and step into my autonomous vehicle.
When a video appearing to depict Joe Biden spewing anti-trans hate speech surfaced online in early February, Joshua Garland was alarmed. In the brief clip, which was widely shared on social media, Biden delivers transmisogynistic rhetoric so bigoted and obscene, it isn’t suitable to publish here — and the lip-synced audio sounds just like the president’s actual voice.
College can be an intimidating place, especially for incoming freshmen. We could all use a friend to guide us in the right direction, a friend who is always a text away, ready to offer words of encouragement, plenty of emojis and a set of listening ears. Although this ‘friend’ may seem hard to come by, it’s already waiting to meet you.

Although he doesn’t consider himself an artist, Andrew Maynard, a professor at the School for the Future of Innovation in Society, used an AI art bot to create 56 images. He directed the bot Midjourney to create what most caught his eye and published the creations in September 2022.
The word “farm” might conjure up images of vast swaths of land covered by endless rows of crops. A vertical farm might conjure up images of scientists inside laboratories wearing starch-white lab coats, examining soil samples with microscopes. It’s time to remove those images from your mind and plant the seed of imagination: a vertical farm in your kitchen.
To any passing observer, Alex* may have seemed like just another ASU student slipping out of their dorm to hook up with an online stranger in the dead of night. Except this wasn’t a mere hookup. Alex was going to meet their first client, and they had a knife hidden in their left sock — just in case things went south.
On Feb. 15, over 180 New York Times contributors wrote an open letter expressing concern of editorial bias in the paper’s recent coverage of transgender and gender-diverse people. Citing numerous examples of homophobic and transphobic reporting in the paper’s recent history, the letter expressed disappointment with the Times for “(following) the lead of far-right hate groups in presenting gender diversity as a new controversy warranting new, punitive legislation.”

Are you a creative, feminine-presenting performer residing in the Valley?
State Press Magazine spoke to three University students compelled to wear aspects of their culture on their skin every day. Sophia Crevelt, a junior studying journalism and mass communication, shares a tattoo stemming from a trip to Italy that reconnected her to her Italian heritage. Allison Hawn graduated from ASU in 2022 with a Ph.D. in communication and is a tattoo art historian. She bears traditional tattoos from the Indigenous people of northern Scotland and perpetuates what it means to be Pict. Sasha Park is a senior studying biological sciences, conservation and ecology. She describes how her tattoos helped her come to terms with her body as a trans woman and explains her interest in a niche culture.

The decision to attend a public university is more than choosing a major, roommate or meal plan — for some, it can mean choosing a family. Greek Life is integral to ASU’s culture, and every year a new swarm of eager students rush to snag a spot in one of the University’s myriad Greek organizations. After all, there’s no other space on campus where words like “big” and “little” act as terms of endearment, and finding the brother or sister you never had is just a few thousand dollars away.
Unmoving figures watch as the microcosm that is ASU's Tempe campus moves around them. They're present when the first student heads to the SDFC to get a morning workout, and they're there when the last student hurries to catch the final intercampus shuttle of the day.
Forget Lightning McQueen and Radiator Springs — the Phoenix metropolitan area is the true pit stop for motorized vehicles.

To Ruterman, attending ASU was a rite of passage, a badge that would cement her as a permanent part of the community she came to love.
