Trisha Paytas - Career Revival?


  For this week’s blog topic, I will be discussing Trisha Paytas and her emergence back in the online sphere after facing some problematic moments. To preface, I have been a fan of Paytas since their trolling videos in the mid 2010’s, though at the time the topics of said videos were probably not in good taste. Recently, Paytas has starred in her own Broadway show, given birth to three beautiful children after years of infertility, featured as a guest on SNL, starred in the Broadway show Beetlejuice in NYC, starred on the hit podcast, gaining over 7 million views per episode, Frenemies, and has had multiple renowned celebrities on their popular podcast titled Just Trish. Before these achievements, Paytas was navigating through rough waters as they found themselves succumbing to drug usage, online hate trolling, obscene vulnerability, toxic friend groups, and other life-threatening/altering situations. These are a part of the many reasons people online believe that they do not deserve this comeback, and the concept of “cancellation” should be specifically put in place for her. This introduces a new talking point, cancel culture, and what is worth allowing someone to learn and grow from their mistakes. Paytas has risen from the ashes and broken from the shackles that once held her down, as she talks about how those past times are in no way related to who she is today. Making sure to take accountability, contribute to reparations for the communities affected, and moving forward with a new mindset in action. Ultimately, is this career revival worth supporting, or is there still some growth to be had? And what are some other thoughts and examples of cancel culture?

    I think that Trisha completely deserves this revival. In the past, she was clearly at a very low point and needed obvious help. She has worked on herself over the past few years and has proven that she deserved a second chance at a happy and successful life.

A Heated Rivalry or Wicked Misogyny?

Image
 As someone who may hold bias to the extent that I refuse to watch Heated Rivalry, I think it's important to state that I've seen a couple of episodes, and the show just isn't for me. I've also watched both the Wicked movies starring Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande. Now you are probably wondering what these two media films have in common. Well, nothing to be exact, and I think that's the preface we must state first.  This isn't about the series/movies, it's about the co-stars, but first, here's a little context you may need to understand where I am coming from. Arianna Grande plays in the musical adaptation of Wicked and Wicked for Good, directed by Jon M. Chu. She takes on the role of playing Galina (Galinda the Good), she is a very privileged and self-absorbed young woman who attends Shiz University and ends up facing an internal battle of being for the people or wanting her personal desire to keep her bond with Elphaba. Elphaba Thropp (The Wicked Wit...

Intro/Post-Grad Plans!

Hi everyone, My name is Emily Webb, and I’m from Frederick, Maryland. I am a senior majoring in Digital Culture & Design with a double minor in Graphic Design and Social Media. I am currently finishing up my applications for Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs in Technology Education or Art Education. My goal is to become a secondary teacher for digital arts courses. I am excited about combining my love for digital media with teaching and helping students develop both creative and technical skills. Outside of school, I enjoy crafting with my Cricut. I love designing projects and bringing them to life by pressing my designs onto clothes and other items. Creating something tangible from a digital idea is really rewarding. I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you, sharing ideas, and learning from your experiences this semester!  If you’re a senior, what are your post-grad plans (I know, the dreaded question), and if you’re not, what are you hoping to do after gradua...
