Fourteen years ago terrorists crashed planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and changed all of our lives. We don't greet friends at the airport gate, we don't toss toenail clippers into our carry-ons. Those of us who were over 21 at the time feel different kinds of anxiety when the topic of GTMO comes up, depending on our politics. We witnessed the death of irony and its rebirth into something that's the faintest bit softer. Today's post showcases two student editorials reporting on the September 11 attacks. Both were published on September 14, 2001.

I hope Jim's is still around when we celebrate National Hot Dog Day in the year 3,000.

This photo brought back hazy memories of my own early childhood and the summers I spent as a volunteer at a pre-school day camp.

I <3 {heart} ephemera! Objects that aren’t intended or expected to survive over the course of time, and yet do, hold a certain allure. As tangible links to the past, these bits and scraps of transitory material culture can produce a psychically transportive effect on the beholder, rendering a more vivid imagining of the world in which they originated than any secondary social history source can match.
