An Ode to Enya
While other kids were greeted after school with snacks and maybe a “How was your day, honey?” Growing up, coming home for me meant being greeted by Enya. My dad loved her music, and the dramatic “Sail away, sail away, sail away…” of “Orinoco Flow” reverberated throughout the house whenever he played it, which in my memory is always.
As a ten-or-so-year-old, I was cognizant enough to recognize that it was definitely a vibe—one that as I got older, became increasingly embarrassing, especially when I had friends over. As an adult, though, I’ve come to appreciate Enya. Of course, she has endless records, accolades, and fans. But after rediscovering her music in a moment of nostalgia—and then falling down a Wikipedia rabbit hole—I feel a personal responsibility to encourage everyone out there to do the same. Not only is “Orinoco Flow” still a banger, Enya herself is also an incredible-sounding person.
Born Eithne Pádraigín Ní Bhraonáin, Enya is so Irish, she actually spoke Gaelic growing up in the mythical-sounding region of Gweedore, which is located at the northernmost tip of the island.

Why rape is not a &#;one-off&#; crime
Greetings, Meteor readers,
Happy Black History Month!
Last night, The Meteor welcomed an incredible group of performers to a packed house at New York City’s Joe’s Pub for Say The Word: A Night of Art and Action for Abortion. (If you were there, hi!) The show was jam-packed with brilliance: We heard from comedian Jaye McBride; Colombian human rights lawyer and abortion rights activist Paula Ávila-Guillén; and Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright Michael R. Jackson, who sang an original protest song.
And then there was the glorious Dr. Kameelah Phillips, telling it like it is:
And as if that weren’t enough, Bob Odenkirk and David Cross reunited for the weirdest, most hilarious bit, all to raise money for the New York Abortion Access Fund.
In today’s newsletter, the body-shaming of Sam Smith and the ridiculousness of the College board. Plus, Cindi Leive talks to writer V about what we get wrong about rape.
But first, some news.
LYLAS,
