Returning Label volunteer, Chris Leroux, gives a broader discussion of his views on Halls and reflects on the difficulties of controversy in journalism.

Personally, I have always found ASMR videos and clips very intriguing and interesting. From hair cuts to slime, I’ve always thought of them as a relaxing tool to help me with anxiety and uneasiness. Anyone who knows me well will know that I enjoy…
