Undiagnosed disabilities: ableist practices in higher education
Disabilities or dysfluencies are often stigmatized, which then leads to people either not wanting to be diagnosed or hiding their disabilities.
Geneseo’s Rape Aggression Defense Class
Recently, Geneseo announced a series of rape aggression self-defense classes with the University Police Department (UPD)—four sessions spread throughout the month of April.
I love being a Disney adult
Urban Dictionary defines a Disney adult as “An adult with an intense and extreme love of The Walt Disney Company films, television shows, franchises, characters, theme parks, merchandise/ memorabilia, and/or products.” Under this definition, I am considered a Disney adult.
Celebrating Queer joy with Gaypril
At The Lamron we approach every issue, especially those close to our hearts, with purpose and urgency. This month, that commitment takes on a celebratory and meaningful note, because that’s right everyone, it’s Gaypril.
The lost art of physical media
I take a special pride in being the go-to friend when someone can’t find a movie on streaming services. Whether it’s unavailable or they don’t have the platform, I can turn to my personal Criterion Collection of 166 DVDs.
Stop pitting news stories against each other
“While the media has been distracting you with what’s happening in Iran, here’s what you SHOULD have been paying attention to…”
The Lamron loves the Earth—and so should you
Earth: we all live on it. So why don’t we all seem to care about it?
True crime, real perversion
Between TikTok, podcasts, and even coloring books, true crime has made its way into public consciousness, and thus, public discourse.
We have a misguided belief in our invincibility
Upon reflection—particularly regarding our recent and frequent involvement in Iran and the Middle East more broadly—I have realized that one crucial assumption underpins many of our foreign policy decisions: that we are an invincible force that will not, and, in fact, cannot be defeated.
In a world of chaos, be the calm
Right now, things are not looking too good for us, especially for Generation Z.
Staff Ed: The official ranking of The Lamron e-board on Dancing with the Stars (2005- )
Although the recent season of Dancing with the Stars (2005-) (DWTS) has come to an end, The Lamron e-board has continued to discuss the show. Below is our formal ranking of where the e-board members would place on our own season of the show.
Welcome to 4chan
Have you ever wanted to see the ponies from My Little Pony ranked by sex appeal? Have you ever wished you were violently radicalized? Have you ever sat and thought to yourself, “Wow, I’d love to see a beheading video right now!”
Oh, la vache: manif à la française
Mesdames et messieurs du normaL: il faut que je vous parle d’un sujet que je trouve tout à fait troublant. En tant que vache moi-même, j’ai entendu parler de mes cousins bovins aux États-Unis des histoires d’agitation dans leur pays.
Ninjago (2001) is not a kids show
Do you all remember Ninjago (2011)? That LEGO show where the main characters spin around and create tornadoes that attack their enemies? Well, I sure do, and let me tell you that show is one of my favorites from my childhood.
Women don’t want me, and it’s not my fault
The incel community comes under fire sometimes, and in a way that I find completely unfair. Sometimes people act as though incels are inherently sexist and anti-women; they talk about us like we are going around yelling at and assaulting women left and right.
America wants you to worry about the wrong fundamentalists
Since Feb. 28, 2026, the United States and Israel have begun co-writing the next bloody chapter in the already overwhelmingly violent regional story of the Middle East. The nascent war in Iran was initiated through joint attacks targeting Iranian government officials, artillery and military assets, and elementary school children in a manner truly befitting U.S.-Israeli aggression.
What makes you weird makes you wonderful
Have you ever felt that you do not fit in, or that others have not accepted you?
Are zodiac signs accurate?
Perceptions of zodiac signs differ from person to person, and it is something that is debated a lot in the media. Some of us take them completely seriously, some of us are totally against them, and some are indifferent on the topic. The Lamron e-board has been discussing zodiac signs recently and our feelings on them, sharing whether we feel our signs represent us, as well as if we judge others based on their sign.
SUNY Geneseo should utilize its seal more in branding and merchandise
While I’m sure almost everyone attending SUNY Geneseo has seen the college’s logo—the clock tower of Sturges Hall sitting above the year of the college’s founding and a highly stylized depiction of the Genesee Valley all enveloped by a shield—perhaps fewer have seen the college’s seal with as much frequency as the logo.
Reflections on privilege and protest
On Sunday, Mar. 8, I attended the Women’s March hosted by Peace Action Geneseo. It was fairly well attended; we looped around the Main Street area twice with our signs, shouting chants and waving to all those who honked when they passed by.
