River Jude Phoenix, who died in the early 1990s, was a gifted actor in the 1980s and 1990s. You might recognize him as the older brother of Joaquin Phoenix. River was a proponent of animal rights, an environmentalist, and an actor. He was a true angel who was loving and generous, gracious, who would always go out of his way to support others. River was ahead of his time in his efforts to raise concerns about global warming and to put an end to animal cruelty; in particular, he was one of the first vegans in the 1980s, when few people knew what it meant. Stand By Me, Running On Empty, My Own Private Idaho, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade are just a few of his memorable films. His success in the film My Own Private Idaho with his best friend Keanu Reeves made him an LGBTQ icon. Many people came out as a result of his performance, and many speculated River himself was bisexual. He tragically died of an overdose on Halloween, 1993, as a result of drugs given to him by his friend John Frusciante that night. River Phoenix, on the other hand, will still be remembered as a symbol and a legend who deserved so much more.

Get the Joaquin Phoenix mug.A business disguised as a school that uses spam as a means of luring in new unsuspecting customers. This diploma mill uses many sneaky advertising tactics, such as coming up as the first result in google search when typing in "university of", TV ads featuring sensationalized stories and fast-paced music, and a YouTube channel that features their "success stories" and that blocks any user that posts anything remotely critical of the school in their videos' comment sections. According to several accounts on the internet, most classes at UoP consist of nothing remotely useful. If one is able to get a job after graduating from here and pay off the $200,000 they owe in loans, they are truly lucky.
