An essay on the Ukranians fighting for land against Russia.
I found myself anxious with sweaty hands. Trying to focus my eyes upon it but could only glance. I am weak and can’t seem to find the strength to stand. Here in this moment I vow to live everyday as if it were my last. Living a dignified life with much class. I have vowed to slow down so I don’t move to fast. Today is a new me for the old me left yesterday.
2025's poems, usually written under the influence.
Hello. My name is Dr. AY Heath; you can call me Angel. I'm here to chronicle a big goal for myself. And trust me, it is a very big goal. So what is this big goal. I’m going to read and break down 150 film scripts. That does sound like a lot, but it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while and, after stepping away from my corporate job, I dove into film school and have been diving deep into the process of storytelling. But I want to do more than just learn technical skills; I want to understand what works and doesn't and see where we're in this big filmmaking industry.

Read more from What A Mess (News and Opinion)Let's get one thing straight: Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. This is not up for debate.
If there was ever a way to publicly humiliate an allied leader—one who is literally fighting for his country’s survival—Trump and his administration managed to find it.
While unprecedented, the legal and diplomatic basis for this approach is intriguing. This bold move could offer Ukraine several major advantages...

Read more from Cycles of Reflection"Key-Kee!" Nadine echoed, her tiny hands gripping the floor as she crawled forward, her voice bubbling with excitement. "No, it is Kit-Ty," Harold corrected, shaking his head. "She says it wrong. She is still a baby," Elise said gently. "Meow, meow… meowww," Nadine mimicked the family cat, her tiny frame wiggling like a kitten in play. Eli dropped to his hands and knees beside her. "Meowww!" he exaggerated, scrunching his nose and wiggling his fingers like whiskers. "Ugh, this is ridiculous," Harold groaned. As Nadine moved, the soft fur of her costume brushed against her arms, keeping her warm against the cool fall air. She did not know it yet, but this was something she would carry forever. Her orange-striped costume tail flicked behind her. It was her first Halloween, the night she would start transforming into something more. Later, as shadows stretched across the walls, she whispered her first sign of something greater. "Here, Key-Kee."
"The melody of ‘Jesus Loves the Little Children’ drifted through the quiet church, each note steady beneath Yara’s fingertips. No one noticed how her back stiffened, how her breath caught just slightly before she pressed forward, playing through the sharp waves of pain. The music continued, but time itself seemed to slow. It wasn’t time. Not yet."

Most publishers strive to maintain a presence on social media, with the expectation that it will increase traffic to their websites, and therefore increase revenue. In addition to paying for social media managers, they also often encourage their writers to post regularly on their own personal accounts (meaning reporters are spending time marketing instead of reporting). There is little evidence this actually increases revenue beyond the cost of supporting that presence (if that).
We want Notd to be as simple as possible for writers and readers, but with so many great features (many of which are new to online publishing), there may be a learning curve. Below are important tips to help you get set up correctly and get noticed. They may seem basic at first, but don’t skip them!

Read more from Welcome to my chaos_Pull. your chair up.Turning 40 feels like my body is breaking down piece by piece, making me question everything—my health, my habits, and my future. With a family history of breast cancer and type 2 diabetes, recent changes in my body have me in full panic mode. Getting a doctor’s appointment is nearly impossible, and the waiting only fuels my fear. But despite it all, I still have so much to live for—my kids, my dreams, and the bucket list road trip I hope to take one day. This is my raw, unfiltered reflection on aging, uncertainty, and the determination to keep going.
I spent years dreaming of a peaceful, clean home once my kids were grown and out on their own. But when that day finally came, the silence wasn’t comforting—it was crippling. No one tells you how to rebuild your life when the one thing that gave you purpose is suddenly gone. This is my journey through empty nest syndrome—the unexpected grief, the struggle to find myself again, and the reality of life after raising kids.
