Marriage is complicated but its worth talking about! I myself just got out of a nine year marriage an it makes me wonder ....is it all really worth it.

This piece blends personal story and social critique, exposing how racism and labeling scar across all races. From being misnamed “white” and “racist” despite a mixed heritage, to raising daughters judged differently by their skin, the writer calls out prejudice in every direction. She warns that today’s “safe spaces” risk becoming new segregation, twisting MLK’s dream into division. With examples like the Burnsville crash and government manipulation, she argues that racism is racism—no matter the target. The call is clear: judge by character, not color, and fight for bridges, not barriers.

Friday, August 29th 2025 The Crystal Standard As I'm sitting here 10:00 at night alone LOL I'm realizing I haven't had much interaction with anybody today so out of curiosity how was your day what exactly did you do with your ME TiME.... You guys know what that is right that's the little time in the day that absolutely nobody is requiring your time, energy, and effort for the majority of us this time is simply precious.

Summary (300–400 characters): Emotions weaponized, not facts, drive the adult experience in America. The Second Amendment wasn’t about deer hunting—it’s a check against tyranny. Criminals bypass laws, so more regulation only disempowers law-abiding citizens. Real solutions lie in emotional education, accountability, and life skills—not disarmament.

The way people lend themselves to this man's fight, or lend themselves to fighting this man, is truly shocking. However, it has exposed latent hostilities and racial hatred that has been un-addressed for decades. I contend the ills of our civil discourse today stem from failing to address latent or systemic racism early on.

The world of rock is some that many churches reject. Many claim that it's the devil's music or that anyone who listens to tend to have a rebellious spirit but in my experience that's far from the truth.

Mom culture is not fun at all. You either are working so your baby’s don’t starve or not enough. Get judged for everything you do.

This all obscene. The grass is no longer green on the other side. Fears don’t hide. Death doesn’t confide. And the rest is all lied.

In MT there are riots everyday about ICE and how unfair Trump's bill is. I want to encourage debate and conversation, so I decided to write about it...

This is my very first article and it is written to criticise the whole mindset that fuels the neurodiversity movement in the first place.

Starting college can feel like jumping into the deep end — exciting, overwhelming, and everything in between. As a sophomore at an HBCU, I’ve had my fair share of lessons, wins, and setbacks. This blog is my way of sharing what I’ve learned so far — from balancing academics with social life, handling money struggles, protecting my mental health, and everything in between. Whether you’re just getting started or finding your way back, I’m here to walk with you through it all.

Some days I suffer from having no filter and some days I am as quiet as a church mouse. Everyday I try to be 100% me but it can be difficult in a world that is not always accepting of my shade of weird.

You can lead a horse to water Mr. Neese.... You can't make them drink the water. O but the argument goes from two ages they say you can drown him says son while Papa says it's not good water to drink precisely fooled by his hooves not wanting to further he's tired in his age wise to know that water is polluted with rubbish and last campers of the decade who threw their trash out instead of picking up the dirty diapers or the packages the steak came on or the batteries that sat and corrosion built up around the ends saying it's waste and old news. Today's people don't respect the land to throw trash in a dumpster instead of out the car window or to leave their trash all over a beautiful camp site like as if it was the holiday inn and the house keeper be by soon to pick up last night's garbage.

Sometimes, it’s not our reality that needs changing — it’s our view of it. We walk through life with assumptions, past experiences, and invisible filters that shape how we interpret everything and everyone. A moment that feels like rejection to one person might feel like redirection to another. A failure to one may look like a seed of growth to someone else. Perspective is a lens, and unlike facts, it can be reshaped. When we learn to pause, challenge our inner narratives, and see from another angle, we open the door to empathy, clarity, and possibility. In a world that often demands certainty, choosing to see differently is a radical act. And sometimes, that small shift in how we look is all it takes to begin again.

Should, We the People, really be surprised that there were 10 people grouping together to plan an attack on ICE agents?

I’m not an economist but reflecting on the recent financial fluctuations and general state of affairs, I believe there is a vital element the experts have overlooked. Marbles.

Now that we're getting into how it started for me,we're going to take a look at how it went. Ninth grade.

DEAR ASK A PUNK - I’m 28 years old and I’ve been punk since I was 14. I went to every show (not that we had many of them here in a tiny town in the middle of huge ol’ Texas), skateboarded everywhere, bought a guitar, played in my bands, partied and drank and had what I thought was a good time. I also grew apart from my family and did a lot of stuff I’m not proud of and was basically a pain in the A to everyone for a long time. But things are different now. I got saved (and sober) six months ago and now I’m getting my life on track and figuring out what I’m going to do next that’ll glorify His name and make me a more worthy person. I’m torn between shutting the door of my past completely or reaching back and trying to pull some of my former friends out with me. So should I go back and become a punk preacher or should DIY also apply to saving yourself? …Saved.

Land of the stupidity & life of a scam. America is Quite Literally ass backwards. Everything that's different is shunned, everything that is not "in line" disappears...
