"We on the left, have abandoned the tenets of critical inquiry and instead have decided to now worship at the altars of social justice and right-speak. So preoccupied with being politically correct, we have turned our backs on the very source of our legitimacy-the truth."

Sure we have tech advancements, modern luxuries and spectacular beauty as well as intelligence; yet there is something so much more lacking............. If I had a dollar for every interaction I had with someone that I felt they were being honest with their true intentions and could be deemed trustworthy, I still would be poor.

Good Day Mate. Welcome to Brain Feed. I am a freelance writer, and will be putting up my short stories on this feed.

All falls that end won’t seem very well. There’s so much pressure to do the right thing but once you try it one time, a sentiment of peace draws you in. It’s okay to draw that stick figure again.

Twelve o'clock is both midnight and midday. But hidden behind this everyday staple of organization time as we know it has a deep flaw. This flaw does not just relate to time, but to many core systems that history and culture has put so much faith in in the past.

Combining historical analysis, literary critique, and neuroscientific insights, this article critically examines the persistent phenomenon of child abuse and the systemic adult hypocrisy that perpetuates it. It traces abuse from ancient practices through modern institutional failures, highlighting how cultural norms, religious misinterpretations, and political inaction reinforce cycles of violence. Dostoevsky’s stark portrayals, coupled with evidence of trauma’s long-term neurological impact, underscore the deep-rooted nature of abuse. Ultimately, the work argues that despite incremental improvements, entrenched power dynamics and societal denial ensure that true reform remains unlikely, calling for urgent individual and collective moral accountability.

This article examines violence as an intrinsic aspect of the human condition by integrating political philosophy, literature, and neuroscience. It explores Machiavelli’s pragmatic use of violence in statecraft, Nietzsche’s revaluation of aggression as an existential force, and McCarthy’s stark portrayal of brutality in Blood Meridian. By uniting classical thought with modern neurobiological insights, the study reveals how violence functions both as a tool for power and an evolutionary impulse, shaping cultural identity and political dynamics, while urging innovative strategies to mitigate its destructive impact.

For my latest project—a sidewalk mural for Downtown Kitchener’s Palette x Palate event—I wanted to reflect our community’s diversity. During a tough month, my family in Sudan faced a brutal civil war, and I lost three loved ones. Despite this, my daughter Delilah’s energy helped me push forward. I based the mural on the “Jum Jum,” a symbol of my heritage from Mabaan, Sudan. The event brought together inspiring artists, including Julie Restrepo, whose kindness left a lasting impression. Delilah contributed to the mural, creating a proud moment for me as a father. With the help of friends like Zakary Mong'are and Shaquille Depeazer, the mural came to life. This experience showed me that art is about community, not just the finished piece. It’s about connection, support, and creating meaning together. I’m excited to keep inspiring young people and showing how art can bring us all together, no matter the challenges we face.

why have kids if you can’t be with them in the way that they deserve, i did born in a country where in the time, man’s were de power and women’s on the bottom which make things complicated for a new born who their parents are already splitting up… i remember still clear images of when i was a baby but also realistic images and experiences that i have to live with…. just because two persons decide to have a kid but they didn’t know were they wanted to go in life… My mother was minor and my dad recently adult at least for a couple years,.. they knew each other since a few years because they were neighbors… my dad coming from a family not rich but with very good stability to be living in a country full of corruption and parents who give him everything my mom other side of the way … family of low income and very strict and rude but this is just the starting what could become my nightmares and the pain of my life carrying without telling anyone about my biggest weak points…

If the city lights weren’t big enough to make you move your romp, well maybe just then I’d see between the looking glass and the stacked book shelf. Could it be my old rocking chair that made sense of it all?

We can’t compare man to God. Because the minute you hide your face, here comes his serpent, rod, Shepard, and foot stool. When God sits you down, understand his will to save you from disbelievers and the quake of His world of fools.

A Night at Blockbuster: What We’ve Gained and Lost It’s Friday night, and the routine is as comforting as the movies we’re about to pick. My mom, my brothers, and I pile into the car, excitement buzzing in the air. We’re heading to Blockbuster. Tonight is movie and game night. It’s a tradition, a ritual, one that requires careful deliberation and a little negotiation

The decline of the Roman Empire was a multi-faceted event. The defeat of Persia perhaps cost the Romans too much, as it depleted resources for issues/problems later.

Dopamine and serotonin in particular are the neurotransmitters that are relevant when it comes to goals. Dopamine is considered a ‘reward’ chemical that your brain releases when you’ve achieved (or you’re close to achieving) a goal. It creates feelings of motivation, satisfaction and productivity. Serotonin helps to create feelings of happiness, calm and focus. The presence of neurotransmitters explains why you feel great when you achieve a goal.
