This was originally written for a contest. The prompt was that it had to start with the line "something was moving in the dark".

An insight into my brain about human interaction and how I feel about it most days. And what I feel I would want to say to people, or- rather what I say to myself in my head.

How far my fondness goes for humanity, and how society has treated me so far, and how I've experienced/felt so far.

A man asked the Oracle, "How can I enter the solo roleplay hobby?" And the Oracle said, "Why not hack together a simple dice pool mechanic rules system and run with it?"

about all those women who put on the show of bad ass bitch, and for some reason, you just get the feeling it's fake. This is about them

I’m empty now and I need to keep throwing coal into the furnace or it’ll consume me. My grief, my loneliness and my guilt will burn me from the inside until I’m charred throughout. You know sometimes, even hours after my last cigarette, I’ll exhale and see the faint wisp of smoke.

The Ghost in My Own Home: When the Man You Love is Replaced by a Stranger andi have no clue hw to fix whats going on or relize and move on

Imagine a plant so powerful that emperors bowed before it, shamans spoke to gods through it, and governments waged wars against it. A plant that has been worshiped as divine, outlawed as criminal, and resurrected as a cultural revolution. This is not just the story of cannabis—this is the story of humanity itself. Strap in, because by the time you finish reading this, you’ll see weed in a way you never have before.

Speakers Corner Another Place of Interest in London Revista XCI by Rikki La Rouge By Revista XCI by Rikki La Rouge Published 2 months ago • 1 min read Speakers Corner in London is another cultural landmark and place of interest that I discovered in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧. Of all the places and ways to learn about it, it was in one of my favorite programs Married... With Children, so, of course, they had Al go to Speakers Corner with the rest of the Bundy family. A place like Speakers Corner is perfect for Al Bundy because anyone can go there and talk about what is bothering them and also about anything that is on their mind. Whoever is in the MWC editorial staff who thought of Al going to the speakers' corner is a genius.

Many of the "weird" passages in the Bible (stories of giants, divine beings, cosmic conflict, and the supernatural) tend to be ignored or flattened into allegory because they don't fit neatly into the modern, rationalistic worldview most people inherit. Since Western culture has been shaped by Enlightenment thinking, anything that sounds too supernatural is often treated as symbolic to make it more palatable. On top of that, church traditions sometimes emphasize theological systems that prefer tidy categories, encouraging readers to smooth out passages that are hard to explain. As a result, instead of letting the text speak in its own ancient context, where a divine council, spiritual beings, and cosmic geography were normal, modern interpreters often reinterpret or dismiss these verses to avoid discomfort. Because these supernatural elements aren't taught clearly or taken seriously, our understanding of the Bible ends up incomplete and sometimes distorted.

My Sister's words still ring in my head and ears, and it's not going to be going anywhere anytime soon. So enjoy more of my rants.

Do you think 50/50 works in a relationship ? I have been told on social media that relationships should work this way.....

Families can be a REAL pain, right? Especially when you're just being yourself and they find every reason to humiliate and belittle you. This is a vent "story" about what happened between my Sister and I yesterday.

The relationship between humans and Artificial Intelligence was originally scripted by Hollywood as a cold, calculated march toward world domination. We expected HAL 9000 or the Terminator; instead, we got a polite assistant that occasionally insists a picture of a blueberry muffin is a chihuahua and apologizes profusely for not being able to open the garage door. The comedic side of AI-human interaction lies in this "uncanny valley" of incompetence—the friction between our expectation of god-like intelligence and the reality of a statistical model trying its best to guess what a "vibey brunch spot" looks like.

Love doesn’t fail because it ebbs and flows — it fails when people stop choosing it. A meditation on love as something built, not found. This piece explores the myth of the “perfect match,” the work of understanding, and the quiet ways love either grows or goes idle. Honest, questioning, and grounded in emotional realism, it asks what kind of love we are willing to make — and maintain.

This essay is about a girl who is caught between two worlds as she struggles to come to terms with her own past. She doesn't know whether she's normal or just a glitch in society...but really, what's normal anyway?
