The Last Signal From Earth
The Last Signal From Earth is a sci-fi story set more than a century after humanity abandoned Earth due to environmental collapse. Commander Elias Chen, aboard the deep-space research vessel Aurora, discovers a mysterious signal coming from the long-silent planet. When the crew replays the transmission, they hear a human voice claiming that survivors are still alive on Earth—something scientists believed impossible. The signal traces back to the ruins of New York City, prompting Elias to set a course back to the forbidden planet.

Unfiltered Origins
A running collection of short, clear notes on the hardest questions in origins research. Focus: abiogenesis (life from non-life) and macro-evolution (new body plans, new organs, and molecule-to-man transitions). No appeals to authority. No storytelling disguised as evidence. Only what has actually been observed, repeated, and falsified in the lab or the honest admission when it has not. Data first. The burden of proof stays where it belongs.

Shadows between
August it was the first day of 6th grade Ms. Yvette's classroom smelled faintly of pencils and loneliness. She didn't know anyone, So naturally she sat at the back, alone, holding her books, wishing she could disappear into darkness By a stroke of fate or cruel joke she realized she had all the exact same classes as Mason. The boy she had technically met in fifth grade when he was captain of something she could never remember what. On the third day, she found herself pretending to dislike him teasing him and more even though her heart stopped every time he talked to her. part 2 coming soon!

And "they say" I was spoon fed
Jahnae Nelson Dec 22, 2025
Some days my dreams scare the living soul out of me, and some nights I can't wish away. To be privileged in a long traveled village with no scams and no shacks; to be a aging black woman in a beautiful castle with nothing but the world to lack.

No Cleopatra, I won’t dance with you Jahnae Nelson Jan 26, 2025

Loving A
I’m Will, a college dropout trading a prescribed path for the honesty of a blank page. I write because it’s the only place my thoughts finally make sense, especially the ones about Anna. She’s a blur of blonde hair, horror movies, and baseball, a girl who glows when she talks about the things she loves, even if she doesn’t love me back. This is my attempt to turn that quiet, background ache into something structured and real. I don’t know where the story ends, but I’m finally writing the sentences myself.
Ravitch recalls their wins in the Courtroom
Ravitch recalls their wins in the Courtroom Frank S. Ravitch highlights their many courtroom victories in his paper, "Beyond Jurisdiction: A Critical Response." This is Frank S. Ravitch’s Legal Framing of Intelligent Design, which has lost several arguments in recent court cases; however, they may have won a legal argument. They have not won the final argument. That distinction matters more than most people realize. In America, people are trained to bow before institutions. If a court speaks, many assume the matter is closed. If a school board approves a curriculum, many assume the question is settled. If a judge excludes one view and permits another, many act as if truth itself has been weighed, measured, and stamped with official approval.
Only A Kid
How it looks in our shirts, no matter how loose or baggy. And apparently, no matter how flat or big, Because I was only a kid.
Stop Sanitizing Salvation
When God chose to send His Son to die for our sins, He didn't send Him to live a nice, long, peaceful life and die of old age. He sent Him to suffer unimaginable physical, mental, and emotional pain after only 30 years on this earth. What make us think it is ok to hide the truth of what happened to Him, for us? In what reality is it "too much" for even a child to know? One that is serious trouble with their faith!

"Finally made it to Bilbao! A personal travel story and guide to the best of this Basque city. Discover Casco Viejo, pintxos, the Guggenheim, and hidden gems in the heart of northern Spain." You know the feeling when you keep telling yourself, “I have to go there”? Somehow, you just… never do. That was me with Bilbao. For years.

Blade Runner - Script #1: A Deep Dive into Humanity, Morality, and Identity 
Dr. AY Heath Dec 24, 2024
Released in 1982, Blade Runner has solidified itself as one of the most influential films in the sci-fi genre. Inspired by Philip K. Dick's novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the film challenges the audience with timeless questions about what it means to be human. It delves into the complexities of identity and explores the consequences of artificial life in a profoundly relevant way today.

150 Scripts: A Journey into the Heart of Filmmaking Dr. AY Heath Dec 23, 2024
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.

Everything previously published under Tales of Jistoa is no longer canon. Those drafts, those stories, those experiments — they were stepping stones, but they are not the living world anymore.
