New York, such a big city. She's okay, though. She's just tired and sometimes. She plays the piano just a little. Thin and beautiful pulling at her toe points. "The stage is happiness" The light shining from the stage, She loves pirouettes and She looks beautiful while doing them. Spotting the left corner of the stage. "I'm so happy you're here"

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.
"Drugs” "Thank you sir, I am ever so gracious for your kindness". He walks away, There’s a mirror across the room. The Red tile stands out. "I can't see you" she says. "I'm seeing someone else".

Xethos Lands is a post-apocalyptic, cyberpunk, and monster-hunting world steeped in long-forgotten divine influences. At the end of the Second God War, or what became known as the Shattered War, for indeed the gods shattered the known land of Elythria into two continents that have since become known as Thulmhu and Jotagoria. There is a third island continent known as Kwazur, a volcanic island where only a very small population lives, and no one has really visited before the shattering. Very few know of its existing post-shattering.

What a Mess. Political satire hidden within actual news and life lessons.
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 Poems from the Garden WellSome 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.

To give you a little history. I was seeking to create a system that would evaluate scientific papers so that I and others could better understand what was actually being said. So, I created Design Biology, but that was too narrow, so I created FEP, which stands for Forensic Evaluation Protocol. Then, of course, I began searching for papers to evaluate. Lo and behold, a paper that appears to be attempting the same tasks I was doing described a tool they were building. That is when I ran a full FEP evaluation, both negative and positive on the paper titled “Initiating 'discourse analysis' as a tool to differentiate between science and pseudoscience: Another valuable tool to advance objectivity and rigor in science (IJISRT, June 2024).[1] While I disagreed with parts of its framing, I saw real promise in the tool itself.
A little thought about parenting and parents in general. it is very important to realize our kids are people, so I'll be going over common failures and misconceptions.

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."
"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. It kept popping up on my list, quietly sitting there, waiting. But this time, I finally did it. I went to the north of Spain, to the heart of the Basque Country. I discovered a city that completely surprised me.

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.

Please come and view my work, join the Discord (https://discord.gg/7MWuhgddkv), and help me build a thorough world to be explored by adventurers from all over.
