The Memoirs of Levy
"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". "Why do you have these parties" ? "Because you're desperate?" She asks. My latte is getting cold. You know the market, It's only across the street. "I know" "I don't want to go too far" "Why"? Because of the man that just walked away.

We Were just Lovers
The day kissed the night and you held my hand in the Summertime, reading to me on the park bench, stumbling on your words and then taking me home for breakfast,.. I mean lunch. “No breakfast”, in the middle of the day? “No, you see, We ate breakfast at a bare wood table, which was mine and then we made love on the sofa couch in my apartment.” “ And then you laid on my chest and watched my eyes and we fell asleep on the sofa. The bowls of cereal, still on the bare wood table, in the kitchen. I closed my eyes and then I woke up and you were gone, I looked at the front door of my apartment

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

Keepers of the Flame
Chapter I Keeper of the Flame Alexandria — The Whisper Beneath the Scrolls The first time the symbol appeared in this life, it was not in a dream. It was on concrete. Spray-painted in faded gold along the side of an abandoned brick building near the river — a place I used to walk when I needed to clear my head. The area wasn’t sacred. It wasn’t historical. It was just quiet. But that night, something felt charged. I had gone there after an argument — heart racing, mind restless, feeling like the world around me was shifting faster than I could ground into it. The sky was heavy with low clouds, streetlights flickering against the water. And then I saw it. A circle. Inside it, a single vertical line. Through the line, three short horizontal marks. Not random graffiti. Too deliberate. Too precise. The paint was metallic — not bright, but reflective, like someone wanted it to catch light only at certain angles. My breath slowed. Because I knew it. Not from this lifetime.
Little ol me
I love poetry and writing but never knew I wanted to write myself, because I was scared of what others would think <3
How fields gaing acceptance in the scientific community?
Direct answer: Early on, many biologists treated sugars on proteins and lipids as “decorations” because they were hard to map, hard to sequence, and hard to connect to a clear function. The core problem was technical and conceptual: glycans are structurally diverse, branched, and not template-encoded as DNA and proteins are, so the field felt messy and slow-moving. (ACS Publications)
Survival Videos and Doomscrolling
Right now, my brain isn’t letting me sleep. I am scrolling through so many videos about survival shelters, how to pack a bug-out-bag, what kinds of food you should be storing, and damn if I don’t want to get back to experimenting with shelter building and overall bushcraft and survival. It’s February, and I’m in Nova Scotia, Canada — not exactly winter survival on easy mode. There are colder parts of Canada, but it’s wet here, and we get storms. In fact, we are due for one tomorrow. A pretty major snowfall that’s going to shut down the province for a day or two, in all likelihood.

Key-Kee Catdine
"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."

Born Between Two Days
"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.

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.
