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.

Myself and Other Hidden Things.
I tried to find happiness, but all I saw was pain. I tried to seek joy, but all I found was sorrow. I waited for peace, but all that came was anger, and a wound that can't be healed. I tried to stop the bleeding, but it soaked through all the pages. Now everything's stained red. My journey through my bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder.

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.

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.

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."

I’m A Plant That Talks
This poem is dedicated to the beauty of self awareness. Having self compassion for oneself. Boundaries with who we let into our innermost circle. We are walking cosmos energies. So much like plant being rooted out of the ground. Showing the way everything in life has a process. A time and place. But what we water ourselves with matters.
They Use Guesswork Instead of Science when it comes to the Lucy Debate
Why I Am Writing This The reason I am writing directly to you is the persistent framing of this debate as settled science, which it is not. I am not attacking people. I am examining methods. Methods, not reputation, consensus, or comfort, determine the success or failure of science. When claims drift from testable evidence into narrative protection, the scientific method is no longer being used.
Socialism: Has Never Been Tried?!?
I posted this simple challenge on TikTok to see where people's minds were. It was as I suspected. People are uneducated, ideologized and stubborn. “What system has done the most environmental harm: Socialism, Communism or Capitalism?” The following is one of the more detailed responses. “There has never been a socialist country, but it works well in Mondragon and worker co-ops. “Communist” states have always started as totalitarian and never transitioned to true communism. So, since socialism and communism have never been enacted, obviously capitalism has done the most harm, and the most good, because its competition are systems that.”

"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."

Democrats, Jesus Wants His Crucifix Back!
The Democrat Party has little affinity with Father God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Max Burns in the Hills' "Where does faith fit in for today’s Democratic Party?" wrote, "Engaging with these tough issues did more than just solidify my own understanding of my faith. It taught me that there are tens of millions of faith-filled people in this country who defy the stereotypes foisted onto them by both the left and the right. Democrats can win those voters back — but first they’ll need to rediscover that Christianity isn’t a dirty word." Democrats have profaned God and the Holy Word by comparing their lives and their living to Jesus' persecution and crucifixion on the cross. Hey, Democrats, Jesus wants his crucifixion back!
