Notd now lets any government agency, at any level, publish streams that will be free for anyone to subscribe. We are allowing these free streams as a public service, so that local, state, and federal governments can expand their audience when they need to provide important information. If you work for a government agency and want to publish a Public Service stream, read the rest of this post for the (simple) instructions). Notd streams allow for longer posts, higher resolution images, and no ads. Also, all of your posts will always be visible to all of your subscribers, as we do not use algorithms to determine what users see in their feeds.

We want Notd to be as simple as possible for writers and readers, but with so many great features (many of which are new to online publishing), there may be a learning curve. Below are important tips to help you get set up correctly and get noticed. They may seem basic at first, but don’t skip them!

You don't have to rely on ad-funded networks to create your own on-line community or group. Notd makes it easy to build a place for people to discuss a common interest, without your profiles and posts being mined for personal data.

I watched my son get on the bus, the sun glaring badly off the windshield. I wondered briefly how his driver, Ron, never wore sunglasses. I couldn’t see Ron because of the glare, but in the 4 months that he had driven Joey to school every day, he hadn’t worn them once. As the bus pulled away, I went back to the book I was reading. I looked up a couple of minutes later, and Joey’s school bus was pulling up. … “What do you mean, John?” Ron asked, “I just got here.” My heart raced as I realized that I had sent Joey on a bus without seeing the driver, or paying attention to the bus number.

As I walked into the lobby of the Hermetian Heritage Hotel, I had to agree with Rosemary; the place was a bit creepy, especially since the lobby seemed abandoned. I spun slowly as I moved through the lobby, taking the place in, and then leaned back against the empty front desk. It was all very Art Nouveau, a lot more elegant than quaint, and a large grandfather clock let out a single resounding dong. It somehow accentuated the stillness of it all, giving it an even more unsettling vibe. As even the clock’s intonation abandoned the vacant space, I felt a shiver run through me.

“So, you’re sure it’s not a problem, Doc?” “Absolutely certain,” said the Doctor who introduced himself as Nic, “Most people occasionally see dark figures scurrying away in the edges of their vision, especially when they are tired, or stressed, especially at night. It’s perfectly normal.” I believed him. Of course I did.

Mushrooms, the fruit of the fungi that grow in the ground below us, are practically a work of art by themselves. They can come in a wide variety of shapes and colors; some mushrooms are even bioluminescent. However, we humans have found a way of turning Mother Nature’s gift into something even more. How, you may ask? Mycosculpting.

Among the many subgenres of punk music, there is one that stands out for completely breaking genre molds, and that is Folk Punk. Also called Rouge Folk, Folk Punk mixes the harsh tones and confident lyrics of punk with the storytelling style and unique instruments that come from folk music.

I was driving home with my dad recently, and we ended up stopping for gas. When we did, he got out to fill the car and I walked around, having seen the pay phone above. Most people would look at it with aversion, seeing an outdated piece of trash, and a vandalized one at that.

Haunted Mansion Review *Movie Rating: 8.5/10 **Film Rating: 10/10 I saw Haunted Mansion when it first came out in theaters and watched it again on Disney+ for this review. There are many details I didn't notice until my second viewing that I'll be talking about below, but right now, let's talk about expectations. Anyone who knows anything about me knows I scare relatively easily and as a result, I am not part of the group that loves Halloween and all things scary. I want to. I really do, but if I sit through something truly scary, like the new Exorcist movie or any Conjuring film I won't sleep for days. So, when I saw the trailer for Haunted Mansion, I was actually excited.

The Creator Review *Movie Rating: 4/10 **Film Review: 6/10 If you follow me on Instagram you know this isn't a movie I was super excited to see. Nothing about the premise really blew me away when I first saw the trailer. I was interested in the premise and where they would take it but my expectations weren't exactly high. The Creator is one of those movies I didn't think too much about beforehand and just sat back to enjoy an experience. So while I have a lot to say about the film and a good chunk of it is not praise, I don't want anyone to think that my criticism is the result of high expectations. Because I barely had any.

Expendables 4 Review *Movie Rating: 6/10 ** Film Rating: 4/10 I want to preface this review by saying I absolutely love the '80s and '90s action movies which the expendables so lovingly try to recreate and replicate in their films. I grew up on movies like the Lethal Weapon series, Die Hard, the Terminators, and Face Off. I am 100% in what should be the target audience for these movies. That being said, I still do have some bad things to say about this movie, but that does not mean I have any disdain for this type of crazy action movie.
