Lifestyles How we live

The Pyramid Cat Colony Eva Bell Strangely, the place was overrun by cats of different shapes, sizes and colours. Baku Wedding Jim Solan Rituals attending best friend Elhan’s brother’s wedding reception. Icelandia Aby Davis The spooky darkness below the plane was Iceland. A small island poised above masses of red hot rock, straddling the north American plate. Two kids on a gap year, wanting to see something new. Planner to the Frying Pan American experience of Spanish Life - Caroline Hunter I was standing in a bar ... I realized that it was half past one in the morning; my homework for class at nine a.m. sat untouched

Sudden Republican About-Face on Vaccines Explained James Campion 7.23.21 Nearly seven out of ten Republicans refuse to be vaccinated. These are mostly the voter base of the party – white and uneducated, or what is left of this cult. Do the math. The Overrated Crime Narrative James Campion 7.10.21 Backlash to Right-Wing Paranoia Fuels Myth - the numbers of growing crime rates have not only been exaggerated, but fetishized, mythologized, and just plain made up. Eric Adams needs to be the next Mayor of New York City James Campion 7.4.21 This is a time to rebuild from the Covid-19 shutdowns and for real police reform, not combative Defund-the-Police nonsense. When Biafra Finally Comes 6/21/21 Chief Obiaruko Christie Ndukwe The bloodletting on the streets of Imo State must be stopped forthwith, and a new narrative engendered regarding the Biafra conflict.

Freelancing in Multiple Career Fields: What You Need To Know Indiana Lee 7.7.21 Just because you’ve primarily focused on writing, that doesn’t mean you can’t bolster your income with photography, graphic design, or editing. Car Thieves Alice Vonsimson Two driving tests taken when I was living in Hawaii had come back with negative results due to technical problems (wasn't sure which pedal was the brake), poor preparation (confused about whether red lights were suggestions or orders)... Grounds for Abuse M Joseph Hunt on Café Culture I have been in an abusive relationship for over ten years. As the cliché goes, it wasn’t always this way. I have become a statistic. The Nebraska Bedroom Massacre Georgina Lord I descend cold cement steps into the basement where a lonely light bulb swings mysteriously from the ceiling, disturbed by someone or something that had just slipped by unnoticed.

Teleportation Denial Sam Hawksmoor 7.7.21 “All I’m saying, Rian, is that just because someone thought of it, it doesn’t mean it will come true.  Teleportation is bunk.  Pure bunk.  No one will ever beam up Scotty.  It’s impossible ..."
