mithridatism
The word “Mithridatism,” per Merriam-Webster, is defined as “tolerance to a poison acquired by taking gradually increased doses of it.” This curious word is derived from the name of one of Rome's other foes, Mithridates, who did just that. - The Irony of the Man Who Made Himself Immune To Poison, Ripley's Believe It or Not!

The Sisters Gruff
Billie Gruffington was not a fan of many things. The very small town she lived in. The fact it wasn't near Paris, France, but rather, the one in Tennessee. Broccoli, the way her oldest sister Iris chewed said broccoli (really any food), the upsetting fact she was the youngest, her elementary school, yes, the list went on and on. In fact, Billie wore a scowl on her face most days, even more than the next door neighbor, Clarence, the crotchety old man often seen on his rocking chair sipping on his morning coffee every morning.

Deja Vu Until The Plot Twist. Top Story - January 2025. Content Warning.
No, this is not a new series. I'm making this point more for myself, because with this being a new show, part of me is itching on doing a review. I just don't have the time, but I did not want to shy away from a chance to write about what I think will be an amazing show.

in the alley are the things hidden. Content Warning.
Quick Note: the photo has been edited. Nothing major except changing it from color to black and white. Over a year ago, during a rather unseasonably warm winter's day, I went to play tourist with a friend in a nearby beach front town. There, I passed this alley, something I had done a hundred times before. Before this day, I merely glimpsed down it, and not once can I recall seeing anything that made me do a double take. If I did, I never took a picture of it.
