What If...Instead Of A Bear... It Was Coyotes?. Top Story - August 2024.
I have waited for the train to slow down on the philosophical debate of Would You Rather A Man Or Bear In The Woods I waited mostly because I was busy being entertained by reading the comment arguments, and seeing men flail, gnash their teeth angrily, and thrash against what is society's view of their gender as a whole. I have seen men agree with the women, saying that there are men out there who are worse than bears (usually those guys are the cool ones, yah?). I have seen women, who by the profile pictures and their lifestyle photos tell me they wouldn't survive just walking in the forest, talk about how they wouldn't be scared of the bear and be able to make friends with it before a man was able to control himself.

The Neighbors Are Torturing And Killing My Cats
Yesterday was supposed to be a good day. As I left the house to go do adult things, I just knew it was going to be a good day. And I'm not usually wrong about these things. But yesterday, July 29th, 2024... I was very very wrong.

The Future Could Be Hungry - Good Thing I've Started A Homestead
Earlier this year, the price of eggs was all people could talk about. I'm not sure about other countries but America is struggling. Inflation has driven the price of even the most basic foods to prices that are hurting people. And it's driving a lot of people to take food solutions to money problems seriously.

5 Kitchen Items That Save Me Time
Cooking is apparently making a comeback. At least I hope it is. For those like me, who wish to feed their children relatively healthy, cooking is the most affordable option (especially in America). With fast food rapidly declining in quality and increasing in price, and pre-packaged food companies all beginning to have less than reputable histories of harmful products (as well as inflation), more and more people are going back to basics.

Feminism Has Lost Her Identity
Ladies and Gentlemen....welcome to my unpopular opinion.... again. I remember learning about the women's rights movement in school. I remember not understanding how the world had come to the conclusion that women were not equal to men, and why women had to fight for the right to work in the first place.

Would a Sword Be Stronger Than My Pen?
This piece is dedicated to Francisco Iglesias on Medium. He and I had such a healthy conversation, and we challenged ourselves to write an article like this one each. I'm so glad he gave me his time with our conversation, and I hope that I've helped inspire him in some way.

I Respected You - Until You Disrespected Me With Your "Good Intentions"
