Note: If you would like a content warning please scroll to the bottom of the page. Recently, I made a chapbook titled Cognitive Dissonance available to the world on a whim.

The Unspoken Side of Tinder
As soon as my friend Laura downloaded Tinder, her life changed completely. Suddenly, she had a sea of potential dates at her fingertips, each one more exciting than the last. She went on dates with guys who were charming, funny, and seemingly perfect. But as she immersed herself deeper into the world of Tinder, she discovered the unspoken side of the app - the world of hookup culture and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

An open letter
I have always been quite vocal about my battles with mental health and never really focussed on my physical health issues, I suffer with a lot of what is known as invisible illnesses, by far the worst though is degenerative spinal disorder,gradually it has robbed me of the use of my legs the restrictions of my arms and now most recently issues with moving my head. Putting a brave face on everything is something I was conditioned to do as a child as were many of my generation.Over the years it has become harder and harder to do though. When you don't have much interactions with the outside world you start to see when you do venture out how sorry the world truly has become. Following a trip to my local supermarket on my mobility scooter I was nearly hit by a car and then sworn at by the driver for crossing the road in front of her, the fact that she had not indicated escaped her notice and even though I was up on two wheels it was hard to be angry when someone had rushed to my aid to help me,or so I thought, in actual fact the individual took the time to pick my pocket and steal my mobile phone....in the week since this has happened my disorder has progressed yet again due to the knock that I took, by far more worrying though is the fact that there is now no hope. Whenever I was out I never really pictured myself as vulnerable or cpmpletely disabled as I had some use of my arms,in fact I was a lot better off than a lot of other people in the world,I wore a smile on my face and tried my best to make light of everything. Now I can't, I've always had hope that at some point humanity would return to the human race and not be a legend of times gone past. We as a society have managed to achieve such a love of money and wealth that we pit ourselves against each other wanting what others have,more money,a nicer house,a bigger car or to feel superioir in some way no matter what or who gets in the way. Looing at the world now through changed eyes I despair for what my children will be left with when my life is done. There is very few acts of genuine kindness in the world unless it involves animals,but aren't we animls too? Just apparently better evolved than other species and yet they outstrip us at every turn on caring for their own.

Why facts don’t change our minds
There are a number of reasons why facts alone may not be enough to change someone's mind on a particular issue: 1. Confirmation bias: People tend to seek out information that confirms their existing beliefs and ignore information that contradicts them. This means that even when presented with facts that contradict their beliefs, they may discount or dismiss them.

The ethics of confession
John had been conveying confidential for a really long time, a mysterious that weighed intensely on his heart. He had committed an error from quite a while ago, one that he was profoundly embarrassed about and that had tormented him from that point forward. At last, he concluded that he was unable to hush up about it any longer. He expected to admit and look for pardoning.
