Fifty Shades of. . . Why, Exactly?
A blunt critique
The Fifty Shades of Grey franchise has been nothing short of shocking since its release. From books to films, the story is less of a nod to the BDSM community and more of a glamorization of outdated “romance” tropes that show women that love should hurt. Highly would not recommend.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

A Jerk and an Idiot Meet in a Bar
A Jerk and an Idiot Meet in a Bar Well not in a bar, per se, social media. After all, it is the bar of our modern times. It’s where we hook up with friends, family, dates, or trysts. Places like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and others, all designed for social interaction with anonymity and limited consequences, for bad behavior. Often these entities dole out consequences to parties that are not causing a problem, and give a blind eye to serious problems.

FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.
