Ode to the Working Man/Woman
An ode to the working man and women. We all work in some ways, whether it be someone like the image working in a workshop with wood to someone working in computer or medical lab, or a teacher, nurse, writer or homemaker. We all work using all our specific and special talents. Whether working with wood, codes, medications/specimens, children, patients or pen and paper and a little of everything above we are all workers.

The Writing Teacher Two
First, I do not think this will be a top story. It is just something that I want to share that kind of goes along with the previous essay. The many writing teachers that I have had throughout my education from elementary to middle school and high school clear through college and graduate school seemed always to remind us that good writing starts off with the perfect sentence then moving on to the perfect paragraph to the perfect first paper.

Winnie
tiddle, diddle um a song he sings many times just for fun too. (Winnie the Pooh is one of favorite characters ever since early elementary school. Pooh makes you think about things in a different way. Line one is a little song he sings while he 'exercises' or just 'sitting and thinking' or as Line three reads just for fun. Learning and helping is the thing to do is what I got and get every time I read 'Winnie the Pooh', 'The House at Pooh Corner' and the poetry books 'When We Were Young' and 'Now We Are Six'.)

Doors
doors side by side which one open or close In or out please. (Not sure on this one. I saw this picture of two doors side by side and wondered which side do people enter or leave or going in and out. What happens when a child goes out one side and the other side and forgets to close the door but sees that the one side is closed and thinks they shut it when they didn't. Two doors side by side could be confusing at times. Maybe that is why I am not too sure of this one.) Please comment.

Recognizing Toxic Behaviors in Relationships
**Subtitle: My Journey Through Understanding Healthy Dynamics** It was an ordinary Tuesday when I first began to notice the signs. I was scrolling through social media, watching a video about toxic relationships. The presenter listed several warning signs. I felt a knot in my stomach as I realized that I had been in a relationship with someone who embodied many of those traits.

AfrAId: a horror movie that confuses rather than frightens. AI-Generated.
The horror film AfrAId, directed by Chris Weitz, has recently been released to a wave of critical disapproval. The movie attempts to explore the unsettling implications of artificial intelligence within a family setting but ultimately falls short due to its lack of coherent storytelling and character development.

Modern Technology
Let’s talk about modern technology. I mean, where do I even begin? It’s like having a best friend who’s also kind of a jerk. You love them, can’t imagine life without them, but every now and then, they do something that makes you want to throw your phone (or laptop, or tablet) out the nearest window. Sound familiar?

Celebrity Gossip
Let’s get one thing straight—I’m not really into celebrity gossip. Or at least that’s what I tell myself. I mean, I have more important things to do, like work, adulting, and binge-watching Netflix. But if I’m being honest, I can’t help but get sucked into the latest Hollywood drama every now and then. It’s like junk food for the brain—completely unnecessary, but oh-so-satisfying.
