My love my strength my queen
My Love, My Strength, My Queen My love, I don’t tell you enough how much you amaze me. Through every storm, through every heartbreak, through every moment the world tried to break you, you stood. Not just for yourself, but for us—for our family, for me, even when I didn’t deserve it.

A vintage typewriter
This critique and acrostic poem will show readers why I chose this image for most of my writing. Old-fashioned typing mode for the sound it made clickity-clack or something like that. Learning to type material for others to read one page on paper at a time. Deleting by erasing words and phrases with correcting tape. Taking a person back to an easier time when writing was work at a somewhat slower pace. Yearning to get typed and published on paper. Praying the manuscript would not get lost in transit. Expecting news about your work and getting a letter on paper. Writing to share ideas again, one page at a time. Reading a printed page of our work.

The Impact of Cancel Culture on Freedom of Expression
The Impact of Cancel Culture on Freedom of Expression In recent years, "cancel culture" has emerged as a leading term in our social and political lexicon. Cancel culture means the collective action of publicly shaming, boycotting, or "cancelling" people, brands, or institutions based on an assumed wrongdoing or offending behavior. Although cancel culture may be effective for social responsibility, it indeed presents a threat to the decline of freedom of speech, an important tenet of democratic culture.

The Unprogressive Paradox
Quintessentially, the lifespan of a human, of an individual is tied down by strings of curtailment, more than freedom to live and what to dos. Further, when it comes down to restrictions, the word human could be outlooked to get to the female gender in the society. There are more strings attached to a woman, she is down sided with more restrictions. Their freedom is compacted as much as possible it could be for the mankind. When considered with greater depth, we discover this stance to be spiritually build in the politics of life. Time has outlived our thoughts and ideals. Even as time, with years of evolution down the lane, could heal some of their domineering pastness of ideologies, a majority of us has continued to live in times of conditioned thinking. One has always passeddown the purviews of those that passed it down to them. A consequence of the barbaric thinking mentality stemming from a combination of dominance hierarchies and social competition. And us humans cling to such long lost bigotry culture with prestige, holding tight with the hard and fast rules of “the epithet of femineity”- not realizing the paradox. They envisage the buttressed ideals of an “ideal” society. Such inheritance confides to be a constant reminder of the bygone ill-fettered culture. Such a sub structured dogma impediment the ascent of gender egalitarianism, more with women equality. Beyond the idea equality it suggests progress, and let the progress sow seeds from within family units. It should be reflected in even the most fundamental of things. To start with, such a progress initiates only when we learn to identify women as individuals. Such ingenuity coming up from families will mirror the edges of society, leading way to a better fraternity with finer values and better critical thinking and vision. Change is requisite to time, and change fashions from within us.

The Bar for Fathers Is in Hell
Warning: I’m About to Be a Hater. Listen, I tried to mind my business. I really did. But the internet wouldn’t let me. I was scrolling, just looking for a funny meme or a cute dog video, when suddenly—BAM. I got hit with the most unserious confession I’ve ever seen.

The Philosophy of Nero
Emperor Nero is often remembered for his infamous reign, marked by excess, cruelty, and debauchery. In popular culture, he is the embodiment of tyranny, infamous for allegedly "fiddling while Rome burned" and for committing gruesome acts of violence, including the murder of his mother and wife. Yet, beneath this bloodstained legacy lies a more complex philosophical and psychological narrative that reveals deeper themes of power, perception, and personal struggle. Understanding the philosophy of Nero requires a closer look at his life, his leadership, and the ideas he may have entertained.

English
"English" at the Todd Haimes Theatre is a play that you will either like or not like. As a Broadway transfer, this 2023 Pulitzer Prize winner for drama gives its message very subtly. In Sanaz Toossi's play, you get the plot, not straight away, but in the words undertones.

#Stop work order. AI-Generated.
Dear Curious Reader, When things might look broken , I’ve learned that hope can be a source of strength. Even when it feels like everything is falling apart, holding onto hope can help us find the courage to keep going. Sometimes, hope isn’t about expecting things to immediately improve but trusting that we have the resilience to handle whatever comes next.

The Four Seasons
We need all the four seasons to balance out many basic aspects of living our lives. The leaves to me state the seasons as change. The green is for Spring and the renewal of living for the plants to the animals to even us humans. This is the time of planting and the organization of new projects. The yellow one for me is dealing with Summer when the organizing is complete it's time for maintenance in the many forms as in working through those projects started in the Spring. The reddish-orange leaf for me stands for Autumn and getting ready for the harvest season and storing for the Winter and getting closer and preparing to finish those various projects started in he Spring. The brown leaf on the end for me stands for the Winter season and the completion of the chores as well as finishing the various projects started in the Spring.
