On April 9th Add a Little Unicorn Sparkle to Your Day
There's a reason April 9th is one of my favorite days of the year. It's the only day I can get away with wearing my unicorn onesie to work or shopping, or out to dinner. For the other 364 days that aren't dedicated to celebrating unicorns, I settle for wearing unicorn shoes. (For the record, I actually have two pairs of unicorn shoes.)

What Supplies To Collect For Food Security
"Start with beans and rice and then, rice and beans". Ok, rice and beans are a good start, but they're not all you should be collecting. As I mentioned in my precious articles, food is not just about providing the basic fuel to run your body. It serves an emotional support aspect too. If you honestly think that you can last for months eating the same plain mean again and again, well, go ahead. No, seriously. I challenge you to make yourself eat just rice and beans, breakfast, lunch and dinner every. single. day. If you last two weeks I'll be impressed. If you last a month without starting to feel worn down and like life has a little less colour in it, I'm calling you a liar.

Mac McDonald, the Holy Trinity and Identity Crises
The show It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia has masterfully crafted a complex and ever developing portrayal of identity with its character Mac McDonald over the course of the seasons. Starting as a devout Catholic with morals rooted in homophobia and developing into a layered and nuanced character who struggles to find his place as an out, proudly gay Christian, Mac McDonald has gone through countless metamorphoses and has frequently been able to touch the audience closely with his experiences across the show. Personally, I've always found his character to be fascinating, and I've often found myself pondering the relationship between the different aspects of his identity struggles; notably, with his father, his faith, and his personal identity. In this essay, I will break down my theory that Mac's character struggles are linked closely to the structure of the Holy Trinity and attempt to delve into his psyche to support my thesis.
