The photograph that saved her life
The train roared past, its steel wheels screeching against the tracks, drowning out the sounds of the bustling platform. Amidst the crowd stood a girl—thin, pale, almost invisible. Her name was Alina, a 19-year-old who looked more like a shadow than a person. She clutched a tattered schoolbag to her chest and stared blankly at the yellow line just inches from the edge.

Robin
Legend has it that the red on the robin's breast was dyed crimson by the blood of the Lord Jesus. (I) In the late 18th century, the nation of Huilaitede underwent a revolutionary transformation. The old aristocracy was forcibly suppressed, gradually withdrawing their sharp edges, biding their time for a comeback. Yet, the momentum of the new nobility surged like a torrent, causing the old nobles, huddled behind rocks counting their coins, to gasp in dismay. They finally realized that the world was no longer dictated by bejeweled young masters and misses.

What is a Pendname? Exploring the Wisdom of a Forgotten Genre
In the vast realm of classical literature, particularly in Islamic and Persianate cultures, the “Pendname” occupies a unique place. The word “Pendname” (or Pandnāma) literally translates to “Book of Counsel” or “Book of Advice.” These works are moralistic and didactic texts, usually written in verse, offering guidance on how to live a virtuous, wise, and balanced life. Although once widely read and respected, pendnames have gradually faded from the spotlight, yet their timeless wisdom remains deeply relevant today.

Starmer faces growing Labour rebellion over welfare cuts
Starmer is confronted with a growing labor revolt over welfare cuts. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is facing increasing pressure from within his own party as a growing number of Labour MPs voice opposition to his stance on welfare cuts. Within a few weeks of Labour's historic victory in the general election, the internal rebellion has revealed deep divisions within the party. Starmer's decision to maintain some welfare restrictions imposed by the previous Conservative government, particularly the two-child benefit cap, is at the heart of the dissent. Despite pre-election hopes that a Labour government would reverse the policy—seen by critics as punitive and harmful to low-income families—Starmer has signalled there will be no immediate change.

The Worst Advice I Ever Took (And Lived to Laugh About)
I’ve always believed that life teaches its greatest lessons in two ways: through wise mentors or, more often, through terrible advice that leaves you thinking, “Well… that was stupid.”

How Social Media Fuels Hatred and What We Can Do to Stop It
Social media has become such a big part of our daily lives. We use it to stay connected with friends and family, watch fun videos, and learn about the world. It can be a beautiful space for sharing ideas and making connections. But sadly, it can also be a space where anger and hate spread like wildfire. Have you ever noticed how quickly one hateful comment can turn into a long thread of insults? Or how one piece of fake news can divide friends and families? Social media has a darker side, and it’s making it harder for people to understand and respect each other. Let’s take a closer look at why this happens — and what we can do about it. The Power of Anonymity One big reason why social media can be a breeding ground for hate is the power of anonymity. In everyday life, when you speak to someone face-to-face, you’re more likely to watch your words. You can see their reaction, and you understand that your words have an impact. But online, things are different. People can hide behind usernames, cartoon avatars, or fake profiles. This makes them feel “invisible” and gives them a sense of boldness. It’s almost like putting on a mask. Suddenly, saying hurtful things becomes easier because you don’t have to take responsibility for it. This anonymity can turn an ordinary person into an online bully. It allows people to say things they’d never say in person — and that’s how hate finds its way into comment sections, posts, and private messages every day. The Role of Algorithms Another reason why social media fuels hate is how platforms are built. Social media platforms use algorithms — computer programs that decide what you see. These algorithms aren’t neutral; their job is to keep you engaged for as long as possible. If you watch one video about a controversial topic, the site will recommend more and more similar content. Gradually, your feed becomes a bubble — an “echo chamber” where you only see one side of an argument. This makes it harder to understand or accept different views. With this design, anger and hate can grow because you’re only exposed to information that confirms your feelings, making you more and more convinced that those who disagree are enemies. What starts as a click can end as a deeply rooted belief — sometimes built on hate. The Viral Nature of Conflict Have you noticed how quickly anger spreads online? Social media doesn’t just carry hateful ideas — it supercharges them. Posts that spark strong emotions, especially anger, tend to get more likes, shares, and comments. In short, hatred goes viral. Why? Because platforms reward engagement. An outrageous or hateful post can easily draw a huge audience. The more people interact with it, the more the algorithm shows it to others. Suddenly, one person’s hateful words can reach millions across the globe. It doesn’t matter If the post is true or false. What matters is its ability to grab attention. As a result, anger becomes a currency, making social media a place where hate can grow quickly and easily. The Impact on Society Hate online doesn’t stay online for long. What starts as a hateful post can lead to real-life discrimination, bullying, and even violence. Social media can deepen divisions between people of different races, religions, nations, and political beliefs. People targeted online often feel scared, ashamed, or isolated. They may struggle with depression, anxiety, or a sense of hopelessness. Meanwhile, those spreading hate justify their behavior as “free speech” or “just a joke,” ignoring the pain and damage caused by their words. In this way, online hatred doesn’t just affect individuals — it damages society as a whole. It makes people wary of one another, and creates a climate where suspicion and aggression replace trust and understanding. The Role of Fake News and Disinformation Hate online doesn’t always come from “real” people. Sometimes it’s fueled by fake news or disinformation — false stories that are created to mislead or manipulate. These stories often target certain groups, making them seem dangerous or responsible for society’s problems. For example, a manipulated video or an out-of-context headline can make a person or group appear hateful. When this content spreads across social media, it quickly damages reputations and stokes anger. People tend to believe stories that match their emotions and beliefs, making it easy for disinformation to spread. In this way, social media platforms can unintentionally become weapons for spreading hate, making it harder to separate fact from fiction. The Role of Influencers and Celebrities Social media has created a new type of public figure — influencers. They have millions of followers and the ability to shape opinions. When influencers use their platforms responsibly, they can educate, uplift, and unite people. But when they spread hateful ideas or make careless remarks, the damage can be huge. Their followers often adopt the influencer’s attitude, repeating their words and spreading their ideas further. Suddenly, one person’s hateful comment can multiply, reaching millions within hours. It’s a reminder that social media gives certain people a lot of power — and that power needs to be used wisely. The Human Cost of Online Hatred Behind every screen is a person. The person posting hate may forget this, and so might the person reading it. But online hatred impacts all of us. Targets of online hate experience fear, sadness, and isolation. They may lose their sense of belonging or self-worth. Even those spreading hate aren’t unaffected. Living in a space filled with anger and aggression can damage a person’s ability to trust and connect. Hatred online doesn’t just hurt its targets — it damages the person spreading it, too. What We Can Do to Reduce Hatred Online Although the situation might seem overwhelming, it’s not hopeless. We can all play a role in making social media a space for understanding and connection. Here are a few ways: 1. Be Mindful of What You Share Before clicking the “share” button, ask yourself: Is this true? Will this hurt someone? Will it make the world a better place? 2. Practice Respect and Empathy Remember that every person online has feelings, struggles, and a story. Treat others with the respect you’d want for yourself. 3. Educate Yourself and Others Learn how to spot fake news, and educate others about it too. Being informed is one of the best ways to combat hate and disinformation. 4. Report and Block Hate Speech Most platforms have tools for reporting and blocking hateful content. Use them. They help create a safer space for everyone. 5. Hold Influencers Accountable Encourage influencers and public figures to use their platforms responsibly. Let them know that spreading hate is never okay. 6. Support Targets of Online Hatred If you see someone being bullied online, stand up for them. Sometimes a kind word can make all the difference. The Road to a Better Social Media Culture Social media itself isn’t the enemy — it’s how we use it that determines its impact. It can divide and destroy, or it can unite and uplift. The choice is ours. Imagine a world where social media brings people closer together, regardless of their background, beliefs, or nationality. Imagine a space where understanding replaces anger, and respect replaces judgment. That’s the world we can create, one post at a time. Conclusion Social media has changed the way we connect, learn, and communicate. But with that change comes a responsibility — to ourselves, to others, and to society as a whole. We must recognize the ways in which platforms can fuel hatred, and we must work together to make them places of belonging and understanding. Each of us has a role to play. By being mindful of what we say, sharing with care, and treating others with compassion, we can help social media live up to its promise as a tool for connection and belonging. Together, we can make it a space where hate has no place — and where kindness can truly flourish.

Diversity and Inclusion
1) Well, first of all, I'd say "Hello!" to all of you, guys! Let us now In a village neither near nor far, suspended between epochs and ideologies, stood a colossal mirror in the heart of the city square. It was not of glass but of consciousness—a mirror that reflected not faces, but identities. And this village, quaint in form yet profound in intellect, was known as Variegata: a place where no two eyes beheld the world the same way, and no two minds dreamed the same dream.

Can Humans Generate Water?
✦ Introduction: The Tear We Forgot Water is more than H₂O. It’s a living poem, an ancient whisper, a divine signature on the parchment of Earth. It runs through rivers, veins, and dreams. But what if we lost it all? Could humans—masters of machines, marvels of modernity—generate what the heavens once gifted for free?
