Signs Your Wisdom Teeth Are Emerging
Despite their wisdom name, wisdom teeth are not really wise.
Do you feel a bit exposed to the end of the jaws? Wisdom teeth form the final set of molars that grow. They are no longer needed for proper eating and speech processes. That is why many people prefer to get them removed. When they appear out of the gums, they start to move and change the position of your teeth and Jaw. Do you know "What Happens If You Don’t Get Your Wisdom Teeth Removed"?
In most circumstances, wisdom teeth will grow at various angles or do not have sufficient space to grow. Your dentist may suggest getting it removed if they:
- They stay entirely hidden under the gums. If they do not emerge normally, they will most probably become affected by your Jaw, which can lead to severe infection. It can also result in a cyst that can cause harm to other teeth or your jaw bone.
- Only emerge partially. The area would be hard to locate in these patients and correctly clean. It draws illness-provoking bacteria that are presumably the cause of oral infections.
- They will compress neighboring teeth. If your wisdom teeth don't have the proper area to develop, they will crowd and cause damage to nearby teeth.
Don't need to worry if:
- They are healthy.
- You can entirely clean them during the routine.
- They are completely emitted.
- They are in the correct position and will not disturb your bite.
Many dentists advise the removal before their emergence. Dentists suggest that patients can get removal earlier in life to make the restorative process more rapid and available before the bone and tooth become fully formed.
That is the reason why there are a lot of young people who experience wisdom tooth extraction before the time they start to cause trouble.
Symptoms You Need to Extract Your Wisdom Teeth
Many problems related to wisdom teeth appear in people between 15 to 25. A small portion of people older than 30 are likely to experience problems. Here are some of the most common symptoms that you need to get removed:
1. Cysts
When they have been ignored for a long time, cysts may grow within your mouth. Cysts are sacs of fluid that can end up crashing and inducing damage to your mouth and jaw. It can also indicate that they are about to come.
2. Swelling Inside
As it begins to arise from the gums, it may lead to gums swelling. Your gums may start to look reddish and bulge in specific parts, causing it tough to maintain your routine.
3. Exuding Blood
Alongside rashes, you can also witness the back of your mouth bleeding after cleaning.
4. Discomfort
A sensation of discomfort in the rear of your mouth is among the most commonly conveyed signs. The pain can persist.
5. Aches
It can not just cause discomfort or issues within your mouth. The pain is not limited to the mouth only. The ache you experience in your jaw can go up in your head, causing headaches or earaches.
6. Sinus-related problems
If your wisdom teeth start to expand and develop in your lower jaws, you may feel the pressure in your sinuses. It may cause sinus headaches, pain, and congestion.
7. Blocked or uneven teeth
Even if there's no area to adjust them, wisdom teeth continue to expand. If your mouth is crowded, the pressure can cause your teeth to move incorrect directions and can cause them to be crooked.
When it develops fully, the dentist will usually conduct an x-ray scan to decide whether they'll crowd the adjacent teeth.
It is a good reason why it's fundamental to have your wisdom teeth looked at when they begin to show signs of coming out. If you let them expand and they reach the point where other teeth are crooked, you may have to consider braces.
8. Ache and tightness in the Jaw
If your wisdom teeth are positioned incorrectly, they can alter how your teeth engage. It can be excruciating and cause stiffness and discomfort, making it difficult to close and open your mouth.
You must consult your dentist, as the misalignment of your jaws can cause more severe problems.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

Social Media Giants Announce Major Policy Changes
In 2026, leading social media companies shocked users and governments alike by announcing sweeping policy changes aimed at reshaping how online platforms operate. These reforms focus on user privacy, content moderation, artificial intelligence, and digital well-being. Companies such as Meta, X (formerly Twitter), Google-owned YouTube, and TikTok revealed new guidelines designed to respond to growing public criticism over misinformation, data misuse, and the mental health impact of social media. The policy changes come after years of pressure from regulators and civil society groups demanding greater accountability from tech corporations. Governments around the world have introduced stricter digital laws, forcing platforms to rethink how they manage user data and online content. The new policies mark one of the most significant shifts in the history of social media. One of the most important changes involves stronger content moderation rules. Social media giants announced they will use advanced artificial intelligence systems to detect harmful content such as hate speech, violent material, and misinformation more quickly. These systems will work alongside human review teams to ensure accuracy and fairness. Companies stated that their goal is to reduce the spread of false information without limiting freedom of expression. Critics, however, worry that automated moderation could still make mistakes and unfairly silence certain voices. Another major reform focuses on user privacy and data protection. Platforms have promised to give users more control over their personal information. New tools allow individuals to see exactly how their data is collected, stored, and used for advertising. Some companies have even announced plans to reduce targeted advertising for minors and limit tracking across different apps and websites. This shift reflects growing awareness about digital surveillance and the need for ethical data practices. Social media companies also introduced new policies to address mental health and digital addiction. Features such as automatic screen-time reminders, content filtering, and healthier algorithm designs aim to reduce overexposure to harmful material. Teen users will now see fewer posts related to extreme beauty standards or risky behavior. Experts believe these changes could improve emotional well-being and reduce anxiety and depression linked to excessive social media use. Another significant update is related to political and election-related content. Platforms have announced stricter rules for political advertising and clearer labeling of sponsored posts. Fact-checking partnerships with independent organizations will be expanded to reduce the spread of fake news during elections. This move follows criticism that social media companies failed to protect democratic processes in the past. Artificial intelligence plays a central role in the new policy framework. Social media giants will now label AI-generated images, videos, and text to prevent deception. Deepfake detection tools are being introduced to identify manipulated media that could be used for scams or propaganda. This is especially important as AI-generated content becomes more realistic and widespread. The business impact of these policy changes is also significant. Advertising strategies may shift as companies reduce data collection and focus on transparent marketing. Smaller businesses may benefit from clearer rules, while influencers and content creators will need to adapt to stricter guidelines. Some creators fear that increased moderation could affect their reach, while others welcome a safer and more respectful online environment. Public reaction has been mixed. Many users support stronger protections against harmful content and data misuse. Parents and educators especially praise the focus on youth safety. However, some activists argue that the changes do not go far enough and demand full transparency in how algorithms work. Free speech advocates worry about censorship, while privacy supporters insist that these reforms are long overdue. Technology experts say these policy shifts represent a turning point in the digital era. Social media platforms are no longer just entertainment tools; they are global communication systems with political, cultural, and economic power. With billions of users worldwide, their decisions shape public opinion and social behavior. Despite the positive intentions, challenges remain. Enforcing policies consistently across different countries with different laws and cultures is difficult. Balancing user rights with safety will continue to be a complex task. Companies must also invest heavily in technology and staff to make these reforms effective. In conclusion, the announcement of major policy changes by social media giants marks a new chapter in the evolution of the internet. By focusing on privacy, mental health, misinformation, and ethical AI, these platforms are attempting to rebuild public trust and create safer digital spaces. Whether these reforms succeed will depend on transparency, enforcement, and continued dialogue with users and governments. One thing is certain: social media in 2026 will not look the same as it did in the past, and these policy changes will shape the future of online communication for years to come.

Why Black History Matters in America?
The United States of America is celebrating their 250th anniversary in 2026. I'm proud to be an American and as someone who was born here, I wouldn't imagine myself living anywhere else. This is a country where opportunities are possible. Where anyone can be successful in anything they desire to do. Equality, community, and togetherness are the backbones of what America is and should be about. However, we have an administration who wants to erase and disregard those who have made positive, meaningful impacts in our country, specifically Black figures, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, and Maya Angelou. President Trump and his administration have been constantly complaining and fighting against what they call the "Woke agenda". They use this excuse as a distraction from other issues they refuse to address, such as the high cost of living, climate change, and inflation. That equality is dividing America, when in reality, it's bringing us together. Being woke is not tied to a specific political party. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, you can still care about other people and their plights. Compassion and empathy for others isn't tied to a political party, either. We were taught as children to treat others the way we want to be treated and not judge others because they're different from us. Caring about others isn't a personal attack on your beliefs. It doesn't make you any less of a person. People who are easily offended over African American figures, past or present, or anything related to it, are grasping at straws. Current and future generations need to know who people like Harriet Tubman and Shirley Chisholm were, especially in the classroom. Black History is part of American History. It should be recognized, not hidden or forgotten. Besides, you can't shield children from everything, just because your feelings are easily hurt.

The Piggy Project
I’ve had so many names in this life I lose track of which ones were ever really mine and which ones I wore because someone needed me to. Some were handed to me before I had words to refuse them, before I knew what they meant, before I knew I could say no. Most weren’t meant to hurt. That doesn’t mean they didn’t leave marks. Marks that told me who I belong to, who I am by way of who claims me, recognizes me in the good and bad, who walks beside me.
