Serpentine irises flicker over my skin
And I know that within your mind exists some wicked sin
And you wish to touch me
To own and taste my flesh but will you be strong enough to bend my will with but a caress?
And can you take your iniquity and spin it into something good?
Perhaps the tainting of your nails will draw me to live again
But you see there exists a penalty
When you live in such a way
Everything that you do and say
It will come back to your side and if the darkness you exist in should happen to collide
With such light that draws you in do you think you will succeed in snuffing out that which you have never been?

The New Celibacy: Not Religious-Centered
The conventional narrative of celibacy is often one of religious piety or a temporary state before marriage. But a new and powerful movement is emerging among young women, where celibacy is a conscious choice and a form of protest. This isn’t about shaming sexuality; it’s about exercising agency and autonomy in a world that often seeks to control them. This modern celibacy, or “volcel” (voluntary celibacy), is born from a desire for emotional safety and a rejection of transactional relationships.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
