My Secret Wishlist
While everyone else searches for Christmas presents, my eyes seek the glimmer in another’s gaze. Online, IRL, rushed reflections—

Feliz Nevermind
There’s no presents under the late put up tree No one taking up the seats at the empty table It’s going to just be another day, another struggle

Mondo Trasho
John Waters is often celebrated as the "Pope of Trash," a title bestowed by none other than William S. Burroughs—a man well-versed in the perplexing intersection of art and garbage. With Mondo Trasho, Waters plunges gleefully into that liminal space, creating a ragged, audacious spectacle set to a scratchy Sixties mixtape of novelty tunes and forgotten audio oddities. Thanks to music licensing issues, the film has yet to see a proper DVD release, preserving its underground mystique and frustrating its fans.

Representation feeds imagination
São Paulo-Brasil, 1998. I was ten years old. Fourth grade. Every school day, my girlfriends and I would get together between classes to talk. I remember this day so clearly. It was an extra important day: Chiquititas, the most popular teen girls tv series at that time, had announced an open casting call for its second season, and they were looking for girls, like us. They were all excited and making plans for how they would submit their applications. I was not.

Ensuring Fairness and Inclusivity in Women’s Sports
Growing up, I was raised in a faith that taught me to love everyone, regardless of their journey on this earth. My religious upbringing instilled in me the importance of compassion, empathy, and inclusiveness toward all people, no matter their background or identity. In recent years, the debate surrounding the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports has grown increasingly contentious. Both sides present compelling arguments: advocates for inclusion emphasize the importance of equality, while critics raise concerns about fairness and safety in athletic competition. A balanced and equitable solution that respects the rights of all athletes while maintaining the integrity of women's sports may lie in the creation of distinct subgroups for transgender and cisgender athletes. This proposal has the potential to embrace inclusion without compromising fairness, fostering a sporting environment that promotes respect and opportunity for everyone.

My First Love
The sun dappled through the overhang of leaves, creating moving shaded areas on the well used wooden seats of the old library. Aryan, a tranquil kid with a universe of contemplations behind his scenes, was immersed in an exhausted duplicate of "Pride and Bias." His heart beat with an odd musicality, a blend of expectation and apprehension, as he sat tight for her.

Why The Idea Of Identity Is Broken
Introduction In a world where identity shapes how we see ourselves and how others perceive us, the concept of identity itself often feels restrictive and inadequate. Whether defined by nationality, religion, gender, or profession, identity seems to simplify the complexity of who we are into narrow categories. But what if the way we approach identity is fundamentally flawed? This article explores the challenges of modern identity, its limitations, and how we might rethink what it means to truly be ourselves.

Embracing The Good Life
We often hear that success is measured in wealth, fame, or professional achievement. We see images of people building empires, achieving greatness, and climbing the social ladder. These stories dominate the media, creating an illusion of what it means to live a fulfilling life. But what if the true key to happiness and health has been hiding in plain sight all along?

Corruption in this day an age
The world is a corrupt place, there is really no doubt about that at this point. The only difference is the extent to which it is permitted, I’ve always known that so it doesn’t surprise me anymore, where the difference really comes in is knowing just how far its extends. For developed countries, it’s mostly found at high levels of the society, with the politicians and the ruling class, while everybody else is kept in this web of lies where they believe there is justice (at least most of the time). But in underdeveloped countries, the corruption is much more permissible, with even the traffic police being openly corrupt, and the small businesses being corrupt.
