Identity
The Girl Who loved Comfort
Title: The Girl Who Loved Comfort In a small city where dreams were whispered among the hum of traffic and the glow of streetlights, there lived a young woman named Grace. She was beautiful, with a cascade of chestnut hair, large, expressive eyes, and a smile that could light up the darkest of rooms. But Grace had one big flaw—she hated work. In fact, if it were up to her, she would spend every single day doing absolutely nothing.

BEYOND SILENCE: TOWARDS A FEMINIST CRITIQUE OF HISTORICAL NARRATIVES
Recovering these experiences and integrating them into official accounts not only enriches our understanding of history but also reveals how women have actively participated in movements for civil and social rights. For instance, Angela Davis's book *Women, Race, & Class* (1981) examines the crucial role that women of color played in the suffrage movement, highlighting intersections between gender, race, and class.

If
Introduction This is just a piece on how we still make assumptions about people and their pronouns. I am CIS/Straight whatever you want to call me, but one of the problems is that He/She/Mr/Mrs/Miss immediately box people for the convenience of society and that is not something I like or agree with.

The Fall of Arin
Arin was a man of great talents, respected by his peers and feared by his rivals. In the grand city of Valedor, he had earned a reputation as one of the most brilliant architects. His buildings were not just structures; they were works of art, marvels that inspired awe. Arin's name became synonymous with genius, and he basked in the glory that came with it.But as his fame grew, so did his pride. No longer did he listen to advice or critique.

My Coming-Out Story
I had been on an Interrail trip in 1984 in an attempt to widen my horizons, to try things I never did before, and to demonstrate to my parents, that I wasn't their little boy anymore and could make my own decisions. My planning had nothing to do with my sexuality, but I should soon learn something else!

An (Aro)Ace in the Hole
Sex and romance have always been touchy subjects for me. That is not to say I'm the type to run screaming from the room when a kissing scene appears on TV or to gag at a picture of genitals in health class. While I've never minded approaching either subject from an intellectual standpoint, I can't relate from an emotional standpoint, and the thought of actively participating in either makes me uncomfortable. I view sex and romance the way some people view skydiving, fun in theory but not in practice.

Represented. Content Warning.
In recent years, the visibility of LGBTQ+ individuals and their stories in mainstream media has grown exponentially. This shift has fostered greater understanding and empathy across diverse audiences. One particular moment that profoundly deepened my appreciation for the LGBTQ+ experience occurred when I watched the film Moonlight, directed by Barry Jenkins. This powerful coming-of-age story, centered on the life of a young Black man grappling with his identity and sexuality, became a catalyst for my understanding of the complexities and nuances of queer experiences, particularly those that intersect with race and class.
