Free – A Lucrative Offer
Have you ever noticed how many things are advertised as "free"? Free apps, free samples, free trials, free content—there’s no shortage of offers that promise something without us having to pay a dime. At first glance, it seems like a great deal. Who doesn’t love getting something for nothing, right? But if we look a little deeper, we realize that “free” often comes with a hidden cost.

It's a good thing, ain't it?
You'd think that the brilliance of a sugar maple leaf in autumn would shatter all doubts about the quality of the season, right? Just look at this tree! I took this photo about seven years ago on my way home from work. I knew it was close to the end of the leaf-peeping season, so I purposefully took a route that would lead me past this particular beauty. I pulled into the weeds on the side of the road, climbed out of my 2004 Civic, and proceeded to snap some photographs with my ancient Samsung cell phone.

Pushed Out
NOTE: The following is a rant that swings between calm facts and intense emotions. Dear Boss, I know there’ve been several occasions when I’ve told you about my depression and anxiety issues and specifically how they affect me at work. I’ve particularly expressed the need to have office space away from the classroom where I can control the light and noise exposure to reduce the sensory input, which is why I’ve been so glad to have an office for the last several years. Your predecessor comprehended that and fiercely defended my right to keep an office. He had my back on that. You threw me under the bus and tossed me out of the office space.

Through the Shadows: Zarnab's Journey from Despair to Hope
The bright lights of Imtiaz Supermarket in Karachi buzzed overhead, casting a harsh glare that only worsened Zarnab’s throbbing headache. She pushed her cart through the crowded aisles, her heart heavy with exhaustion. Her three children—Sarah, 9, Ali, 6, and Noor, just 3—clung to her as they moved through the store, their presence barely registering in Zarnab's numb state. She loved them, she knew she did, but the constant weight of worry and despair had dimmed that love, trapping her in a haze of emptiness.

Bullying In Ghana Is So Horrific They Created A Word For It Why Doesn't Government Fix It?
Monday, 16 September 2024 By: TB Obwoge Accra, Ghana - Via a WhatsApp conversation, I had a long conversation with a Ghanaian man about the bullying in Ghana.
