The Pregnancy Shadow
Every woman in the world has things in common. One of those things (and probably the most annoying) is when we hit a certain age and the "baby questions" start; not to mention if you're not married then you get the "baby/marriage question" combo! For some women the answer is as simple as waiting until they are ready or just going with the flow and it happens without trying! But what about those women who deal with PCOS, Endometriosis, etc...

Transgender People Like Sex Too
If I had a pound for every time I heard someone ask me about my sex life and ask me probing questions about my body — I'd be a pretty rich woman by now. The same goes for the amount of times I've heard people ask my fellow trans friends similar questions. It seems pretty taboo that transgender people can have sex — let alone actually enjoy intimacy. It's true that we often, but not always, hate our bodies and desperately want out... but to assume we're all asexual couldn't be further from the truth.

Colorful Cooking Products To Brighten Up Your Kitchen
Cooking is always fun, but if we're honest, it's an activity that's ten times more enjoyable when done in a kitchen that looks beautiful. Unfortunately, kitchen remodeling is not an easy DIY home improvement project to try — nor is it the cheapest.

5 Things That Can Be Done to Revive Toxic Work Culture
A toxic work culture can create major problems as it hampers productivity and builds an environment that is plagued with anxiety, fear, lack of responsibility, and apathy. There are various factors that are responsible for brewing such a culture, the results of which are catastrophic and can sink the organization into an abyss of failure.

So, if this issue is not addressed in time, it can be very difficult for the organization and its management to revive from such a major set-back.

Mic Check One Two - My Observations From Attending Local Showcases
In one way or another I have been a part of the Tampa Bay music scene since 2001. Because of this involvement, I find myself at plenty of open mics and showcase.

What Is Synthetic Weed Made Of?
I've been a very strong opponent of synthetic weed. It's the only drug that I honestly think has no benefits and does nothing but hurt its users. What is terrifying about synthetic weed, aside from the fact that it's been linked to an increase in hospitalizations, is that the people who use it rarely have an idea of what's actually in it.

12 Profiles You'll See Online Dating as a Lesbian
Like many of my peers, I have a love-hate relationship with 21st century dating, mostly because I am not good at it. It is rare to meet someone in the 18-24 age bracket, especially in the gay community. Yet after swiping for a while, a lot of the candidates you see look similar. If you're a woman who uses a dating app to date other women, members of these groups will be impossible to avoid.

Crossing a Line
Recently I was shown an article about a famous singer who was at a benefit concert. He was singing to a large crowd of mostly women. Yes there were men there too, but there was a huge crowd of women that were very close to the stage. As the singer often does when he performs he got very close to the edge of the stage. Many of the people there had their hands raised up in the hope that he might touch them. He also often takes flowers from them and other gifts. On this particular night like he often does he knelt down, and just as he did one woman grabbed his private part. Now this was not a brush of her hand, it was a grab. He quickly grabbed her hand and removed it. Because he was in the middle of his song he had to continue singing.

From STEM to ESL
Having dedicated (or sacrificed, depending on your point of view) the final 5 years of my 20s to taking a foundation degree in physics and maths, followed by a Bachelor’s degree in physics, I am frequently asked why I am an English teacher rather than a physics and/or maths teacher. Allow me to explain.

Best Super Mario Bros. Games Ever Created
It's not a stretch to say the Italian plumber, Super Mario, has influenced almost every adventure-style game that came after it. These massive video game worlds of today wouldn't exist without the iconic game's incredible influence — which dates back almost 40 years at this point.
