Quirks and Quacks in the Countryside
Mortimer, Neil and Phil Mortimer and Pals Neil and Phil In a quaint corner of the UK countryside, nestled between rolling hills and fields of lush green grass and wildflower meadows, lived a lovely old chap known as farmer Arthur. He was known throughout the villages for his hearty laugh, love for a good pint, and, of course, his peculiar flock of ducks. He lived alone on his small farm tending to a modest collection of feathered friends, each with its own unique charm, but one of his ducks, in particular, stood out from the rest. This unique duck was named Mortimer. Mortimer had an odd characteristic that raised more than a few eyebrows among the locals. While all the other ducks quacked merrily in their distinct voices, Mortimer, for reasons known only to him, honked like a ship's foghorn. Yep, you read that right—a deep, resonating honk that echoed across the local fields. It was as if he was a lighthouse or watchman for his buddies he certainly was a rather unconventional character.

My First Piece I ever wrote
My first time doing Vocal was like one of the new steps for me during pandemic, self-worth,and isolation. Same thing as my first challenge in summer 2021. I thought it’s very important to do as many new things as I could during the pandemic. I have to take my risks including one of my fears: I have to conquer it after the ableism I faced through. For starters, I was curious, but I’m extremely nervous and disheartened. Why? Because I have a serious issue dealing with mixed receptive-expressive language disorder, one of mixed delayed development disorders I have had since I was two or three.

When Writing about Disabilities
As a DeafBlind writer, when I'm not immersed in crafting or researching my stories, I enjoy reading others' perspectives on disabled individuals. However, much of the content I encounter is both frustrating and ableist, continuing to cast disabled people in a negative light through the choice of words.

Lessons from Venus - what can be learned?
Venus, the planet of beauty, worth and adoration, is currently in the transformational part of her Rx journey. At the start of last week, she was situated between the earth and the sun, making her invisible to the naked eye – she was the “evening star”, hidden in the night sky.

I Promise
Season 1 Episode 1 - VALENTINE'S DAY (Scene 1) [FLASHBACK - Opening Scene] Jackson and I met our Freshman Year in high school, in history class. He was so sweet and handsome. I, on the other hand, was the normal go unseen girl in school. Although it was a weird match, we just sort of grew on one another. Our relationship lasted through breakups, makeups, cheating, lying, and beatings. When we got in college it's like I was just a familiar face that he knew he could always go back to if needed. Now that I think about it, I was just in love with a man that I knew didn't love me in that same measure. Although, kept me because he didn't want to see what I would look like with another man.

The First Stories
I remember, somewhere between childhood and awkward teenage years, I went from being an avid reader to an avid writer. I thank my high school friends for this transition. They introduced me to anime, manga, and fanfiction. Fanfiction.net was approximately where I started attempting to write coherent stories under the penname Amery Aquaisha. I know, what an alias, right?

Ex-PBB housemate Lie Reposposa and her boyfriend issue
Lie Reposposa and Paul Joshua Marsden are facing some rumors and speculation about their relationship due to a circulating TikTok video. However, it's important to approach such allegations with caution, as they may not always reflect the full truth of a situation. Their decision to share a cozy photo on Instagram without captions and comments turned on might indicate a desire for privacy amid the rumors. On a happier note, their engagement announcement in February was certainly a joyful occasion for them. It's unfortunate that Lie Reposposa is facing these cheating allegations based on a TikTok video. However, it's important to remember that social media can sometimes amplify rumors and misinterpretations. Without verified information, it's challenging to accurately assess the situation. It's always best to wait for official statements or reliable sources before drawing conclusions about such matters. It's understandable that netizens would have reactions to such a viral and sensitive topic. People often share a wide range of opinions and emotions in response to events involving public figures. However, it's important to remember that online reactions don't always reflect the full story, and judgments should be made with verified information and proper context. Sensational stories can sometimes overshadow the complexity of real-life situations.
