Chasing Shadows: Why “More” Doesn’t Mean Happier
Last year, the World Happiness Report highlighted a striking pattern: even in developed countries where people spend substantial amounts on non-essential goods, higher consumption beyond basic needs does not significantly increase life satisfaction. Imagine Jane, a young professional scrolling through her social media feed: her friends flaunt new cars, exotic vacations, and the latest gadgets, making her feel inadequate despite owning everything she once dreamed of. This scene is far from unusual. Every advertisement, post, and billboard seems to whisper: “You need more.” Yet, the irony of modern life is stark: despite unprecedented access to wealth and goods, many of us feel lonelier, more anxious, and less fulfilled than ever. The promise of happiness through consumption is, in reality, an illusion that leaves us running in circles, chasing temporary pleasures that fade almost as soon as we acquire them.

Lil Wayne Complains About Yet Another Grammys Snub
Hang it up, sir. You're a legend in this game, but you played like Jordan on the Wizards with this last album. I actually like most of the songs including “Cotton Candy.” But it’s time to retire, homie. You’ve achieved great critical and commercial feats during your tenure in this rap sludge.

Writing About Writing: The Rainbow Trap
The good thing about living in modern times is that LGBTQ representation in media is increasing. Not just in niche and Independant media, either, but also in mainstream media. Books, movies, TV shows, comics... they're finally catching on that LGBTQ+ people form a significant part of their audience, and deserve to see themselves on screen and in fiction, not just as victims in documentaries and true crime shows.
