Generation Names
Whoever came up with the categorization and labeling of contemporary generations was a Boomer. Why do I say so? First, they only gave names to the generations of the 20th century, as if people didn’t exist before or as if every new century must start from scratch with their own new names. The first named generation (born before 1900) was completely Lost on them (a lot of its males were also lost in WWI).

Where in the World is (the Respect for) Carmen Sandiego?
Television, film, and even video game history is full of some legendary baddies. Those of you who have read my stories know that I focus on the females of the bunch, but even so, I've noticed that when it comes to villainesses, the ones that get the most mention are the Wicked Queen, the Wicked Witch of the West, Cruella de Vil, Rita Repulsa, and Catwoman, just to name a few. Now those are iconic villainesses, but there's more than that group. One such villainess came to mind just barely before I had the idea to write this: Carmen Sandiego.

Story Time as Captain Marvel
Hello everyone, sorry I haven’t published recent stories since August but it has been an overwhelming five months since I wrote and published my last article. Lately, I have been busy thanks to returning to school to conduct online courses to get a master’s degree and a teacher certification from the University of New Hampshire. I can tell you that while taking three online courses in one fall semester has been rewarding, it was exhausting to where I didn’t have enough time or energy to write new articles. Now that I’ve focused on studying for the Praxis exam hoping to start clinical work, I used the free time I had to write a brand-new story. Normally, it would be on animal stories, but I did something different and wrote about some of the cosplay experiences instead.

Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2023 (Part 2: The Top 5)
I'm going to admit something: deciding who would be part of the first half of the year-end top 10 list this year was quite difficult. 2023 gave us a lot of very delicious villainesses on Lifetime's networks, and deciding who would be in the first half of that list wasn't easy, but it was done, and the list can be found here. Now, while deciding the first half was hard, the top 5 wasn't. As early as the beginning of fall, I had my top 5 cemented. These villainesses were truly the best of the best in 2023, and I'm still beaming over how delicious and epic they were!

Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2023 (Part 1: #10 - #6)
Can you believe this is Year Three of this list on Vocal? Seems like yesterday that I first did this. This year's gave us some very delicious villainesses, including a number of actresses finally entering the dark side of a Lifetime movie for the first time. Here's how this list has evolved already. Two years ago, it was only villainesses from Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network. Last year, I decided to mix it up and add some baddies from Lifetime Movie Club and Tubi, because the latter's thrillers are basically Lifetime movies. For this year, I gave Tubi their own list (click here for that story), but this list will still feature the best villainesses from Lifetime, Lifetime Movie Network, and Lifetime Movie Club. This was a hell of a year for Lifetime villainesses, and I truly enjoyed it.
