Thank You, Sailor Moon. Runner-up in Represented Challenge.
When Sailor Uranus, a tall, cute blonde girl who wore suits and drove fast cars like a badass, strut onto my television screen for the first time, twelve-year-old me immediately had a new favorite Sailor Moon character.

The Power of Representation
In honor of National Coming Out Day, I’m reminded of the power of representation in shaping our understanding and empathy toward the LGBTQ+ community. As a non-queer creator and ally, I’ve come to realize how vital it is to see diverse, authentic depictions of queer lives in media, pop culture, and literature. Representation acts as a mirror of view, allowing individuals to see themselves clearly, and for allies, it serves as a window into experiences we may not personally share, but can deeply resonate and relate with.

The Taste of Connection
Eggs, flour, sugar, meat, potatoes, cold cuts, paper towels, candy, a bottle of rosé wine. It’s Friday. The day Simon allows himself to indulge. He plans to bake a cake when he gets home and enjoy the warmth from the oven while he prepares dinner in his large, bright kitchen, savoring the taste of the cool rosé.

I've been writing fanfiction for a long time. As I mentioned in my other Representation entry, I didn't grow up seeing myself represented in Media. On the rare occasion that I did see Autism, or Asexuality, represented, it was usually as a caricature, or the punchline of a joke, or a problem to be solved. Other times, as diversity became a popular thing to include, it would be shown as an excuse for poor behaviour, or, more rarely, as Inspirational(TM), to make a character more impressive for having already overcome their hurdles due to their Special Interest being seen as valuable, like Rain Man or The Good Doctor.

A Lesson on Pride and Relationships. AI-Generated.
In a world where marriages and relationships are often tested, it’s easy to let pride, anger, or outside influence seep in and wreak havoc. Recently, I came across a story shared by Emeka Miky Oduije that deeply touched me. It’s the story of a divorced mother, now 32 years old, who opened up about the mistakes she made in her marriage, hoping her experience would encourage others to cherish and protect their relationships.
