Parece maldade, mas posso estar errada.
Digo que você é maldosa porque matou meu futuro ao seu lado, porque me fez assistir seu presente com outra pessoa e fez isso enquanto nosso presente ainda existia. Acho que foi maldosa por ter aceitado minhas declarações de amor, por ter me deixado tentar durante tantos meses, já não tendo nenhum sentimento. Para mim,…
Biodegradable Cardboard Tents for Festivals — Solving the “Trash Tent” Problem
Idea: A fully biodegradable, low‑cost tent made from reinforced cardboard + natural fibers + eco‑friendly waterproofing. The Problem: Every big festival ends with fields full of cheap $30–$40 Amazon tents that are muddy, ripped, and impossible to pack. People don’t want to carry them home, so they leave them behind. These tents are plastic, non‑recyclable,…
Found in a desk drawer at an estate sale. About 4.5″ long. Chrome or pickle plated. Depressing the slide brings the pincers together, but they are not sharp, more likely a clamp than a cutter. Image search only brings up syringes. Thanks in advance for any help. (Bananas for scale.)

What Love Should Never Cost
Is it self-destruction to love someone more than they could ever care for you? Or is it simply foolishness? Some would say they would rather live a thousand lives as a fool than become something bitter, something hateful. But there comes a point where the real damage isn’t caused by love itself. It’s caused by…
Rainy Days
It’s going to be impossible to not think about you every time it rains. How can something that once annoyed you to the core become the thing that you look forward to the most. Rain used to ruin my day; all the plans disappeared, a good mood turned to melancholy, a loss of all desire.…

Smoking Kills
I always loved back roads, especially riding in a Toyota Hilux. I loved cargo pants and jackets, especially in army green colour. Guns always made me excited. I always loved staying in the mountains with no facilities and having nothing to watch but the campfire and the stars. But now, sitting in the passenger seat…
Hollow ceramic boxes, decorative, small, banana for scale
Found these when cleaning out my Great Aunt’s place near Pittsburgh, PA. They’re both ceramic, hollow, and have one large hole and one small hole. Not sure how old they are or where they came from. Best guess is they were received as part of a gift to mark an occasion, maybe flowers? The ‘Congratulations’…
Looking for honest feedback on the opening chapter of my post apocalyptic novel set in London Underground
Hi everyone, I’m currently working on a post apocalyptic novel called London Tube 2033. The project was inspired by the atmosphere and idea behind Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky. Years ago, the Metro universe encouraged writers from different countries to imagine how humanity might survive after the collapse of the world in their own underground…

Ego
The cycle is so predictable now: how they retreat back into the safety of a digital glass house, resurrecting that sad, lonely screen just to cast lines into the dark and summon strangers for a fleeting glimpse of validation. They hide behind that performance, cycling through the same hollow scripts, a copy-and-paste flattery. They continue…
Summer Storm
The summer storms move in, covering in a gray-blue blanket the sky The pitter-pattering brings one such soothing My feet grasp hard to the blades of grass I sink in the soft mud I run along wet gravel amongst quickly arriving worms My ravenous eyes take in the beauty of these moments with veracity Shaded…
Your silence hit like thunder
I miss the moments that seemed small, yet carried entire oceans of meaning within them. Like the way you would suddenly take my hand and pull yourself closer to me. Maybe, to anyone else, it was just a fleeting little scene, something ordinary and forgettable — but beneath its surface lived something so much deeper,…

The anticipation of seeing you again after we first met was too real. I was super excited and so nervous all at the same time. I wasn’t sure what to expect. After the amazing night we spent chatting at the party, getting to know each other – laughing, sharing….it all still feels a little unreal…

Politically Weary
“I remember,” said the old man sitting in the park as he rolled a cigarette from his fixings. “About 50 years ago, I suppose. Could’ve been a hundred, because time gets slippery after midnight—on a clock or in real life.” The reporter waited patiently, but wondered briefly, as the old man rolled his cigarette, lit…
A Turd in The Urinal: A Memoir
I’ve had diarrhea since the fifth grade. The year was 1998/99 when my parents’ long-failing marriage finally crumbled and the brooding anxiety I’d felt since the onset of my sentience really began to rob me of my childhood. Don’t worry, this essay isn’t a sob story about my parents’ divorce. This essay is about shitting…

The Gift of Knowledge: Blessing or Curse?
What is knowledge?

Hands-on business instead of saas

Something where the value is obvious and customers pay without a 6-month sales cycle.…

As imperfect as law is, it remains effective at mitigating harm. There will never be a time when no one is hurt.

I’m a creative person, I like writing when I get in the flow, but I can’t accept writing in drafts; every scene must be perfect before I move on- whether it be a scene I just worked on, or a scene from ancient history.
I like being creative- it’s fun. Sometimes, it’s also fun to write things. Then, writing things about what I create in my head- it’s even more fun! It isn’t fun rewriting 10 pages over and over again when there’s no payoff. I’ve looked up this kind of feeling- writing confidence. I can write anything for…
