How Horoscopes Hijack our Hinterlands
When I was a child, I had a huge fascination with the mysteries of the universe. I loved learning just about anything I could, which included a healthy interest in science, but also a wild curiosity about the supernatural. As a result, my adolescent years looked a lot like the Harry Potter series, sans magic. I played with ouija boards, went ghost hunting, tried automatic writing, runes, tarot cards, scrying, spells, rituals, crystals, and basically everything else under the full blood moon, except necromancy. Of course, no childhood foray into the dark arts is complete until one has given astrology a fair chance to prove itself. My own experiences with this ancient and still widely-accepted practice of divination began around the age of 10, when I got my hands on a copy of The Only Astrology Book You’ll Ever Need by Joanna Martine Woolfolk.

It’s Possible to Become Conscious in Your Dreams
Imagine that you could have any experience that you desired. What would you do? Maybe you would jump into the air and take flight, meet your favorite celebrity, or perhaps you would engage in something a bit more risqué. As adults, many of us seem to feel that dwelling on our fantasies is not productive and, therefore, not worth doing. It certainly makes sense not to waste time thinking about something that will never happen, but what if there actually is a way to fulfill literally any fantasy you might have? As it turns out, there is and it’s called lucid dreaming.

Penis Size is NOT a Meritocracy
When I decided to write about penis size, I knew I was entering into some fairly testy territory. In fact, this might be the number-one topic that makes men squeamish, so it ought to be handled with care, delicately, even. I also knew that my own endowment might come into question during the course of the article, just for the simple fact that I am a man writing about penis size.

A Finite Resource
“Hand it over, Morris!” The small, leather-bound notebook had been snatched securely into the hands of the menacing figure in gentleman’s attire. So securely, in fact, that it was scarcely even visible. It had happened in a flash. Morris had stormed into the man’s office and visibly startled him by flinging the door open so hard that it crashed into the wall. By the time the man’s surprise had finally subsided and he could take stock of the situation, his most prized possession was in Morris’ unforgiving grasp.

What Dabs are Like. Top Story - February 2021.
If you haven’t tried dabs before and are curious to find out what it’s like before you indulge, you’ve come to the right place. It’s definitely a smart decision to educate yourself before you try a mind-altering substance you aren’t familiar with. If we recall back when edibles were gaining more mainstream popularity, we had to give the PSA that this is actually a different experience, because it’s a different chemical reaction, and not the same-ol’ Mary Jane you know and love. I find myself doing a similar spiel with dabs when I talk to people about them nowadays.

How Ebay Sellers are Getting Screwed. Top Story - February 2021.
As someone who has been working for multiple ebay stores for the past several years, with people who have been selling on the site for decades, I’ve experienced and heard several horror stories. I wish I could say these were rare and not the norm, however, from what I have observed, Ebay continues to make business decisions which mean more profit for the suits and less profit and protection for sellers (the backbone of the company). In recent years, there has also been a massive amount of freedom given to buyers, who can no longer even receive negative feedback from sellers. During the course of this article, I will be listing some grievances I have with Ebay and, while doing so, exposing some scams which are being run at the expense of sellers, with total freedom under Ebay’s nose.
