Cliffhanger
Before It Ends. Content Warning.
Then I felt it... the light switch... fear embraced my soul as I slowly moved my fingertip upwards along the switch. There was still no response from my mother as I continued to call for her while my fingertip hesitated to complete the light switch flip.

Unraveling Worlds. Top Story - March 2025. Content Warning.
It's still a struggle for me when I think about how significantly everything changed and the reasons it all happened. For the longest time I spent every day imagining the 'good ol' days' where things were “normal” and life was... “good”. I never realized how conditioned I was, how conditioned everyone was, to the so-called “normal” days of life. When 'The OB's' came, it was a nightmare for the world. The delicate balance of life was shattered and the beliefs of many were completely destroyed. I remember that day like it was yesterday, and for a long time I saw it as the beginning of the end.

Shan Sao
1. The "Himalayan Punk Monkey": A Goblin Look That Challenges Conventions In the strange beast records of Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas), Shan Sao is depicted as "a human - shaped creature about a foot tall, with a white face, red eyes, and legs as long as a crane's" – picture a Tibetan macaque standing upright, wearing a punk - style red blindfold, strutting on slender legs like those of a crane, and having a tail tied with a few burning reeds! The most eerie thing is its cry: it can mimic human speech but only repeats the last three words, much like Gollum from The Lord of the Rings, yet with an added touch of Sichuan opera mask - changing magic.

Influencer Suffers Kidney Stones on Carnivore Diet
**US Influencer Ends Up In Hospital With Kidney Stones After Following Viral Carnivore Diet** Influencers and health enthusiasts have been touting the carnivore diet's benefits, which include weight loss and improved mental clarity, in recent years. However, medical professionals who warn of potential health risks have also criticized the diet, which consists almost entirely of animal products like meat, fish, and eggs. A US influencer's recent hospitalization for kidney stones after following the viral carnivore diet for several months is one such cautionary tale. ### The Carnivorous Diet's Rise The carnivore diet, also known as the "all-meat diet," is a very strict way to eat that excludes all plant-based foods like grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables. Proponents of the diet claim that it can lead to rapid weight loss, reduced inflammation, and improved digestion.
