The Mug Awards
"Express Yourself!" they say. Yeah, right. There are times all I want to say is.*****. Well, I really can't and won't say it, but you, dear reader, know what I mean. Regardless of how people felt this last week, there's either an expression of grief or gloating. Neither side wants to hear either, except in the privacy of their safe groups where they can either glare or gloat.

Are You In Pain? Or Are You Just A Woman?
Introduction The experience of pain is universal, but how it's perceived, treated, and even questioned can vary dramatically based on factors like gender, race, and age. For many women, the struggle for adequate recognition and treatment of pain is a daily reality, compounded by stereotypes, biases, and misconceptions that have persisted for centuries. The phrase "Are you in pain, or are you just a woman?" may sound stark, but it echoes a painful truth about how women's pain is often dismissed, misunderstood, or minimized. In this article, we'll explore the complex dynamics surrounding women's pain, from the medical biases that persist to the societal attitudes that can contribute to an environment of disbelief.

They were the Best of Memes, They were the Worst of Memes
I'm seriously out of control! Someone should seriously stop me! I'm having too much fun! Okay. I won't stop. I published this stuff originally in a Place-That-Shall-Remain-Nameless (🤐the Journal Community) before there was a proper place at Vocal for comedy. Recently I've been migrating shit over here, where it belongs. I've updated this routine and removed all those contagious Covid jokes that weren't funny at all. All they did was cause inflation. My Bad. 🤷

A Love Beyond Words
A Love Beyond Words 1. The First Glance Riya had just moved to the bustling city of Mumbai for her first job. Life was new, fast-paced, and a little lonely. The chaos of city life overwhelmed her until the day she first saw Aarav at a café she’d begun frequenting. Aarav, a photographer by profession, always had a warm, welcoming smile for everyone. But when his eyes met Riya’s, there was a flicker of recognition, an instant connection neither could ignore. It was a silent glance that spoke volumes, and from that day on, they found themselves visiting the café, hoping for another encounter.

We Don't Stop Meme-ing Because It Grows Old; We Grow Old Because We Stop Meme-ing . Top Story - April 2022.
I've written several 'comedy routines' inspired by the memes I yank from my Facebook feed. I call this series Meme-ing For Laughs. I started writing this crap a long time ago, before Vocal had a Humor Community. I'm now in the process of migrating all those guffaws over here— to their proper place in the Humor Community! This one previously won a Top Story thingie!!! ⚡😁👍

A Brilliant Saturday Morning Joke!
In the vibrant and bustling town of Lagos, there lived a spirited young boy named Tunji, affectionately known as "Tunji the Storyteller." His laughter enchanted everyone, and his jokes were so delightful that even the goats lounging in the sun would bleat joyfully whenever he passed by, their ears perked up in excitement.

"Friendship & Resilience"
Once upon a time, within the heart of a bustling city, a youthful lady named Sarah confronted an emergency that would make anybody break a sweat: She misplaced her phone. And not fair to any phone—her adored smartphone, filled with cherished recollections, contacts, and her carefully curated collection of pooch memes. It was a small but precious part of her daily life, her digital diary.

The invisible Chain
Our era is marked by unsettling answers, but no one expects them to come from artificial intelligence. We are used to imagining apocalyptic scenarios filled with sentient machines only in science fiction films like Terminator or Star Wars, where robots become beings with autonomous thought. Or in video games like Halo, where AI takes on the dual role of humanity’s defender or its potential enemy. But what would happen if artificial intelligence were truly the devil, intent on subjugating humanity?
