Various Disability Programs in the United States: Know the Facts
Every year, various organizations collect data about people with disabilities living in the United States. Data from 2017 shows that almost 26 percent of adults in the United States suffer from some type of disability. Disabled people now make up one of the largest minority groups in the country. Unlike countries like Canada that have a universal healthcare system, there is no guaranteed healthcare system in the United States. Differently-abled people, however, may be entitled to support from federal and state programs to varying degrees. Among the various programs targeted for people with disabilities, the most well known and utilized is the Social Security Administration's Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs.

I Starved myself for 7 Days, Here’s What I Learned
To put it simply, I love food. I love going to In-N-Out and getting a double double. I enjoy spontaneously going to Canes at 1 in the morning with my friends. The simple craving for a satisfying hunky burrito from Chipotle.

Why I don't believe in death
In my earlier years I questioned why I'm a human, but at that time I didn't take the question as something anyone could answer. More recently I probed it further and found some helpful insights. I was born in the city of Windsor Ontario which has a population of over 200 thousand at this point. Why not Toronto or somewhere more populous? I remembered from biology class a concept they use to estimate populations in a field called quadrants. That actually explains that issue quite well. I always like to start from the principle of mediocrity. In essence: if I find my self in a circumstance then why should I assume that the circumstance is common place. Across the boarder is Detroit and within a four hour drive there are numerous cities including Toronto and London. So from the perspective of a quadrant it's not so unlikely.

The (Kind Of) Virgin Birth In Africa
When you think of a miracle you think of angels singing. The pure goodness of everyone involved paints the scene with a faint golden glow. Not all miracles fit the stereotype. Sometimes they involve a knife fight, a blow job, and a genetic defect. This is the story of how one woman managed to give birth despite impossible odds without ever having sex.

Vaccinate or Vacillate
Let me be clear, I am not wanting to tell you what to do with your bodies. Seriously. You need to make your own decisions but there is a lot of misinformation out there and it's confusing. Right? I think it's fairly safe to say that we all know we are living through a pandemic. I don't like to make generalisations but unless you've been living alone on a remote island or off chasing unicorns somewhere, you're aware that life has been slightly off-kilter for the last 14 months or so. I am just trying to navigate around all the conflicting arguments and counter arguments to find a truth that I can live with.

Our Other Self
Dreams, typically, are fun and exciting. I've always looked forward to nighttime when I was a child because that meant it was almost time to drift off into the dream world. I could be riding on top of an airplane, flying through the sky. I could be climbing a huge mountain, or getting a new doll on Christmas Day. The possibilities are, literally, endless.
