The Stop Snoring Exercise Program: A Proven Way to Get a Good Night’s Sleep
Someone’s snoring noises are really annoying when you’re asleep. If you or someone you know has a bad snoring habit, let me tell you that it is not a habit, it is a real health problem. Snoring is a distressing sound that is due to the vibration produced by obstructed breathing whilst sleeping. Nobody likes to share a bed with a snorer. Some people find the sound soft and tolerable but many others find it disturbing and unpleasant. People with obesity will most likely snore; however snoring is also present in skinnier individuals. Snoring can be light, occasional, and unconcerning, or it may be the sign of a serious underlying sleep-related breathing disorder. Since obstructive sleep apnea occurs while you’re unconscious, it’s difficult to spot the signs yourself. If your currently a snorer, it may be an indication of some underlying issues. There are many remedies on the market that supposedly alleviate the problem… and many do, but they merely treat the symptoms and don’t address the root cause. In most cases, the root cause is weak throat muscles. Christian Goodman's Stop Snoring Solution is a well-researched program that aims to tackle the root cause of snoring and sleep apnea. It focuses on lifestyle changes, exercises, and breathing techniques to alleviate these issues effectively.

Return to Water
Water heals. This persisting belief was a gift from my young mind. Perhaps an innate understanding of a truth that many accepted as fact long before peer-reviewed articles declared the same. Water heals. I believed this as I swam the lengths of my hometown's iconic Z-shaped community pool. I believed because of the ineffable calm that overpowered my senses as I submerged my body. Faith in my restoration kept me afloat, not my particular matter and biology or the stringent lessons of my swim instructors. Even as I swam to the depths, I felt no panic as my body depleted itself of oxygen. The pressure felt like part of the healing process. I would push my lungs to the point of blackened vision until I reached some arbitrary milestone: a wall’s edge, a friend’s leg, or the bottom of the pool. The first gasp of air as you breach the water’s surface floods the system, and suddenly, you’re alive again.

Pongal: Harvesting Joy, Celebrating Abundance
In the heartlands of India, where vast fields sway in the gentle breeze and the sun casts its golden glow over the fertile plains, Pongal heralds a celebration of harvest, gratitude, and abundance. This South Indian festival, deeply rooted in agrarian traditions, is a time when communities come together to express their thanks to nature for a bountiful yield. Pongal, often referred to as the "harvest festival of Tamil Nadu," is not merely a cultural event but a spiritual journey that binds the people to the land that sustains them.

Who Is In My Mirror?
I think I knew who I was when I was a child. I think it didn't matter to me, really, but I knew. I was my parents daughter. I was a carefree, fun, silly little girl. I played with dolls, loved pink, wore only skirts, and was scared of bugs. My pencil box was pink and I was five.

Let's Talk About Pansexuality!. Top Story - December 2023.
December 8 marks pansexual pride day: a day to acknowledge the efforts made by pan community to gain acceptance and awareness. Pansexuality is a sexuality riddled by misunderstanding and misconception, leaving those who identify with the label frustrated and forced to educate those who don't understand. Education is important, it's easy to do, and no one is ever too old to learn new things.

The Topic of Gender-Affirming Care
Logical fallacies often tap into emotions to sway opinions. Fear-based fallacies, like the appeal to fear or the slippery slope fallacy, can create a sense of urgency or alarm by suggesting dire consequences if a particular action or viewpoint is not adopted. For example, in the context of gender-affirming care, an argument might falsely suggest that allowing such care for transgender youth will lead to irreversible harm or societal chaos, appealing to parental fears for their children's well-being.

Who Am I, What Am I?
For the first seven months of this year [2023], I was getting Lupron injections in my butt, to stop estrogen production in my body. This was not due to transitioning/gender reassignment, though it was a heavily considered topic in past years. These injections were due to endometriosis, which is a painful disease that affects about ten percent of menstruating women, and causes the lining of the uterus to grow on the outside. We aren't here to get into my medical history or the breakdown of the disease, but this was the beginning of how I was able to find myself.
