Let's Talk About AAVE! (A-O)
What is AAVE? AAVE, or African American Vernacular English, is a vocabulary created by and specifically catered to Black communities. Although many of these words and phrases have been made popular as slang among young people, AAVE is its own distinct dialect, whose words - like any dialect - are used for more than just expressing yourself. When it comes to language, there's often more involved than using a word or phrase. We must pay attention to the tone, contexts, and emotions we display within it. Using AAVE as a white or non-black person of colour is language appropriation. Language appropriation is the usage of language by oppressors in order to profit off or benefit from the oppressed.

Personality versus Outward Appearances
Some of you may be wondering why I chose to use an artistic depiction of a tire swing to coincide with an article that is on the topic of human superficiality. I think I'll explain it like a parable. The tire swing is not your typical swing found at most parks. There have been many man-made swings, but the standard swing is not meant to spin and is designed in most cases for one person to sit on. The tire swing is unique because not only is it an upcycle (saving the planet from tires dumped at the bottom of the ocean or rivers) it also can carry two children, swing back and forth, and spin for delirious enjoyment. I think of the tire swing the way I think of how people can sometimes get bent out of shape regarding how people look. Some care nothing about it, while others care too much about it. Most lack a good balance. When someone isn't by standard definition of "attractive" or "beautiful" they are often described as having a great personality, to soften the judgements of those who have not met the person before and introduce them as desirable regardless. Let's say a standard swing is the normal definition of "attractive" or "beautiful", and the tire swing has a great personality. Now you understand the connection.

Does a Quote ever hit you the wrong way?
The Quote read: You are keeping yourself from the life you want by feeding the life you don't want. While it seems simple or obvious, this quote disturbed me as I applied it to myself, my life, and my truest desires.

Peace demands emotional maturity.
Los Angeles, 2023. It was a Thursday evening, and only Mason and I were in the house as our Thursdays used to be. The evening started with some art explorations. Between a monster and a robot, Mason began to tell me about two kids who were reacting violently during playtime at his preschool. One was a boy, and the other was a girl. They were biting and pushing other kids when their demands were not met. Mason told me about it with a disappointed look and a sad voice; it was somehow sweet to notice that he was upset with the situation.

Comic Connection
The once vibrant Comic Connection sat cloaked in an eerie silence. Gone were the joyful guffaws and the excited chatter of comic book enthusiasts. Ten-year-old Maya, owner's niece and self-proclaimed "Comic Whisperer," felt a shiver crawl down her spine. Where had the laughter gone? Was it a disgruntled villain, a mischievous prankster from the pages, or something more sinister? Maya, armed with her boundless imagination and a magnifying glass fit for a detective, vowed to unravel the mystery and restore the laughter to The Comic Connection.

How Media Bias and Social Media Bias Mess with Our Minds
Right, left, red, blue — how citizens choose to consume news will make or break any nation. The US is ramping up to another US Presidential Election. The type and origin of the news we consume will significantly impact what happens on Election Day. It can also knock us off our own principals and values.

To All The Boybands I’ve Loved Before
Through the course of a girl's life - particularly mine, - all she ever needs is three things: friends to lean on, good food to eat, and a boyband to obsess over. It’s quite a peculiar list for the eyes of an outsider, but hey, if you know, you know!

We are 6 months into 2024 and I haven’t achieved all my goals yet.
We are 6 months into 2024 and I haven’t achieved all my goals yet. Let’s be true to ourselves, this is the stance of millions worldwide. We all have made our New Year resolutions and have faltered in our discourse of being consistent and true about it. To be consistent in your stance, you need clarity and focus on what you are headed towards, when the head is lost in aimless directions of what should be, we lose our sight of what we are and where we should be headed. In absolute honesty, I too was directionless in the first 6 months of my existence in 2024. To give you more insight into my journey here is my account of the first half of 2024-
