I had fun with this one.
This week's article actually has a podcast component. If you've never heard me speak before, well, now's your chance! This week I don't cover what I think the meaning of life is, but I do cover what I think it means to choose to live.
Here's a question I ask you: Would you rather be paralyzed completely from the neck down, or dead? Why? No right answers, just your choice of wrong one.
I've never properly gushed about her, so I think I'm just doing this one as a collection of works from my favourite semi-obscure poet.
First Fig:
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light.
She thought he was asleep when she confessed. She whispered that she loved him, head sinking into his chest.
He hadn’t been asleep. Now he lay staring up at the ceiling.
He wanted to whisper back that he loved her, too, but it would be too cruel a lie to tell. He wanted to love her, but he couldn’t.
This one has an unwitting special guest at the end, it seems.
A look into why discrimination against black people and poor people blur together at the seams, and just how badly being low-income affects development.
To those who don't click through:
It’s at this point that I’d like to advertise a new feature of commission I’m offering.
$8 an hour, and I’ll watchanything, anything you make me.
So Morphblade is a fun little pickup I got on Steam recently, and it's a really fun little tactical/strategy combo game in a weird way. I liken it to chess where you build the board one piece at a time, and what piece you're standing on dictates what your piece is. Except if chess also played with a levelling up system?
Oh wait, pawns. Right.
After the break, a runthrough of a game I really like and highly reccomend, it's like, $2 on Steam.
Probably the best article I've written so far: If you stood in the office of the man who just paid $60 for an orb of raw water, you could watch a teenager get gunned down for wearing the wrong colours in the wrong neighbourhood.
So this is a short one, and a specific one, but I just got asked an interesting question, and I thought I'd expand on it in here:
How do you deal with characters in a horror story getting a victory, a big win, without killing the sense of tension in the story.
The 36 questions
So I’m studying journalism at the moment, and one thing I’ve come across is a list called the 36 questions. The 36 questions are what I’ve been practicing for interviews, and the history behind them is interesting; they resulted from a study on love, how we fall in love, what causes it and how to maintain it.
So here's where I gotta write about my best friend or something, right? I sent him a present, but shipping to Spain from Australia is a hassle. Words are cheap so let's get thrifty.
