  • Why Women Should Lead Committed Polyamorous Relationships - and What It Teaches Us About Consent
    Jan 12 2026

    Modern intimacy is changing fast. As committed polyamory moves from whisper networks into more visible cultural conversation, the question of structure matters. Who coordinates schedules, mediates conflict, holds boundaries, and keeps the household culture intact? This article argues that centering women in leadership roles within committed polyamorous constellations can produce clearer consent, stronger safety, and better emotional management, and it contrasts that ethical model with a grotesque sci‑fi image used as a moral foil: the horror of people reduced to commodities in alien‑farm narratives.

  • Gravity of Past Ties: Safety First for Those Rebuilding Beyond Violence
    Jan 11 2026

    Attraction and association: a precarious gravity
    Some people, by history, habit, or circumstance, draw toward them a particular kind of company—individuals who traffic in violence, intimidation, or the darker trades that prey on vulnerability and trade in torture. That gravity isn’t always about choice: it can be the residue of old reputations, informal debts, shared survival strategies, or the narrow local economies that kept them afloat. Whatever the cause, the presence of those associates changes the texture of everyday life for the person trying to rebuild and for everyone around them.

  • Naming the Devil: Confessions of a Witness to Delusions of Grandeur
    Jan 7 2026

    I used to think my love life was a comedy of errors. Now I see it as a strange recurring motif: men who start ordinary and, over months or years, begin to believe they’re central to some grand design. They don’t arrive convinced they’ll “rule the world.” That conviction grows — an accretion of small choices, stories, attention, and the cultural static we all breathe. I’m not seeking out men with delusions of grandeur. I’ve never set out to become anyone’s crown or court. Still, the pattern keeps showing up, and I’ve learned to read it, name it, and write about it. Eventually they all think they are the devil and rule the world, i guess i just make men feel that wonderful.

  • Race and Ethnicity Affecting Trauma Survivors and Their Relationships
    Jan 3 2026

    Racial and ethnic identity shape how people experience, respond to, and recover from traumatic events. Race-based traumatic stress — the emotional injury caused by experiences of racism, discrimination, and race-related stressors — can produce symptoms similar to other forms of trauma, including intrusive memories, hypervigilance, and avoidance. These responses are layered on top of any other traumatic experiences a person has had, changing how they perceive threat, safety, and trust.

  • The Mirror Within: How Psychology Shapes Beauty, Handsomeness, and the Body Over Time
    Jan 2 2026

    Beauty is often treated as a static trait — something you’re born with, sculpted by genetics and polished by grooming. But in truth, beauty is a dynamic interplay between perception, personality, and emotional health. It’s not just about symmetry or skin tone; it’s about the story your body tells, the energy you emit, and the emotional truth etched into your face over time.

  • Bloodsuckers in the Shadows: Scammers as Vampires and the Ethics of Survivor-Centered Profiling
    Dec 30 2025

    Vampires have haunted folklore for centuries — seductive, immortal, and parasitic. But in the modern world, their closest analogs aren’t cloaked in capes or lurking in castles. They wear suits, send texts, and promise opportunity. They are scammers: emotional predators who drain time, trust, and financial lifeblood from their victims. This article reframes scammers through the lens of vampire mythology, offering a survivor-centered analysis of two archetypes — Jemel Moody as the street-level vampire and Michael Tanner as Count Dracula of debt collection.

  • Vampires, Reptilians, and Power: David Icke's Anunnaki as a Cultural Metaphor
    Dec 27 2025

    David Icke frames the Anunnaki as reptilian, fourth-dimensional beings who occupy or “overshadow” human bodies, crossbreed with select bloodlines, drink human blood, and feed on fear and sexual energy. He maps these traits onto classical vampire motifs — eternal life, blood‑drinking, shape‑shifting, and secret societies — and locates the phenomenon inside networks of elite institutions and ritual practice.

  • The Psychology of Evil and the Weaponization of Morality and Humor
    Dec 26 2025

    Evil is one of the most enduring and provocative concepts in human thought. From religious doctrine to philosophical inquiry, from horror films to political rhetoric, the idea of evil evokes fear, fascination, and moral urgency. But what happens when individuals believe themselves to be evil — or when they see the world strictly divided into good and evil? What are the psychological and social consequences of such binary thinking? And how can humor, often seen as harmless or cathartic, become a weapon in these moral battles?
