I don't let my dog inside anymore **10/7/2024 2:30PM - Day 1:** I didn't think anything of it at first. It was late afternoon, typically the quietest part of the day, and I was standing at the kitchen sink filling a glass of water. I had just let Winston out back - same routine, same dog. While the water ran, I glanced out the window and saw he was standing on the patio, facing the yard. Perfectly still . What caught my attention was his mouth. It was open, not panting, just slack. It looked wrong, disjointed, like he was holding a toy I couldn't see, or like his jaw had simply unhinged. Then he stepped forward on his hind legs. It wasn't a hop, or a circus trick, or t...

The battle wasn’t fought with fists; it was a war of attrition against my own heart. It was the 20th now, the house felt like a sinking ship, and the fog was the rising tide. Every time I looked at the front door, I didn't see wood and a deadbolt; I saw a barrier keeping me from the only warmth I’d ever known. The fog began to weaponize the very concept of "Mother." It wasn't just showing her to me anymore; it was projecting the *feeling* of her—that primal, biological tether that every human carries. You know that feeling when you’re a kid and you’ve scraped your knee, and the world is ending, but then she says your name and suddenly the pain just... stops? Th...

Prior to heading to Frescho, boyfriend calls his brother for funds as we were both low and had nothing to eat. As we arrive there and basically completed our list , I mentioned that I forgot about cheese but couldn’t find it instead of letting me finish my sentence. I was cut off by him and was directed to get in line and he’ll grab the cheese but I can sense he was irritated idk what. He mentioned to me way back that he doesn’t like lingering in a grocery store for too long but today we had nothing really major planned so our day was free. I wasn’t in a rush so I wasn’t sure why he was + I wanted to make sure we got everything we needed. He thought I was giving him attitude wh...

Fifty years ago \[now 61\], on March 15, 1965, Archbishop Iakovos, Primate of the Greek Orthodox Church of North and South America, went to Selma, Alabama and marched beside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. A moment of that day was captured on film and became the cover photograph of the March 26, 1965 issue of Life magazine. It is a compelling image. Dr. King is in the center of the photo, holding a large memorial wreath for the Rev. James Reeb, a Unitarian Universalist minister and civil rights activist from Boston. The Rev. Reeb had died four days earlier after a group of white men beat him for daring to march in a black demonstration. Although Dr. King is at the center, it is Archbishop Iakov...

I'm sorry this is long, but it's a challenge years in the making. For those of you who take the time to read through it, thank you. A few years ago, I met my two friends-- Harry and Alex-- at school. We were all studying the same thing. After graduating, we all got jobs (miracle, I know). I pivoted to an adjacent field that offered *excellent* stability at the price of lower pay, and my two friends went into a much more volatile (but more lucrative) field. When they were employed, things were great. We'd hang out once a week, they'd bring food, I'd host, and we had a fantastic time. Their job was the kind people dream about-- fully remote, benefits, all tools provi...

The rooftop terrace of the luxury hotel was draped in fairy lights and the low murmur of familial voices. Long tables were covered in white linens; crystal glasses caught the glow of candles that flickered like distant stars. I stood slightly apart from the cluster of cousins and aunts, fingering the rim of my empty soda glass. At thirty-one, I thought I had gotten comfortable with myself, but tonight I felt strangely set-apart and exposed. My yo...

I'm 16. I'm 210 lbs/100 kg approximately, it fluctuates from lb to lb. I'm also 5'5 for reference. I've been insecure about my weight since I was 6 and some kid told me I was fat, and I haven't changed since so I never got over that, especially now I've been called it a couple more times recently (never to my face). I'm a size 16 in most things (uk sizes) but my jeans recently stopped fitting comfortably which is really annoying. My mum's getting a treadmill so "we can get off our a\*\*es more" and so I can lose weight for prom and so I'll still fit in the dress. My parents have never known I'm insecure so I'm worried tha...
