A Fateful Event For Geminis
For those born between May 21 and June 20, your zodiac sign is Gemini. Latin for "twins" and representing Castor and Pollux in Greek mythology, Marilyn Monroe, Angelina Jolie, Lucy Hale, and many other famous individuals fall under this sign. When it comes to pairs, there are probably none as well known in the west as the Gemini twins. In the Greek myth, the love that brother had for brother was so strong, that it even moved Zeus. Gemini is synonymous not just with twins, but with pure dedication between two individuals. NASA even named its two person space capsule "Gemini."

There've been a number of reports in recent days about government admissions of UFOs or as they often call them UAPs (Unidentified Alien Phenomena). Even Obama chimed in on the issue. UFOs often stir up comments on aliens visiting the Earth and governments covering it up.

I’m Race-Fluid and was Cancelled for it
I’m race-fluid and don’t really consider myself any race. It’s an interesting experience being race-fluid in a world that is so polarized by racial politics. But I can’t change who I am, and don’t think anyone who is race-fluid or transracial should have to change who they are. Unfortunately certain communities disagree.

A Ship on the (Event) Horizon
Log. Captain Davis, May 17, 2051 We're preparing final tests for the new black star drive. It's an odd piece of technology. Normally a human ship would never have the sufficient energy reserves to travel at high speeds through the galaxy. But scientists have come up with this drive as a solution.

Checking Out Allan's Falafel at the Crystal Run Galleria Mall
I became spoiled when I lived in New Paltz. There were so many places to eat and drink that I never had to worry about finding something of high quality. When I moved back to Goshen, it was sadly much more difficult to find. There were a few locations with really great food and drink, but they declined over time, and I've been looking for something new. Luckily, Allan's Falafel opened a new location at the Crystal Run Galleria mall and I couldn't be happier.

Content Creators Should be Accepting $BAT
Let's face it. Getting any kind of revenue from content creation is difficult. Really difficult. And so we rely on a lot of different options. A lot of content creators have PayPal accounts, a Patreon, a Ko-Fi, and so on. They're all great options, but one option is seriously overlooked: Brave. Both content creators and fans alike should be using Brave to support each other.

Want Wonderful Italian Food, With Spectacular Service?
I'm somewhat particular about restaurants. There are a lot of "okay" restaurants out there, but there are very few really memorable ones. Every once in a while you find a local gem. And for me, one specific place comes to mind.

Understanding Anxiety, Panic, and the Utility and Limits of Therapy
Anxiety and panic are two closely related psychophysiological (relating to both the mental and bodily state) concepts. But they're not the same, and their differences can be a bit confusing. It's also a common misconception that anxiety and panic are always bad things. They're not. They can be good. However, when they become detrimental to our health and ability to function, we need to seek help.
