Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Finally, I have watched the new retake 🎬🍿of the movie 🎦 “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”. These were a few things that Stood out to me:
HandsomelouiiThePoet (Lonzo ward)Published 6 days ago in CritiqueStrategies to Make Your "Vocal Writing Awards" Submissions EVEN BETTER
You’ve poured yourself into creating an amazing story. You've read it through several times. Yet perhaps you hesitate before pressing “submit,” wondering: What could I do to make it even better?
Sonia Heidi UnruhPublished 6 days ago in CritiqueRip This To Shreds (Please?)
L.C. Shaëfer and Paul Stewart inspired me to finally participate in the #IronMaiden critique challenge. (Go check out their articles, linked previously.) I have made a list of stories I feel could use more insights, whether from lack of engagement here, or because they were rejected elsewhere, or simply because I've come to cringe at them and would like to like them again.
Mackenzie DavisPublished 11 days ago in CritiqueTen Writers I Need to Recommend
I seem to have stirred a pot a little too hard for some of you. In a previous piece entitled “Ten Writers I Can No Longer Read,” I listed the names of authors that I now avoid, with some fair reasons for my choices (I even included a list of other runners-up that could have made the list longer).
Kendall DefoePublished 25 days ago in CritiqueCritiques That Didn't Squeak
Thank you To Vocal for this challenge. I don't expect to place, but it was a lot of fun. It got me writing again after long creaky weeks of frustration and a dearth of creativity.
L.C. SchäferPublished about a month ago in CritiqueCollege Degrees
The most expensive piece of paper one may ever own. Signed off and sealed, making the empty promises that higher education brings extra official. Garnered after many nights of justified tears and many words written on topics one can't even remember. C's get degrees, but good jobs are never promised.
Ashley LimaPublished about a month ago in CritiqueLady and The Tramp
In this heartwarming romantic mythology, an adequate re-telling of the 1955 invigorated time-honored Story, Lady, an overachieving, pampered American Cocker Spaniel house dog, and Tramp, a formidable but charming, fast-talking stray, embark on a spontaneous adventure and, despite their dissimilarities, cultivate nigher and come to apprehend the significance of home.
HandsomelouiiThePoet (Lonzo ward)Published about a month ago in CritiqueShaun of the Dead (Critique)
My all-time favourite movie, certainly my favourite Z-word movie. Funny, jam-packed with references to iconic movies, quotable to the nth degree. A tale of survival, love and friendship. Pegg/Frost's masterpiece. Perfection!

Accountability
Accountability The conversation between men and women has shed light on many issues. It still gets out of hand quickly. The main issue I’ve observed has been that when it comes to accountability, the blame gets placed on one party and one party alone- Which is funny because most of these conversations have both sides admitting that accountability is needed. So, who takes accountability? And when do you take accountability?
Dylan-Quinn HarrisPublished about 7 hours ago in CritiqueBENEATH THE SURFACE
In the shadows of despair, the echo of "You are not alone" resonates, attempting to bridge the chasm of isolation. At its surface level, it seems to be an embodiment of concern, care, and hope. However, beneath the surface of this well-intentioned reassurance lies a profound inadequacy. To me, these words seem more of a paradox than an effective coping mechanism, let alone something passed as a means of support or upliftment. The phrase, meant to extend solace, often crumbles under the weight of its own hollowness, leaving the afflicted yearning for a more profound connection.
Aadyot KarnaPublished a day ago in CritiqueThe claim that there is a growing presence of fascism in the United States.
It's been nearly a year, or perhaps exactly one year, or maybe just a bit over a year—I'm writing this in December. Let's just say it's been approximately a year since the strangest day in recent American history. During this time, things haven't been particularly pleasant. The far-right appears to be growing in power and influence under the Biden administration, and in this episode, we will delve deeper into this issue because it poses a concerning omen for the future of American politics. Let's begin.
Daud MahmoodPublished a day ago in CritiqueSaw X: The tenth Portion Restores the Tradition of Jigsaw
Saw X is the tenth Saw film that has a X in the title since it's way cooler to say 'X' than '10'. This film denotes a huge re-visitation of the contorted universe of Jigsaw, with Tobin Ringer repeating his notorious job as John Kramer. While not precisely a prequel, it happens after the primary Saw yet before the second, procuring it the title of "Saw 1.5." In this portion, we dig further into John Kramer's personality, investigating his own excursion and moral code.
"Where is Paradise?" - Africa Questions
"Where is Paradise?" - Africa Questions Africa, often referred to as the "Cradle of Humanity," has always captivated explorers, adventurers, and dreamers with its mystique and allure. It's a continent of astounding diversity, both in terms of its landscapes and its people. For many, Africa is nothing short of paradise, a place where dreams are realized and memories are etched into the soul.
What's That Sound?
I have called you all here today to talk about the art of onomatopoeia. For those of you unsure, an onomatopoeia is the written version of a sound or the formation of a word from a sound associated with its name. Some of my favourite examples of onomatopoeia are beep, honk, and click.
Navigating the Maze of Political Knowledge: A Guide for Beginners
Are you new to the world of politics and looking for a roadmap to understand it better? If you recently completed the Political Compass test and are wondering where to go from there, this article is here to help. Before we dive in, remember that your interest in politics, regardless of your test results, is a commendable step toward becoming a more informed citizen.
The Male-Female Dynamic
In a world where TV shows often portray the normalcy of boys and girls forming deep friendships, questions arise about the true nature of these relationships. Some view them skeptically, fearing they may evolve into something more than just friendship, perhaps akin to 'friends with benefits.' Throughout our lives, we've been taught that men and women have distinct responsibilities and roles, an idea deeply ingrained in society. However, this perspective becomes confining when men insist that a girl can be their best friend and that this friendship can be as pure as that between two female friends. In my piece, I aim to explore the nuanced dynamics between men and women, a topic I will delve into in detail. Recently, I've come across evidence that sheds light on how destructive such male-female friendships can be. I know someone who had to bear the consequences of considering a man his best friend, only to discover that the man viewed her as a romantic interest while pretending to be just a friend. This experience has led me to question whether true platonic friendship is achievable between the sexes.
