Upset about registering all backyard chickens, no matter the flock size?
Starting this fall, all poultrykeepers—even those with a small backyard flock of just a few birds—must record their flocks on the national register. There are mixed emotions on the subject, and we want to know what you think about the whole thing if you have a flock here in the U.S.

The Last Embrace of Home
The wind howled through the desolate streets, carrying with it the scent of decay and destruction. It whispered secrets of a world lost to time, of a home that once thrived with life and laughter, now reduced to a mere echo of its former self. Sarah stood at the edge of the crumbling cliff, gazing out at the landscape that had been her sanctuary, her solace, now ravaged by the relentless march of progress.

Environmental injustice
There, in the heart of this boiling megapolis, lies a forgotten angle that skyscrapers reach out to in the sky with their tops and at night with neon lights to paint infinity. There existed a neighbourhood, stifled by the suffocating grip of an environmental injustice amidst the shadows of high factories, towering; and neighbourhoods neglected by the upper society.

The Last Oasis, Life by the Shore.
In a small coastal town, nestled between towering cliffs and azure waters, lived a community that thrived off the bounty of the sea. The villagers, led by Emma, had forged a deep connection with their environment. For generations, they relied on fishing as their main livelihood and took pride in living in harmony with nature. Each day brought new adventures as families sailed into the horizon, casting their nets and sharing stories of triumphs and challenges.

A Tribute To Women - What the Hell is Botanical Sexism?
The food I bought at the market is possible because of the female trees. Being a female comes with more fight for life. So much is expected of us and most of us give without thought. Fighting for equal rights in almost all areas of life including our bodies is frustrating. But for me, all this fight just made me stronger. Yesterday was International Women's Day to celebrate females. All of us add something to our world that improves it directly, or indirectly.

The Last Song of the Swallow
The sunsets over the rolling hills of Crestwood had always been a spectacle of breathtaking beauty. But tonight, as Emma stood on the porch of her family's farmhouse, watching the fading light paint the sky in shades of orange and pink, there was an ache in her heart that no amount of natural splendor could soothe.
