Margaret Mitchell: author of Gone With the Wind
Margaret Mitchell only wrote one novel that anyone has ever heard about, but that one (“Gone With The Wind”) was enough to make her name universally known, not least because of the blockbuster motion picture that was made from the story.

Assuming you’re in any way similar to me, you presumably love making a trip to various shows. You most likely love to cosplay also! In any case, in case you’re going to a show that is in excess of a couple of moments from home, you will require a cosplay fix unit. Yet, what ought to be in that pack?

The high expectations of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl on regular women
During quarantine, I've tapped into a rich stream of entertainment, that being the abundance of romantic comedies or how we like to call it rom-coms. I was not someone who liked watching romantic comedies considering I'm not a frim believer on the idea of love, especially soulmate inducing love. But due to the dry run of my favourite shows, I sat down and tried to watch some rom-coms. One thing that stood out to me instantly was the girl protagonist. She would be this Mary Sue character, a character who is unrealistically flawless, with her only purpose being to fix the male protagonist's problem and making him a better person.
Book Review: "Men Who Hate Women" by Laura Bates
Before I read this book, I definitely had heard of Laura Bates before. Like other feminists that have since become more and more famous by the day - she has become steeped in the culture of female liberation from the very beginning. Since then, she has started to climb the ladder of being a person who is qualified to speak about gender and sex related issues but from time to time I will not lie and say that I don’t worry about the way in which she presents herself as an academic writer of ‘essays’. Be that as it may, there are many good arguments within this book that too, deserve extra attention for their ability to not create a binary of Men vs. Women but show how the two are equally disadvantaged by the upholding of these blatantly sexist ideas that are held by the groups in question within the text.

Both detectives visited the Forman household and spoke to Mark's wife, Lydia, about the charges against her husband, with Lydia appearing to be concerned and shocked regarding Mark. As for Mark, he stated that he only talked to Natalie and added that it was nice to experience a friendly conversation with a woman, as he never got that with Lydia.

Snaggletooth is the best cosplayer you haven’t heard of.
One of the more unique cosplay accounts on Instagram you can follow is @snaggletoothu. While other cosplayers are all doing the same trendy character of the moment, Snaggletooth is more likely to be digging up a character from Blade Runner to portray. She can sing, play the guitar and paint. She describes herself as 5"6', 130lbs and mostly muscle. She practices for live action role play battles by going up against guys twice her size and weight. And for some reason she was terrified to talk to me. But hey, bravery isn’t having no fear, it’s being afraid and acting anyway. Conversation below has been lightly edited for clarity.

Scott and Liesl should be taken seriously on ‘ General Hospital’
Scott Baldwin and Liesl Obrecht have the makings of a true super couple if the GENERAL HOSPITAL writers take them in the proper direction. Right now they are cute together and just beginning to get to know one another. Ken Shriner is 67 and Kathleen Gati 63.They are members of a generation that is much in need of representation on daytime. There is a lot of emphasis on the youth on daytime television but mature couples should be shown as being romantic as well. There was a time when the older couples were the staples of the soaps.
