The Man Who Couldn't Die
David Bennett was fifty-seven years old when he became the first person to receive a genetically modified pig heart transplant in January 2022, a medical milestone that made international headlines and was celebrated as a breakthrough in xenotransplantation that could solve the organ shortage crisis and save thousands of lives, but what the triumphant press releases did not mention was that David had not initially wanted the experimental procedure and had only consented after being told he was ineligible for a human heart transplant and would die within weeks without intervention, and what happened during the two months he survived with the pig heart inside his chest before finally dying raises profound ethical questions about medical experimentation on desperate patients who have no other options and about whether extending biological life at any cost represents genuine medical success or a form of torture that serves researchers' ambitions more than patients' wellbeing.

Stranger Danger. Content Warning.
“Booty going up down,” I scream as I make my way to the dancefloor. Some good old T-Pain blasting through the speakers and a few tequila shots is just what I needed. It's been forever since I've been out with my girls and just let loose. But after the crappy day I had at work, letting loose was just what I needed. The colorful lights cutting through the dark, the hot clammy air, and the smell of cheap perfumes, alcohol, and sweat don't faze me as I twerk all my sorrows away. A big manly hand lands on my waist. Firmly but gently, I'm being held, and without even looking to see who this stranger is, I turn it up a notch as the DJ smoothly transitions into dancehall. Dancehall Queen starts blasting through the club, and it's on. Time to show these suckers who the real dancehall queen is. As I bump and grind on this stranger, his grip becomes firmer, and it awakens my curiosity. Without being too obvious, I decide to see who I'm dancing with. The club is dark, and so is he as I catch a glimpse of him. Just enough for me to confirm that I like what I see. In one smooth movement, I turn around, and we're now dancing face to face. He's wearing a black satin button-up that shows a big part of his chest, which is glistening with sweat.

The Bride! Review: When Female Rage Refuses to Stay Silent
The Bride! is a wonderful examination of female rage: how meticulous, curated, and frankly undignified it is to control that anger when it is directed at systems of oppression—and how freeing its release can be. Not necessarily in criminal ways, but in acts that bring justice to that rage and some fitting resolution to violence that has long been ignored, barely scratching the surface of what women endure.
