Bucket List
It was going to be another windy day Beatrice sighed as she closed the trunk of her car and turned towards the direction of the beach. After almost three years in the community treasure hunting club, it seemed that she was the only one left to uncover any sort of prize. With her new metal detector sitting patiently inside the large case, Beatrice hoped that today would be the day she discovered at least an old coin or an antique locket. Similar trinkets had been found recently by her good friends Evangeline and Iris. They were always finding new things along the shore but this was a new beach and to Beatrice, that meant new possibilities.

A Million and Seven Ways to Live
Twenty grand could change a life. At least depending on where I was for the moment and assuming I could keep the money over the time hops. But the sign had been here for a week. The games and challenges had changed with every jump, yet the poster stayed. Always said twenty grand.

From Trash To Treasure
The pounding at the door woke Bruce up. Pounding that was only slightly louder than the ringing in his ears. Apparently, he has overindulged, overslept, and is probably the housekeeper knocking. As he tried to clear his head, Bruce started to remember that he was staying at the Kahlo Hotel, has a new album due in three months, and needed to get to the studio in London.

A Twenty-Thousand Dollar Tale
I remember a time not so long ago, or maybe it was… sorry my memory has faded over the years, but I remember a time when I was wanted by all. I mean, let me tell you, I was the topic of discussion everywhere! All the popular crowds raved about me, and all the undesirables tried their damndest to shut me up. Maybe it was because I was so blunt, so…exciting, so full of promise, and Lord I had been known in my day to fulfill those dark submissive promises, sometimes within a minute and others within a day or two.

LGBTQ+ characters on our screens changed my life!
Representation of the LGBTQ+ community, not only on our screens but also in music, in theatre, in literature, in the media, feels more present than ever before. But it’s still not enough. ‘Netflix is going through a gay phase,’ is a comment I heard recently. As though it's something temporary and will pass. Here is why we are only just scratching the surface on LGBTQ+ representation.

An Innovating Inventor: George Washington Carver
As an innovating inventor, George Washington Carver was an agricultural researcher, agronomic chemist, and mycologist (an individual who works with fungi, living organisms, molds, yeast, and mushrooms), just to mention a few of his many talents. Mr. Carver created hundreds of products using (groundnuts) peanuts (Mr. Carver cultivated a style of peanut butter, but did not invent it, as he is often credited), sweet potatoes, and soybeans. Mr. Carver is credited with helping alter the agricultural market of the South. For the majority of his career, he educated and researched at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, now named Tuskegee University located in Tuskegee, Alabama.

Tristan Tzara: The Tsar of Dadaism
This post was created with the support of OpenAI. In the vibrant canvas of art history, I have often found myself lost and inspired in the intricate narratives that echo through time. As a theatre practitioner, the entwined paths of different art movements and their revolutionary ideologies have always held a certain allure, beckoning me to explore them deeper. It is a journey of relentless exploration, where the inspiring tales of yesteryears artists echo fervently, shaping my perception and influencing my craft almost incessantly.
