The Economy as Presented by Waffles
Something about preparing breakfast for my children this morning got me thinking about some economic concepts, and if you too are a parent, you'll quickly be able to relate why. There are many ways in which parenting can offer great examples of basic economic principles, in more ways than financially. Obviously, microeconomics (i.e. household budgets, providing for a family of 6+ on a single income, etc) are implied in the domestic duties which accompany parenthood. Specifically, I am speaking of the principles of equity and equality (two often confused principles, whether speaking in economic or social terms) and scarcity. I love to make sourdough waffles (a great way to use up sourdough discard...*cough cough* stretching and allocating resources is an example of elasticity) and freeze them for a quick breakfast option when we're short on time...or the chickens have been slacking on their end of the breakfast production. But we've had to use these more often as of late, due to busy schedules, appointments, and some sickiness going around the house.

It's Happened Twice Now
Friends, Vocalians, Gentle-Writers, lend me your eyes I come to lambast AI, not praise it. Twice now I have seen something most odd in the fae wild that is Vocal. Our pastures and meadows of earnest creation are rife with the unhuman scourge of automation. Not the automation that liberated our ancestors from manual labour, but rather a kind of automation that seeks to remove the human factor from art.

"Criticism Doesn’t Mean Failure: Learning to Stay Calm Under Workplace Pressure"
There are days when I feel like I’ve given my best at work. Sorting documents, making sure every procedure is followed, handling administrative tasks without missing a step. But still, the criticism comes. Not in the form of constructive feedback, but raised voices echoing from the manager’s office. Suddenly, everything I’ve done feels meaningless. What I thought was right, turns out to be wrong. And all I can do is stand there, nod, and quietly swallow the moment.

A letter to the system that was never built for me. Runner-Up in I Resign From… Challenge.
I resign. No, this is not your traditional resignation letter. There are no two weeks’ notice from an unapologetic soul. No pretense of gratitude padded in euphemisms like “new opportunities” or “a fresh chapter.” No cordial signing off. I am not resigning from a company, a role, or a team. I am resigning from a system. A gaslit, rigged, suffocating machine built on structural racism, misogyny, false meritocracy, and a cycle that asks me to prove myself at every turn, only to be punished for succeeding.

All the Devils
"Hell is empty, and all the devils are here."— William Shakespeare, The Tempest (Act I, Scene II) People. Watch out for them. They'll rob you of everything--everything sacred to you. Everything valuable. They do this because Yahweh God created them to be "higher than the angels, lower than the devils." They're, by and large, a pretty rotten assortment, a cast of characters guaranteed to give you the midnight willies.

The Sheep
The sheep doesn’t usually think they are sheep. They see themselves as the main character when in reality they are not even side characters, all they are is a background character ( an NPC).

Five Years Without Alcohol or Cigarettes
They call me Chef. But for years, I was running on fumes — and I didn’t even realize it. I used to smoke. I never drank in the kitchen — that was a personal rule — but outside of work, a glass of wine here and there had become part of my routine. A social habit. Harmless on the surface. But exhausting in the long run.
