How Climate Anxiety Is Reshaping Life Decisions . Top Story - April 2026.
The saying that the future is in our own hands is ever so true, and climate change and concerns for the environment is a thing. The concept of Eco and Climate Anxiety is so real. On this, the entire world was brought into a war with Iran from the 28th of February 2026, where uncertainty is reigning over access to fuel (particularly diesel for agricultural purposes). Not only does this "fuel (and possibly energy) crisis" change people's behaviours and actions; it is also impacting peoples deep psyches and their mental health. WiFiTalents reports that 60% of adults in the US confess to having a little to some level of eco anxiety.

Personal Space. Top Story - April 2026.
For some reason, it seems to be unpopular to have the opinion of wanting personal space. I do very much miss the days when it was illegal to come within 6 feet of anyone else and I would like the earth to go back to that because what the hell is everyone on nowadays?

Thirty (one) and Neither Flirty nor Thriving. . Top Story - March 2026.
I'm thirty-one and orbiting the same few mistakes like they're landmarks. London is already awake before I am (or before I've slept) - sirens somewhere far enough to ignore, buses sighing at stops, people moving with purpose I can't quite borrow. I lie there for a bit, tasting last night at the back of my throat, trying to remember if I meant to drink that much or if it just...happened again.

The Friendship Recession: Why Adults Are Struggling To Build Close Relationships. Top Story - March 2026.
This is a universal phenomenon that is affecting both individual and collective psyches. Humans thrive on companionship. The pandemic is solely to blame, however that particular far from auspicious time is not really to blame.

Midnight Thoughts. Top Story - March 2026.
I'm not sure who I am these days except a bundle of questions and dreams. I'm closer to thirty than twenty, which in many eyes is still young, and yet I feel like I've lived lifetime after lifetime, and still, not lived quite enough. I'm tired. The kind of tired that sits so heavy in your bones it keeps you from falling asleep. Does everyone feel this way? Sticky with sweetness? Sick with hope? Muddied, unfinished, closer than ever before to death?

The BAFTA Awards. Top Story - March 2026.
By now, in a stunning departure from recent years, most of the world is aware of what happened at the BAFTA film awards.
