Why You Have To Take A More Aggressive Stance On Cancer . Top Story - May 2025.
What's Known and Easy to Find? After the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world dealt with more than a highly contagious virus. Continuing research began to uncover the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2, and as they did, researchers became more alarmed. There was an apparent rise in cancer diagnoses. Worse yet, the results of the pandemic interrupted the healthcare systems, screenings, and earlier treatments available.

Winston's world magazine. Top Story - May 2025.
As they clink glasses they regard each other, at first with a knowing look in their eyes then just the hint of a smile but nothing more. Hetty and Charlotte go so far back that the new team members consider them as ‘precious antiques’, which they did not take as a compliment but rather an insight into their colleagues' thought process. Kinder comments they had heard and also much worse.

Introducing The New Vocal Leaderboard
It's been almost two years since we launched the Vocal Leaderboards. In that time we've been able to highlight a lot of incredible stories and creators that shape this platform. At the same time, we've also had to sort through more than our fair share of AI, spam and quite frankly garbage content to get there too.

Just Keep Talking .... Dont Keep It Hidden. Top Story - May 2025.
Introduction This just popped up in my Seven Days In Top Twenty, and I think it contains some interesting concepts, but I still won't reveal the secret. I suppose this is part confessional, but ten years ago I was going to see various friends and tomorrow I am going to see friends and family, including Harry whom I have not seen since the nineteen seventies.

Should I Try This Surprisingly Profitable Side Hustle?. Top Story - May 2025.
Last night on my side hustle quest, I came across an article, “Six Realistic Side Hustles.” I skimmed through the options. I’ve read so many of these articles now and they’re all the same. Then I came across option number four: “Dog Poop Pickup: The Surprisingly Profitable Side Hustle.” I love that this wasn’t even at the end as an afterthought, it was smack bang in the middle of the article! That makes it a serious side hustle option.

Submitted, Objectively. Top Story - May 2025.
To those who’ve known and never heard of such ideas, “It’s a cult,” they yammer. Like blood spilling from their frothy lips, they speak of sacrifice and dying and suffering. They, however, never speak of joy, life, and excellence to be found on this Earth. They, still, call it a cult. The irony is overwhelming, their system of fate relates to tribalistic leanings and following mystical patterns that would herd all heads under a single yoke. After, they would be plucked one by one with the simplest assertion that their faith cannot be tested. One thing is to believe in something. Another is to say it’s real. If you believe in something, you don’t have to say it's real because it already exists.

Divine Alignment. Top Story - May 2025.
I have been on my own personal spiritual quest for true divine alignment for some time now, and while I have been walking my path, I have come to a profound realization. Gaining spiritual strength is not something that can simply be accomplished by taking in knowledge pertaining to spiritual concepts, or by listening to the experiences of other spiritual practitioners.

Hollow Talks. Top Story - May 2025.
I haven't come to terms with seeing you only for small talk. Our existence together was a dance, an easy sliding of tectonic plates over one another. No friction. No catches. Just smooth sailing, you and I. It was effortless, like breathing in the morning fog.
