Challenge
Little My
Rainy summer day. Little Cristal, in her red polka-dotted dress, shoulder-dances to the radio. My high blond pigtails bounce around my head as I click the final piece into a puzzle I've done a hundred times before. Yet, I still enjoy it just as much as the first time.

Can AI Detectors Handle Translated or Paraphrased Text? I Tested It
Let me start with a confession: I’ve paraphrased AI content. I’ve translated it. I’ve fed my own words into rewriting tools just to see what would come back out. Not to cheat or cut corners—but to experiment. To understand how much of “me” still remains when a machine reshapes my sentences. But mostly, I did it to answer a question I’ve heard too often lately: Can AI detectors actually catch paraphrased or translated content?

Everyone Gets a Soapbox
The Bell Tolls for You! Oyez, oyez, oyez! Hear ye, hear ye! Undust your bell. Get your cause on. The soapbox is yours. In honor of International Town Criers Day (second Monday in July), and with a nod to the International Day of Friendship (30th July).

My scarred hand gave me freedom. Content Warning.
I was 10 years old when I first wanted to kill myself. I think the thought has been always present inside of me, like a warm, painful liquor, pushing aside my organs and making me unable to breathe. But I didn’t understand it before – the want.

How Logical
This is definitely a cheat. I am talking about my choice of song for Annie Kapur’s private Challenge, “Sing us the Song of the Century”. I could have chosen so many famous numbers from the twentieth century (assuming that this is the century that she is referring to; I am not too attracted to the noises of our new age). But I have to go back to a song that I have already written about on this page. As I said, this is definitely a cheat.
