16.4 billion hours per day are spent performing unpaid care labour, as per data from the International Labour Organisation which is based on two-thirds of the world’s working age population. This statistic can be understood as 2 billion individuals working 8 hours every day withou...

Looking back at myself as a kid, mostly through stories I’ve been told by family members, there’s no question in my mind why I am the way I am today. It’s pretty obvious to me that I have always been an introvert. Well, it wasn’t obvious to them. They couldn’t understa...

Journey into the unconventional avenues of self-improvement. If you’re seeking the customary nuggets of advice, hold onto your hats for a whirlwind of whimsy instead. Because sometimes, the path to enlightenment is paved with unorthodox ideas… 1. Mirror Pep Talks Point at the ...

The term “Artificial intelligence” (AI) gets thrown around a lot in the tech space. It’s one of those buzzwords everyone has heard, but few really understand. The U.S. State Dept. quotes the National Artificial Intelligence Act of 2020 saying “The term ‘artifi...

Blogging platform Medium (yes, this one) is no exception, except maybe that their troubles have gone on longer: the company announced layoffs in both 2021 and 2022. The platform has been described by its own writers as slowly dying. And yet — the opposite might be t...

For centuries, society told a story about women: Women are dumber than men, are only good for having babies, should obey their husbands, and are nothing without one. Your careers, if you have one, can relate to the cooking, cleaning and child-rearing you do at home. If we let women run a countr...

I always do my very best to not use hyperbole…but in the last 15 times I was supposed to meet up (including tonight)…I “ghosted” again for the 13th time! I have the best intentions, but about 20 min. prior…I just “No thanks” when I think of what else I co...

Depending on who you read and how many military members they interviewed, sexual assault statistics range from an intolerable 8% to an incomprehensible 25% of military women. It happens to substantially fewer men, but the number is still tragic and disgusting. We’re talking tens of thousands a...

The outrage is growing universally at the white supremacists who commit all (or nearly all) the mass shooting with the military assault rifle, the AR-15. Despite that fact, little has been said about how We the Taxpayer are funding the ammunition filling the magazines. So much for the lauded and pho...

Cannabis is an incredible plant that can be grown in a tiny pot or spread freely across mountains in the wild. Over the years, cultivation methods have evolved to meet the needs of different microclimates, yield quotas, and sustainability imperatives. My company uses aeroponic methods instead of&nbs...

Grow pot indoors is ounces of fun — literally — and yet can be extremely frustrating, as well. It seems that no matter how perfect of a cultivation environment you create, some seeds simply produce genetically crappy weed. I grew a couple of autoflower White Widow beauties that ended ...

Imagine a world where researchers & doctors could grow miniature versions of your organs in a laboratory, allowing them to test different treatments and medications without any risk to your health.
