The Unseen Enemy

Protagonists are always in need of antagonists.

Silencing unpopular ideas, famous individuals with a large platform, and entire thought processes has been on the rise. Last week, forty-two episodes went missing from a well-known podcast’s archive leaving several listeners wondering why the episodes were removed.

The steady march of progress
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, March 26, 2021
It goes without saying that this past year has been a clusterfunk and a half. However despite all the upheaval, societal change, devastation and the final encroachment of light at the end of this exhaustingly long tunnel there has been much time to do the art things. As the months ...

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, March 13, 2021
