satire

Relationship satire can be cathartic; when love hurts too much, just laugh.

Mother's Slippers
Arif grew up in a humble mud house on the edge of a small village. His father had passed away when he was just five years old. The world didn’t pause, but his mother did. She paused her dreams, her comfort, her rest—just to raise him.

The Haircut, the Heart, and Holding On
I never thought a haircut would make me cry. Not in the dramatic, just-got-dumped kind of way. Not even because it was botched. But because of who it was for, and what it meant.

Chin~Music . Content Warning.
~Respect for women's rights to privacy~ Hit This ~ The image of David & Goliath came to my mind with this sketch to capture how lopsided this is. With all the hoopla that's going on, I don't want to take sides. I don't have a clue what the current buzz groups are labeling this - we all have our 'Slants' on these things; who's right? Is there a right or wrong?

Am I worthy. Top Story - May 2025.
My grade twelve literature teacher’s words washed over me like a wet mop on vomit. “You were supposed to write a personal essay about yourself, an open honest review, why didn’t you do this?”

"I've been trying to figure you out"
We were at a bar last night, well, a theatre bar, Soho Theatre bar to be exact. Possibly my favourite place in London, the only place I have left laced with over a decade of memories, the place that feels a bit like Home. And there we were sipping on frozen margaritas, about to watch a sell-out show by the FABULOUS Rosalie Minnitt: Clementine (link below if you fancy looking, some great clips online). And as we sipped I let slip that one of my biggest dreams was to have my poster on the wall in the Soho Theatre Bar, it's covered, absolutely covered with hundreds if not thousands of posters from shows over the last few decades, and everytime I go more shows are added, older ones peaking through, a gorgeous patchwork of comedy and theatre and odd little quirky or controversial shows that wouldn't have found a home anywhere else but there.

The Love Renaissance: What Gen Z's Relationships Reveal About Modern Connection
Are Gen Zers sabotaging the true essence of romance or redefining it? Or they simply might be building something more intentional, resilient, and emotionally intelligent than any generation before. Once upon a time, romance came with rules. Handwritten letters, carefully curated phone calls, and silent nods of the elderly were the foundational stance of old-school love. But now, emojis, dating apps, and Instagram reels document love stories.

Can We Be Friends With Our Exes? A Yay or a No Go?. AI-Generated.

Welcome to the UK and Goodbye
United Kingdom in 2025-a land where nostalgia for “the good old days” is the only thing growing faster than NHS waiting lists, and where the phrase “quality of life” is now mostly used ironically at dinner parties (assuming you can still afford dinner).
