This is an invented virtual journey because of an architecture addict’s arch zeal.
‘All Aboard!’
When Elon Musk builds an accessory that we could wear like this watch in this story’s photo that is also a time machine (‘cuz he is that contemporary with the vision whom I’d expect could arrange its financing and execution as he has done so so enchantedly with SpaceX), I’d win that Willy Wonka ticket from him to take the ride of a lifetime to go back in time.
That special watch with a touch of the dial could beam anyone along with me who wants to…
Wisdom of People
An intense conversation between controversial stars, Generation Xer to Millennial Vlogger
In the most unlikely of places and people you might not have expected to find or hear of interesting thoughts on the mysteries of life or even witness in action the mentality of a true champion fighter, would be in this podcast interview with legendary boxer, Mike Tyson, with young, controversially rambunctious (then 17–18, now 25), Logan Paul.
But ‘it could happen’ — a famous phrase belted out by Tyson that made waves of laughter even a stand-up comedian felt was the inadvertent genius of Mike Tyson, in the middle of one of Mike Tyson’s own podcasts with stand-up comedian…
Life in Language
The origins of the tree zodiac & the wisdom & language of the ancient Celts
[Main photo: The Druid Grove dtd 1845; “A bearded and robed man sits in the shade of a giant tree, probably an oak tree; in the background a group of three robed figures surrounds a smaller tree.”]
The language (and personality) of trees has apparently been known for more than a few thousands of years by the amazing lost history of the Celts. Below is a fun historical poem I made just for you:
Key:
English
Gaeilge [Irish]
᚛ᚌᚐᚓᚔᚂᚌᚓ᚜ [ogham — for ‘Gaeilge’]
Latine [Latin]

Cultural Heritage

Vintage is good. Vintage is also arguably primary. That is, earlier to now — and sometimes to then — being earlier or first than to even then. It is also quality. From Google Search under “vintage” (beyond wine as the primary definition),
“2. the time that something of quality was produced.
…
2. denoting something from the past of high quality, especially something representing the best of its kind.”
So it may not surprise you to realize that there were dominating details from the past from obvious origins that are now evidenced in the remnants of the fashion and detailing…

August 2021 is a special month on this platform as a formally announced Writer’s Competition has been issued to much delight and excitement of many platform users because of the high stakes involved, including huge publicity and the large cash prizes available.
The formal announcement, here.
As with any contest, some writers were keen to read the fine print to the contest and comb through some of the verbiage that seemed concerning, regarding authors’ ‘rights’ and compensation for ‘derivative works’ — which is taking your entry beyond the contest and the company being able to assign, sell, and/or create profitable…

Those earlier stories embedded below:
Why were those wish lists important?

When SEO matters for internal search
The goal of this publication is to provide valuable information that may be useful in your own writing journey on this platform. Too many things seem hidden or unobvious which can be greatly disappointing when you put in a lot of effort into publishing your story which then falls flat or seems to evaporate into the ether yet it was not because of the content, but rather because of not knowing how the system works and how to use it in your favor.
