Dear Humans,

I wasn't aware that I had to remind you, but it has come to my attention that you've forgotten there are other creatures, on what this could once be called, beautiful planet. You call yourselves the top of the food chain, yet, you're not smart enough to realize you're destroying not only your home, but ours as well. You have the resources to fix this, but refuse to change.

Why I ask? Are we not worth saving? Do you really not care about future generations? Or are you just that close-minded and selfish? According to National Geographic, before humans evolved, less than one species per million years went extinct annually, but now it's up to 1,000 because of you people.

You have destroyed our homes to build your own.

You have places dedicated to your waste, yet you still throw and litter it where we try to live.

You abuse us and lock us up in tiny cages, labs, and circuses for your own amusement.

You test us with no mind to our well being, only caring about yours. There are other options that include not harming us, but you're too lazy to look or support those products and choose to buy from the big corporate brands that torture us on the daily.

Some of you even claim to love creatures like us, but still buy from big stores that get their animals from places that over bread their pets and have no care if it ends up killing or seriously harming the animal ( e.g. places like puppy mills).

The sad part is, you still rely on us for food, entertainment, help, and scientific purposes, but choose to treat us like the scum under your feet. We're not even treated like second- or even third-class citizens, no, were just props and objects in your eyes. If we had the option, we'd take a stand and refuse to aid you anymore, but we don't even have that choice. If we refuse, we're forced or even harmed or killed. We have no voice in what once to be our world.

Now, you've taken over and we have no option, but to just watch and see the ruins under your control. So we beg, from all the other creatures on this planet, please make a change humans. We're relying on you now.

Yours truly,

the other creatures on this planet

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
