Ever wonder what they'd say?

A Conversation Between a Hedgehog and Yorkshire Terrier
Ashley Bardon

This is my parents Yorkie, Theo.

This is my hedgehog, Quilliam.

They’ve never actually met because my parents live in a different state from me, and I’m 90% certain that Theo would try and eat Q if they actually met, but these are some things I think they would say to each other if they could.

T: Did you see that flying thing in the yard this morning? Don’t worry, I took care of them, I don’t think they’ll be bothering us ever again.

Q: I’m in a cage.

T: And?????

Q: NO. I DID NOT SEE THE FLYING THING.

T: And now you won’t have to. You’re welcome. You can send gifts to the toy box next to the TV.

Q: Did you just run after it?

T: Yeah and now it won’t be bothering us again! I took care of it!

Q: You didn’t take care of anything! You literally ran after something you had no hope of reaching and it flew away. Probably because your bark is annoying.

T: That’s not very nice!

Q: Sorry, I’m just a little grumpy because the humans keep me up all day! What savagery! Their sleep and wake times are totally backwards, honestly, it’s the worst.

T: They’re good to cuddle with, though!

Q: No, no, no. No, thank you. I just want to run on my wheel and be left alone.

Q: YES.

T: What? WHAT? ARE THEY HOME????

Q: No, but they left me some mealworms. They never do this. I must be in Heaven.

T: That’s disgusting. You’re disgusting.

Q: Suit yourself, more for me.

T: Do you think they’re coming back?...

Q: I don’t know anymore… They have been gone for a while…

*door creaks*

T and Q: THEY’RE HOME, THEY’RE HOME, THE HUMANS HAVE COME BACK

Q: Alright play it cool, man. Maybe they’re just trying to make us jealous by going out all the time. If we act non fussed, maybe they’ll stay home more.

T: NO CHILL.

Q: Why are you never in a cage? We aren’t feral animals,Theo! Get your life sorted out!

T: I have the freedom to roam without the humans getting scared that I will run off or get myself in a sticky or dangerous situation. Who’s the real feral animal here?

Q: My life is just very structured. It’s not a bad thing.

T: Uh-huh. Sure. Keep telling yourself that.

Zuri: Okay but did y’all see this dope castle I have. I’m the mother-f-ing Queen. Watch out.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
