What is wrong with you?

Dear Hayley Geftman-Gold,

What in the world is wrong with you?

I get it you are allowed to have your own ideas and you are free to express them. Why on earth would you openly post something like this on social media?

Do you have any compassion and empathy? A post like this seems to prove otherwise. You cannot assume that everyone who listens to Country music is the type of person you are describing. It is like saying all people who listen to rap music are gangsters and into drugs and drinking. This is a stereotype you are saying is the end all be all.

How does it feel to have lost your job over this? You were a woman in power and at a great place to be at, and you threw it all away by not making smart decisions about what you post online. Especially since you said that there should be no sympathy for the 59 people that died and the 500+ injured. That is just sick!

The thing is though I am not going to say I wish you were in some situation that caused you harm. I am not like you I just wish that someday you will understand how to be a human. I want you to show compassion and care about others.

I pray that someday you wake up and realize that no matter what someone's belief is when an innocent person dies it is a tragedy. I hope that you didn't only apologize because you were sorry you got caught and lost your job or that someone told you to apologize. I hope one day you will one day see that if one innocent person dies it is a tragedy, more than one person died.

I hope you have done some thinking about all this and next time if you think something, that doesn't always mean you post it online.


Sincerely,

Someone who cares

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.
