Hand to the Fire
I keep touching the hot stove top. It keeps singeing my hand and I don’t know how to make the pain stop. Maybe if I touch it on the hottest part, the pain will stop. OUCH! What the hell. Why does it keep hurting me, burning me? And why, am I blistering. I know, let me increase the fire and touch it again. If it burns off the blisters, then the pain will stop. One of these times it has to stop. I’ll just keep changing it up a little here and a little there, until it does.

Multinational Crisis Part 5
If you had no idea there were people trying to defraud women and men online, you probably have been on a long staycation in the jungles of the Amazon, or you live under a rock. This is happening everyday and hundreds and thousands of times a day to as many people.

Multinational Crisis Part 4: Who Cares?
“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!” Facebook. Silent. TikTok. Silent Instagram, Threads, Lemon8, and every other social media, are not concerned with what is happening to you, women and men, on their platforms. They care only, for the mighty dollar and statistics.
