Among them stands James Parsons Jr. (1900–1989), a metallurgist and inventor whose work quietly laid important groundwork for the development of stainless steel—one of the most essential materials in modern technology, construction, and manufacturing.

I don’t care much for alarmist claims, especially when they concern the right and wrong ways to enjoy culture, but it’s hard to deny a shift hasn’t occurred. The “Post-Literate” world seems to be one where text, as a source of information and entertainment, has been overtaken by audiovisual media; podcasts, videos, streams, VoD, and TikToks.

Unhinged Healing - Raw Poetry For The Abused
The book that was never meant to be. In a moment of discontentment and boredom, I began to gather my poetry that was scattered across writing platforms, old journals, and forgotten documents on my Google Drive to bring some sort of organization to my writing portfolio. I realized I had a lot more poems than I thought I did. It was a joke at first. I said to my family, "Man. I didn't realize I had this many poems written. I could make a book of them." When my husband suggested actually making a poetry book to add to my portfolio with them, I almost automatically responded with: "Because I am no Poe or Emily Dickinson. No one wants to read my trash poems."
