A 24-hour day is not enough anymore. I need a day to be at least 36 hours long with an option to extend it up to 48 hours.
The lead stories we cover here at SHOUT are all important and we work on these issues because we feel very strongly about them. More importantly, we strive to talk about them when we feel that the time is right. Some cover stories, however, are important to talk about no matter what time of the year it is. These subject matters are relevant all the time and this week’s cover story is one of them.
I very recently finished playing Red Dead Redemption 2, and I loved it. There are so many aspects of the game that deserve a thorough breaking down of their own.

Regarding mental health, there's always the talk about talking going around. However, no matter how many times people say that they are there to listen, it's not always that easy for the ones who are depressed.
Some nights ago I was scrolling through Instagram, as I do, and stumbled upon the story of a friend. She had posted screenshots from her personal blog; a fiction that wasn't written well enough to garner praise, according to her.
Ideas aren't that precious. We come up with a good idea every time we visit the washroom, but when you stop to think how many of these ideas we act on, the answer is often depressing.
