The Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism. Core to Tibetan spirituality and political importance, the Dalai Lama is believed to reincarnate upon death as part of an unbroken lineage central to Tibetan identity and faith. Historically, the next Dalai Lama is identified within Tibet through spiritual and cultural rituals. In 1959, following a failed uprising against Chinese rule, the 14th Dalai Lama fled into exile and has since lived in India. China claims authority over approving the next reincarnation, aiming to exert control over Tibetan religious leadership. When a Dalai Lama dies, the next incarnation is identified through a combination of signs, visions, and rigorous testing by senior monks, ensuring the continuation of the spiritual mission. The 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, has indicated the possibility of his reincarnation being born outside of Tibet, even potentially in a "free world".

Stardew Valley is a farming game where players restore a rundown farm through activities like planting, mining, fishing, and building relationships. Each in-game day is limited by time and a health/energy bar that resets overnight. The game has no fixed end goal—players define success on their own terms.

To make mayonnaise in Stardew Valley, you'll need a Mayonnaise Machine and at least one egg from a chicken, duck or a void chicken, which requires a coop.

To craft a Mayonnaise Machine, you need: 15 wood, 15 stone, 1 earth crystal, 1 copper bar. You then need to place the egg in the Mayonnaise Machine, wait about 2 in-game hours for the mayonnaise to process. After processing, you'll get a jar of mayonnaise, which can be sold or used in recipes. The higher quality the egg, the higher priced the mayonnaise.

Carol Blevins was a former exotic dancer and methamphetamine user who worked as a confidential informant for the FBI. Between 2010 and 2016, she infiltrated the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (ABT), a violent white supremacist gang, leading to the arrest and conviction of over 1,300 members, including top ABT leadership James "Skitz" Samsell. Fueled with swastikas and Confederate flags, they did it all: peddled drugs, murdered innocent people, and controlled all of Texas through a paramilitarized-style system.

A day after meeting Carol, Skitz called her his "Featherwood": A servant, an object to be passed amongst the brothers and his girlfriend. “Aryan Princess” became her nickname throughout the organization. Her life represents a contradiction - one side of hers an unapologetic racist oozing contempt for Black and Brown people and object of the gang's internal misogyny, the other a woman weaponizing that role to dismantle one of America’s most violent white supremacist organizations.

The six-year investigation resulted in a 100% of the supremacist group convicted. Blevins was left with no support from law enforcement, living in poverty and fear of retaliation, while continuing to struggle with addiction and mental illness. Her story provokes complex questions about complicity, survival, coercion, and the uneasy intersection of femininity, violence, and state power.

Your first love and you are both the same age. You met your first love as a child — around 6.5 years old — and felt an inexplicable connection that shaped your understanding of love, safety, and destiny. The bond was immediate, innocent, wordless, and deeply mutual. At age 8.5, you exprienced a traumatic event as a result of social dynamic surrounding this person, and decided to abruptly stop talking to them. This experience was never resolved. At age 10.5, you lost all contact, including any mutual circles. There were no goodbyes, no closure — only the quiet disappearance of someone who had become part of your inner world.

Despite more than a decade of silence, this person remains vividly present in your emotional and spiritual landscape.

Over the years, they have become both real and mythic — a symbol of your ideals, your most formative experiences of affection, and your unresolved questions about fate and longing. You’re no longer sure what is memory, what is projection, and what — if anything — still lives between you.

You now have a chance to reconnect to discover what remains unfinished. But doing so spins the wheel of fate and may bring truths you’re not ready for — or disrupt the sanctuary you’ve built around this love.
