My dad is a firm believer that schools keep litter boxes for kids who think they are cats, and no amount of fact checking can convince him otherwise.

I know two separate parents that deal with this at their kids’ school..

Besides vaccines being used to implant chips in people's brains and make them zombies? Lol I still remember when one my aunts was so freaked out that she forbade her entire family from getting the shot.

There are too many to count haha I'm currently incredibly invested in the whole Kanye West controversy. It's amazing how someone can let others brainwash them and start acting out against their family, their business partners, and virtually all their supporters. I wish him well.

Well, Alex Jones has been talking crap about Sandy Hook being fake for years and he finally got what he deserved. What surprised me the most was the amount of people believing him about all those dead kids being paid actors.

Can a newspaper use my photo without my consent?

I'm not a reporter, I'm just a citizen who took a picture during an event and uploaded it to my social media account. Turns out a digital media wrote me to have permission to use my picture, and when I said yes, they said they were looking for some other picture because I had already given permission to the competitors, which I didn't.
They just posted it without asking me, letting me know, or even mentioning my credits. Is this legal?

I need a career change and I could use some advice.

I have a BSc in Economics for Arts, Culture and Comms (focused on the film industry), 7 years of experience in a big name news channel (operations dept) and I speak 7 languages (at different fluency levels).
Are there any specific positions that would most benefit from multilingualism where that would give me a boost? Thx

Journalism is the best job in the world but I feel like people are less likely to take my work seriously because I am female.
