The 90s are making a massive comeback. Everyone’s wearing JNCO jeans again, chokers are back, and somehow frosted tips are trying to sneak into society like we all forgot what happened the first time.

The Dairy of Lily Slytherin: Part 5
Dear Diary, It’s already been three weeks in the school year! I feel like this year is going slower than I thought. Somedays it feels like one day equals two days, but it helps to have awesome friends in my classes. I’m sorry I haven’t been writing lately. John and I have been exploring the castle. We are trying to find every passageway possible. I think we are pretty close, based on what Godric told me. My godparents love to help me whenever they can, but when they catch you in the Ravenclaw common room it’s kind of hard to keep them happy. I sneak in there sometimes when I’m scared, so Helena can protect me from everything. I got told to be careful next time I try to sneak into the common room. If only they knew what happened in the Slytherin common room.

The Diary of Lily Slytherin Part: 4
Dear Diary, I have some amazing news! My dad actually said yes to something I asked. Yes, he approved my friends, but I have asked him before if I could share things with people. He has always said no. I guess all the reasons that I gave him were enough for him to say yes. So the other day I brought John to the most secret passageway I knew and told him everything. The truth, the cover story, and the background of how it all came to be. All he had to say was “That is why Godric favors you so much.” Apparently, everyone is confused why Godric favors a Slytherin student when everyone knows that he doesn’t like Slytherin. They all think I am special now. Great way to blend in I guess.

The Diary of Lily Slytherin:Part 3
Dear Diary, It has already been a week since I came to Hogwarts and I have made so many new friends. Well, that is not entirely true. I have a friend named John who I met on the first day. Then I became friends with a pure-blood Gryffindor named Maddie. Yes, I have permission from dad to be friends with her. Remember when I told you about Kendreth Malfoy. Now, I am hanging out with her and her friends without my father’s permission. He doesn’t like the Malfoy family at all. She seems nice. So what if I hang out with the one pure-blood family my father doesn’t like? What could go wrong?

The Diary of Lily Slytherin:Part 2
Dear Diary, I am excited for tomorrow! Tomorrow is September 1st and I will be arriving with my brother and Baron at Hogwarts. We are going to Hogwarts, where I will get sorted into Slytherin then I will make friends with a pure-blood. I will have more than one friend by the end of the year, and my dad will be proud of me for following the rules of who can be my friend. He has strict rules about it like I have to be friends with only pure-bloods so my mind doesn’t get tainted or something like that. My father says he has to check anyone who wants to be my friend to make sure they won’t tell my secret. It is ridiculous that I can’t tell more people, but I have to obey the rules, I guess.

Book Review: "Word Watching" by Julian Burnside
There's something about words that takes me into a whole new world. I love the idea of pouring over a word's meaning, etymology and how it came to be used - the more obscure the better. Our narrator describes himself as an 'amateur philologist' and yet, goes into fanatastic depth about individual words and phrases, showing us the backstories of how they've been used socially and culturally, as idioms and in their true forms. With the insertion of the OED and Dr Samuel Johnson's dictionary plus many more, he manages to show us how words have been defined differently over time. There is a lot in language to take issue with therefore. If you've read the book then you'll understand why I wrote 'issue' in italics.

Greek Gods Power Rankings. AI-Generated.

MCU Power Ranking. AI-Generated.
The world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe isn’t built on simple heroics — it’s built on escalation. Gods clash with titans. Super soldiers fight alongside sorcerers. Billionaires in armor stand next to literal cosmic entities. Some characters dominate street-level conflicts but disappear the moment the battlefield expands. Others seem grounded until their abilities scale to planetary — or even universal — stakes. And then there are the few whose power reshapes reality itself, operating on a level where entire armies become background noise.
