Snakes are long and limbless reptiles covered in overlapping scales. There are more than 3,400 species, and many have skulls with enough joints to swallow prey bigger than their heads. Snakes are, in essence, lizards that have undergone a reduction in their structure and become simplified with evolution. You either like them, or you hate them.

We tend to think of crimes of passion as occurring between lovers, married couples, or participants in a love triangle – willing or otherwise. But passionate hatred isn’t limited to romantic or amorous relationships. After all, Cain and Abel were brothers, and the murder of Abel is recorded in the earliest books of the Christian Bible. The terms fratricide, patricide and matricide exist in common language for a reason, with origins so old the very words are written in Latin.

We never really know who we’re interacting with online. It takes just one wrong person knowing who you are, where you live, and seemingly inconsequential details about your life for everything to turn deadly. Whether you’re a Gen Z kid or a millennial whose parents never let you use the family PC unsupervised, the internet is a dangerous place.

Content Warnings: murder, sexual assault, catfishing.

The alarming prevalence of domestic abuse, also known as intimate partner violence, extends globally. According to the CDC, about 41% of women and 26% of men have encountered violence from an intimate partner. These statistics are inherently skewed due to underreporting, driven by various factors such as fear of disbelief, hesitancy among minority groups based on past experiences with authorities, and men feeling ashamed to admit vulnerability.
If you believe that you or someone you know might be experiencing intimate partner violence, please visit the National Domestic Violence Hotline at www.thehotline.org or call at 800.799.7233 if you are concerned about your internet usage being monitored.
Content Warnings: domestic abuse, police abuse, intimate partner violence

While the myth persists that pain enhances creativity and seeking help dulls artistic abilities, some artists indeed turn to illicit substances driven by a desire for heightened experiences. Jazz guitarist Brent Vaartstra aptly notes, “Artists are pleasure seekers […] They want to feel something different, be something different, so that they may get a different result. Creative minds are never satisfied with normality; they always seek stimulation in any way, shape, or form.”
