In the digital world that we're in, you know, negative videos are what goes viral. People are always knocking people down a peg and it's really easy to fall into that. If something bad happens-which, when you own your business, something bad happens every day- it's easy to circle in despair. But my challenge is to look for the positive and figure out how to pivot, and if something isn't working then figure out a different way to get it done.

I ended up moving back to New Jersey and outfitted my mom's garage into a baking studio. And that's when I started doing custom orders and pop-ups and filming TikToks and stuff like that. From there, it was just kind of the snowball effect.

You snap at your child over something tiny: They won't stop asking questions while you're trying to think. They're taking forever to put on their shoes. They're resisting toothbrushing. Again. And you feel terrible for snapping at them. Again. Maybe you believe that good parents sacrifice everything for their children. That putting yourself first is selfish. That if you just tried harder...had more patience...were a better person...you wouldn't lose it over something so small.

In November 2014, I crammed my possessions into my Toyota Corolla and drove 2,000 miles from Maryland to Salt Lake City, Utah, for a job. While temporarily staying with a friend's brother, I found the perfect house to rent. On a cold December morning, ready to head to my new place, I turned the key in my car's ignition. But I only heard rapid, grinding clicks. I turned the key again and again. The engine refused to work.

"This is not just a case about a man who has deeply violated one child. This is the case of an older, grown man who has strategically placed himself into multiple positions of power," she said. "This is not the kind of case where a judge is showing mercy to an innocent man. This is the kind of case where this man has earned every single moment of his 103 years."

"When homophobia runs out of ideas," text over the video showing the front windows covered in the contents of eggs read. "Our gay shop's been egged," Claire says in a sarcastic tone. "Eggs are expensive! Throwing one at a shop window is a choice, and if your enemy is a shop window you're already losing," she adds in a patronising manner.

Chefs take surplus food ingredients from the charity's depot next door and turn them into meals. These are then cooked, chilled, packed into boxes and distributed across to the organisations the charity supports. More than 1,200 organisations who are feeding people experiencing food insecurity and food poverty benefit from the work of The Felix Project. Its initial aim was to produce 100,000 meals to feed local families and children throughout the summer holidays, but five years on and it continues to support those in need.

Migraine is an "invisible illness," which means you can look totally fine on the outside while dealing with symptoms that make it nearly impossible to think clearly, see straight, or tolerate light and noise. And despite how often it's dismissed as "just a headache,", migraine is actually a chronic neurological disease - one that affects how the brain processes pain and sensory information, says Dr. Zarmina Mufti, a neurologist, headache specialist, and migraine educator who regularly shares educational content about living with migraine on social media.
