Don't Panic—We're Still FREE

We’ve turned on paid subscriptions—but nothing’s changing for our readers. All of our content, including local news, political coverage, and deeper investigations will stay 100% free to read. Always.

We’re growing. That means we’ll be branching out into national stories, longform investigations, myths, legends, conspiracy breakdowns, and commentary that goes beyond Pennsylvania—but you won’t need to pay to access any of it.

Paid subscriptions are just a way to support …

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Educate yourself.

When a question about a certain topic pops up, google it. Watch movies and documentaries. When something sparks your interest, read about it.

Read, read, read.

Study, learn, and stimulate your brain.

Don't just rely on the school system; educate your beautiful mind.

I'm a medical doctor, but I had to leave the system to tell the truth.

Most of what you’re told about your health is incomplete or completely wrong.

You’re stuck in a system that profits from your symptoms, not your healing.

In my Substack, I write the truth I wasn’t allowed to say inside the system.

If you're exhausted, unwell, and unheard, say hi! 🙌

It’s about damn time. AOC is a hero. She’s one of the best out there, fighting daily against Trump’s fascist bullshit.

They want me arrested.

They want me silenced.

I attended the Life Surge event in Columbus on Saturday.

What I found were several Ohio State football legends helping funnel financially illiterate Christians into an obvious financial scam.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

Our children are so secure in their love. The three bigs all wrote about their mommy in these books I bought them to write in for Mother’s Day. The one common theme: mommy loves them, and is gentle and intentional in the way she loves them.

I’m not surprised at all. If you have ever met any of the Knapp kids, they are a delight. Each one …

i think the hardest part about healing is realizing there’s no finish line. no big dramatic moment where everything feels suddenly better. it’s slower than that. it’s quieter. it’s choosing not to text them back. it’s making your bed on a heavy day. it’s being kind to yourself when your mind is cruel. healing is a thousand tiny victories no one else sees.
