🌟 New Creator Spotlight

A few new voices have jumped into the community recently. If you’re looking for someone new to follow, start here.

[Silvery Nothingmore] — you may have seen this user in the Discussions or in your comment section, but they JUST posted their first article and it's a banger “Weapons Actually Taught Me About Guns”

[Kimberly J Lawton] — came for the stories, stayed for the community. An incredible writer with wisdom to share. Her article “It's Okay to Have A Little Blue in a White Christmas” is a must read.

[movies absolutely] — if you're like me and watch reality TV as a break from movies this writer's first article will certainly appeal to you: The Blurred Lines Between Hollywood and Reality TV Fame
