I am now back from the break, and I am taking classes and doing podcasts again.

  • Episode 6 Season 1 – The Unofficial Pokemon Go Field Guide vs Palworld

    By Andrea Menzies 07/21/26

    The Unofficial Pokemon Go Field Guide by Ivy St. Ive

    Note: FH7 Publishing does not just do book reviews, but reviews of games based on books. Pokemon is a game that has books and comic books associated with the product.

    This month every person who plays video games has one soap opera question on their mind, and it is what the heck happened with Palworld and Pokemon’s Nintendo? Nintendo has beautiful art and games it has made, and it sued another company for making a game called Palworld like their games. Can they do this? There is a phrase that fits the issue at hand, and that is the legal phrase “fair use” in art. The famous author Immanuel Kant once famously said. “The dilemma of postmodernism is that all art is collage.” This means all art has a bit of other art in it, and we are all standing tall on the shoulders of giants. How much can one work of art look like another before it is just basic copying? Fair use is defined as the following idea. “Reasonable and limited use of copyrighted material so as not to infringe upon copyright.” (Dictionary.com, 2026). I find this interesting because when I first posted a few of my favorite pictures and drawings online in blogs, internet trolls said “that is not yours” if it looked anything like another drawing. If you make it with different paint and changes to it YES, it is your own work even if it is styled like another drawing. Art has stylized techniques used frequently, and very untalented people like to put artists down saying their art is basic copies. This month Palworld won the lawsuit against Nintendo, and video game fans rejoice at being free to play the version they like best.

  • Season 1 Episode 5 – Campaign Against Facebook

    By Andrea E. Menzies 07/14/26

    Season 1 Episode 5 – Campaign Against Facebook

    A podcast book review on The Campaign Against Facebook a book about the many huge lawsuits against the Internet giant. Here are just some of the Facebook lawsuits addressed inside.

    1. Facebook is giving con-artists the information to popular pages.
    2. Taking money to post advertisements, and shutting off accounts when there have been no violations. Never refunding the advertisement money.
    3. Doing experiments with false posts on Facebook with no authorization from users.
    4. Selling the information on underaged kids.
    5. Posting “by mistake” fake news information that wins elections.

    This episode addresses the 2012 and 2014 Facebook Emotional Contagion Study and the related lawsuit.

    Note that in my class this semester we studied the Facebook Emotional Contagion Study conducted in 2012. Facebook conducted a study on hundreds of thousands of people with no consent. It was found guilty of this in court. It claims fake news that changes election results is a mistake, but practiced manipulation willfully right before-hand of the same type.

  • Passing Grades

    Passing Grades

    By Andrea Menzies 07/13/26

         I just got the email I passed another class! I am taking a masters degree at night school, and passed three classes at the new school. I passed 2 classes at another school, but they were charging double the tuition I agreed to so I transferred. 5 classes in a masters degree program have been passed by me in 2025 and 2026. It is a stressful program, but filled with great information. I wish con-artist scumbags had not tried to destroy my ability to go to school when I first moved to Virginia. I would have loved to have gone back sooner. I am a lifelong learning fan.

  • Throwback Dinner

    By Andrea E. Menzies 07/09/26

         I noticed that I forgot to re-post Mother’s Day photos for my family at Waffle House and Applebee’s restaurants for the dinner celebration. These were originally posted on the Foursquare Swarm app as check-ins. My review is Waffle House is not just for skits on Saturday Night Live, and actually has good brunch food in the Virginia area. Applebee’s is always yummy for not too much money.

    Left Alexandria Menzies and on the right Andrea E.  Menzies at Applebee’s.

    I just finished the Clinical Research Certification by CITI by University in Florida. The accredited 15 class vocational certificate was hard, but I understand medical science and statistics far better for healthcare. It even has a great link for reposting on LinkedIn.

  • Women Created Equal

    Women Created Equal

    By Andrea E. Menzies 7/06/26

    “All Men Are Created Equal” is a famous phrase from the Declaration of Independence signed July 4th of 1776. The document is the origin of the July 4th holiday. It has an iconic phrase declaring women unequal. I have returned to school this year, and ironically noticed for the first 200 years of American history women were refused the ability to go to universities at all. Men could easily say women were constantly stupid, drunk, or insane as an excuse to mentally and physically abuse them, and they had no way to prove the lies wrong. It constantly perpetuated cycles of abuse leaving women broke, abandoned, and alone without education. The 4th of July is a great holiday, but never forget it had a promise of freedom few people got to enjoy. In recent history lawmakers have tried to strip women of their rights, and it is important to remember the “good old days” were not always good. At the time of the Declaration of Independence women were not allowed an education in most places. Separate schools had to be created as women-only institutions as women were blamed when men could not control themselves at all in work and school.
