Time for my occasionally post shilling my stuff. Lol.

Over the years, I’ve poured myself into countless creative projects—blogs, podcasts, books, and more. Each one reflects my passions, curiosities, and perspectives, and I want to take a moment to share them with you. I know how easy it is to scroll past content online, to overlook what doesn’t immediately grab attention. But these works are important to me, and I hope you’ll give them a look—they’re invitations into a world shaped by curiosity, creativity, and the love of discovery.

While many people know my original blog, The Musings of Jaime David, I want to shine a light on my other projects—spaces that explore specific interests, push creative boundaries, and offer perspectives you might not find elsewhere.

Let’s start with my blogs. Each one began from a personal curiosity or desire to explore a topic deeply.

Anime, Comics, and Manga is my dedicated space for exploring the worlds of storytelling and visual artistry that have fascinated me since childhood. I grew up captivated by the characters, intricate narratives, and imaginative universes that creators built, and this blog became a place to share that passion. It goes beyond simple reviews—here, I dive into both mainstream and obscure works, analyzing themes, character development, cultural impact, and the ways these stories resonate with audiences globally. Over time, the blog has evolved from a personal hobby into a space for critical reflection, discussion, and celebration of the creativity and depth these media offer.

Jaime David Music grew from my love for music—not just listening, but reflecting on how sound shapes emotion, culture, and identity. This blog isn’t just reviews or playlists; it’s a space where I explore trends, artistry, and the emotional resonance of music.

Jaime David Science is a playground for anyone curious about the natural world, technology, and discoveries that make us stop and wonder. I strive to make science approachable, intriguing, and sometimes delightfully strange. It’s for the casual learner and the enthusiast alike.

Jaime David Gaming is where I dive into games—video games, board games, and more. Gaming has always been a lens for storytelling, strategy, and human behavior. Here, I share reflections, analysis, and commentary for anyone who enjoys the craft and thought behind play.

Oddities in Media started as a way to notice the small, overlooked, or strange aspects of pop culture. Over time, it’s become a space to dig into the weird, the unexpected, and the culturally fascinating in movies, music, games, and beyond. It’s about exploring creativity with curiosity and nuance.

Let’s Be Different Together is my space for mental health, individuality, and social reflection. It’s for anyone who has ever felt different or misunderstood and seeks thoughtful exploration of society, human behavior, and personal growth.

The Interfaith Intrepid is for those interested in spirituality, culture, and philosophy. Here, I explore faith, religious traditions, and cultural intersections with nuance and empathy, striving to foster dialogue in a world too often divided by belief.

Of course, The Musings of Jaime David remains my most personal and experimental blog, where I write freely—essays, reflections, philosophical musings, and more. But I want to make sure my other spaces get their due. Each blog has its own flavor, its own purpose, and something unique to offer.

Beyond blogs, The Jaime David Podcast is a place to explore ideas in conversation. I revisit old writings, reflect on creative processes, and dive into cultural phenomena. The podcast is a chance to experience my thoughts in real-time, in a personal and engaging way.

I’ve also channeled my creativity into books. Wonderment Within Weirdness, my debut novel, explores the extraordinary and the unexpected. My Powerful Poems distills reflections and emotions into concentrated lyrical moments. Some Small Short Stories experiments with brief narratives that highlight the small moments revealing larger truths. Each project is a window into different facets of my imagination and curiosity.

Finally, my Jaime David Newsletter connects readers directly to all of my creative work—blogs, podcast episodes, book updates, and insights that don’t always appear elsewhere. It’s a direct line to stay updated and engaged.

These projects exist not just for my own expression but as invitations to explore, reflect, and discover. They are separate, but they share a common thread: curiosity, creativity, and connection. I encourage you to explore beyond my original blog—dive into the other sites, listen to the podcast, read the books, and subscribe to the newsletter. There’s a universe of ideas, creativity, and expression waiting, and I hope you’ll find something that surprises, delights, or inspires you.

also want to take a moment to invite you to explore all of my other projects. While The Musings of Jaime David may be my original and most personal blog, my other sites each offer something unique—spaces for music, science, gaming, mental health, spirituality, media analysis, and more. By checking them out, reading, listening, and engaging, you’re not just exploring different facets of my creativity—you’re actively supporting the growth of my work overall. Every visit, comment, share, or subscription helps these projects thrive, allows me to continue creating, and encourages me to keep experimenting and exploring new ideas. Your support helps these endeavors reach more people, spark conversations, and foster communities around curiosity and creativity.

So if something in my work sparks your interest, I hope you’ll take the time to dive into my other blogs, listen to the podcast, explore my books, and subscribe to the newsletter. Each project is a reflection of my passions, and your engagement helps keep this creative universe alive.

Reem Alsalem, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls, posted this:

“No Palestinian applauded rape in Gaza. No independent investigation found that rape took place on the 7th of October.”

Here is what Alsalem lays out when she expands on that X post in a recent interview and write-up:

• She explains that the widely cited report by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict (SRSG-SVC) was never meant to be investigative. Its mandate did not include forensic verification; it compiled allegations and secondary reports but did not independently prove anything.
• She points to the Independent International Commission of Inquiry, which did have a fact-finding mandate and issued a report in June 2024. That body stated clearly that it “has not been able to independently verify such allegations, due to a lack of access to victims, witnesses and crime sites and the obstruction of its investigations by the Israeli authorities.”
• She says, in plain language, that the narrative Israel constructed about mass rapes by Palestinians on October 7th has been “completely debunked by an independent body.”
• And she adds that while Western governments and legacy media fixated on unverified claims about Palestinian rapists, they ignored the documented pattern of Israeli sexual violence against Palestinian men and women — a pattern backed by years of evidence.
