And I’m Feeling Good
Introduction It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life For me And I'm feeling good I’m not sure that you are supposed to ever start a sentence with the coordinating conjunction “and” but what the hell, it’s me who is writing and you all know how incompetent I am with language.

GAYCATION
It started at gaycation, this convening where a whole bunch of queers gets to camp in the wilderness for fun. There were also games and good food for the week, but it was mostly a retreat for people who hadn't had a chance to enjoy the outdoors. I was not one of those people. I've been a city slicker my whole life, but this was a chance to finally see what being in a commune full of gays would be like. And boy, they did not disappoint. Some of the drama included a new acquaintance of mine using the fact that they, myself, and a new friend shared the same bed on the first night because they were too timid to sleep alone. Being new queers, I didn't hold any objections, and the three of us cuddled until the morning. I didn't know that acquaintances would use our nightcaps to infuriate their ex by making it sound like we "slept" together. To add insult to injury, the ex was my friend, and I certainly had to pull her aside to reassure her that I was not that dirty. I do, in fact, respect boundaries, others more so than my own.

10 of the Strangest Things People Are Addicted To
10 of the Strangest Things People Are Addicted To Addiction is the obsessive need to carry on doing something despite the potential consequences. Every person is different, with their own preferences and dreams. Some people enjoy travelling, while others prefer to stay at home. We learn to get along through our likes and dislikes, regardless of whether we are introverts, extroverts, or somewhere in between. People have been known to become addicted to substances like narcotics, coffee, or even social media. However, you may tell someone about your daily need on coffee and it won't come out as embarrassing. Just picture meeting someone who claims to be addicted to drinking their own urine. Or another who would rather eat a piece of their brick wall than a pizza topped with pineapples grown on their lanai. Yes, these are the bizarre addictions that people have all across the world. Here is a list of some of the most bizarre substances to which people have become dependent.

Where The Heart Is
They say that pain is apart of life. I have felt the emotional pain of being in the house where my pain originally started. Now the diaries that I found have been filed in the garbage dump that feels good. The last diary I had left I called it my Oppression Diary I put that in the garbage. It felt great. I feel like there is nothing left for me in my country. Because the only person before I married who believed in me died. Now I am ready to leave my country to go back home to Saint Lucia. Home. That feels good to say.

Never Underestimate a Cycle Breaker
I've been committed to breaking the cycle of generational trauma for sometime now. I came from a severely dysfunctional home. My mother was married to a narcisscist who ruined her life. I apparently keep getting into relationships where men ruin my life. My ex was so abusive that it drove me to a drinking problem. I fall in love with potential. I fall in love with the future of what I want them to be. I disregard the red flags. And because of that, I self-destruct.

The Genuine Threat To All Art By AI
Introduction I saw this Instagram post from Francesco Simone Savi and it got me thinking about how AI is seeping into all art creation. Months ago I was alerted to an article where an artist was saying they were under threat from AI generated art. I replied to it is the article below.

Yes, I'm Autistic. Yes, I sometimes Hit Mom. No, I'm not Adam Lanza.
Last Wednesday was the 10th anniversary of the Newton massacre, when a young man walked into his elementary school and shot about 20 students and a teacher. I still remember that fateful day- my late mother and I were at IHop, eating lunch right before a doctor's appointment, wondering when the hell the food would get there. Then suddenly, our waittress burst out that something terrible had happened.

Economics of Feeling
It's a feeling most of us unfortunate inhabitants of the 21st century have experienced: you're happily doomscrolling on your social media site of choice and having a grand (if compulsory) time. When suddenly your illusory peace is shattered by the image of your ex with someone else.
