We Shouldn't Care If Someone's "Faking" Being Queer For Attention
There is this odd narrative that gay, bi, and trans people are just being queer for attention. For the past couple of years, there has been a lot of discourse around the concept of "transtrenders" (i.e., people who allegedly aren't "real" trans individuals and are just identifying as such for attention). Before this, countless straight people claimed this same thing for gay and bi people. We were "just being dramatic" or "going through a phase."

A Good Citizen
The Great Qualities of a Good Citizen There is an abundance of good qualities that are necessary for a person to be a responsible, respectful, and resourceful citizen. An individual who possesses these qualities, means to be a caring and giving citizen in the community, nation, and world. However, being a good citizen goes beyond the three R’s, a person must also be honest and helpful. The two virtues that should be followed religiously without a second thought. These are qualities that I feel are imperative in being a good citizen and doing what you believe is right

#socialLife on the Web
There’s something quite liberating about having a complete mental breakdown on social media. There’s no more hiding. There’s no more pretending to be perfect or normal. Everything is exposed, the darkness, madness, and naked brilliance is laid bare for the world to gawk confused at.

Haunted Lives. Top Story - June 2022.
We all live haunted lives. I'm not necessarily talking about spirits lurking around corners (although for some of us, I'm sure that's the case). What I'm referring to is the acute sense of loss & mourning that lingers after we pass from one phase of our lives to another. It's that familiar ache as you look around your empty apartment for the last time. It's the heart break, the joy, as we lose & gain new friends or relationships.

Tony
“You’re new here, huh?” he asked from his perch atop the red vinyl barstool at the end of the counter. An untouched chai latte was pushed off to the side in front of him--the milk foam slowly dissipating beneath the sprinkle of mahogany cinnamon spread over it--to make room for the small spiral bound notebook he used to sketch out rough abstract patterns. A wicked grin slinked across his lips as he eyed me from head to toe to take in my neon blue dyed hair, the bits of metal dotting my eyebrows and ears and lip, the ink on my arms: all the signals I’d acquired to separate myself from the mainstream, everything I’d donned to showcase my difference. “You’ll do.”

May is Masturbation Month
The flowers won’t be the only things blooming this May. May begins Masturbation Month. Yes, you read that correctly. The first national recognition day was held on May 7, 1995, in honor of Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, who had been fired in 1994 by President Bill Clinton for suggesting masturbation be part of the sex education curriculum for students. In 2005, the annual Masturbation Day officially moved to May 28 but in recent years, it has been celebrated the entire month of May.
