Depression, masculinity, Blackness, and the Palestinian genocide

Sometimes family ain't related.

This political climate kills in many ways. Protect your hearts!

This is the work

Billy Porter, how you gonna support Israel AND play James Baldwin? How are Palestinians "prisoners" when they haven't been charged with crimes? And where is America's journalistic integrity?

We do this because it is right

Trigger warning. 2 parts. The first is full of anger. Part 2 is me coming down of my soapbox.

I don't know how to make a change in the world around me, while it seems so many want everything to burn.

Where is God?

Biden, Claudia Dela Cruz, Palestine, and the fear of socialism.

What it takes to influence and how to heat one's core. This is the way of the universe.

How many must suffer before we confront our own nation's greed?

Change ain't easy, but it beats living in shame

What does the last page to your story read like?

There are no coincidences. Serving dinner to the man who let my mother die.

I Forgive You

I wanna be better that rejoicing in someone else's pain.

Hanging with friends (A a message to GenZ)

Breathe. Love. Remember.

Staying in the moment

Happy Mothers' Day

The way I see the world has changed

I'm cynical and hopeful. Save me

Sex and adolescence in the 80s

Ralph Yarl's crime is breathing. Let's talk about it. Plus, Gen X, we flex about the wrong stuff.

Confidence isn't real.

Too many of us can't see the forest through the tree.

I'm not the enemy of a republican.

History repeats itself until we pass the class lesson.

What would it take to feel joy in these United States?

Nuff said.

Everything is changing. Information is moving faster than ever, and I need to remind myself weekdays most important.

The new distraction: what is the definition of a woman?

America isn't no better than Iran. I SAID WHAT I SAID

What it means to be truly free, and face violence for it.

What does it really mean to be a man in a heterosexual relationship? Why won't men go to therapy?

Regrets, trauma, and their effects on successes and failures.

The apology, the misognoir, the healing

Why go on? Hasn't there been progress?

DMX, Black in America, the politics of crack, and Etheridge knight.

Lil Nas X. Systems of toxic masculinity and how we combat that. How did they start?

MN Supreme Court decides there is no sexual assault if the survivor decisively consumes alcohol/drugs. Men, we need to be honest: we KNOW who the predators are. Sometimes, even in the mirror.

Getting older in a nation growing ever more ignorant.

Power and sex, freezing, and predatory atmospheres. We need to talk about why men exploit vulnerability.

The second of a 6 part series on misogyny and toxic masculinity. Coercion is what we men need to stop making excuses for.

Am I the only one drowning in anxiety? I doubt it.

How to stay in the present and keep it moving.

It's time to confront misogyny with male voices.

Class, age, and labor. Where have we gone wrong?

Spirituality, AOC, Malcolm X, humanity, and the collective consciousness.
