Intentional Oversaturation
Why am I here? Writing a blog of all things. How are my thoughts beneficial to our already oversaturated online social discourse? I have struggled with these questions myself. Self-serving writing is well, exactly that: self-serving. Writing for one’s own benefit feels, perhaps is, narcissistic. Regardless of format – journaling, blogging, influencing on another social Read more

A Note to Nature Boy
Nature Boy, I find myself grounded these days; My roots planted firmly into the soil you helped fertilize. My stem stretches skywards, my leaves soaking in sunlight. I worship my innate synthesization, and I praise the rain that falls. Nature Boy, I thank you, for nurturing me; for allowing my love to blossom. You repotted Read more

The Last Christmas
I love Christmas; I always have.

The Anniversarial Aureate
The Anniversarial Aureate Birthdays are important to me – they always have been. To some it is a signifier of age; of another year gone by, and a new one beginning. A birthday often brings together those closest to the celebrant, be it family, friends, or otherwise. To me, while these descriptors hold true, a Read more

_Existence
Existence is political. If you disagree, you benefit from social privileges and/or unjust entitlements. If you agree, but believe that your life is only minorly impacted, or not at all, then again, you benefit from social privileges and/or unjust entitlements. Even those of us that fully agree, benefit from the like. Further, even those of Read more

_Exposition
What does it mean to be Queer By Extension? To define that is, in fact, the purpose of this blog, but even tangentially; it’s difficult. Queer, we know to mean out-of-the-ordinary, odd, non-typical. Extension is of the tangential, an addition or expansion. This series is an analytical commentary on how outside influences shape, and are shaped, Read more

Escapism.WAV
Music heals. Sound-tracking our waking lives, musicians create auditory medicine. The dosages needed vary from patient to patient, community to community, but the results are consistent. Exiting-war experimentalism of the seventies, terroristic emotional rage of the aughts, and post-pandemic swingin’-pop parties of the new roaring twenties: Music is ever present in shaping the perspectives of Read more
