It’s a lyric to Brand New’s “Sic Transit Gloria … Glory Fades” off of the absolutely stellar album Deja Entendu. That’s what this writing is about. ...Not Brand New, but those essential albums. Those albums we put on and it described us down to every note, every vocalization, every harmony. In these albums we find … Continue reading Die Young and Save Yourself
Authenticity and Integrity
Y’all, I really just wanted to just enjoy Ghost of Tsushima yesterday (absolutely amazing game by Sucker Punch fyi), but instead I found myself on IG commenting on Talib Kweli’s page because he is still harassing a Black woman going on...3 weeks and about 2 days, who knows, by the time I’m done writing I … Continue reading Authenticity and Integrity
A Broken Home
Note: I'm currently not finished with this thought, but this is where I am left at the moment. Let me start by saying that I am not a left or right political person, my views are extremely Progressive leaning; meaning that if there are ways to benefit the physical and mental strife's of the people … Continue reading A Broken Home
Coming To Terms With Colorism
Let’s start this bad boy off by saying ‘Yes’ I am married to a “Hwite” woman. White in quotations because she’s European, mixed ethnicity, but “white passing”. That’s about the most I’ll say about her for the moment because I believe if she wants to, she can speak for herself on her identity and I … Continue reading Coming To Terms With Colorism
A Few Morning Thoughts
Let Me Think I realized waking up that when someone asks me what I’m doing I don’t actually give them an answer, I give them my choices. I was talking to my best friend yesterday and told her that if you could imagine an aerial shot of a hedge maze that’s basically how I come … Continue reading A Few Morning Thoughts
A Whole Ass Messing
Yesterday there was an interesting Twitter exchange between Nina Turner and Debra Messing, whether you know or care about their careers is little import for commentary, but what I need to talk about is the belief of White Liberals and Black people as individuals. I’ll share the Twitter screencaps so you can read first: Did … Continue reading A Whole Ass Messing
Why The United States?
Let’s talk. This is going to be probably one of the most ridiculous nonsensical things I write about, mainly because the focus is going to be on the United States as a whole. As a country of ideals, lacking; and as a country of strength, promising. First off, let’s just stop saying America in general...It’s … Continue reading Why The United States?
Someone Is Stealing Color From My World
Before I start this post which will be highly aggressive in tone and unnaturally hostile for me, I’d just like to say that I am done with anyone who isn’t seeing or hearing any Black lives speak up about White “supremacy”, racism, or police brutality to the Black community. If any of that particularly causes … Continue reading Someone Is Stealing Color From My World
Crazy Human Theory 1
The United States over the last 4 years has caused me to do some massive introspection on personal beliefs and philosophies I practice. What were some of the things I believed before? Well some philosophies: to be kind even when you find it extremely difficult not to be to have patience for those who don’t … Continue reading Crazy Human Theory 1
Asking Haddaway Questions
It’s a “What Is Love” pun. You know what, if you didn’t even chuckle about this title after reading my entry why are you even here? The Documentary “Disclosure” on Netflix about the lives of Trans Persons and Trans representation in the media was extremely moving. Like “I wanted to hug so many of them” … Continue reading Asking Haddaway Questions
