Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.
Why Men's Mental Health Matters. Content Warning.
The stigma surrounding men's mental health is a pervasive issue that often goes unaddressed. Society has ingrained in men the belief that expressing emotions or seeking help is a sign of weakness, perpetuating a harmful cycle of silence and suffering. This toxic masculinity not only damages men's well-being but also affects their relationships, careers, and overall quality of life.

From Me, Myself, and I
Have you ever noticed that many people use the words Me, Myself, and I much more than You, Yourself, and Your? I recently discovered that in myself. When analyzing my writing, especially emails to others, the pattern became clear to me. What did this say about my character? Was I self-obsessed?

Ruth Finley: Villainess or Victim?
Kudos, once again, to Lifetime, as they delivered an amazing retelling of a captivating true crime story. This was a story that I knew nothing about until I learned about the movie, and it was a couple of weeks prior to the movie's airdate that I did my homework on Ruth Finley's story, and it's because of what I learned that I was even more excited for this film than I already was. There's another reason, but that will be mentioned later.

A Glaring Omission. Top Story - June 2024.
I made peace with being cast out by others pretty early in life. As lonely as it may sound, I don’t recall many times during childhood when those actions affected me any longer than a moment or two. Being deemed the weird/gay/weird gay freak by everyone from neighborhood kids to blood relatives allowed me the privilege of sneaking away whenever I pleased to dive deeper into hobbies that molded the proud pop culture geek and writer I am today.

AI Colonization = Human Timeless Fear Of Perfection
Just as humans fear change, they fear being perfect. They don’t mind pretending but actually being is a negative. If humans are perfect they can not be greedy, they can not dominate, they have no grand conflict. Artificial intelligence is a concerning threat to humanity’s delusional power. Another creator at odds with their own creation? Sounds like some more Frankenstein sci-fi biblical nonsense to me.

The myth of a cupid and psyche
The myth of a cupid and psyche "Being beautiful is a curse," Psyche thought to herself as she peered over the edge of the cliff where her father had abandoned her. Given her flawless physical attributes from birth, people revered her as a fresh manifestation of Venus, the goddess of love. However, genuine romantic partners were too afraid to even come near her. The Oracle of Apollo, the deity of light, reason, and prophecy, was consulted by her father for advice. It was instructed for him to leave his daughter on a steep crag, where she would marry a vicious, winged, serpentine enemy. Zephyr the West Wind, leaving Psyche alone on the cliff, softly lifted her into the air.

Exercise The Spirit & Soul Pt. 1. Content Warning.
It’s funny how our bodies are consistently finding ways to betray us. No matter how much you invest into your vessel, it is built to sabotage itself and doesn’t mind taking you down with it. It truly scares me to hear and/or see people treat the human body like it’s some Magnum Opus of God. “The body is the temple”, they say, and there’s no reason to disagree with that. Still, let’s skip the superfluous philosophical speech by calling this flesh costume exactly what it is. It is a disloyal cowardly tool for spiritual growth that becomes a prison for many who know not the reality of materials. Honestly, the human body is no more (nor less) sacred than the toilet paper you wipe your ass with.

The Next Great Mental Health Crisis May Have Arrived
Author's preface: This story is primarily targeted to my neighbors in the small community where I live, but as a warning to the larger global community I felt I should go public with the issue that has hit my own neighborhood very hard. To any of my neighbor's who may be reading this I say congratulations for taking this very difficult first step toward healing. Know that I am here to support you in whatever limited way I can. To everyone else, I hope you can take what you learn from this story back to your own communities and spread the word. This is a global issue and the more awareness we raise the better. We can get through this, but only if we work together and know the signs to look for so we can quickly identify those who truly need help before it is too late save them.

Power of Daydreaming
“Life is intrinsically, well, boring and dangerous at the same time.” - Edward Gorey. On any given day, you might spend a third to half of your waking hours daydreaming. That might sound like a colossal waste of time, but scientists believe there’s a reason behind it. After all, humans wouldn’t have evolved to do it so much if it wasn’t beneficial. So, what’s really happening when our minds wander? Let’s dive into the world of daydreaming, starting with the ultimate mind-wanderers: bored teenagers.

The Harder You Try, The Worse It Gets
“The more you get what you want, the more dissatisfied you become.” — Pablo Coelho Ah, the paradoxical dance we humans do with desire, effort, and entropy. We strive and toil, yearning for that elusive state of “having it all together.” Yet the universe seems to chuckle, swapping our crystal ball of hopes with a kaleidoscope of chaos.
