Gather Them

This was a very long and hard week for me but I am still here. This week I discuss things that Grind My Gears. I also discuss the Where is Wendy Williams Documentary in The Media Lab. Lastly for my Final Thought I discuss the need to disconnect and be preventative when it comes to life. Prevention and Preparedness > Reactionary Responses

I felt like I had a lot of points I wanted to make about the Super Bowl—not so much about the game itself, though. Tune in to hear me discuss the ads (the good, the bad, and the ugly), Beyoncé's release of new music, and the halftime performance.

Happy Black History Month ✌🏾

This week, I initially expected a short episode but ended up having more to share. I provided some life updates. Going to see Tinashe in concert this weekend for my birthday weekend!

In this extended "Media Lab" episode, I covered various topics. Firstly, I celebrated HISS reaching the #1 spot. I delved into a discussion about a clip from Mo'Nique on Club Shay Shay, sparking conversations about the portrayal of trans individuals and how those outside the queer community perceive LGBTQ+ people. Additionally, I discussed the trailer for the two-part Wendy Williams documentary, showed interest in the Selena/Yolanda docuseries, and expressed thoughts on Tinashe's debut album "Aquarius" ahead of her concert!

This week I review my week, discuss Ketamine Assisted Treatment and how it can help people who maybe have tried and failed other treatments or want additional support. I also discuss Tinashe's Joyride, and the Megan/Nicki Beef. Lastly, I discuss the shared my thoughts on Gen Z and Millennials sharing pop culture and societal perspectives vs older generations.

This week, I discuss current goals and ways I want to help the Black queer community in the 'Live, Learn, and Affirmations' segment. Also, I keep the Tinashe discography rolling with my review of the album Nightride, and I discuss my thoughts on Tubi's 'Coming Out' in the Media Lab. Lastly, for my final thought, I discuss this push for people wanting to be social media influencers and the current state of even finding purpose. Trust me, I see you all; life is hard, but we got this!


How y'all doing? Trust me I see you all, life is hard but we got this, it's Pluto in Aquarius!

Thinking to restructure: I want Fox to do better with Tubi; Also, I review Tinashe's 333  album  and Angel Numbers/Astrology in the Media Lab segment. I review what Coming Out, Tubi series, means to me as a black gay man.  I talk about the themes I'm seeing and what they mean to me, along with the means of access for streaming platforms like Tubi, and ranting about why the LGBTQ+ needs it's own spaces, especially the black LGBTQ+ community in the Final Thought segment.
