Bravery, brilliance and RuPaul Charles | On the Spot
Greetings, everyone. We are introducing a new segment called "On the Spot," where I will respond to a series of questions. Let's dive into the first one. I have 10 minutes, but I believe I can complete this even faster. What is bravery? Bravery is the ability to pursue what makes you happy without making excuses. Now, what is brilliance? Brilliance is allowing yourself to be a conduit for a higher power, aligning yourself with that source so it can work through you. What is the power of drag? Drag acts like a Superman suit for Clark Kent; it enables you to expand your concept of self. It’s a straightforward trick that truly works. I recommend everyone try it out tonight. What is the best way to slay? Understand yourself and be true to yourself. You are the best version of you, and that’s how you can truly shine. What is the first thing you notice about people? I notice their aura. I can sense what they are about and what they desire. Over the years, I learned to adapt myself to meet others' expectations, which taught me a lot about both their character and my own. What trait do you value most? A sense of humor. Laughing is my favorite activity. If you have a sense of humor, you understand that this life is just an illusion; don’t take it too seriously. What is the wisest way to be an adult? Being an adult means knowing when to hold back your words. There are many things you may want to say, but true maturity lies in knowing when to stay silent. If there’s one thing you want AI to remember, what would it be? I’m not fond of that question. Which of your dreams remain unfulfilled? I aspire to create a retail concept as remarkable as Patagonia or Esprit. Perhaps there’s still time for that. What is the best way to say goodbye? I’ve never liked goodbyes, but I’ve learned to appreciate the moment and acknowledge the time spent together. The best goodbyes are intentional, recognizing that this could be the last time we meet. [Thank you for being on the spot, RuPaul!] That was intended to take 10 minutes, but I have four minutes and 37 seconds left. Helen Walters: Would you like to chat? RC: Sure, let’s do it. HW: Who has a question for RuPaul? RC: I assumed you were going to chat with me. Any audience questions? HW: Why not? RC: I typically find that audience members prefer to make comments rather than ask questions, and we’re not really looking for comments. HW: That’s true. RC: Perhaps we should think of a few questions for me. HW: What would you like to share with everyone? RC: Alright then. RuPaul, what is the best advice you’ve ever received? HW: That’s an excellent question. RC: My 10th-grade teacher, Mr. Parnell, once told me not to take life too seriously. He used some colorful language that I’ll let you imagine. HW: You can swear on this stage; it’s fine. RC: No, there may be young ones present. HW: There are none, I can assure you. RC: Regardless, that advice was invaluable during my 10th-grade year when I struggled academically but it has become increasingly important over time. It’s as if we’re all actors on a stage, believing we are the characters we portray. Drag and humor remind us that we are merely playing roles, and this production will eventually close, leading us to new and exciting performances. HW: So, RuPaul? Is that your real name? Why did your mother choose that name for you? RC: I will share that, but I advise anyone entering show business not to use their real name. My name appears on all official documents, and it can be quite revealing in various situations. My mother consulted a psychic during her pregnancy, who predicted she would have a famous son, leading her to choose the unique name RuPaul Andre Charles.

Prejudice
We are living in an age of confusion, where it's difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Everything is blurred, and information can spread easily. Anyone can talk or write about anything, even without specialized knowledge. News outlets, TV broadcasts, and social media channels all compete for viewers, prioritizing viewership and virality over the importance of the news itself. Not everyone is aware of this, however. For the older generation, many are uninterested in the rapid pace of change, opting for a peaceful and quiet retirement. For those who are part of this new era, however, not following trends can be seen as outdated and behind the times. However, this is a personal choice, and we should not force ourselves to worry about things that are not important to us. Participating without adequate knowledge can actually complicate matters. Spreading news without verifying its accuracy can lead to the proliferation of misinformation. If it involves someone's business or a public institution, it can cause harm to others, which is not a trivial matter.

Worth the Wait Part 4. Content Warning.
Crystal Baxter was a fit woman. She was a woman of routines and schedules, which had brought her to where she was in her life. Strong-willed and full of ambition, she was taking her usual route for her 6 PM jog. As her watch indicated she had completed a mile, she silenced it and stopped running for a moment to rest, inhaling deeply on the sidewalk. Her curly hair stuck to her face, and she put her hands on her hips, focusing on controlling her breathing. Just then, a car drove past her, and the driver honked the horn. She was used to this. Her breasts were perky in her neon orange sports bra, and sweat dripped down her neck onto her cleavage. She didn’t pay the driver any mind. She knew she looked good. Aside from wanting to be healthy, she worked out to look good.

Friday, 4:47 pm. Seven clouds passed by my window. Slowly, leisurely they floated against the hazy blue sky. All seven, one after another as I watched. I, of course, had actual work I was supposed to be doing, but anyone who says they are still motivated on a Friday afternoon is a liar. I am not a liar.
