Homo-Holiday
I’m an authentic homosexual which/witch means at now 51 years old (never having sex with a biological female) and monogamous for 7 years in a 25+ year relationship after “coming out” at 16-17 years old and striking out on my on in the world I’ve had quite a journey. One thing that is very unique to the “gay”/alternative lifestyle community is how many are completely disowned by their families as they go through their own personal “coming out” process. I was also an infant advertised for adoption in the Newark Star Ledger who was adopted and socialized from infancy until I left home with two parents who then divorced and I went through my childhood socialization/“grew up” in a Judeo-Christian cult that did not allow the celebration of holidays. As my now deceased, former adoptive, father got a free turkey from work every year and they were both off work and I was off school Thanksgiving was the closest to celebrating any holiday I was allowed. I wasn’t even able to celebrate my own birthday.

With the Halloween season finally coming to an end, America must now prepare for the scariest season of all: Midterm Elections. The Republicans still celebrating their victory of abortion bans and the power to control over half the population on what they are allowed to do with their bodies, have continue to set the sights on the next target. Trans-rights. The reason behind the urgency to put a dead halt on Americans (particularly children) right to live authentically is to clash with the alleged “Trans-Agenda.” What is this “Trans-Agenda?”

The Knight's Error
Hazel slashed her borrowed sword through the spiny, overgrown vines, creating a jagged path to the crumbling castle. She was grateful for her secondhand armor–she could hear the thorns scraping angrily against the metal, longing to tear her flesh but unable to gain purchase. She wondered how many knights had failed simply because they could move no further without a steed (surely, no horse would endure the torture of a thousand tangled scratches) or blinded by forgetting to secure the visor of their helmet. Hazel’s visor may have been twisted in spots and rusting in others, but she had ensured it would hold against the terrors of the vines. She was thankful for the months of studying she’d ensured prior to her quest.

Bolsonaro is a right-wing Brazilian politician who has been vocal about his desire to destroy democracy.

If re-elected, Bolsonaro would be the first president in Brazil's history with no prior political experience. His policies, if enacted, would have serious consequences for the country's citizens, who have been fighting for democracy for over 30 years.

Debuting as a queer creative writer
Intro Hi everyone! Being a debuting novelist who is also not an English speaker, I am very excited to see my first work finally being published as an ebook. As a queer person from Kazakhstan, I never could have imagined that this would be a possibility for me one day in the future. Findings professional proofreaders and editors as well as gathering feedback from my friends was a long and challenging process, even though the novella itself is rather short :) Yes, finally, it is being released and gives me some hope that I can share my story with a broader circle of the international audience.
