PRIDE OF CHUCKY
Charles Lee Ray, homicidal maniac, wisecracking killer doll, and LGBTQIA+ ally. Shocking? Not so much. Child's Play as a franchise is refreshingly and outrageously queer. In horror, a medium that has always been home to our kind, one franchise icon stands out among the rest. Chucky.

Land of the Freedumb
I woke up this morning to the headline of an article written by the LA Times and a few things came to mind… The first being how politically divided this country is on a scale like never before, adult bullies in places of authority, and how amazing this Father is to make such sacrifices for his child. This is how racism, segregation, prejudice, HATE is learned and accepted by a society. Despite your personal homophobia, this is just plan DUMB!

Cultural characteristics of Australians
The first inhabitants of this vast continent are the aborigines, coming to the land some 40,000 to 50,000 years ago, and the scholars thought they may have crossed the land bridges from Southeast Asia. These people were mostly hunter-gatherers with a complex oral tradition and spiritual beliefs. The Aborigines were able to use and sustain the continent’s resources, concurring to stop hunting and gathering at certain times to give ample time to the resources and populations to flourish. It is believed that before the European settlement, as many as half a million to a million Aborigines lived peacefully. Today, an estimated 350,000 Aborigines are living on the continent.

3 Philosophical Questions We Should Ask Ourselves Regularly
Specifically because our time here among the living is by default limited, we should examine our lives every now and then, question our current progress (if we're making any), and see for ourselves through contemplation, whether or not our limited time here is being wasted or is being well-invested. As a matter of fact, even, what drove me to become a philosopher is to increase my productivity as a writer, something which was a good choice, when I look at it retrospectively.

Workaholism As Futile
One of the many flaws of our world is that it encourages us to be as much productive as possible, and which each advancement of productivity, we are often rewarded with either the good increase of our reputation, our own pride, or our motivation to maintain such productivity. However, with such promotion, a toll on our lives can come and make our own endeavours for productivity, to be counter-productive. It may sound like a paradox, that our very own efforts can to promote us can demote us, but in reality, that demotion is not a construct of demoting promotion, which does not make sense, but of mere obsession -- the obsession that regardless of what we do, nothing is yet enough, and hence the initial impression that it's a paradox.

Happy National Coming Out Day… Celebrate With Your VOTE!
We are less than a month out from the US elections on November 8, standing at the crossroads of love and fear, knowing that once again, voters will help determine whose lives matter. In my book, all of the anti-trans legislation across America should be enough to send republicans packing. But of course, that’s not the thing that’ll do it. Overturning Roe, though- seems to have sent motivation to many. Good. It’s all the same conversation, really, a political party that is trying to (continue to) legislate a sickly twisted version of Christianity onto all of us. But the cishet rank and file, unless they both know AND support a trans human, likely wouldn’t rush to the polls in any great numbers to save us.

Let's talk about Gender Appropriation
Recently, someone on the glorious world of the Internet accused me, a transgender man, of appropriating gender. Though I knew the meaning of the word appropriation, I was confused as to how it related to gender, so I found myself pages deep into the controversial topic of gender appropriation. At the basis, this person was telling me I'm pretending to be a man, while not actually being one. This is as transphobic as it is incorrect, and I'll explain why.

Denying Lunches to LGBTQ Students is Cruel
Many of us likely remember the challenge of finding our place — literally and figuratively — in the school cafeteria. Imagine if you were not only poor and hungry, but also branded an outcast because of your sexual orientation or gender identity — or because of what others perceived it to be.

Hello, Velma and Congratulations!. Top Story - October 2022.
Alt-Right enthusiast, hold on to your hats, as we have become aware of yet another familiar nostalgic cartoon received a progressive face-lift. The beloved child classic Scooby-Doo now joins the ranks of other American animation to include an LGBTQ+ representative. Velma Dinkley recently expressed her amorous attraction to another female character in Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo and I am just waiting to see how the internet is going to react.

I Used to Dream about Him (Micro-nonfiction)
I used to dream about him. A tall, handsome stranger with strong arms to scoop me up into. He dressed smartly, smelled of cologne, wore a shiny watch and new shoes. He had a beard - always a beard. No matter how many times I imagined him over the years, in different outfits, with different body types. No matter how many times he changed - he always had a beard.

Why Netflix Should Have Never Labeled 'Dahmer' An LGBTQ+ Series
Since its debut on September 21, 2022, Ryan Murphy's latest offering on Netflix has stirred up a lot of controversy. Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story sought out to tell the story of the notorious serial killer from the perspective of the victims and, with that, tell the story from behind a lens that we haven't really seen before. Lead actor Evan Peters even said in promotional content for the series that the show wasn't even about Jeffrey Dahmer, despite his name being in the title twice.
