The Thirteenth Year
The number 13: there are two reasons why this number holds dear and near to me. The first being that I was born on the 13th of November and the second is today, I celebrate my 13th coming out anniversary. February 20, 2012, was a scary, yet joyous moment in my life. While many people have since stopped being friends with me because of me coming out as a gay man, there are others who love and accept me for who I am. I knew that I liked guys at a very young age, but my now estranged parents, made it difficult for me to fully express myself. I had to act and look a certain way around them. To them, being yourself is wrong and they think something is wrong with you. I had to hide my true self for about the next 20 years, because I grew up in the 90s, at a time when being gay was a taboo topic and not accepted by society.

Summer Love
James strolled through the meadow carelessly, smelling the flowers in bloom. The creek that ran through the grassland bubbled happily nearby, and the birds sang a merry summer song. All was well, and James had not a care in the world. Somehow, James knew this would be the best summer of his life.

All About Ella. Content Warning.
I know I’m aesthetically pleasing, I see it when I look in the mirror every goddamn day. Yet men always feel the need to tell me that I’m beautiful as if it’s news to me, as if they’re the first person to say it to me, and not the 5th dude to stop me to tell me so today when I’m just trying to go out, do groceries, and go home. I’ve been trying to make myself look more masc, more androgynous, less appealing to the male gaze, but because of my beauty it doesn’t seem to matter what I do, men will continue to stop me and expect me to swoon as they repeatedly disturb my peace.

"Vib"ranium
First off "Spoiler Alert" just watched the new Captain America movie. So......there will be some references to the movie. there are a couple perspectives of Vibranium i will touch on. The most obvious is the cosmic metal that was used to make adamantium. Ok I'm 16 walking into Wegmans'; where Alec Baldwins mother shops for her groceries; to purchase a Marvel Universe update 89' comic. I walked to the magazine isle to see the selection of comics. while I was thumbing through my thoughts."lets see Wolverine, Uncanny X-men, Fantastic Four, Thor. Wow! whats this!" I came upon a gem. See I hadn't planned to purchase a Marvel encyclopedia; but when I saw it I knew. that It was exactly what I wanted. You see the encyclopedias' detailed out certain things like A character's names: like Blade's,which was unknown; teams history: like the Avengers and X-men headquarters were located in upstate New York; and super descriptions: like Adamantium is a combinations of metals. 50 percent and 50 various other metals. the advance of the various metals should be 45 percent Uru and 5 percent Titanium. Why Uru? Uru is tied to Urusalem in the Arc of the covenant; but I digress. You see in the comic books, and a wolverine origin story in the movies. Adamantiun was created by Stryker in a Canadian Research facility. Where he placed on weapon X of Alpha Flight's bones. when you know this comic book info. It makes it difficult to reconcile that adamantium came from space in the form of a Celestial AI being. this is exactly what happened in the Captain America a new world movie. I wonder if viewers of Harry Potter and Twilight had the same trouble as I did reconciling. Fortunately, the presence of Wakandan Tech and Vibranium in the movie was well represented. Now that we have dicussed the objective perspective of Vibranium. next we will discuss the subjective.

LASER VASCULAR CENTER. Content Warning.
What Causes Varicose Veins? Varicose Veins are caused by defective valves in the vein. Blood travels back to the heart through the veins with the help of one-way valves. When these valves malfunction, blood return is slowed and venous insufficiency occurs. This results in veins stretching out more, and more valves malfunctioning.

Advice From A Stranger . Top Story - February 2025.
The world sees the Stonewall Inn as a historical gem, the place where the gay rights movement started. Many queer people that live in the city see it as a quaint place and somewhere for everyone to meet and pregame before going to another club. But I see it as a hangout place, somewhere I can go and catch a drag show or dance to music without worry.
