I wrote these for my creative writing class and I found them archived in my emails dating back to 2004. I can’t remember the teacher’s name, but it was a creative writing class I took at Station Camp HIgh School in Gallatin, TN. The school was only a few years old, and we only had…
Many people will tell you not to take psychoactives if you have PTSD or other various psychiatric disorders. They warn against ‘bad trips’ and say you will have a bad time. Naturally, I decided to test this theory.
We have Mr, Ms, and Mrs, but what should nonbinary or those ascribing to more neutral identities use? You’ve probably heard of “Mx” by now as the most prominent honorific used by nonbinary people.

Once in awhile I see youtube videos or facebook comments about “all the damn made up genders,” and it kind of bothered me. So I decided to go have a look. Which genders were “made up,” or who started them? I was curious as to how exactly made up they were. Then I realize technically…
Gatekeeping is a form of abuse that is commonly used in the community to keep others away from certain activities. This tactic can be very dangerous to people who are just coming out or are exploring their own identities and orientation. Let’s take a look at how this tactic affects the community after the gap:…
I recently read an article about a realistic sex android. The big fuss was about how ugly the face was, and how creepy the idea of having a robot satisfy you orally. I’d like to propose that the government buy these out and give them to disabled people in a similar way they give emotional…
