Straight Guys in Gay Space
Recently my friend shared an article she found online titled “The Danger of Allowing Straight Cis Men into LGBTQ Spaces.” It focused on a specific Hollywood nightclub that was being overrun by straight men. It gave an example of a man who made aggressive sexual advances to two lesbians. He would not leave them alone when they asked. When they agreed to let him take them home because they were too drunk to drive, he sexually assaulted one of them.

How the 'House M.D.' Soundtrack Helps Me Cope with Medical Issues
I have a lot of medical stress. A few months ago I had my first angiogram of the brain (after a neuro-vascular issue was discovered on an MRV scan). This test involved making an incision into the artery on my leg and feeding a tub with a tiny camera all the way up to my brain (while I was partially conscious). I have Ehlers Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that causes easy tears and bleeding. I am at a higher risk of hemorrhage. Fortunately, I was only conscious enough that I don’t remember them asking me questions or anything during the test. I only remember waking up to the artery clamp malfunctioning, blood spewing out, and a dude crushing his full weight into my hip while people were shouting, “keep the pressure.” There was a ton of bruising afterwards and a weird mass formed.

Many agree that social media is poison. There are better things a person can be doing than wasting hours on Facebook absorbing the idiocy, drama, and pseudo-social justice wars.

How to Fail as a Singer/Songwriter
1. Need a band. It’s really hard when you can’t just do music accompaniment by yourself because singing/writing is your strong point and playing instruments is not. You have to remember though that for anyone playing with you: it’s their music and time too (unless you or a record label are paying enough to give you the creative control). Still, it’s harder to keep musicians involved that aren’t creatively invested and just feel like human instruments. If you want others involved, you have to be a team player.
