Two Truths And A Lie. Top Story - September 2024.
I’m nobody’s fool. You wouldn’t survive five minutes in this business if you were. And it doesn’t matter if you’re as savvy as the Artful Dodger, if they catch even a whiff of spring grass about your feet they’ll try and have one over on you. This year, I’ve got twins in my class, monozygotic bloody twins. They’re the worst. They’re not those twins who try and carve out their own identities either. These two work their identical credentials like the Weasley’s, if the Weasley’s were black, and girls, and non-magical. Charity and Joy.

The Guitar. Top Story - September 2024.
I walked into my house and tossed my keys on the kitchen table. What a long and terrible day. Today, I got fired from my job, from a company that I have worked at for over ten years. My heart just broke when they told me the news. Petting my old tabby cat, I sat on the couch and my heart broke all over again. I sighed softly, ten years. That is how long I was there for, and I worked my ass off for the company where dreams go to die. I worked like a dog for them for so long just for them to turn around and hire someone younger to fill my position. I could look for a new job but right now my heart just hurts. I glanced around the room, looking for where I had left my laptop and my glance fixated on my old guitar that my father had passed along to me. Maybe it’s time I picked up and started playing again.

A Human. Top Story - September 2024.
From the perspective of a straight man like myself, I took in the prowess and power of Jeffrey Wright’s Tony-Award winning performance as Belize in the groundbreaking play by Tony Kushner, Angels in America. I didn’t actually see the play but I noticed the bravura of Wright’s performance adapted to the small screen when the production appeared on HBO in 2003 as a miniseries. The captivating way he uses Mr. Kushner’s words allowed me to reconsider everything I knew about the LGBTQ+ community. He did one thing: make everyone human.
