Taboo
Ways to Incorporate Role Playing into Your Relationship . Content Warning.
It could be awkward to first introduce the concept of role-playing in the bedroom and acting as a “naughty” pilot who wants to be accepted into the Mile High Club alongside a seductive flight attendant. That may come across as a little corny. But for exactly that reason—to let go of your inhibitions and lean into something more lighthearted and liberating—you might want to give it a shot in the first place.

Three Moments
I feel like there is something I should have been told… 1. I was on a social media site, watching a video related to racism in the USA. I decided to repost it to friends whom I knew would be very interested in the issues covered. I received a very pointed message from a former student. Apparently, I did not set them up with a “trigger warning”. This bothered me, and I made it clear that life did not come with one, I never received one when I was being mistreated over my race, and that the rest of the world did not deserve to be coddled and protected from the true ugliness out there. My correspondent countered with the idea that movies come with ratings, so why can’t I provide a warning much in the same way? Right, the movies… A system of ratings created by the same industry in order to protect their backs from the press and local government (Hollywood is always out for itself; it is a real show business). I really did not know what to say, so I did not say a thing. I just make sure not to share these videos with this student (and should I mention that we are of the same race?)

The Death of Burlesque
Burlesque’s Tragic Demise In January of 1974, I left my college dorm for the last time and headed for the big city of Rochester, New York to begin my new career. All it took for me to toss my graduation cap into the air and don a sequined G-String was the opportunity to dance my heart out every night and get paid for it. After having danced on Broadway in my mind since I turned five, that was a dream come true.

What My Therapist Doesn't Know. Top Story - December 2023.
It's a freezing day in December, almost Christmas. My breath puffs out like clouds of cigarette smoke in the clear night air of the motel parking lot. At the moment, I wish it was cigarette smoke because I can't remember being this nervous in a very long time. Maybe the Christmas Eve service twenty years ago, when a pushy grandmother shoved her mini-skirted teen granddaughter up to the piano in our little Baptist Church and plopped an unfamiliar piece of music before me, stating, "Missy is going to sing. Play this."

Just a Little Fever. Content Warning.
It started innocently enough – just a little fever. The kind that makes you think a good night's sleep and a few over-the-counter pills will fix everything. Little did I know that this seemingly insignificant fever would unravel into a series of events that would reshape my perspective on life.

Annoying habits - if you don't stop doing that I'm going to scream! . Content Warning.
The rhythmic tapping echoed through the room, a relentless assault on my sanity. It was a sound so innocuous yet increasingly infuriating, like a water droplet persistently hitting the same spot. I sat at my desk, trying to focus on the spreadsheet in front of me, but the tapping invaded my concentration, demanding acknowledgment.
