My grandmother always said,
“Bad association spoils useful habits.”

as a young fox,
i rolled my eyes because i was desperate to belong.
as a grown fox with many experiences of betrayal under his fur?
it turns out that Gran was right.
enter the jay and diddy alleged debacle…

Allegedly,
i thought YMCA from The Village People was a gay anthem.
I heard that when I was a kid.
I literally just asked someone if that song wasn’t associated with gay folks back in the day.

i mean,
allegedly,
the group was dressed like they were going to a circuit party.
it doesn’t help “village” in the group name is the gay mecca in new yawk.
ever since our new president made YMCA his hype track…

the group’s been spiraling and having a hissy fit over the song’s alleged origins.
now,
one of them is even threatening to sue anyone who dares call it a gay anthem…

How do we measure masculinity in the black community?

Is it in the depth of our voice,
the weight we can lift,
or the quiet battles we fight when no one’s watching?

i’ve been cool with cheaters,
liars,
and even a few abusers who were all straight.
the wild part is…

Have you ever been told you’re not doing enough for God?

someone hit me with that last night,
and let me font you,
that shit didn’t sit right with me.

WTF does God want me to do?

i go to church,
pray,
and give gratitude for the big and small things.
i could understand if i was out here being evil and karma was out to get me.
believe or not,
i choose kindness over being a feral bitch 98% of the time.
am i supposed to sign some celestial contract in blood?
the wild part is if that was the case,
i’d be living like a king.
it’s moments like this where the whole “God thing” feels…

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to walk through life with the confidence of a straight, white wolf/vixen?

this morning,
i ( x scrolled through an article ) about gwyneth paltrow’s daughter,
apple martin,
and i blurted out a thought i felt we weren’t supposed to say out loud:

Why can’t I feel entitled like that?

not the kind of entitlement that screams “spoiled brat” or “trust fund menace”,
but moreso a healthy entitlement.
the kind where you know your worth and demand that others treat you accordingly.
naturally,
my mind took a detour into the days i was a hot ‘n’ happen’n pick-me…

I’m always confused when they try to throw these types to the gays.

um,
unless it’ a pick-me gay,
the rest of us don’t want his ass.
i’m a black gay male who doesn’t have any issues with vixens.
i don’t like idiots but i don’t like idiots that come in all kinds and communities.

so i don’t understand how we got “here“.
allowing jackals from the early 1700s to have platforms in this decade.
we are allowing our kids to watch their streams; we gave others the power to run the country.
myron gaines from the platform,
“fresh ‘n’ fit“,
was on sneako’s stream going TF off on vixens who game…
