Growing your own cannabis can be a fun DIY project or a chance to connect with the plant before you consume it. But what do you even do with a male weed plant?

A 31 Day Financial Wellness challenge for Halloween targeting the Latinx market.

What makes the Marvel Cinematic Universe so popular is more than just Earth’s Mightiest Heroes; it's also the truly amazing villains. The villains of the MCU are as complex and diverse as their superhero counterparts. These villains have inspired fear, fights, and even the occasional funny moments that have defined a decade. Villains like Nebula and Loki have even swapped sides to become fan favorites.
This rogue's gallery of murderers, extremists, and supervillains have delivered some of the...

Many religions have an issue with queer people. Queer people can start to associate the alienation, hate speech, adverse treatment, or even violence they receive with their faith. This can cut you off from positive parts of your spirituality and culture. Regardless of how it may seem, we all need a healthy relationship with the unknown. The lack can leave you at odds with yourself. Plus, this trauma response can leave people so rooted in their faith in science or spiritual apathy they end up ...

As drag enters the mainstream, more aspects of drag culture are becoming popular. RuPaul hosted Saturday Night Live and has her own Netflix dramedy, AJ, and the Queen. Drag Race girls are popping up all over our television and movies. But make-up and lip-synching aren’t the only parts of drag culture becoming popular. There’s a lot of talk about “reading” and “throwing shade” in our community. While it has always been a part of our culture, it’s becoming apparent the history of reading might ...

Like most Americans, I am in debt. Hell, our country is in debt. Medical issues, predatory lending, student loans, and credit cards can put us in debt. But, our relationship with money is a relationship like any other. Emotional toxicity in that relationship can cause the debt. People win the lottery and still end up penniless. Our emotional issues can cause barriers to financial wellness. In the same way, they can keep us single, under-earning or depressed. Self-worth, baggage from our past,...

Whether you’re married with kids or living your best single life there’s no guidebook for gay coupling. In real estate, queer people are called urban pioneers because we discover new neighborhoods and moves places others would not. Similarly, we are on the bleeding edge creating our unique types of relationships. Sure, as queer men, it’s a privilege we can seek out as many sexual partners as we want. Yes, we can also establish romantic relationships that suit our specific sexual and emotional...

Martin Scorsese started some internet drama in 2019 when he said comic book movies are "not cinema." While Scorsese later clarified his point, comic book movies can require a fair bit of heavy lifting. Actors not only need to perform the emotions of the scene but also sell an entire fantastical reality. Sometimes, they're pulling double-duty as superhero and alter ego. So much of what makes a comic book movie come alive is being able to suspend belief and buy into the idea that superpowers, m...

The beginning of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows starts with, “These are dark times…” Well, this is not that movie, honey. Now is a time of expansion and evolution. These are scary times… yes. Complicated times…definitely. Confusing times….you bet your ass. An ass oddly preoccupied with TP. But honestly, I believe the reason people are so scared is because we are entering into a New Age. New Age philosophy has been around at least since the 1960s. But talk of a New Age for humanity goes ...

Sex is fun. Even in these crazy political times, we can all agree on that. As gay men, we can have sex however and arguably whenever we want. It can be so available it can seem transactional. Thanks to dating apps, sex is even more omnipresent. But because our culture is so sexually open it tends to be the simplest solution. It ends up being the automatic go-to to connect, engage with others, and sometimes even socialize. In the words of Peaches, we can “f**k the pain away.”
Sex, and the purs...

We are living in crazy times. If you are empathic at all, it can be easy to be affected by the fear, scarcity consciousness, and a general sense of unease. But whether this is a blessing or a curse is in the eye of the beholder. Your words are a vote. Your energy is a vote. Your time and attention are votes. What future are you putting in your ballot for?
It’s easy to give way to fear and think this is a biological weapon. It’s easy to let the gang upstairs, in your mind, concoct crazy storie...

Tips for Aligning Your Magic with Mother Earth
The rising popularity of spirituality is great. The more of us connecting with Divine forces means the more as a society we can connect deeper psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually. But as the market potential for spiritual wares grows, i.e. Sephora selling crystals, is this doing damage to Mother Earth? If everyone is selling palo santo is that putting our fragile forests at risk? After all, palo santo was used at holy indigenous ceremon...

There has been an unspoken bond between straight women and gay men for what seems like forever. From little gay boys playing with girls on the playground to having someone to go to prom with these bonds run deep. We are often fast friends and have an unabashed appreciation for each other. We can bond over our love of men or movies with a strong female lead. But we are still different genders. Also, politically, at times, we can seem like frenemies. The complexity of male privilege vs. straigh...
