My friends, I want to talk about TikTok. Specifically, I want to talk about the choice I made to stop posting on TikTok for the last three or so months. I want to start by saying, if you're in the social media game, and you're feeling pressured to post all the time and you need a break, you do ...

I'm also one of those weirdos who loves reading books on my tablet. I like turning out al...

    Last week, I held the first live office hour call with members of my Trans Vocal Exploration e-course. It was such a wonderful experience to see everyone's faces and hear about the things that are coming up for them while they work through this course. Many of the students described chal...

  Today, September 23rd, is Celebrate Bisexuality Day! This day is but one day in Bisexual Awareness Week which started on September 19th and which I've been celebrating all week on Instagram. If you don't follow me there, here is my first post of this week:       View this post on ...
