Trump went after Tish James and James Comey because he can’t stand anyone who tells the truth and holds him accountable—and today, the judge made it clear that the courtroom isn’t his personal revenge tour.

I don't know who needs to hear this but you don't need to be productive all the time. You're allowed to have a slow life and you're still worthy of love when you don't have something to offer. You deserve love just by being alive. This includes love to yourself.

The Pig Is in the White House
This is what consequence-free misogyny looks like.

I am taking new Texas clients for counseling/therapy! I’m offering my virtual appointments. You can DM me or call (214) 326-0737 to set up a consultation or appointment. I’m only able to do therapy with Texas folks at this time. I’d love to meet you!

Sad to announce that there will be no more episodes of the Sex on the Couch podcast. It was fun while it lasted. Thanks for listening.

I can't believe I have to post this, but in these uncertain times, it's better to be prepared.

First episode! This has all my buzzwords: gay, sex, stories, psychology, wieners, sexual health, Chevy truck, first kiss, connection, swallowing, getting bred. Plus what a dream to share space with my dear friend @coachkevmartin.bsky.social to talk and laugh about all things around gay sex stories!

This is by and far one of the most important ways I love myself each week. The space and the people are magic salve in this world!
Every Monday at 1:00 pm HT, I lead a free guided meditation session via Zoom. We call ourselves the “Woo-Woo Crew”—and it’s the best way to start your week.
Register for tomorrow’s session here! calendly.com/coachkevmart...

When I first came out, not long after the above picture was taken, I expected anger. I expected silence. And I got both. The phone stopped ringing for a while. I became something to be tolerated rather than embraced.

In my latest substack post, I talk about my time in Portland at @coachkevmartin.bsky.social SHAMELESS retreat. It was magic and changed so much in such a short time. Check it out!

Y'all, my eating habits are ridiculous. I have a history of binge eating and extreme withholding of food. I told myself last night that I would get my shit together today. I had copious cups of coffee for breakfast and 2 chocolate bars for lunch. Not off to a strong start!

Trauma recovery means affirming to ourselves, over & over, in little & big ways: I will prioritize self-respect, in what I say to myself & how I behave toward myself, every day, in every way I realistically can-- whether or not I've been programmed to believe I "deserve" it.

Tired boy today! So grateful for this past week. Missing people already. Blessed to have people to miss. Love y’all!

This week has been full of love, community, touch, growth, and magic. I’m so full of gratitude. Thank you Shameless boys, Coach Kev, Huna fam, and Lisset & Brittney! Y’all are beautiful humans! I love you all!

We store trauma in our memory, in the depths of our unconscious and conscious spaces. We also store these in our bodies. The constant pain your shoulder, the incessant burn in your stomach, in may symptoms that mimic autoimmune disease, all can be somatic storage in your body. New Substack Post.

Got this fierce new sweater that I’m in love with. It’s 101 degrees in September, so not sure if I’m going to get to wear it. Lol

Did you know there’s an opposite to paranoia? The word is pronoia – it means the belief that the world around you is conspiring to help you.

I am really from the gut tired. Everyday is a new low to the depths of cruelty we encounter. I have been stuck. It is fucking overwhelming. If you are exhausted too, that is ok. We have been around since time began and we will come out of this still here and still fucking queer.
