I am a mental health professional and advocate writing on topics related but not limited to what you see before you!
Dear Facebook Friends...
A chatbot situation recently (don’t ask) reminded me that Facebook is a social media platform that rests a bit on speech suppression, and I don’t mesh with that vibe. In today’s heated political and social climate, it can be tempting to sit back and shut up, but I have actively refused to do so because social media is the ideal platform with which to advocate for myself and others. I tell it how it is because it feels like the compassionate thing to do. I was raised to tell the truth, even if...

The Danger of Learned Loneliness
As I navigate through these past few months of post-mood stabilizer prescription, I can feel my brain begin to heal. It is much easier to see things clearly and not through gray-cloud glasses. With gray-cloud glasses removed, I can now reflect on the degree of mental illness of those around me. My initial assessment that other people were happier or more content than me was grossly mistaken. I now observe a fair amount of subclinical depression that belongs somewhat in the domain of biologica...

In Gates We Trust: A Great Crime Against Humanity
Amongst the cultural fractures that have taken place within the United States in recent years, speaking on hot-button issues brings trepidation and fear of ostracization from those I love and respect; those with whom I want to engage in civil discussion. However, it is no longer optional for us to avoid the discussion surrounding the political and governmental farce that resulted in social and health consequences for many throughout the United States. While these issues are not exclusive to o...

The Bioethical Implications of Brain-Computer Interfacing: An Argument in Favor of Decentralization and Harmonization
Biomedical engineering or biotech is an umbrella term covering particular domains including brain-computer interfacing technologies. In this observational paper, I will discuss this subject matter to draw attention to the booming industry of biotechnology. We have seen several near-miraculous innovations in biotech since the revolution of the industry itself: efficacious treatments for ailments, innovative procedures, and streamlined devices with limited side effects. In this observational re...

Marilyn Manson: Monster?
In this post, I will be addressing Marilyn Manson and my thoughts on the accusations against him. If you’re not familiar with the accusations, I’d suggest you educate yourself before you proceed, as some of what I write will be out of context. Within the past six months I have made good progress on my first book, an American gothic set in modern-day rural America. Details aside, my book will explore the darker side of humanity as is traditional in gothic literature. I hope that someday reader...
