Was writing a piece yesterday responding to an Instagram Reel about how toxic masculinity is not real. I feel like I wanna scrap it though. As important as confronting toxic masculinity is, I'm not sure doing so in a reactionary way is the most effective. I'm thinking it's more important to express and show what a healthy masculinity looks like, which falls into the category of Paul's commentary about "speaking the truth in love."

I guess my issue is where I'm coming from as I write the piece more than what the piece is about. #writing #blogging #toxicmasculinity

I miss the days when musicians sang their songs on stage with some smoke and lights and that was about it. There weren’t 50 dancers and eight outfit changes.

Why does everything have to be such a spectacle? Isn’t the music enough?

nostr:npub1xpcqmx422lf6cm6nzup53vfsfvyz7pjfarwdklj3apxaggjtdqmqg03t05 of all the concerts I've been to, my favorite shows have been the punk shows in musty church basements and the ones I've seen at venues like The Metro in Chicago and the small stage at The Old National Center in Indianapolis. Just raw music for music's sake. Plus, I'm not paying $250 to see a 4 hour stage show and hear maybe 6 songs.
