This week, I give a brief recap of my life and some rapid topic thoughts on news topics that have come up over the past two weeks. Also, I delve into the first two episodes of Quiet on Set, a documentary shedding light on the mistreatment endured by staff and child actors within Nickelodeon. Streaming on Max, this eye-opening series exposes the horrors of gender inequality, racism, and the blatant child abuse adults did very little about. Buckle up, because as a Millennial who grew up watching shows like All That, The Amanda Show, and Drake and Josh, I have plenty to discuss and a lot unpack and I only got through the first two episodes!Twitter: @GatherThemPodIG: @GatherThemPodTumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/weallgatherhereEmail: Gatherthempod@gmail.com

I felt like I had a lot of points I wanted to make about the Super Bowl—not so much about the game itself, though. Tune in to hear me discuss the ads (the good, the bad, and the ugly), Beyoncé's release of new music, and the halftime performance.Twitter: @GatherThemPodIG: @GatherThemPodTumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/weallgatherhereEmail: Gatherthempod@gmail.com

Happy Black History Month ✌🏾This week, I initially expected a short episode but ended up having more to share. I provided some life updates. Going to see Tinashe in concert this weekend for my birthday weekend!In this extended "Media Lab" episode, I covered various topics. Firstly, I celebrated HISS reaching the #1 spot. I delved into a discussion about a clip from Mo'Nique on Club Shay Shay, sparking conversations about the portrayal of trans individuals and how those outside the queer community perceive LGBTQ+ people. Additionally, I discussed the trailer for the two-part Wendy Williams documentary, showed interest in the Selena/Yolanda docuseries, and expressed thoughts on Tinashe's debut album "Aquarius" ahead of her concert!Twitter: @GatherThemPodIG: @GatherThemPodTumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/weallgatherhereEmail: Gatherthempod@gmail.com

This week I review my week, discuss Ketamine Assisted Treatment and how it can help people who maybe have tried and failed other treatments or want additional support. I also discuss Tinashe's Joyride, and the Megan/Nicki Beef. Lastly, I discuss the shared my thoughts on Gen Z and Millennials sharing pop culture and societal perspectives vs older generations.Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/new-beginning/202208/introduction-ketamine-assisted-psychotherapyTwitter: @GatherThemPodIG: @GatherThemPodTumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/weallgatherhereEmail: Gatherthempod@gmail.com

This week, I discuss current goals and ways I want to help the Black queer community in the 'Live, Learn, and Affirmations' segment. Also, I keep the Tinashe discography rolling with my review of the album Nightride, and I discuss my thoughts on Tubi's 'Coming Out' in the Media Lab. Lastly, for my final thought, I discuss this push for people wanting to be social media influencers and the current state of even finding purpose. Trust me, I see you all; life is hard, but we got this!How y'all doing? Trust me I see you all, life is hard but we got this, it's Pluto in Aquarius!Twitter: @GatherThemPodIG: @GatherThemPodTumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/weallgatherhereEmail: Gatherthempod@gmail.com

Thinking to restructure: I want Fox to do better with Tubi; Also, I review Tinashe's 333  album  and Angel Numbers/Astrology in the Media Lab segment. I review what Coming Out, Tubi series, means to me as a black gay man.  I talk about the themes I'm seeing and what they mean to me, along with the means of access for streaming platforms like Tubi, and ranting about why the LGBTQ+ needs it's own spaces, especially the black LGBTQ+ community in the Final Thought segment. Angel Numbers, what's yours?
