Thoughts With Peachez

With the release of the new game Dragon Age: The Veilguard, there seems to be some adulation and concern regarding the character creation and romantic interest system within the game. This specific circumstances is very reflective of the current political climate especially with the election pending. We need to have a conversation about diversity and inclusion embassy's ability.That just because an option(s) exists for others that may not see our needs does not mean that the option(s) are not valid and suitable for others

Just a warning, I got a little bit tearied and cried a little bit at the end in the last segment. This Pride season feels different....Heavier even (at least to me) With everything going on in the world, we need to come together as a community to fight for our future and the future of those coming after us. To do that, we must understand where and what has up divided and work to bridge those gaps AND sometimes have very tough conversations. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thghtswpeachez/message

This week, with the announcement of the closing of Hanger bar and the upcoming closing of the Blue Store in Chelsea. There is a circumstance of understanding what these places mean to the community that needs not be forgotten. It's not just with these places. In particular, but also places like them that we need to understand their relevance to the progress. We've made as a community at large and not just look at them as the butt of a joke which seems to be with a lot of people are taking it as. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thghtswpeachez/message

This one is going to be something interesting: I will be featuring my older brother @dirty_jerz_1983, and you get to hear what it was like growing up with the creature I have become today. With that, we will get into some current events and political shenanigans. Being a black man and father of 2 in America, I am sure he will have plenty to say! After that, I will do a segment about the 2023 documentary "The Stroll" (On @hbomaxes). I know it says brief, but this film covered some powerful parts of the history of the LGBTQIA Community in NYC and the fact that black, trans woman were and still are part of the foundation of all the rights we have today. Special thank you to @egypttlabeija and all over the other beautiful trans women featured for sharing their stories and the history that we as a community can not afford to forget! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thghtswpeachez/message

This new season of American Horror Story is alot of things... The context is important to understanding alot of them and getting where the plot point are coming from.

We are now 3 episodes in Seasin 14 of @rupaulsdragrace , and I wanted to talk about some of my thoughts and feelings about what we've seen so far. For this one though I thought I would bring in some backup so I have invited my good Judy's @anida_tension an amazing drag performer(and avid seamstress) along with returning guest @geejaygee12 a talent dancer, choreographer, and creative director. I think between the 3 of us and our experiences will be able to unpack these episodes and give some really solid predictions for the rest of the season. #thoughtswithpeachez #rupaulsdragrace #season14 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thghtswpeachez/message

Is in the world we live in today art and media inform a lot of how we see the world reflect people's thoughts in opinions of others.. The reason why representation matters is if you were not exposed or experienced certain things in life your only way of knowing about them is what you're seeing what is presented to you so that should be just as diverse as the people who exist in the world if we hope to better understand and live with each other --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thghtswpeachez/message

On today, the 5 year anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub Shooting, I felt the need to let it all out. Apologies, for any issues with the sound or general tone throughout.

I will start by saying this will not be some kind of #acab bashing of law enforcement. I have some thoughts, opinions, and questions I would like to put out there and see what can come of it. With everything being seen in the news, it is hard to not have police and civilian interactions (especially those with BIPOC and "questionable" methods and usages of force) in the front of our mind.
