For the tone deaf people who can't see beyond their own privilege, We can't agree to disagree on human rights. When it comes to bigotry, racism, homophobia, or transphobia, it's not up for debate. "Calling bigotry a difference of opinion is like calling arsenic a flavor." –Jack Cameron

I've spent all morning working on music, and I can't wait to release my next project!

Men with traits of toxic masculinity will do whatever makes them feel strong, even if that means harming others. This is why so many of them become politicians, cops, and ICE agents. They assert dominance by any means necessary, and they gain power so they can abuse it.

Thoughts about the current state of humanity.

If the world feels wrong, it's because you're paying attention.

I'm appalled by the people who condone the actions of ICE. How is it acceptable for non-compliance to result in being fatally shot? ICE is literally using lethal force to enforce their authority. Wake the f**k up. This is the escalation of authoritarianism.

My EP "SHADOW SELF" is out now! There was a time when my demons almost defeated me, but I fought for my life and reclaimed my power. This project is about purging the poison from my consciousness and transmuting the darkness to light. Streaming links in bio.

For many creatives, being an artist isn't simply a hobby. It's a part of who we are.

How many public executions have to occur before people open their eyes? Two lives have been taken by ICE, and countless others have been damaged. We can't ignore the atrocities being committed in our streets, and we can't accept this cruelty. The violence needs to end.

Learning to recognize AI is becoming an important tool for navigating the world. AI is being integrated into everything. The line between real and fake is becoming increasingly blurry, so critical thinking is more important than ever.

White supremacists have historically used Christianity to enslave, commit genocide, colonize, and justify bigotry. It's a cycle of harm that has continued, even today. Republicans in power are carrying out a white supremacist agenda right now, and they're doing it in the name of God and Jesus.

A 37 year old man was fatally shot by ICE in Minneapolis. I'll never forgive the people who support this. You voted for dehumanization, violence, chaos and fatalities. The blood is on your hands.

If you think you are above politics, remember that neutrality only enables the oppressor. I don't understand how people can be impartial while we are literally experiencing a crisis in America. Your neutrality doesn't make you superior, it makes you complicit.

Reading has become such an important part of my day. I'm very happy with this new development!

Hoping for everyone's safety during this upcoming winter storm.

Admiring the night sky is one of the best things about life.

The LGBTQ community has always been filled with powerful voices, innovators, and visionaries. We are the next generation, and we have a legacy of art, resilience and self expression to uphold.

Legality is not a source of morality. Slavery and the Holocaust were legal, that doesn't justify the horror of those events. If you support ICE simply because they hold authority, you are a bootlicker who will support evil as long as it's in accordance with the law.

When motivation isn't there to rely on, use discipline instead.

I'm thankful to have a partner who also loves weird and obscure things, who shares the same values as me, who understands the artistic spirit, who I can hold deep conversations with, who I can trust and confide in, and most importantly, someone who loves me. @tydalemcalister.bsky.social

I recently bought The Secret Teachings of All Ages and The Kybalion. I'm very curious about the mysteries of consciousness and the universe. Time to get back into my esoteric and mystical studies!

Bigotry is a trait of low intelligence.

There was a period of my life where I struggled with people pleasing tendencies. I had issues standing up for myself, and saying no. I've learned the importance of being assertive, and advocating for yourself. It's not about being aggressive, it's about having boundaries and communication skills.

ICE is basically the weaponization of government forces for the purposes of racial profiling. All under the guise of keeping America safe.

@bandcamp.com has announced that they will be banning AI generated music from their platform. I'm glad I choose to use them as one of the platforms that hosts my music. Thank you for valuing real artists and true creativity!

When you begin to know your worth, it's magnetic, and others will see it too.

We did some redecorating, and the house looks great! I'm currently making some stuffed avocados, and I'm ready to enjoy this afternoon with my love, @tydalemcalister.bsky.social

They said Renee Good tried to run over an ICE agent. The video tells another story. He reached for his gun before she pulled forward, her wheels were turned away from him, he fired the first shots standing beside her vehicle and kept firing as she drove away. The details paint a clearer picture.

Addiction can grasp and consume anyone, I've seen it all my life and even experienced it myself. If you are struggling, remember that you are more than an addiction, and your life has so much value. I know how difficult it can be to find sobriety, but it is possible! Don't give up. 🤍

The Minneapolis ICE shooting.

It's gross when people with big online platforms choose to remain silent about the evil that's happening in our country. They post their content, and beg for engagement as if nothing is happening. If you can post your photos and brand sponsorships, you can use your voice for something important.

We're in a time where anti intellectualism is being branded as patriotism.

When living with a chronic illness, it can take years adjusting to a new reality. I've had dysautonomia for three years, and I'm still learning how to live with my illness and manage my symptoms.

An ICE agent has taken a woman's life in Minneapolis.This wasn't an act of self defense, it was an abuse of power! This is what happens when their cruelty and brutality are normalized. At what point is it taken too far? Enough is enough.

If you've never felt like you belong in this world, maybe it's because you're here to help create a new one.

I don't agree that creatives need the most expensive equipment in order to pursue art. Often times, artistry is about resourcefulness, that's a part of the magic. It's not about the tools you have, but rather, how you use them. It's okay to start small. The important thing is that you start!

During the past few years, I've been developing my emotional intelligence. I've learned that it's not a destination. You don't arrive after reading one book, watching one documentary, or having one moment of self reflection. Building emotional intelligence is a lifelong journey and a daily practice.

I'll continue saying it, homelessness is not a personal failure, it's a systemic failure. They are not low lives. They are human beings who are facing struggles that most of us could never imagine. Maybe instead of reacting to the homeless with contempt, we should respond with compassion.

I've been recording new music for a couple of months now. I can't wait to share once it's ready! 😁

Yes. I'm opinionated and outspoken, but I'd rather stand for something than nothing at all.

If you have an issue with seeing LGBTQ people in movies and TV shows, you need to face the reality that we exist. We deserve to be seen, heard, and have our stories told. Whether it's in the real world or fiction, we deserve representation too.

It's a new year, but don't forget that EVERY day is an opportunity to cleanse, renew, and make things different. Have a beautiful day!

I don't care how many Bible verses you recite. Do you care about people? Do you have empathy? Are you actually a good person?

AI is ruining creativity, but real artists still exist, we just need support. Share your friend's artwork, support their photography page, go to their music gigs. Keep real art alive!

It doesn't matter when you were born, where you grew up, or how you were raised. It's a personal responsibility to become a better human.

Being a rebel is about defiance and resistance. It isn't simply a look or a style, it's an attitude and a mentality. We challenge the norms and change the standards. We're here to push the world forward, and inspire change.
