The March of Price: My Journey to Self-Discovery
I remember my first pride march vividly. A sea of colors splashed against the gray cityscape, a technicolor heartbeat thumping out the rhythm of acceptance and love. But I wasn't part of the vibrant rainbow; instead, I was a spectator, a young man trapped on the sidelines of his own life.

The K-Pop Scandal Update
I’ve been trying to market my book called The K-Pop Scandal for a while. I am not sure when it will be published, but it is going through some final stages touches. I’ve had a lot of fun with story and thanks to Publishizer, I feel more confident to share my book out to the world when it is ready to. I joined Vocal’s Discord server and tried out the /imagine command to generate some images. The prompt I used was: a male k-pop duo celebrate pride in concert. Some of the images looked quirky, whilst others are hilarious like this one below.

KOHL's PRIDE Market. Content Warning.
Kohl’s, a department store, is facing backlash from customers over its Pride-themed clothing line, leading to threats of a boycott. The retailer recently launched its LGBT+ clothing range in honor of Pride Month, featuring items such as hats, shirts, and pants adorned with the Pride flag colors. However, some shoppers took to social media to express their concerns, particularly focusing on a grey onesie for babies. Critics questioned why Kohl's was selling Pride-themed clothing for infants and called for a boycott of the store. A viral video on Twitter showcased a customer reviewing the Pride collection and criticizing its appropriateness for children. These events drew comparisons to Bud Light and Target, both of which faced criticism and backlash for their LGBTQ+ partnerships and merchandise. Despite the controversy, many people have praised Kohl's for its Pride merchandise and have condemned those calling for a boycott. On a separate note, Target also faced backlash and made adjustments to its Pride Month merchandise due to threats and inappropriate behavior towards its employees. The specific items removed were not specified, but it was reported that items from British designer Erik Carnell's LGBTQ+-focused brand, Abprallen, were pulled from the store. Carnell expressed disappointment with the decision, stating that the merchandise was intended for the adult section and not for children.
