anyone in mykonos need company this weekend? I’m here solo. 😅
I've been having these weird thoughts lately... Like, is any of this for real, or not?
i’ve been thinking a lot about gay centred spaces lately, how they’re gradually fizzling out with the advent of social media…under the weight of this financial destitution we’re all enduring. functionally, it makes sense to me why they’re disappearing…with the destigmatization of the community and the normalisation of hookup culture, there isn’t really a tangible ‘need’ for them to exist anymore i suppose. a lot of gay bars and clubs are almost wholly dependent on the facilitation of (extortionately priced!) alcohol…that’s why more innocuous venues aren’t particularly viable business ventures, they can’t cover the costs to keep things running. but it’s sad to me; we’re gradually losing so much history, culture, community…these historic spaces are slowly just turning into unremarkable buildings…our community is being filtered down into personally curated digital spaces. (ironic, lol) i know it’s not the end of the world, i know we’ll adapt to whatever hurdles or changes are thrown at us…but i guess i just romanticise that old world, or maybe…my idea of it.
so i won a month of grindr unlimited free- (which don’t get me wrong, is great!) but now every time i go onto the app, i feel the strange and thoroughly irrepressible urge to send ‘hey handsome~’ messages to every (even remotely) rugged guy in the country. ignoring the fact that i have no level of self control or respect…it’s so freaky to see all the features they gatekeep from everyone, like…they really do just make the ui of that app hell for everyone on purpose, don’t they?

Two adorable black kittens with white paws and chests are nestled together on a soft gray blanket patterned with cat faces. One kitten is lying on its back, reaching a paw up, while the other rests behind it, looking towards the side.
their mama passed away last week, but they’re being really brave and happy. (:

doing pride solo can either be really fun and spontaneous…or really desolate and demoralising.
Anyone hitting up London Pride this weekend? (: I’m heading there solo…and…uh…help. lol 😅🙃

A young man with dark, messy hair takes a selfie in the ocean. He is shirtless and appears to be at the beach on a sunny day.
was in sitges for pride a few weeks back, looking forward to hitting the beach again. (:
cis/het centred romance has to imagine the most superfluous conflict for a plot to even exist. the story has to be borderline fantastical for there to be any stakes. then you look at lgbt centric romance and the conflict comes from…having to exist irl, in a world of bigots. anyways- anyone have any good movie suggestions? lol

going to mykonos in two weeks, someone send me swimwear suggestions pls! 🥺🙏
does anyone else ever feel an anxiety and nervous compulsion about going to big pride parties and gay events? there’s a part of me that feels like i’m missing out on the gay experience, on the prime of my life…if i’m not forcing myself out there. don’t get me wrong, the anticipation is great- having something to strive and look forward to can be pretty positive and constructive if you ask me, it’s like a holiday or a vacation in that sense. but it’s just so expensive, it can be really lonely and stressful sometimes too…especially if you find yourself doing stuff solo. (as i often do) there’s no guarantee of a positive outcome…and even though you’re supporting the community in visibility and fiscally, there’s an undeniable sacrifice there. i love being gay, i love supporting the community and seeing people expressing themselves…but god it can be exhausting sometimes. … … … anyways, currently debating manchester pride at the end of the month…just wondering if anyone else is in that headspace i guess. if you’re in the area..and you’re in a similar frame of mind, let me know…i’ll keep you company. (:
