I just want to create crazy, beautiful art—and if it helps and inspires others in the process then I would love that too. That’s the ultimate goal.

referencing in fashion: take Coco Chanel and Alexander McQueen for example, they both have EXTREMELY different styles but they both wanted to empower women, and now people are simply referencing the clothes and not the idea that it was made to empower women, so now the clothes lack that energy and end up falling flat and the wearer is worn by the clothes, there’s not attitude or confidence

if you ask me on a deeper level, i think people who’ll watch the HP series for nostalgias sake should do so… by doing it illegally. at the end of the day, who am i to police someone’s enjoyment of art? but what i will say is, if you care about trans people, you shouldn’t be invested in giving a singular cent of your money to Joanne. enjoy the media away, just don’t give her your money. 🏴‍☠️

Pues sí, nos gustamos. Los dos lo sabemos. Así que mejor fingir distancia, mirar a otro lado cuando el otro llega, responder tarde, hacer como que da igual. No vaya a ser que lo fácil funcione, que la risa encaje, que el deseo no se equivoque. Mejor complicarlo, no sea que, por descuido, acabemos siendo felices sin haberlo planeado. -Ron Lorent-

Posting my old art makes me realize how much love I lost for the craft during university. It no longer felt like expression but a task I ran out of energy for. Shoutout to my artist burnouts and I hope you find your spark again 🫶🏼

Nobody loves a stalemate. Liking it is another matter. Sharing bed sheets in a downy purgatory. Softness, no matter the position you prefer. You could lie in satin for eternity, but you’ll never love it. It’s a commitment in name only. A lovely open room with nowhere to sit. Standing, never acknowledging the windows, exits that could end the imagined battle whose victory is avoided at any cost, destitution embraced, bare bones coveted over any semblance of concession, a feast of truth left to rot along with the minds of men who desire the battle over the simple option of peace

I built a life that looked… safe… for a short while. People admired it. Maybe they even said I’ve got it together. And for a moment, it felt like I did too. I stood in that version of me and thought: yeah, this is solid. Then depression kicked in. And that same life didn’t just crack, it fell so hard it shredded like dry bread. Everything I’d built scattered into crumbs. Anxiety and fear moved in like scavengers, feeding on the pieces for so long that now… inside… I’m disappearing. Every day the same gray loop: same thoughts chewing the same wounds, same rooms closing in, same silence where excitement used to live. I can’t remember the last time I felt properly alive. Not just surviving the hours, actually buzzing, present, here. There’s this part of me that still wants to shake it all loose. Leave. Burn it down. Start over somewhere the air doesn’t feel like lead. Breathe again. Feel something real again. But the fear clamps down hard: what if it’s worse? What if I’m not strong enough anymore? So I stay frozen in the wreckage, letting the crumbs get smaller every day. It’s not living badly. It’s just not living fully.

What is Collective? When was the last time you felt free to fully express yourself on a social app? Or made a digital connection that turned into a real-deal friendship? If you’ve ever wondered whether meaningful queer connections online are actually possible, it sounds like you could use some Collective in your life. A Meet-New-People App Collective is a social app where girls, gays, and theys connect in a space built for and by queer people. It’s not a dating app, it’s for making gay friends, finding community, and meeting new people. With location-based profiles, you can discover queer people in your city or while travelling. It’s a hub for queer events, recommendations, and advice. Think of Collective as your trusty neighborhood gay bar. Interests Over Likes Collective is an alternative social media space where you can find your people. People visiting your profile see your interests, not how many likes or followers you have. Members connect, create, and support each other. Because no one really gets it like other queer people. Express every version of yourself and find others doing the same. Collective is free to join, with a global community of over 100,000 members.

Does anyone on here struggle with their existence? Lately I have do to my CPTSD, parents not believing in my goals or being optimistic, the LGBTQ+ dating scene, and this world makes it so hard to be authentic even when I try without force. I’m putting this out to see if anyone understands, or has advice. I’ve been very uncomfortable recently, and have struggled to sleep because of current time. I’m just fed up of constantly playing defense, and feeling controlled by force like I have no choice.

I didn’t maintain my high school friendships and sometimes a vivid memory — driving at sunset and singing at the top of our lungs, playing hide and seek in the local shopping centre, truth or dare in a parked car by the beach — will hit me like a freight train and I’ll have no one to reminisce with.

Part I. God, I am speaking to you from a place that looks suspiciously like heaven if heaven were designed by someone who misunderstood restraint. The clouds here wear silk. The angels smoke memory like opium. And I I kneel in the middle of it all, a man stitched together from contradictions and longing. I have sinned, or so they tell me. Not with violence, not with greed, but with the soft catastrophe of loving men the way poets love their own ruin. I prayed, once, with the desperation of a chandelier begging not to fall. I asked you to unmake me, to sand down the edges of my desire until I became smooth, acceptable, holy in the way pamphlets define holiness. But every morning I woke up still myself a man whose heart beats in the direction of other men, a compass that refuses to point north. I tried to change. God, I tried with the theatrics of a saint auditioning for martyrdom. I hurt people along the way women who mistook my gentleness for promise, men who mistook my fear for rejection, myself most of all. I bruised my own soul with the elegance of a velvet whip, punishing myself for a crime I never committed.
