one thing that frustrates me about going to uni for art (and specifically fashion) is that i have to cycle through ideas and concepts way too quickly for my taste idk, i think that expecting “established fashion house” levels of work from students (most working alone) and giving them a tiny fraction of the time it took *a big brand* to work on it is just setting us up failure and burnout

Is anyone going to Michaels for fabric? Been buying online but recently the colors are not matching and theres no joanns anymore… Heard Michaels bought up a bunch of stuff from joanns, but ive also heard that walmart now carries more fabric. Any input?

Now is the time for a social spring cleaning Spring cleaning usually involves clearing out closets, but your social life might be due for a reset as well. Many of us are experiencing a specific kind of exhaustion from Big Tech feeds that prioritize influencers over actual connection. It is time to move away from mindless scrolling, swipe fatigue and toward a social life that actually fulfills you. This spring, clear the social clutter and find the queer people that will yum your yum. Try leaning into your hobbies as a way to find your tribe. Finding people through shared interests is the most reliable way to build a community. Collective was built as a healthy, friendlier alternative to toxic social media precisely for this reason. It is a space designed for meeting new people and building real networks. Being intentional with who you hang out with is a form of self-care. Use the app to find more queer friends who match your current energy. Set your intentions and find that new, exciting circle to explore the city with. By clearing out the digital noise, you make space for the genuine connections that matter.

So do ya’ll actually use the “friends” or “date” option when following someone? I know it’s not a contract, but of course I have to chat before I consider one of those.

Today I chose to put my two weeks notice in at my Starbucks job that has been sucking my joy and making me miserable. I don’t have anything set to take its place, financially, but I know I’ll get there. Maybe now the other jobs I do that I love will now really take off.

HI QUEER Without you, the world is bland. WE need you here with us. Be visible. Be present. You have a uniqueness within you no hetero possesses. Your presence is more important than you know. You simply existing is comforting to all other queers. Whether you’re a barista, a nurse, a retail worker, an uber driver, musician, teacher, sanitation worker, etc. When a queer person sees you simply existing… they know they belong here too. I love you. You’re doing everything right, I promise.🏳️‍🌈

you're a 10/10 because you care about people. you're a 20/10 because you show up for other people. you're a 30/10 because you listen without judgment. you're a 40/10 because you're grateful for the little things. you're a 50/10 because you make people smile. you're a 60/10 because you cheer for others success. you're a 70/10 because you help people with any expectations. you're a 80/10 because you check on people. you're a 90/10 because you make people feel safe. you're a 100/10 because you're becoming someone your younger self would be proud of.

As a queer person born and raised in a country where gay people are arrested and executed, I never understood fear in love. If I could overcome the fear of losing my life over love, how can you be scared of simple commitment?
