One of THE BEST covers of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs”. Sadly, it’s as relevant today as it was back in 1970, or 2005, when the Dresden Dolls covered it. The world is TRULY ruled by Tiny Idiot Kings with, but truthful, honest art & the binding power of love, connection & communal healing makes it all worth it. Any thoughts on this stunning live performance? Feel free to drop a line

After six months of building this from the ground up, today is my first day of filming. I’ve produced and directed many projects before, but this is the first one I’ve developed from scratch, written, executive produced, and directed. Walking onto set this morning, my home for the next 14 weeks, I’m feeling everything at once. Grateful, nervous, proud. It all feels a little surreal. The industry (at the moment at least) is far from stable and incredibly chaotic. I’m just thankful that I’ve been able to build something real out of this mess and am excited for what’s next. ✨

How are we zhuzhing our queer park hangs? After a social spring cleaning, it is time to take your new LGBTQ+ community into the sunlight. While a standard picnic is a great start, upgrading your park session is how you turn a new match into a real friend. The best outdoor hangs are about shared activities that allow you to express yourself and create new memories. If you’re one for whimsy, start with cyanotype sun-printing. All you need is sun-sensitive paper and some local wildflowers to create blue-toned art together in real time. If you prefer lighthearted competition, look toward Scandinavian lawn games like Mölkky or even dare fate with a round of Uno. They are easy to learn and keep the conversation flowing while you play. For a final touch, try a color-coded grazing board where every member brings a snack matching a specific shade. It creates a high-effort aesthetic for the group with very little individual stress. Get hyper specific with the Collective Interests feature on your profile to find members who share your love for the outdoors or creative hobbies. By moving the conversation from the app to the grass, you are building networks that last well beyond the season.

being so far away and not being able to feel the presence of your person is a torture that should be illegal :(

Living in big cities, you start to notice the cycles. The restaurant you love—the one tied to so many good memories—closes. The neighbor you used to see every day moves away. A close friend leaves for another country. In Berlin, this feels constant. Life here is always in motion—shifting, evolving, never quite settling. And then there are the coincidences. In a city of constant change and millions of souls, you still find yourself crossing paths with the one person you hoped not to see. One of those moments life throws at you without explanation. Thanks for the good memories 🖤

Have you all watched the Devil Wears Prada 2 yet? I LIKED IT! It works well as a sequel and I believe it can as well stand alone on its own. But I can’t help thinking of all the loose ends left at the end…

Trying on my first swim briefs and liking it made me realize I have some healing to do, both with myself (like why not before?) but also with anyone I’ve ever judged for wearing a pair 🤦‍♂️. I’m sorry.

Is this a safe space to say that I consider the Victoria chase scene from twilight new moon, the one with Hearing Damage by Thom York, one of the greatest moments in cinema? Or ??

Is anyone else feeling lonely in their fake gay job? While being a freelance designer or writer or vibe director looks cool in a portfolio, the reality of the creative grind in 2026 is often just you, a laptop, and a very quiet apartment. Whether your professional life involves high level branding or just sending endless emails, the isolation of remote work is a real hurdle. We are all creating and turning looks with nobody there around to enjoy it with. Collective has leagues of astute creatives and artists joining every day. We now have a space where members can find collaborators to build something special or just a work wife to keep them sane. Instead of staring at a blinking cursor alone, use the app to find your professional soulmates. The location features on Collective make it easy to see which other creatives are nearby and looking to trade a lonely morning for a collaborative afternoon at a local cafe or gallery. If you are ready to find a partner for your next project or a coffee break pal, remember to set your intentions to Friends when you follow someone. Use the location settings on your profile to see which other creative members are working in your neighborhood.

“Ever wonder why the 'L' comes first in LGBTQIA+? It’s a tribute to the lesbians who were on the frontlines during the AIDS crisis, fighting for the lives of gay men when so many others turned their backs. While governments ignored the epidemic and the world looked away, lesbian activists organized care, raised funds, and fiercely advocated for those suffering. They became nurses, friends, and chosen family when hospitals refused treatment and biological families walked away. The 'L' coming first is more than an acronym—it's a reminder of the love, strength, and solidarity that saved countless lives.” insta@ mattcullen
