532 Watched Swapped and honestly, such a great movie. I don’t think why it’s on Netflix and not in the cinema

It bothers me so much both on a personal & professional level that some people have weaponized therapy speak to excuse their behavior or the behavior of others. Not everything is a boundary. Not everyone is a narcissist. Attachment styles aren’t fixed, they’re meant to change. Neurodivergence exists on a spectrum, having special interests isn’t the sole basis of neurodivergence. Relationships work because people want them to. They don’t work when they don’t (assuming consent and agency of course). Holding someone accountable is different than punishing someone.

ADHD themed : I need some advice. I’ve just been diagnosed yesterday- not a huge surprise, but I’m a bit confused. It explains a lot, and in the mean time I’m scared to hope too much on a treatment or on a general category that encapsulates many realities, and to discover I’m still hopeless lol I wonder to what extend you fellow diagnosed people that maybe are reading me were helped by the therapy. Did you have any treatment? Do you think the treatment was decisive or was the cognitive therapy more helpful ? When did you start to see a change in your life? So many questions 🤯 If some of you a willing to share, here or in private it would help ! Love !

My favourite flowers have always been Boronia’s, since I was very small. We used to see them on bushwalks and then my parents started growing them in our garden. I remember being so taken by all the variations in shapes and colours and the way most of them only have 4 petals. I’ll always love you Boronia.

I am so over this broken ankle. I have so many artistic endeavors I want to do, and having to keep my leg elevated is really fucking up my style.

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. ✨

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 ??

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

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.

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.

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…

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.
