Oh, you thought you nailed that interview? Just kidding. We even asked salary questions. But just wanted to call and say we’re turning you down because the straight of Hormuz. Yeah, that’s right. I said the straight of Hormuz. Even though we have nothing to do with crude oil. Even though we’re a design agency. Yeah. Suck my fat one. - to a bunch of Cucks

I love famous actors because like they’re some of the hottest people on the planet. Additionally, they’re all theatre kids. Truly beautiful to behold.

You should remember there are people in awe of the things you do.

I’ve been wanting to grow a big “stranded on an island” beard but I’m not actually stranded on any island so looking disheveled & unkempt for 6+ months to obtain the look never quite works for me…

I got nominated for at the NJ MODA Week for the EMERGING DESIGNER OF THE YEAR award 🥇 thank you to all who have voted for me so far—it means a lot 🥹 this journey has been a hard one but equally a beautiful experience. It is always good to be recognized for your hard work.

If all your exes had to form a girl group, what would their group name be—and what kind of music would they make?

RAYE’s new album, “This Music May Contain Hope.” is the best album I’ve heard in over a decade. I can’t remember the last time I listened to an entire album because I couldn’t stop listening. She’s an incredible storyteller! I hear Amy, Adele, Florence but also a sound that’s uniquely her (yet familiar); simultaneously 1926 and 2026. I can’t describe it. Obsessed.

So I noticed I always pace around the house while I’m on the phone… and got me curious as to why people do that… A search online brought these results: 1. The "Visual Void" Compensation 2. Cognitive Boosting 3. Emotional Regulation 4. Gestural Displacement “Fun Fact: This is also why many people find it easier to brainstorm while walking. The physical act of movement literally "unlocks" creative pathways in the brain.” Makes perfect sense to me… can you think of another reason?

hi hello lil gays <3 looking for new friends rn, especially local (& to go to pride with)! also looking for dates, but that’s besides the point for this post pros: kinda funny, shares 🍃, will probably cook for you & has great music taste imo, extremely leftist and very gay cons: will send 777 reels in one day if i have the time, will talk too much about anything & everything i’m passionate about, also will start singing mid-convo if something said triggers a lyric memory anyways hmu if we share interests & you don’t mind a bit of a night owl yapper :)

Voulez-vous [learn another language] avec moi? Learning a language on an app with a judgmental owl will only get you so far. While digital lessons help with the basics, real fluency in friendship happens when you put yourself out there and start spouting nonsense to native speakers. To truly understand a new culture, you need to learn how to flirt, dish the dirt, and navigate the slang that only the queer community uses. Whether you are thinking of moving to a new city or just want to break your social bubble, learning a language is a powerful creative challenge. It sparks new ideas for your work and gives you a fresh perspective to express yourself. Collective allows you to browse members in cities across the globe for free to find people who match your frequency and interests, or even teach you how to unpack familial trauma in their native tongue. By using the Location Search feature, you can find native speakers in your own city for a low stakes coffee and language swap. It turns a solitary task into a networking and connecting opportunity. Duo, we love you, but we will finally learn how to ‘pop pussy’ in Dutch and ‘slay the boots house down’ in Korean.

Went out for a wholesome little day trip and, unsurprisingly, came back with another piercing in a location not currently visible to the general public 😂 Think the dopamine and adrenaline spike also convinced me that a round trip across East Lancashire was a perfectly reasonable idea for a Sunday afternoon 🤣

A client at work told me my voice was calming and soothing and it took me off guard 🥲 it was easily the nicest thing I've ever heard, especially with sometimes being so self conscious about how I sound 😭

We always post the best of our lives online, however maybe it’s time for me to be a little more real, I am very grateful for all I have but life is not always as effortless as it looks, my health regularly limits what I am able to do and when it does I often go quiet online, for me gardening and being in my garden has been a retreat and a place of recovery, the past month has been incredibly challenging both mentally and physically, but I will be forever grateful to have my garden a place of tranquility

Idk I just think it’s wild how often I cry over just the overwhelming amount certain tv shows and movies mean to me. Like they just mean SO FUCKING much to who I am as a person and it is too overwhelming for me to ever explain. Like dr who, supernatural, return to oz, sucker punch etc etc. I would never accuse them of being the best things ever made but I just would not be me without them and that’s important I think. Fandom, obsession, conventions, collecting, I love being able to be obsessed with things that are probably stupid. Being a ‘nerd’ and a fan girl is the greatest gift.

Sit down, we need to talk … about the Met Gala! Met Monday is here and the fashion queers are in high gear. With the 2026 Met Gala theme announced as Costume Art, the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art transform for the dress code: Fashion Is Art. This year feels particularly legendary as Vogue welcomes Beyoncé back to the red carpet as a co-chair alongside Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour. What are we most excited for? Watching the Met Gala with friends? Appreciating the archival deep dives and avant-garde risks? The Met Gala shouldn’t be watched alone through snippets on social media. It should be watched with friends on the couch with wine alla ‘Gay Guy Music Video Night’ style. Whether you want to discuss the host committee featuring Sam Smith and Angela Bassett or debate the creative vision of Anthony Vaccarello and Zoë Kravitz, having a dedicated space for fashion lore makes the night better. Gather your creative tribe on Collective and pop those critic shades on. Let’s gather, comment below to find people who care about the Met Gala as much as you ;)
