Posted a Dana Scully edit on IG then my memories from 8 years ago was me posting about Dana Scully being my dream girl. Which, I think we should all commend my consistency actually.

Did Sniffies sell out? The news of Match Group investing $100 million in Sniffies, with a future buyout option, follows a familiar pattern. We saw this with Hinge: a social space is absorbed by a corporate giant prioritizing profit over member enjoyment. Grindr, a public company with a $2.5 billion market cap, continues to increase ads. Collective stands as a defiant alternative. It is 100% independent and owned by a queer team building a friendlier way for the community to connect. It is a sanctuary built to protect members from the commodification of connections and the sanitization of queer spaces. Collective is different because it never sells data and shows no ads. Your identity is not a commodity. Collective is a David in a world of Goliaths. Unlike apps that use predatory algorithms to gatekeep matches, your feed is shaped by who you follow and the content you love, not a boardroom trying to maximize swipe fatigue. Collective’s mission is to provide an authentic community for LGBTQ+ people. It offers optional paid features for those who want more, but no member should have to pay to exist in a safe space. Collective is a community first and a sanctuary always.

I find it easier to be kinder and lenient toward gay men who are struggling to find success in their adult years than it is toward straight men. Like gay men, we have an obstacle always no matter what the background is. Straight men, what are your excuses?

Should we be watching Eurovision this year? The 70th Eurovision in Vienna is proving to be the most fractured moment in the contest’s history. As the final approaches, a crucial question remains: is the slogan ‘United by Music’ still accurate? The debate centers on the decision by the European Broadcasting Union to include Israel in the 2026 competition. This choice has led to an unprecedented boycott, with broadcasters from Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Iceland, and Spain officially withdrawing. These organizations have cited the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, stating it unconscionable to broadcast the event. Critics and human rights groups have questioned why Russia was suspended in 2022 while the same rules have not been applied here, describing it as a blatant double standard This tension has placed pressure on LGBTQ+ artists who often see Eurovision as a sanctuary. We have seen 2024 winner Nemo return their trophy in protest, while other queer performers face the choice of whether to code messages of peace in their slot or withdraw. Even the voting system has been altered following concerns over coordinated influence operations. So, should we even be watching?

Another long distance lover found a boy in their own town. I’m very happy for him, truely, he is such a beautiful person and deserves all the romance and love. But oh it’s still so so so bittersweet 😮‍💨❤️‍🩹

So far I’ve been able to draw for 5-10 minutes without feeling tired, the longest I’ve drawn when I’m on some kind of a flow was for one hour. For playwriting I’ve been able to write 30 minutes to an hours worth of dialogue. Sewing I’ve only been able to do 5 - 10 minutes. I’m still nowhere near as productive as I used to be and I hate it so much… But it’s like going back to the gym after not going for so long (yet ANOTHER thing I need to do again), it takes time to find the joy through the frustration. Hooray for burnout, and only just now figuring out a much healthier way of working. Better late than never. 😔 Whinging is over, I’m gonna try reading a book now.

Stop keeping the Collective lore to yourself. If you found a creative partner or a work wife on the app, it is time to spill the details. Leave a comment or a private comment below, we wanna hear all about it ;)

realizing that im starting a new chapter in my life is very stressful and relieving, i didnt know it will hit me this intense because i always wanted to make this move, at the same time the sadness is eating me up even tho im very happy and excited, everything is so scary again with all these waves of weakness and being strong but i guess i just have to go with the flow?
