As a queer tattooer on LONG Island I have found it incredibly difficult to to breakthrough to true tattoo collectors and especially gay men! I have mostly tattooed ladies and I love being with the girls AND I would love to expand my clientele and meet some cool gay dudes! 🏝️ 🌈 🌞 Can anyone share this for me? Help spread the word that im here 👋

I don’t really understand what drives guys to start a conversation- getting on the hot side, then disappearing, deleting or blocking. Are they after some pictures? I dunno, I thought this platform was different …

Am I the only one who gets teary-eyed at demonstrations? There is something so deeply moving about seeing so many people come together, standing side by side, fighting for something larger than themselves

Unpopular opinion: I actually love ending things on bad terms. I think I need that. It’s obviously so much easier to move on if the last thing I remember between us is that I want nothing to do with you…

2026 is putting us through our paces, and now more than ever we need our friends and connection. For Mental Health Awareness Month, Collective is spreading the message - connection is a form of medical care. The loneliness epidemic has made it clear that isolation is a significant health risk. And, maintaining social health takes intention and care. Clinical research suggests that social fitness—the practice of maintaining regular, meaningful connections—is just as essential to your well-being as physical exercise. It is the active training of our sense of belonging. We need our circle of friends to train our senses of humour and our party tricks. Another aspect is checking in on your circle of friends. Collective members and allies foster real-world networks that sustain us through the highs and lows. Checking in on your friends is the most effective way to combat the drain of the modern social landscape. If the struggle becomes more than you can manage alone, Collective offers a direct path to help. You can find resources and a helpline website by clicking the Mental Health Support button in your profile settings. We are stronger when we are connected.

I love it when I take a moment and look around and realize the version of me a year ago wouldn’t believe where I’m at now… still moving through the unknown, but now there is just so much more gratitude instead of fear. Every day isn’t easy, but every day we have the choice to still move forward with love & grace🤍🫂

I’ve fallen out with literally all of my old friends throughout my 20s and I can’t say I miss a single one tbh…and as far as our our fond memories together, they remain where they belong: in the past.

The best way to be an ally in 2026 is being truly unbothered Oh woe. Yet another viral smooch. A sassy little greeting between Stephen Colbert and Pedro Pascal is, indeed iconic, but also offers a masterclass in comfortable allyship. By participating in a moment of affection with humor and ease, Colbert demonstrates that the best support is often the most unbothered and cheeky. Performative gestures and statements are replaced by jumping in on the humor and having a laugh. And, with powerful trans ally Pedro Pascal, you get an allyship double decker. Research into intergroup contact theory suggests that these positive, integrated interactions are a primary driver of community resilience. So, yes, allies do make us stronger. Collective is a space that celebrates its queer members while also showing love to the allies. Allyship is not a one way street; it is a shared atmosphere of respect. We want to share this space with the allies that we love who lead with sincerity and comfort. So, yes, you can invite your ally friends to join. Just be sure they get the bit ;)

Music really is the closest thing to time travel we have. Some songs make me feel like my past, present and future selves are all hearing it at once and it literally transcends time. This perfect mix of Nostalgia, euphoria and bliss…

We are taking IDAHOBIT, holding space with that … and creating a safe space. International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia is a vital moment for awareness and the internal reality of being queer. While the queer community celebrates how far we’ve come, we must also acknowledge the toll of armouring against homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. Research into minority stress shows LGBTQ+ people often live with chronically elevated cortisol, a physical result of constant vigilance in spaces not built for us. We become so used to the weight of our defenses that we only notice the pressure when we enter a queer sanctuary and finally get to take it off. Collective is creating safe space for recovery. A space where the baseline stress of being a minority is replaced by the relief of being among your fellow minority. Not everyone has had the time to build armor. Young queers or those in isolation often face the world without a shield of community. Reach out, invite those who are still navigating their journey alone, help them find the protection they need to thrive. Mental Health Support is always available in your Profile section.
