Something extremely humbling is realizing that you get to decide what the difference between “irreconcilable” and “indifferent” is.

I keep telling people to watch Ravenous (1999) because the fucking weirdness of it had an odly profound impact on me but everyone thinks I’m joking when I try and explain that it’s a cannibalism western with subtly homoerotic undertones. Like I’m being SO incredibly serious watch that shit it is SO WEIRD (positive). Genuinely loved it so much and I’ve yet to meet someone who has heard of it for some reason.

Some nights I lie awake Picturing your face in my mind Seeing you smiling back at me Some nights I lie awake Imagining your touch Feeling your arms around my waist Some nights I lie awake Smelling your sweet scent Wishing I wasn’t imagining When I finally give into sleep I continue to imagine you and me Together always In the morning when I wake And my mind is filled with numbers, reports Addresses, complaints, and other people’s Imaginings My heart carries you with me So that when it is time for me to Once again lie awake, my mind Returns to you Filled with all the imaginings Of our immeasurable tomorrows For all the things that are and will be As long as I continue to imagine you and me Imagining a time when there is no imagining I am content with thoughts of us Until we are together at last Imagining no more For @ard_493 🐺🇬🇧 I love you ❤️

I am so so so tired of seeing people talk about Ari’s body, concern or not, on IG right now. It’s disgusting how people are justifying their parasocial relationship and behavior (aka no longer supporting her work) because of an ED she manages on her own. WOMEN’S BODIES ARE NOT UP FOR DEBATE OR CONVERSATION— thank u, next

Are sports becoming as queer as we want? Everyone's obsessed with the French Open right now, and honestly, it’s about time. Between the red clay and the high stakes, it’s hard not to think about that final match in Challengers being some of the best sex ever seen on screen. With the Heated Rivalry series fueling the fire, sports are finally as queer as we’ve always wanted them to be. Even though Joao Lucas Reis da Silva was eliminated in the qualifying rounds on May 20, he still made history as the first out man to play French Open qualifying. While we wait for more out men to break through the main draw, queer women like Daria Kasatkina and doubles pro Demi Schuurs are holding it down. Plus, Naomi Osaka is basically turning the court into her own archival fashion show with her custom kits. Is our whole message of friendship and community on Collective not hitting? Find yourself a friendly rival instead. You need someone to push your buttons and force your hand to be the better tennis player. Whether you’re there for the deuce or just the advantage, finding a partner to play with is a win-win situation.

Have you ever felt like you’ve got imposter syndrome in your career? Everything I know as a gardener has been self taught or passed down through generations in my family I’ve been growing since I can remember for more than 30 years now, my work speaks for itself but recently someone online asked what qualifications I had and suddenly it threw me because I don’t have a piece of paper that backs up my 30 years experience.

So we’re just never having good straight horror again? Good. Cannes reviews for 'Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma' are in, and it’s the trans sapphic slasher decadence we’ve been waiting for. Jane Schoenbrun strikes again with eerie surrealism, starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson (yes, complete with a southern drawl). It’s trippy, sexy, and has those necessary comedy tinges. You can take the girl out of Hacks, but you clearly can’t take the Hacks out of the girl. The film follows a director trying to reignite a slasher franchise by seeking out the original star, all while unreservedly dissecting desire. The in-universe slasher, a genderfluid HVAC-wearing, Little Death played by Jack Haven is also praised for a moving performance despite their very meta existence. With the release coming up on August 7, it is time to start organizing a cinema trip. Search for Women and Non-Binaray people on Collective, trust, they’ll be rabid to go to this movie. Plan the trip to the cinema, this surreal, sexy, scary film will be best auited for the big screen ;)

At Times We Fight The hardest truth Is telling you how it feels To make you notice When will you realize the we fight To learn from each other To grow And one day to understand. When will it be enough For you to realize In the heat of the moment Its isn’t the anger that’s felt But the shear resilience to give up. Its the main focus To want to sort it out And for you to see I choose to grow in these pains To match vigour with fortitude.

Hi! Im Ollie and I’m a non-binary silly cryptid who is also is on the Poly + Demi-ace spectrum. I have a long distance Ace relationship with my amazing non binary partner on the east coast, who is also poly. Just wanna say I’m not looking for hook ups. Literally just looking for friends, and no opposed to things becoming more….but honestly just trying to find other fun people who enjoys music, board games, being silly, deep conversations, worldly food, art, adventures and doesn’t mind watching queer or Asian shows with me all with subtitles lol.

Have we seen the new Kylie doc? The notoriously private Kylie Minogue is finally letting everyone in with her new Netflix documentary. It’s a lot to take in, seeing her look back on such a massive career and get so emotional about the journey. It isn’t just about the hits; it’s about her unbelievable strength. She finally opens up about the second cancer diagnosis she faced in 2021, showing a side of her life she kept completely hidden from the public until now. From her Australian roots to becoming a global icon, the film is a masterclass in staying power. Every era is represented in its full glory. You’ve got the bubblegum 80s, that gritty 90s indie phase we’re all obsessed with, and the Fever years that changed pop music forever. Seeing her talk through these moments is a full on ritual for her leagues of fans. She serves as an inspiration not just to the superstars who followed her, but to anyone who’s had to rebuild themselves. On top of watching the doc, dare we organise a classic gay guy Kylie video night? Try adding your favourite music artists or genre on your Collective profile. It’ll help when you're matching with your new queer friends.
