The family that lives above me is having a birthday party for their late son who would have been 27 today. They gave me a heads up that they’d be playing his favorite music all night.
RIP and Happy Bday, kid. You were clearly well loved and you had horrible taste in music.
It’s interesting to see parents of small children in the comments pretending they are a protected minority class being hatefully excluded by this bar when the only reason they are parents is because they chose to be.
Child free spaces are not an example of bigotry.

This take misunderstands the concept of the show. Unlike American Idol, which - at least initially - was about finding and fostering new talent, The Voice has always been a brand extension for the judges.
Music culture was better when we had more of an anti-sellout mentality. The extreme emphasis on charts and sales is BORING. This isn’t the stock market! Shut up about numbers and tell me why your favorite artist moves you!
Went to a picnic with my core friend group tonight. My straight boyfriend got up and hugged me when I got there. I scratched his back a bit during the hug and asked if it was pull day. He said yes and thanked me for noticing.
Still got it.
I wonder how many potentially great connections get missed because of our inability to get over ourselves and double text. If you want a connection, make it clear. Follow up if you don’t get a response. If that scares someone off it was never going to work anyway.
I met this guy 5 weeks ago…we texted for a few days and i invited him out for dinner. He went complete radio silence after that and then randomly yesterday text me and was like ‘oh I thought I responded to this, how are you?’ Sis…
2015 doesn’t seem like that long ago until I pull up photos from back then. My last year in my 20s and my last year as a performer. I’ve created such a full life since then and I move through the world with much more self-assurance but I still miss him sometimes.
Muscle daddy with the tanning addiction was on the rooftop again this afternoon. I noticed him looking over at me a few times so I worked up the courage to say hi. We ended up talking for at least 30 minutes.
Ran into my ex today walking off an airplane. I’d spent a fair amount of energy the past five years dreading the day I’d eventually run into him. Well, it happened and it was a non-event. I just said “oh hi, your hair got long” and we kept walking.
“Straight boyfriend” is kinda like “work wife.” You’re not really dating or married but you provide mutual support as if you are in certain contexts. He’s a good friend and we joke about it. Not that deep.
A local gay followed me and dropped into my comments tonight trying to flirt. One look at his profile and I knew he was headed for the block list.
Anti-trans gay men do not have a shot at getting in my pants. I have no desire for your ideas of “ideal masculinity.” Please leave.

I’m so mad. Like…he’s taking non-consensual photos of these men having sex and posting it online!
Do they have grounds to sue over this or does their potential public indency charge prevent that?
Called out of work yesterday due to my asthma acting up and wound up with a 100 degree fever that lasted until about 4am. I’ve still got a headache and I’m exhausted but wow does my hair look good.
Always disappointing when your hopes for a guy don’t pan out, but I can’t imagine a kinder way to be let down. The communication is clear. No guess work. No insults or slammed doors. It’s a perfect expectation-setting response.
Dropping an unsolicited dick pic in the comments of a stranger’s post is psychotic behavior.
And yes, stranger with the dick pics on my last selfie, this is about you.
Self-timer struggle trying to make a new profile picture ft my bff Cumberbatch in the background and the hair that I trimmed myself using a straight razor like a lunatic rockstar.
Met a cute Gen Z twink on an airport shuttle last week. We chatted a bit and then said bye at the airport. 3 minutes later I had an IG follow request from him.
2023 was one of those big transition years. Finally made a solid group of Philly friends, bought a condo, and allowed myself to fall in love for the first time since 2018. The last item there didn’t stick but it was cool to learn I could still do it.
Honestly? Yes. I’ve worked really hard to get to a relatively stable place in life. I’ve got so many stories to tell and a healthy curiosity about other people. Oh and I’m cute and a good kisser.
I think I just might be a fucking catch.
Gay people (who went to school for musical theater in the mid-2000s) are like “she saved my life” and it’s just Marla Mindelle doing “Colors of the Wind”
Anytime someone looks shocked when I say I’m 37 and tells me they wouldn’t have placed me above 28, I die a little. Go meet more people above 30 that aren’t your parents. I’m begging.
