Those social media smear campaigns against women, especially queer women, laid the path to people celebrating the murder of a queer woman by a man in a uniform who called her a “fucking bitch” afterward. They unlocked the entitlement and rage to cheer gender-based violence from the online sidelines.

If you hear "closeted pro athletes have reached out to the cast/crew of Heated Rivalry" and your first instinct is to try to investigate who you think those athletes are, you are not a safe person or an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and cannot be trusted.

Seek help, losers!!

This is a great episode if you want to hear us have really difficult conversations about the kind of people who would WANT to Renfield a permachild vampire, the exploration of childhood queerness, and that time this movie kept me from killing myself.

Coming-of-age cinema comes in many forms!
NEW EP: LET THE RIGHT ONE IN (2008)

One of the greatest vampire films in cinema history doubles as one of the most beautiful examinations of the type of yearning for someone to understand you that only exists during adolescence. We've been 12 for a long time.

I already loved this movie, but as a depressed person @bjcolangelo.bsky.social and @harmonycolangelo.bsky.social 's conversation about it gave me reason to love it even more.
Tragic. Haunting. Beautiful. Here’s your reminder that this week we’re covering LET THE RIGHT ONE IN. Episode drops tomorrow!

Legacy media journalists' continuation of asking young talent wildly inappropriate questions under the guise of "lol i'm gay and we're having fun being camp on the carpet" is not okay and I'm getting really sick and tired of it.

"Heated Rivalry" being good for SEO means that I can use it as an excuse to talk about some of my other favorite projects from Jacob Tierney, like THE TROTSKY.

Imagine losing everything to war and still having to pay rent. Please give what you can to help my friend Sama'a.

My home was destroyed by the occupation, and now I am living in a rented place.

I need to secure $500 to pay the landlord — if I can’t, we will be evicted.

This amount means a safe roof and security for my children. If you can help… your support is life to us.

Shout out to the woman who yelled “Great start, big girl!” at me on my walk. Joke’s on you, I’m on this walk because I’m trying to produce serotonin because I’m depressed, not because I’m trying to lose weight!!

I have a scar from doing ✨lesbian activity✨ in a hotel bathtub and scraping a chunk off my tailbone skin with the faucet. Nothing sexier than having to lay face down like a wet dog on a hotel bed as she cleaned the blood from above my ass crack.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.
