Emotional support daddy. I post bad advice in a good voice. DJ. Delusional. Occasionally shirtless. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll need therapy.

Nobody’s falling for it anymore — except their donors, who still think bigotry is a family value.

Today’s Fucked Up Thought:
If hypocrisy was a currency, Congress would’ve ended the deficit decades ago.

TEXTUAL HEALING

Funny how the same people screaming “protect the children” are the ones cutting school budgets, banning books, and sneaking into gay bars after committee hearings.

Today’s Fucked Up Thought

Maybe hell isn’t fire. Maybe it’s just being stuck at a church potluck where everyone brings tuna casserole and lectures you about sin.

If you’re quoting Leviticus at gays, but your brunch order includes bacon and polyester, you’re not holy — you’re just a hypocrite with a bib.

Textual Healing: Religious edition.

Leviticus bans shrimp cocktails, mixed fabrics, trimming your beard, tattoos, and working Saturdays. Yet somehow, people only remember the verse they think lets them police your bedroom.

Let’s talk Identity crisis shall we?

Drew Gilbert @drewgilbert.bsky.social · 25d

Heavy Homo
Iron Maiden — The Number of the Beast (1982). Still iconic, still louder than your panic attacks.

Final Fucked Up Thought
“Happiness isn’t real, it’s just anxiety on mute.”

Drew Gilbert @drewgilbert.bsky.social · 25d

Textual Healing

If trauma had a gym, I’d be its personal trainer.

Queer Fear
Hellraiser (1987) — because nothing says “gay nightmare fuel” like leather, chains, and a guy who looks like your ex’s Dom.

Today’s Fucked Up Thought: If you can’t outrun your demons, at least teach them cardio.

Textual Healing
If life had content warnings, mine would be longer than the Bible.

Queer Fear: Descendent (2025) — because nothing says comfort like a timeline where the end is already scheduled.
Heavy Homo: Paradise Lost – “Lay a Wreath Upon the World” 🌑🎶

Bathroom at work. Pre-game abs check before the underwear party. HR would like a word. 🤷‍♂️😂🍑

🎸 Heavy Homo
Hopeless Grey — A Killer’s Confession. Dark, grinding, and way too on brand for your midweek spiral.

💀 Final Fucked Up Thought
Some people say “everything happens for a reason.” Yeah, the reason is usually you didn’t pay attention to the warning signs.

Drew Gilbert @drewgilbert.bsky.social · 28d

Textual Healing
Don’t worry, kiddo — I’m the glitch in your system you can’t uninstall.

👻 Queer Fear
Don’t Log Off (2025) — a digital horror that proves your laptop really is haunted, but by capitalism.

Final Fucked Up Thought 💀
You don’t actually heal from trauma. You just get better at pretending your scars are tattoos.

Drew Gilbert @drewgilbert.bsky.social · 29d

Queer Fear 🩸
Amityville: Where the Echo Goes — because apparently ghosts can’t take a hint either.

⸻

Heavy Homo 🎸
Castle Rat – Sun Song
A doom-drenched fantasy metal track that feels like getting seduced by a vampire LARP troupe in a moldy castle basement.

“Your dad never said it, so I did.”

“The only reason I’m still alive is because the universe enjoys hate-watching me like a bad reality show.”

K-pop Demon Hunters: Golden (Dirty Pop Deconstruction Pt. 2) ✨👹
Because one exorcism wasn’t enough—so we went back in and ripped it apart again. 💥🎶

God said, “let there be light.”
I said, “nah… let there be bass.” ⛓️🔥

Hear the full version tonight at Rich’s San Diego and tomorrow at Crush DC.
