With our gyms closed, lockdown is a chance for gay men to rethink narrow body ideals | Dejan...

The public male gaze largely absent, it could be time to get beyond socially reproduced standards of beauty

half of my timeline is gays not being able to stomach casting updates that don't feature conventionally attractive people, and the other half is gays being like "don't you DARE say 'gay men are still men'" lolllll

a win for representational / identity-based leadership will only get you so far: what is really needed are policies and programmes that materially impact constituants and that allow for resources and power to be redistributed to underserved communities. now keep them to account.

Martha Stewart shared photo seemingly dressed up as a homeless person for Halloween. She has since deleted the post.

Gonna let you all know rn this is among the best gay films ever made. It plays like if someone’s handed you their TikTok algorithm set to gay thirst traps, class disparity, mental health issues and just asked you to scroll it (complimentary) It’s best if you speak Spanish

"Because she is more interested in being a socialite than writing" think this aptly describes like 90% of current writers/cultural critics. desperate to be part of the zeitgeist rather than adequately critique it.

Because she is more interested in being a socialite than writing, Fran Lebowitz’s career fell off. To rationalize this, she made up a theory that AIDS specifically targeted the smart, cool gay guys. If you think about what this says about living elder gays, it’s really rancid.

it might come as a shock to those who are almost entirely dependent on external validation to plump up their self-esteem, but there are actually living breathing adults out there who aren't living in insecurity about how 'hot' they are or what other people think of them

london is a city that dares to ask the question: what if there was a world-class capital with bad weather, high cost of living, mediocre food and miserable people? nevertheless, it persists

"Young people are like: Please give me an alienating bullsh*t job! I just want to pay my bills!" In 2018, David Graeber published the book Bullsh*t Jobs: A Theory, arguing that capitalist economies have become “vast engines for producing nonsense” held up by hordes of soulless jobs offering meaningless work. Almost a decade on, the problem now is that there aren't even "bullsh*t jobs" available for young people to pay the bills and move out of their family home, argues @DaliaGebrial on Novara Live.
