If I had a nickel for every time a romantic lead on a worldwide popular TV show invited their love interest to “My Cottage” and it turned out to be a small mansion, I’d have two nickels in the past two months… Which isn’t much, but still more than I was expecting.

Chat to her for 5 minutes and then tell her she has an incredible rack and that you’re shallow and would love to take her on a date about it. Make eye contact while you do it. I dare you.

… This was ostensibly a Jokey Little Post, but I genuinely do believe that to undo a lifetime of internalised homophobia, bisexual women and lesbians can afford to dial it up, and probably should.

Me at sapphic events and house parties, deploying some fuckass line that no self respecting straight man would dare touch in the year of our lord 2026:

Two hour return trip via public transport to pick up a Marketplace find:

I’m going on an ✨adventure✨

Two hours stuck in traffic to pick up a Marketplace find:

I’m about to start scalping people.

Me getting all my work admin done on public transport because I focus best in a moving vehicle: ADHD whomst?

The unfortunate soul sitting behind me: … is that bitch admiring her own nudes right now

You will learn more about the state of a town/city/nation by riding the public bus or train for a day with your headphones out, than from any amount of doomscrolling.

Full immersion slice of life TV for the not-as-low-as-it-should-be cost of NZ$5.

You literally could not pay me to wear headphones on the bus. The eavesdropping opportunities are simply too good.

About to undertake a long-ass bus trip to pick up a monitor stand from Marketplace, so you know what time it is.

Damn it, *** whilst reductive

I will absolutely also accept yuri. Less of a status quo challenge since women’s rugby is a lot more chill with queer people than men’s rugby is, but on the flipside there are some absolutely gorgeous IRL queer love stories in the Black Ferns & beyond that deserve to be told ❤️

#aotearoa #nz #rugby

A lot of people call Aotearoa New Zealand the Canada of the Southern Hemisphere, which while reductive & not always a compliment given our shared colonial history etc, COULD be made true with some state funded home grown organic rugby yaoi 👀

NZ on Air, I am looking at you. Lock in.

PS It galls me to tag australia but they’re also having summer right now, so this is probably relatable content.

I spent this entire past week fucking my wife, doing bush walks, writing sapphic smut, swimming in the ocean and going on dates with girls (barely pausing to do the dishes). So far ‘25-‘26 has been the Summer of All Time.

Our synchronised “aaaaaay” is absolutely sending me. Btw I fucking love my city.

I have some exciting projects coming up next year where I get to really lean
into being a wordy little hyperfixation freak who loves drilling into things.
Comforting to know there are still parts of the internet where that is
algorithmically rewarded 🥰

I’m having a great time on
Tumblr because all my most popular posts are long, passionate & wordy. I forgot how much fun social media is when I don't have to try to be aesthetic, unbothered & minimal in order to reach an audience!

Oh shit, the next full-season rewatch wil KILL ME, re-meeting those boys knowing the men they become and their mutual devotion.

(which, yeah, I knew from the books, but now it's made flesh)

But now I can whisper to them, it'll all turn out great for boring and asshole alike. #HeatedRivalry

Thank the cosmos that I am off work until 1/5 because I genuinely may need that long to process and digest and reflect and attempt to fuckin' recover from [gesticulates wildly] all of this emotional wreckage and unstoppable queer joy.

#HeatedRivalry

I still can't believe that these callow little doofuses we met a month ago have, a mere 8.5 years later, now taken their place among the greatest screen romance duos of all time.

a trip to the boy aquarium I was going to take a week off but then Heated Rivalry finished and my brain was too full of thoughts. If you’re an extremely online person (and it’s hard to...

I went to the cottage and came back convinced that we need shows like Heated Rivalry more than ever. "Sometimes the most radical thing you can do is to have a good time on purpose."

Thanks @carlylane.bsky.social & @readingtheend.bsky.social for their posts.

Appreciation post for the Christmas treat that is going through an octogenarian’s bathroom cupboards & finding vintage antihistamines.

Boughs of Anthony Joshua holly about to deck the Jake Paul halls

I can't stop laughing at this Tumblr post because 1) homosexual Chernobyl, but also 2) look at lil' Hayden going after Cliff Marleau who is holding him back like Bugs Bunny holding Elmer Fudd back by his forehead

This has been the cost of the closet for as long as queer people have lived under the radar. Partners get injured, or die, and the love of their life isn’t “family” enough to be in the room. In that moment, Ilya understands so much more about what’s at stake.

If Ilya was Shane’s acknowledged partner, he would be given information immediately and supported to follow Shane to the hospital. Instead, he drifts backwards on his skates, all alone in an arena where the only person who understands why he *needs* to know is unconscious.

“Is he okay? Fucking tell me!”
“Get to your bench, Rozanov. I’m not going to tell you again.”

There are a million reasons why Heated Rivalry’s concussion scene works, but what hit me the hardest is that it emphasises one of the biggest costs of being closeted: Not being considered Next of Kin.
