I’m Hunter and my content focuses on nostalgia (primarily 90s/2000s) from the perspective of a gay millennial with a degree in International Politics.

I’m trying to move off TikTok so if any of this interests you, hit the follow! I post videos twice daily.

I went with @macro-scopic.bsky.social to Lore during Atlanta Pride and got to meet Jewels Sparkles from Season 17 of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Not only was she gorgeous, she was so kind (she struck conversation with everyone) and her performance was an absolute 10.

Fuck Paramount. All I can hope is that they rebuff ANY bid.

Flo Milli performing Never Lose Me at Atlanta Pride 2025.

My very first concert moving to Atlanta in October 2022 was Flo Milli and Monaleo at Center Stage, so getting to see her again was so much fun!

GLSEN had Lizzie McGuire actress and pop star Hilary Duff star in their PSA to bring awareness to the harm that using “gay” as an insult causes. Its message is still applicable today.
