Welcome to my BSky account! NYC-er. Millennial. Commentator. Neurodivergent. I drink (coffee) and I know things. Giving myself back to the written word. Black, queer, and trans lives will *always* matter. He/him/his. 🏳️‍🌈
Nostalgia is powerful. So is growth.

#QueerasFolk (US) debuted 25 years ago this December.

Tomorrow on @medium.com, I dive into my complicated, evolving relationship with the show -- and why rewatching it today feels harder than ever.

Physical media? In 2025? Why, yes!

This is just *some* of my collection. Anyone else buy physical media nowadays?

[3/end] With this perspective in mind, I decided to write about it -- not to drag her, but maybe understand her better.

My latest essay: "Bandaids Can’t Heal Confidence," coming tomorrow to @medium.com.

Let's turn this page together. 💜

[3/end] Tomorrow, we're diving deep into Hilary’s bravery and honesty.

She said she wouldn't return to music until she had something to say... and she's saying a lot. And we need to listen.

See you tomorrow. 💜

[2] Teen stars dating grown men. Tabloids calling it “romance.” Everyone looking the other way.

“Mature” revisits a part of an era that many have buried. Having lived this in a way, it changed the way I hear the song completely.

[1]⭐️Coming to @medium.com

Hilary Duff’s new song, “Mature,” is a bop… but it also opened a can of worms I don’t think anyone expected.

Let’s just say the 2000s weren’t nearly as “innocent” as we remember.
