No shade to the IG/tik tok fashion girls but the Twitter fashion girls are engaging with fashion in a completely different perspective. It’s archival, it’s researched based, it’s critically engaging with the work, live commentary on red carpets etc. all with a side of satire/wit The fact that this platform hasn’t zoned in on fashion partnerships like other social channels is beyond me. I think a part of it is, a lot of fashion voices on here aren’t in it for the visual exposure. They don’t tend to center themselves in their content..

I’m taking a break from writing and watching #TheCourtshipNBC and my god i have thoughts! First, how & why are concept dating shows still being green-lit? Like it’s a genre that is still going strong and I just want you know why? #TheCourtshipNBC

I love Miss Sohee, like LOVE! But i hate that her recent artisanal collection is supported and tied to Dolc* & Gabb*n* 🤮 it’s giving pr stunt on their end and i hate that! I love her work so much but seeing them attach themselves to her is gross

Today marks 40 years since the first cases of HIV surfaced. We lost a generation of our Black queer foremothers & fathers and subsequently parts of our oral history due to the disgusting, mishandling of this virus. I say it all the time but as a Black POZ man living now, I always can’t help but to think of Patrick Kelly, Willie Smith and all the Black & Brown men and women who’s lives were cut short, of all the unmarked graves, of the stories taken from us..

Black barbershops are a cesspool of ignorance, misogyny, homophobia, toxic masculinity, political incorrectness.. a place for cis black men to talk shop and be problematic and as a socially conscious black gay man I refuse support them any further!! Why are gay men such a hot topic for cis black men? I’m at the barbershop and they were discussing this beauty/body waxing place next door and how they wish they could be a fly on the wall (which is predatory and disgusting in its self)

Not to be that guy (because i talked about these type of people the other day) but i truly feel sorry for this generation and their music award shows.. like where’s the fashion, the iconic music performances, the pop culture cross over moments. It truly is a musical era of mediocrity. Taylor Swift, Camilla Cabellos, Shawn MWhoever, bad bunny
