I applied for a new internal role at work. Which feels kind of like changing rooms in the same house, but also like moving into a part of the building where they keep the good snacks and take you a bit more seriously. Applying was a mix of “I know I can do this” and […]
There was a time in my life where I lived in a throuple.Two guys who had been together forever, or at least it felt like it. They had the history, the rhythm, the shorthand. And then there was me, the third. The newest piece of the puzzle. And for a while, it worked.We cooked together. […]
I was in a situationship for almost three years.Three years of not dating someone, but still planning weekends together. Still texting daily. Still knowing exactly how they like their eggs. Still wondering if this was finally the moment they’d choose me… properly. They never did. And the wild part? That’s not even the only time […]
This week, I’m not unpacking a deep thought or having a quiet existential crisis. Instead, I’m telling a story. One of those “this could only happen to me” moments that has imprinted itself onto the very fabric of my soul. Let’s rewind. It was a Thursday night. A “friend” had invited me over to “hang […]
Father’s Day this year hits me with a mix of emotions. This morning, scrolling Instagram, my feed was full of gay dads, and honestly? It made me so happy. Whether it’s couples who’ve adopted, dads who’ve gone through surrogacy, gay men who’ve donated to lesbian couples, or men who lived a past life as a […]
I want the real thing.The big love.The “talk about nothing for hours, know each other’s coffee order, kiss me on the forehead when I’m overthinking” kind of love. But here’s the problem:I’m amazing at the beginning.Flirty. Curious. Engaged. I can give great text.I know how to start something, I just never seem to follow it […]
Every year, on the last Friday in August, Australians unite in purple, not for fashion, but for a cause. Wear It Purple Day is all about fostering safe, supportive, and inclusive environments for LGBTQIA+ young people. It’s a visual and vocal reminder that they are seen, valued, and not alone. AFL and a Hyper-Masculine Hangover […]
Sydney is out to be seen.Melbourne is out to see what happens. A night out in Sydney is a production.There’s a fresh fade, a coordinated look, someone in head-to-toe Dion Lee pretending it’s “just something I threw on.” We arrive in curated cliques, do the rounds, and sip our drinks with good posture, just in […]
Sydney’s not a city, it’s a group chat with 2 degrees of separation and too many shared stories. You meet someone at a party and within 5 minutes, someone else is like, “Oh! Didn’t he hook up with your ex’s housemate’s situationship?”And the answer is probably yes. The overlap is wild.You go on one date […]
Growing up in Orange, my family had a nightly ritual. At 7pm sharp, the TV flicked on, and without fail we were transported to Summer Bay. Home & Away wasn’t just a show, it was a staple, a kind of family glue. Among the familiar faces, Irene always stood out. She wasn’t just a character; […]
