If a person wears an outfit that challenges gender norms they’re probably not trying to push boundaries or make a statement, they’re most likely just tryna feel good. If you don’t like their outfit, keep it to yourself, the only thing that matters is if they feel happy wearing it

I went on a first date the other day, it went well, we stayed til the bar closed and then did that thing at the end of the date where you wanna kiss but you’re too awkward to initiate it. I eventually just said “ok this is silly, can I just kiss you?” He said no 💀

I just travelled two hours for a date and he stood me up. Literally stood on a train platform in the middle of nowhere like I’m the main character in some sad romantic comedy. Why are boys like this?

I often find it hard to engage with YA novels but really enjoyed this. It has cute characters, sparkling dialogue and a clever concept - about a gay teenager who wishes he could wake up straight, then does. It’s also sex positive and a gorgeous celebration of queer friendship! ❤️

I started and finished this today. It was fantastic. Calum McSwiggan thank you for writing such a beautifully queer book. I just wish I had something like this when I was younger ❤

I’ve struggled recently, but the books I’ve stumbled on in that time have felt serendipitous ❤️ In Eat, Gay, Love I saw a new world & Calum McSwiggan has reminded me that our home is in the people we are with & that it’s ok for us to rebuild or rediscover when we need to.

If I post this to my 1,000 followers on threads and my 72,000 followers on Elon’s broken bird app, which do you think will get more engagement? Pretty sure I already know the answer 👀
