Poetry shows us something about ourselves, and others, the world around us, and our collective queerness. In honor of ..read more

Billie Eilish came to some big revelations while working on her newest album Hit Me Hard and Soft last year. “I’ve been in love with girls for my whole life, but I just didn’t understand — until, last year, I realized I wanted my face in a vagina,” she told the Rolling Stone in a recent interview.

Swift’s songwriting is stunning and there are so many layers to unpack– but here are my first takes on the queerest moments on her new album: Guilty As S ..read more
