  1. Alessi Rose- That Could Be Me: Alessi is going to be the new IT girl and blow up— I’m calling it now!

things that i’ve been super into lately that i need to share with you guys

  1. Been knee-deep in decorating my new place and recently purchased some prints from Drool and am absolutely obsessed! Such cool artwork made by and supporting real artists, and have really helped bring together our living room 

  2. My pride playlist this year is a love letter to masc lesbians

  3. Some summer style inspo I’ve been loving lately are oversized tailored shorts. I think they look so chic especially paired with loafers or ballet flats and a linen top. 

movies, tv shows, and actors on my radar right now

  1. Brokeback Mountain celebrated its 20 year anniversary and is back in theatre’s for a limited time! I’m going to go see it tonight and I cannot wait to bawl my eyes out. 

  2. The trailer for “SPLITSVILLE” starring Dakota Johnson, Adria Arjona, Kyle Marvin, and Angelo Covino is out now!

  3. Today is the last day for Emmy nominations voting, and I can’t wait to see the cast of Severance cross that stage soon.

ALL THINGS MUSIC

  1. The new EP from King Isis is good. Excited to see what a full record from them will sound like. 

  2. Like everyone, I love the OkLou album. “blade bird” feels awesome 

  3. I also love the music from Fusilier, he has a song called “Hello” - I think it’s incredible.

ALL THINGS INTERNET

ALL THINGS STYLE

  1. I recently bought a Rog Ally X - it's a handheld PC where you can play all these games. Even does triple A titles. I love it and it's been pretty inspiring playing games from small devs. That's been rad - people are really doing their thing. 

  2. I like these new shades I bought from this company called A better feeling. Aren't they cool? I feel like a little freaky alien boy. What's not to like? 

  3. Old time guitars. Every time I’m in LA I go there. It definitely influences my guitar style 🙂 

ALL THINGS REEL

SONG OF THE DAY

Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) - Sly and the Family Stone

 Don't freak out. Everything is going to be fine enough.... I think.
