  1. New character? :)

    I wish I could ‘not have a crush’. Celeb crushes are silly but I’ve had one for 5 years and it made me realise a lot about myself (some of it too adult to share here but basically that I’m trans masculine and bi) and now I’m going to have to give that crush up… :(

  2. I just moved from Wyoming, where I thought I’d never crush on anyone again, to a city with lots of queer people. Boy oh boy is this an apt piece of art.

  3. I work at a cafe and despite myself I have a big huge crush on one of my customers. I feel like a 12 year old around her! What do?!

  4. I did not know I was looking for the phrase “crush drought” until now, thank you so much 😁
