In this episode, I'm talking about the celebrities who've been vocal about Palestine and why we should continue to lift their voices up. From Kehlani's "Next 2 U" to Dua Lipa's years of consistent advocacy tied to her own family's history of displacement, to Macklemore's powerful speech at Ed Sheeran's concert and more.

I also dig into Melissa Barrera, who was dropped from Scream 7 over her social media posts and has spoken openly about being blacklisted from Hollywood since — and Angelina Jolie, whose two decades of humanitarian work collided with a very public rift with her own father.

This is my personal take on the artists using their platforms for something bigger than themselves, and why I think that takes real courage.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Did you know Noah Kahan almost gave up on music? In this quick episode, I’m talking about why it’s so important to keep going with the things you’re passionate about — even when the burnout is real. Sometimes, you have no idea what’s waiting for you just around the corner.

Don't support transphobia! It should be that simple, right?

More news is breaking about who's walking away from the Harry Potter universe: cast shifts on HBO's new series, iconic director Ally Pankiw turning down a directing job — but now, Rupert Grint is returning to Broadway as Ron Weasley in 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,' despite having stood with trans people after J.K. Rowling's continuous ant-trans remarks.

I'm talking about why it's important to say goodbye to the series, and what your money actually funds when you do support the franchise — including where J.K. Rowling has reportedly put some of her fortune. You can still love and appreciate Harry Potter for what it was, and the nostalgia it gives you, but you don't need to spend one more dollar on it.

In this episode, I’m remembering Hayden Panettiere — the actor and familiar face so many of us grew up watching. From Heroes and Nashville to becoming a mother and navigating postpartum depression, Hayden’s life has unfolded in front of the world. I’m looking back at her career, her rise to fame, motherhood, mental health, and the pressures of growing up in the public eye — while reflecting on why Hayden remains such a memorable part of so many of our childhoods.

Rest peacefully, Hayden. ❤️🪽

It sounds like a stereotype, but there’s actually a fascinating history behind the connection between queer women and their feline besties.

In this episode, I’m diving into how cats became symbols of independence and femininity, but also the heartbreaking story of how one man, religion, and centuries of superstition changed the way society saw them.

Grab you kitty, a cup of tea, and let's get into it xo

Talking, laughing, living...The L Word

It was revolutionary, messy, controversial, and incredibly important to queer representation. I truly want to thank Ilene Chaiken for creating a world filled with beautiful, complicated, deeply flawed characters who gave so many of us a chance to see ourselves on screen — even when they didn’t always get it right.

I am absolutely gushing over Girls Like Girls, the film co-written and directed by Lesbian Jesus herself, Hayley Kiyoko. In this episode, I'm diving into the movie scene by scene, sharing the moments that hit me the hardest and why this story resonated so deeply with me.

As a millennial, I saw so much of my younger self in Coley (Maya Da Costa) and her relationship with Sonya (Myra Molloy). Their story brought back so many memories of what it felt like to navigate first love, identity, and growing up queer. This film made me feel joyful, seen, nostalgic, and, at times, incredibly emotional.

If you haven't watched Girls Like Girls yet, I highly recommend seeing it first—then come back and join me as we unpack every moment together.

Content warning: This episode includes discussion of the film's depiction of suicide and mental health.

Oh, my heart. Let's talk about the beautiful Gia Carangi, who was widely considered by many to be the world's first supermodel.

Gia captivated the fashion world with her striking androgynous beauty and charisma. As an openly queer woman navigating the fashion industry in the late 1970s, she challenged beauty standards and left a lasting impact on generations of models who followed.

Despite her quick rise to fame, Gia was struggling internally with trauma, addiction, and ultimately the AIDS epidemic which tragically took her life on November 18, 1986.

I highly recommend watching HBO film Gia, starring Angelina Jolie. The movie talks about her influence on queer visibility, and the tragic circumstances that led to her death at just 26 years old.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of sexual abuse, addiction, drug use, HIV/AIDS, mental health struggles, and death.

Okay, so I had a full throwback moment listening to Believe by Justin Bieber and realized I was absolutely obsessed with JB in high school. Which got me thinking—is the Belieber-to-lesbian pipeline actually a thing?

I mean, obviously Biebs is insanely talented, but after his recent Coachella performance… tell me why the gays have Bieber fever all over again? I had to go into full investigator mode to figure out why.

Wow, what a week.

What started as a scandal on Summer House quickly turned into a much bigger conversation.

In this episode, I’m unpacking the situation involving Ciara Miller, West Wilson, and Amanda Batula — and why so many people are reacting so strongly to it.

We’re talking about hypersexualization of Black women and women of colour, the experience of being desired but not always chosen, and what it feels like to be “othered” in friendships, dating, and predominantly white spaces.

I briefly share my own perspective growing up in a small, mostly white town, and how moments like this on reality TV can reflect real-life dynamics that don’t always get named.

This isn't just a Bravo cheating scandal. It’s about who gets empathy, who gets labeled, and how race can quietly shape the way we experience relationships.

(Also: TEAM CIARA, always!)

A few minutes of movement each day can work wonders for your mental health, especially during the winter months, when snow, rain, and long hours indoors make it so easy to stay cozy. Unfortunately, that can also mean we aren't moving our bodies!

Daily movement is a reset for your mind, a break from screens, and a reminder to be present. Step outside and touch some grass friends! It'll do wonders xx

A short and sweet episode about my love for Hayley Kiyoko and how the Girls Like Girls music video became a defining moment for so many queer people when it came out in 2015.

I share my own feelings around the music video, and how watching it for the first time in 2015 (at 20 years old) had me reflecting on feelings I had for a friend back in high school.

PS: What a full-circle moment — Hayley Kiyoko’s directorial debut, the feature film adaptation of Girls Like Girls, hits theatres June 19. The gays are screaming.
