Went to my first gaymer night in Boston and won second place in Smash 🥹

A year of mirror selfies 🤳🏻

I beat Hades II for Christmas ☠️

I got up earlier than usual to go to the gym and I’m so zooted after that I rode the bus about fifteen stops after my stop 😵‍💫

Ok but why does doxy pep taste like that? Can we get a berry fruit punch flavor scenario or are we destined to be swallowing puke flavored pills until eternity?

Blue Christmas

There were some young LGBTQties at my holiday party and they saw my Camp poster and asked me what it was so obviously devolved into a YouTube rabbit hole of all things Camp - I love teaching the ancient texts

They stopped this train to ask who was smoking weed - truly wild

The levels of clocked are higher than they have ever been before

Me? I’ll be just fine.

Boston is so cold rn the entire hookup ecosystem has been frozen

On Tuesday I had a date with Allan, he was really boring. Wednesday OFF. Thursday, I met up with Robert for gay karaoke. He’s great, but I think I like his friendship more than anything. Friday I hung out with Zach. We have good sexual chemistry, but he’s like a gen z edge lord or something.

Christmas on the Common

Meet Me in St Louis sparked some Mixed Reviews in our #JudyGarland episode between @trannawintour.bsky.social, @lrendon.bsky.social & @shhhitsgavin.bsky.social! Follow the links for the full #podcast discussion! 🍎: tiny.cc/TMRAppleJG 🟢: tiny.cc/TMRSpotifyJG 📺: patreon.com/themixedreviews

Elder woman had her card declined at the store so she whipped out literal stacks of cash to pay, just a full baller move

Some of my band kid greatest hits cuz I’m thankful for music in my life

Gobble bobble

My first time in New York City was as drum major for my high school marching band 20 years ago.

We as a society don’t talk enough about Bachelorette 👏

Coat check line after the function absolutely going wild in Boston

If you think Nicole did anything interesting in that Sunset revival, I’m sorry, but you have bad taste

A guy who I’m trying to let down gently texted me “I know you like me” and I’m like babe…I don’t even remember you name 🥴

Work drag

The dorkiest think about this man are these hugely successful franchise films, meanwhile I’m watching as many Judy Garland films as I can WE ARE NOT THE SAME

Bode cord jackets unfortunately trigger me

On my hinge profile I ask people to tell me their karaoke song and I am just shocked at how many boring people are out here willing to admit I Want it That Way is their go-to. Grow a personality!

There was a drunk gay in the bathroom who saw me and said: “Are you like a polidoodle or something?” I told him I didn’t know what his costume was either. “Have you seen Squid Game?” I have not. So we just made out for a second and then he left. I love being gay!

Up for a whirl?

A weekend in San Antonio

I changed my pants three times and put on a last minute cardigan, god help me on this date

I booked a workout class for 9:30, but then woke up at 9:17 so I guess my return to the gym is postponed

Out now on our The Mixed Reviews Patreon, @lrendon.bsky.social got a chance to see the new movie If I Had Legs I’d Kick You at IFFBOSTON, and here’s what he thought about it! Join to listen: patreon.com/themixedrevi...

My mom getting creative with the English language: “It just bottles my mind”

Seeing discourse from movie people who are saying the Spielberg West Side Story is bad/not as good as the original and as someone who loves the original, I think that take basically boils down to racism tbh

Ok I’m rewatching Signs and forgot how banging the score is

A Boston man just called me wicked sexy, I’ve made it

Date-a-thon update: Robert was great. Matt was ok, but the vibe was weird, he told me he was ex-orthodox and hated learning languages, which is just a weird thing to say. Adeep was really fun, but felt like girlfriend vibes, I hope we can hang again. Kevin, also great, lots in common.

Excited to announce that I’m watching Battleship and it’s already so bad lmao

Tonight I’m going out with Robert, tomorrow I’m meeting Matt, Monday I have a date with Nadeem, Tuesday and Wednesday I’m out of town, Thursday I’m hanging with Kevin, and Friday I’ve got a date with Andrew 🤘🏼

Sometimes I’ll see a Hinge profile where someone has answered a prompt in such a confusing way. One man in response to “One thing I want to know about you” replied “honesty.” 🤔🤔🤔

Just saw an old dad type guy rip a line of coke off the metal railing in a T station

Had a really nice hookup that ended with him giving me his discount code to Crocs lol

There is a level of contempt for being gay from the gays in Boston that I truly have just never experienced before. It’s one thing to have a preference for success and masculinity, but it feels like every profile on every app here goes out of their way to put down anyone who enjoys being a fag

I don’t know what flavor of Christians just asked me if I’d like to go to church on Sunday, but I am sorry that bust out laughing and yelled NO at you guys

The T having tap to pay out of service at a subway station and forcing me to buy a Charlie card feels illegal

You ever have a really good night and just think damn, I needed that…nay, I deserved that!

Going on dates just to see different neighborhoods in Boston 🤷🏻‍♂️

I had an excellent açaí bowl after this

Dominant bottom energy just scrambles my brain and makes me confused

We don’t talk enough about how good nectarines are tbh
