11 years today since our fist date. This picture is from our first year together (and next to it, where we are today). It’s amazing what can happen. A whole life built because of one date. So lucky. ❤️

The tradition continues…

When you’ve had the 2025 holiday stomach bug for a week.

Fun fact. If you start the Season 1 finale of Heated Rivalry at 11:10:46 PM on New Year’s Eve, Ilya will say “your boyfriend is here” exactly at midnight and I think that’s neat. #heatedrivalry

Went to the cottage. I’m gonna need a minute. #heatedrivalry

Some Yuletide goofballin 🎄

FYC

everything bad except this

Episode 5 of Heated Rivalry ALL THE EMMYS.

just finished recording the next episode of new year's day and any time I get to watch @briggon.bsky.social and @andrewnowak29.bsky.social read my words, I just think of this

Trying to make that magic he’ll remember when he’s in my shoes someday. 🎄

Moisturize me.

The American President is one of my all-time favorite movies. And in light of today’s post from that truly grotesque figure currently inhabiting The White House, here’s a clip that wraps you in a golden-age-of-Hollywood-style hug, and makes you feel idealistic. Rob could do that sort of thing. 💗

You could feel who Rob Reiner was through his movies. They carried his humor, his optimism, and his faith in decency; equally there in his activism and public life. A devastating loss. This is horrifying. Rob Reiner was a good man.

We’ve been with the Nublar 6 since day one of Camp Cretaceous, and finishing Chaos Theory has us cryyyiiinnnggg. Watching them grow up and reach their final chapter like this. Superb. We love you Darius, Ben, Brooklynn, Kenji, Sammy, Yaz, and of course Bumpy. #chaostheory #campcretaceous

it’s exo the first snow season and I’m just like this with every video

Every time I rewatch NBC’s (2004) A Christmas Carol and Julian Ovenden pops up as Fred, something deep in my soul wakes up like “Ohh right. This man.” Also show me one adaptation of A Christmas Carol where Fred isn’t hot. You can’t.

Canada has really just given us so much.

Only FOUR DAYS LEFT to support Phantom Pulse on Kickstarter! This 90s rock audio drama tells the story of a band that can exorcise ghosts with their music - if you enjoy original music, compelling characters, and unique stories, please help! phantompulse.com

the tree is up!

This life is magic.

The accuracy?! I can’t believe how real this is it feels like state secrets. #heatedrivalry

Water bottle. Ad shoot shower and lockers. Shane’s investment apartment. These bare ass legs off the bed wide shots. Penthouse. PENTHOUSE. PENT. HOUSE. #heatedrivalry

omg concept photos from a long forgotten project that never came to be. but look at that beard 😯

It’s really special when something you poured heart and nerve into gets recognized like this. STAG DANCE just landed on Audible’s 20 Best Audiobooks of 2025. Endless gratitude to Torrey Peters for creating something so raw and unflinching, and to @prhaudio.bsky.social for bringing it to life. 🦌🐖

Popped a gummy and watched the Jonas Brothers Christmas movie and it’s a core memory now.

date day

LOVED Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. Haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. Everyone is fantastic in the film but Jacob Elordi is truly mesmerizing. He’s so completely stripped down to raw vulnerability, his performance is both so simple and so achingly deep.

also, help us get to our NEXT goal, which is 17k in 72 hours and which will involve me locking @briggon.bsky.social in a room and making him sign hundreds of guitar picks. which, by the way, was HIS (genuinely brilliant) idea. make him regret it

Sometimes the only way to face your ghosts…is to turn up the volume. 🎸 Meet Bremmer, my gay broody character in @laurenshippen.com’s Phantom Pulse. The Kickstarter is live today, and your support will help us make the first season 🤘🏻😝

Today marks 10 years since The Bright Sessions premiered. Lauren, this show, this cast and crew, and everyone who’s listened…you changed my life. Here’s to 10 years of The Bright Sessions! 💡💚

Trick or treat! 💀

Oak Glen 🍎🍏

Some candids the last couple of days 🫶

I hope it helped!! 😊

Most Valuable Player is out now on audiobook! Thank you so much to A.M Woody and PRH for trusting me with Cameron. I love him and I love this book so much! 🏈🚰

A warm sunny fall day with my boys and some nice cool 화채.

LA Day 1 was a dream. #seventeen

LA Day 1 Soundcheck #seventeen

Seventeen Day 1 LA #seventeen #svt #carat

Someday my son will see my digital footprint. So that’s neat.

We’re seeing Seventeen Day 1 LA. We have VIP sound check. I want all of the merch. I also need these sexy weird-ass K-pop men to ruin my life a little Thursday night. They have permission to make eye contact doing those Thunder arms. #SEVENTEEN

There’s a well known actor I had a really traumatic experience w/ recently. And they keep showing up in interviews on my algorithm and it’s sending me into a fight or flight response each time. Genuinely messed up about what happened and seeking therapy for it. PTSD for real.

Fall things.

I need XLOV to explode in the US. These divas are everything.

I just thought of the Dan Aykroyd show ‘Soul Man’. I remember loving it when I was a kid. But it only ran for one season apparently? It’s available on YouTube rn and I’m diving in. Anyone else remember it?

Relentless.

I like this one I shot with Travis Chantar. Burgundy & concrete.

Okay. This is where I’m currently at. Any other BOYS II PLANET star creators out there with thoughts? This is coming from a Taerae bias and Gunwook bias wrecker fanboy. #boys2planet

Episode 6 of Give Me Away S3 is out, and my character Darren is in the mix now. He’s part of a religious militia, embodying the combination of “good guy” warmth/loyalty with hate-fueled extremism; a disturbing echo of real-life toxic radicalized men. 🎧 Listen now wherever you get podcasts.
