YOU CAN'T CLAIM TO BE AN ALTERNATIVE TO GRINDR BUT THEN DO EVERYTHING EXACTLY THE SAME. where are the fat people? where are the queer people? where are the trans people? why does everyone look like an Abercrombie paper bag
A new alternative dating app to Grindr called Goose launches today.
Founded by Derek Chadwick, the platform is a non-hookup focused app centered on “dating, making friends & community.”
INSTRUCTIONS: this tweet will serve as a giant Get Well card, walk-off, and flower station for Miss J Alexander. leave a get well wish, a prayer for healing, flowers, or the baddest walk you've ever seen (even if it's his!).
I'll start:
Miss J Alexander, doesn't realize he actually taught a LOT of us how to walk THAT walk.
We want to thank him for it. Thank you to him for being the authentic, charismatic, and empathetic presence that America's Next Top Model needed. We can't imagine how much is in his heart that he won't let leave his lips out of respect... and it's another reason he deserves his flowers. I know personally, my whole little raggedy friend group's walk changed up after copying his tips and still hit 25 years later. You couldn't tell us NUFFIN once we figured out how to walk in heels.
Before watching the show, he was one of the first real exposures my friends and I had to someone so unapologetically fabulous, empowered, & comically 'messy'. It was a joy watching him teach and it's been a joy seeing he STILL has that magic. He was a source of effervescence on ANTM then and even now, despite struggle nothing has changed. We should admire it amongst the stark contrast of what we've seen and learned.
My greatest wish for him is that he will continue to heal, restore to full capacity, and roll onto a runway then stomp the hell out of someone's Fashion Week. That he will receive new blessings & opportunities that suit his needs and his wildest dreams, for that kindness he showed in quiet moments we don't even know about. And that all that gorgeous hair of his will grow to the tips of his heels and naturally blow in the wind for no reason at all.
We love you & thank you, Miss J.
P.S. Remember... sometimes the universe keeps darkness away from our light, to protect it from everything that was quietly stealing it away. We can't wait to see you stomp, soon. ❤️
Cameron Kasky was in Parkland the day a crazed gunman blew away 17 of his classmates and teachers. Today he's running for Congress in NY's 12th because, among other things, he doesn't want Palestinian youth to be blown away by the IDF with bullets and bombs sent by the US. Pay attention.
Had a great time on #BigBrotherUnlocked, & I got an amazing behind-the-scenes tour! Many thanks, especially to @TheTayMack who invited me on, not to mention @DerrickL, @chelsiebaham, @britney_haynes and the incredibly kind and amazing crew. Watch it tonight on CBS/Paramount.
