Photographer, older brother to gaelen and the rest of you My debut solo exhibition Feminine Man is at the Finnish Museum of Photography April 26 - September 20 2026

If you envy someone I suggest spending more time with them. If you don’t have access to them spend more time with their body of work. This is for example how I healed my complex about Dakota Johnson. Now I’m a fan!

Ok my loves we’ve all seen too many of our own being isolated by someone and it’s quite upsetting. But there have been rare moments when someone has come into my life and treated me well in a way that makes me question the behavior I have been accepting from others around me

The culture right now is too live and let live. None of us know what we’re doing and we’re all doing it badly anyway so let’s pool our knowledge and take care of eachother

One thing you can do to support trans women is to loudly defend them when someone is complaining about them simply expressing their feelings. Guys - it’s ok to lightly embarrass your friend if they are not acting right towards women and the ripple affect on this is enormous

Whenever I get paid I love to send one of my friends a couple bucks to get a little treat! Maybe if they’re having a bad day or just to let them know I love them. We should normalize doing this more it’s such a wonderful thing to do for only the price of a matcha latte

One thing you can do to combat the erasure of trans men is to acknowledge us publicly in the same way you do privately 🩵☺️🫦

I was checking in on my brother earlier and seeing what’s up with him and his firefighting career and we got on one my favorite vibes where he talks shit about cops, navy seals etc

I love when guys ask me advice on how to get girls I’m like idk be kind but mostly be more gay?? Girls like guys who are gay but still desire them - I hope this helps

Do not let your vices replace your self care. Sometimes I’m reaching for my weed pen but what I really need is eye drops. Hitting the weedpen would have made having dry eyes more comfortable but so would eye drops.

Pay attention to the areas in which u excel and try to channel the energy you bring there to what ur weak spots. Eg if ur good at business and struggling socially perhaps ur too timid w ur friends. If ur rly good at social but not dating try approach ur dates/partners more how u r socially

Every day I have a conversation with myself that I’m not alone anymore and I have a community. If I feel lost it is usually fixed very quickly either by taking care of one of them or asking for care from one of them 💙🐭

In middle school I would wear boots with shorts and they would call me a weather confused slut but now everyone loves when I do this look and I rarely check the weather or call anyone back

For a time the ultimate luxury was being precious with myself I wouldn’t leave the house if I had even a single blemish but now I revel in the power of doing my whole day even with dried tears on my face and a violent email in my inbox

People talking to me abt my ‘thirst traps’ is such a litmus test for me like why does my self expression feel inherently sexual or wanting to you? Like pls get out of my trap you’re making me claustrophobic

Proof of transgender — girls mature faster than boys!!! If you don’t believe me date a trans man and a trans woman who are the same age and then get back to me

I’m always raging against the elite for adopting the traits of the working class but I do it to them too - for example I’m the most entitled poor person you’ll ever meet

If there’s even a small chance I’m one of the Jonas brothers I hope my estranged family can contact me I would like to be digitally added to camp rock and the family trust
