🄵 This Pride Month trend needs to be stopped

Choose your destiny: a trip to Japan, or join a run club? šŸ¤”

Happy newsletter Tuesday, and happy Pride Month to those who celebrate!

Ahhh, Pride Month, that magical time of the year when capitalist companies suddenly start using slang like ā€œyas queen skinny legend Versace boots the house downā€ and serving up every form of merchandise with a rainbow slapped on. Like, big thanks for the ā€œLove Is Loveā€ oven mitt, I guess? But seriously, Happy Pride to all our LGBTQ+ icons and certified legends šŸ’–šŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆ!

BTW, is it just me or has literally everyone been in Japan recently? Every time I open Instagram, it’s just stories and carousels about people’s trips to Japan. It reminds me of this viral tweet about everyone being sorted into different houses.

Me? I’m standing my ground like Harry Potter himself because I refuse to let the Sorting Hat put me into the ā€œRunningā€ group. Sorry, but I’m not falling for any run club propaganda! But if you’re getting sorted into the ā€œJapanā€ group, make sure to check out our very own Angeline’s article on a very useful convenience store hack, courtesy of our Japanese queen Rina Sawayama!

See you next week my Shaylas!

Q: Aussie queer actor Keiynan Lonsdale grew up in which Western Sydney suburb?

Sending love to the tall man who held the elevator for me while I ran for it, even though I was a solid 20 metres away! Looks like chivalry isn’t dead, it just wears a black Patagonia fleece vest, a shirt, a tie, and dress pants now. We got chatting on the way up and you said you’re really into podcasts. Can’t say the same for myself, but if we run into each other again, drop the links in my Insta DMs please?

Overheard this bloke in the pub on Friday, on the verge of tears, telling his mates about his recent breakup with his long-term girlfriend. ā€œShe just left so unexpectedly, I was in complete shock,ā€ he said. His mates gave each other side-eyes, until one of them said, ā€œBro…she told you she was going to be moving out 3 months agoā€¦ā€ The guy looked down and just started sobbing uncontrollably in public 😭.

My older coworker was in our building lobby, eyes squinted, whispering sheepishly into their phone. As I walked past, I heard them say ā€œJan, no, I am not joining the family Zoom call. Tell them I have diarrhoea. Just leave me alone so I can catch up on the latest season of MAFS!ā€
