Can you remember the first time you met your best girlfriend? Personally, this kind of close female friendship has been one of the most comforting, unwavering, and deep loves I’ve experienced. Perhaps the ultimate ‘real’ love story. I think you always know the moment it commences – that point where you lock eyes over an absolutely certified agreement of opinion, or when a bout of mild hysteria ensues over an in-joke. You decide, as the warm glow of sisterly love spreads over you, that this one human, out of all the billions out there populating our planet, is for you. And in that moment it’s just good to be alive, making friends. The world needs more relationships like this. The world needs more girlfriends. ~ Rosamund Pike interview
"There's a lot to process and unpack regarding the recent Orlando mass shooting. My husband is from Cuba and very active in the Latin American LGBT scene in Toronto, so it really hit close to home for us. The personal stories of suffering and loss from the victims and their families were painful to hear. The grief of the mothers of the victims really brought me to tears. In terms of the shooter, the psychology and motivation are very complex. It doesn't help that extreme elements of the Islamic (and Christian) religion spew hatred against homosexuals, making many of those who are both queer and religious tormented and conflicted about it." ~ Bruce LaBruce interview

If you close your eyes and imagine a setting fit for a study in beauty, children scavenging through a landfill site aren’t the obvious recall – but that’s exactly why photographer and artist Nick Waplington’s latest book, Patriarch’s Wardrobe, is so special, serving as a reminder for us to seek out beauty in the most hopeless of places. ~ Nick Waplington interview
It’s best known in international hipster circles as the grimy counter-culture hub of Europe, but that sort of 'understanding' of Hackney glosses over the fact that in the London borough the further east from Shoreditch you go, the realer and realer shit gets. ~ James Floyd interview
I wonder what it’s been like confronting her womanhood while simultaneously being publicly scrutinized and “papped,” in Mia’s own words, at “nine in the morning when you’re buying milk.” ~ Mia Goth interview
“I really think you’ve got to fail, man,” he says, as the waiter approaches and our time draws to a close. “Fail big. Because the only way you’re gonna succeed in an interesting way is doing something wacko. I remember when I was growing up… Succeeding in the way that mainstream society tells you to… Fuck that. Just go and do something different, man–be whatever.” ~ James Floyd interview
