A 20 Year Old Teenage Girl

cause youre all WRONG!!!!! this post is sponsored by jonathan bailey as tim laughlin in fellow travelers which i personally believe is his FINAL FORM also tim is gay so thats a win. (this post is a joke i need people to watch fellow travelers tho)

“fellow travelers” is simply a masterpiece. never before has a show made me feel so much. jonathan bailey and matt bomer deliver incredible performances as hawk and tim, from their middle-aged to young selves.

not only does the show tackle mccarthyism and the red scare, but the impact of harvey milk, and the complex relationship between the red scare, the lavender scare, and the civil rights movement. i actually found myself researching some things i was completely unaware of.

one thing that stuck with me throughout the entire show was how these elements affected their ability to maintain healthy relationships with anyone—even their friends. when under the threat of being discovered, do you protect yourself, or stand for queer rights?

it’s such a stark contrast that is edited so well together in the show—the freeness with which queer individuals live in san francisco to the constant fear felt in dc.

"An organizational psychologist, Adam Grant, sent me a message saying, “It’s a masterful portrayal of superficiality masking depth.” Out of all the things I’ve heard, that is the thing I’m going to get printed on a T-shirt."

“I want to be with you.”

“Alright let’s go inside.”

“No, I want to be with you.”
