polyamory would not always fix the love triangle. sometimes it would make it much, much worse. but they should do it anyway

BADI, otherwise stylized as Bʌ́di (バディ), was a Japanese magazine for gay men that ran from 1994 to 2019. The magazine first started with illustrated covers, but as gay culture became stronger and men less afraid, they began gracing the covers as well. The magazine published a range of content from manga to life advice, fashion articles and sexual health advisories.

I personally find BADI one of the most beautiful and impactful gay magazines, and it's safe to say it's had a massive impact on gay visual culture. While I don't have a perfect archive that goes back to the early days, I have located all monthly issues of BADI from 2010 to 2019 and saved the covers to my hard drive. I will be scheduling them to post on my blog once a week. They will be tagged under #The BADI Archive.

This post will act as a helpful masterlist, and I hope you all enjoy the ride with me. If possible, I'd love to go back and collect vintage editions as well! Anyone who has any leads, please let me know.

this red-winged blackbird likes to hang out on the boardwalk in the native plants area of the NYBG and it followed me around yelling at me for several minutes while I was trying to observe the frogs and their tadpoles in the various ponds

This guy.

"only 90s kids remember-" wrong, if you're poor and/or rural enough, old tech and fashion doesn't just disappear when it stops being trendy. We had dial-up until 2012

immediately after an interaction: i have GOT to get more normal oh god i need to get more normal immediately i have to get more normal or they're going to hunt me down they're going to hunt me down and flay me for sport

during an interaction: and why not put a little spin on it? why not add some conversational zest?

I never thought I would be siding with the pope’s involvement in politics and cheering him on. I will say that.
