Hey everyone, I’d love to explain the NOBODY BELIEVES YOU love seat! The line “when you change ‘or’ to ‘and’, nobody believes you” is from a poem I wrote in high school about bisexual erasure I experienced from an ex-partner and others. 1/2pic.twitter.com/RoiD9u04Xs

Btw for those confused by the excerpt from the poem, the original full line is “it’s okay to love boys or girls, but when you change ‘or’ to ‘and’, nobody believes you”

I think your poem just single-handedly (ahem) launched the whole Ikea set into a whole other zone of the marketing atmosphere. They should pay you royalties.

That's a good point - I assume the couch was created by/with input from you, and not by claiming your work?

We must not be reading the same thing. Everything I've read has been saying how they need the "NOBODY BELIEVES YOU" pillow and how it's the most relatable thing of the collection.
