realised that Make Me Feel is a music video about Janelle Monáe effortlessly landing both Tessa Thompson and Nate Wonder whereas How Far Will We Take It is a music video about Francois Arnaud disastrously fumbling Noah Cyrus and Orville Peck

The Eaton fires destroyed a youth care facility my friend worked at. They had no time to pack, and everything is lost. Please help support them if you can. These children and teen were ALREADY vulnerable before the fires. www.gofundme.com/f/provide-ai...

we had a great 8 years of it being acceptable to be publicly queer but the right tapped into their hysteria and are trying to push us back decades. this is why the left warned of relying on rainbow capitalism because their support was about profit above all else. the solution is for us to not hide
