An additional layer that reared its ugly head this week is — what happens when parts of your identity are represented at the expense of others? In a world where people of color are starved for content, I should be thrilled that Black Lightning exists. I am. I should be happy that a Black lesbian bulletproof superhero is on TV. I am.

But I’m tired of settling for scraps. I exist. I’m a whole ass queer ass Black ass woman who walks through this world worrying which part of my identity is going to offend someone first. Will a man be threatened by my vagina? Will a white cop want to end me because I’m Black? Will a MAGA stan scream at me because I’m wearing rainbows (spoiler: this one actually happened to me)?

+ Delta deleted a bunch of lesbianism from Booksmart, but they’ve put it back in.

+ Queen Latifah will star in the Equalizer reboot!

+ You can stream Selena’s last concert on Amazon Prime.

+ Ellen will receive the Carol Burnette Lifetime Achievement Award from the Golden Globes.

+ Young M.A. is on Mr. Robot, who knew!

+ A first look at Shrill‘s second season.

+ Singapore will be the backdrop for the “high-flying lesbian rom-com Handsome Stewardess.”

+ I know, I know, Kristen Stewart was very fun on last week’s SNL, but Kate McKinnon’s Elizabeth Warren cold open stole the show for me.
