I spent over an hour today day-dreaming on Zillow, which is a very on-the-nose reminder of this SNL sketch:
Congratulations on making it through the week! It’s almost the weekend! You are almost there! Keep going!

Yesterday, President Biden Marked Equal Pay Day with an Event Featuring Soccer Star Megan Rapinoe. In addition to being my dreamboat, Rapinoe and the USWNT have been leading the charge for women athletes to be paid the same amount as men athletes. #EqualPayForEqualPlay

Did I include the gif so everyone could see and appreciate how hot Rapinoe looks in a suit? Yes. Yes, I did.

The Best Player in Women’s College Basketball History at Every Jersey Number. From Heather: “There are more lesbians on this list than the annual OUT 100 list by a mile. Also, you can’t really argue with Dawn Staley beating out Tamkia Catchings, but I kind of want to, even though I know I’d be wrong.” (sports!)

Political Snacks
Yep. Here’s Why the Filibuster Is a Jim Crow Relic.
I THINK this qualifies as a political snack?

Confused on the difference between sea punk and mermaidcore. Mermaid core seems pink-er, with more shells and with some mom on vacation energy?
I was about to say that mermaidcore sounds like something my 7 year old would be very into, but it definitely has some ‘mom on vacation’ energy too.
Mermaidcore is 100% how my mother forced me to dress during our 1999 family vacation to Hawaii.
Mermaid core being official feels like something we have known about forever that the strait community is just now figuring out. Under water sea sirens that lure annoying male sailors to their death….and the is a new thing? On a related to note…is vacation mommi a thing in sapphic communities? Is it similar to BBQ dad? Need more info on Vacay Mommi.
https://develop.autostraddle.com/mamma-mia-here-we-go-again-is-the-mommiest-movie-of-the-summer-427149/ I would argue that vacation mommi is very much a thing. This article about Mamma Mia doesn’t formally talk about vacation mommi. But I think it gives you idea of some possible vacation mommi vibez.
Today I saw a post on tumblr of people shipping (pun intended) the ship that’s stuck in the Suez canal with the actual Suez canal. Is that sea punk or mermaid core or shipping core or something else?
Unless there is fashion and lifestyle aesthetic based Suez canalxship stuck in Suez Canal (which honestly I would love to see it if there was)Then No.
There actually is a “get the look” meme already XD

Okay Suez Canal core is officially a thing now
“Hill Home Nap Dress”, are they referring to Netflix’s The Haunting Of Hill House?
I was also wondering but apparently it’s this style of dress : https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/the-nap-dress-best-styles
Basically a loose cotton dress with some shirring on the chest, made for napping in ?
I can’t believe “nap dress” is actually considered a separate category. Every dress is a nap dress to me at this point in lockdown.
Positive news from the Netherlands: the first trans person has been elected as a member of parliament last week! Her name is Lisa van Ginneken, D66 party (progressive neo-liberal).
We are also celebraring 20 years since the first gay marriages took place, on april 1st, which is pretty damn awesome. And they’re putting a rainbow flag on the cathedral tower (highest point of my city) to celebrate. (Also on city hall. But I like the tower best!)
It’s Tamika, not Tamkia, Catchings :)
Rapinoe juggling a soccer ball in a suit at the White House is quite something
Thanks for the filibuster article. It’s crazy to me how almost everything I thought I knew about the filibuster came from watching Mr Smith Goes to Washington and West Wing. And it’s mostly wrong.
