It’s Monday! The way you know it’s true is that you’re reading your Pop Culture Fix!
+ Well, the Oscars were this weekend, but not all of Hollywood was there. In fact, there was an entire party bus full of queer celebs — and honorary ones??? — driving around town singing Indigo Girls at the top of their lungs on a party bus. Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor (who, honestly, looked a little unsure if she wanted be surrounded by screaming drunk friends in a moving vehicle, which: same, my love), Abby Wambach and Glennon Doyle, Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne, Allison Janey and her belt, etc. Lots of dancing, lots of canoodling, probably they also took some time to scroll through Autostraddle’s Vapid Fluff archives, which are basically just this entire bus plus Janelle Monae and Kristen Stewart. I hope they had the most fun ever! I hope they do it again!

The BBC is supposed to be non political but they repeatedly show themselves to be aligned with the very right wing current government.
Exactly right. They apologised to JK Rowling because someone called her transphobic (which she is) and have let people get away with all sorts. The recent Gary Linekar situation is yet more proof of that!
Well, that is certainly a chaotic group of people.
I want to go on the record right now and say: I am not emotionally strong enough to handle an Allison Janney coming out arc at this time.
I’ll be strong enough for the two of us. LFG!
