It’s a beautiful autumn day outside, I’ve got some soup in the crock pot and a cat on my lap. I also made you this mid-week Pop Culture Fix!


+ Emily Ratajkowski has joined the trend of coming out on TikTok. She’s got one of those green velvet couches in her house, like Dani and Shay Mitchell, which she smirked about to the same bisexual stitchery as those queer pals who came before her. Most people probably know Emily Ratajkowski best as being a supermodel or Brad Pitt’s rumored girlfriend, or some kind of publishing industry drama that i did not follow because book Twitter is terrifying — but I personally know her as Gibby’s girlfriend, Tasha, on iCarly. I’m so excited to see how many other celebrities have copied Dani in purchasing a green gay couch! It’s like we’re caught up in a bisexual TikTok tornado! I love it even though I still don’t know how to use TikTok!
