Everyone on this website has told you to read Molly Ringwald’s New Yorker essay about growing up in John Hughes movies, but I’m gonna suggest it one last time. It’s really honestly perfect.

Bust says Hot and Bothered is your new favorite queer comedy web series.

In Kesha’s new video, she covers Janis Joplin’s “I Need a Woman to Love Me” and marries a real-life lesbian couple!

Sandra Oh’s new series, Killing Eve, has been confirmed gay by our own Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya. She’s working on a review for you! In the meantime, I highly recommend this interview in Vulture.

“One thing I will share with you — when I got the script for ‘Killing Eve,’ I remember I was walking around in Brooklyn and I was on my phone with my agent, Nancy. I was quickly scrolling down the script, and I can’t really tell you what I was looking for. So I’m like, ‘So Nancy, I don’t understand, what’s the part?’ And Nancy goes ‘Sweetheart, it’s Eve, it’s Eve.’ In that moment, I did not assume the offer was for Eve. I think about that moment a lot. Of just going, how deep have I internalized this? [So] many years of being seen [a certain way], it deeply, deeply, deeply affects us. It’s like, how does racism define your work? Oh my goodness, I didn’t even assume when being offered something that I would be one of the central storytellers. Why? And this is me talking, right? After being told to see things a certain way for decades, you realize, ‘Oh my god! They brainwashed me!’ I was brainwashed! So that was a revelation to me.”

In Jay-Z’s episode of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman, he opened up about his mom coming out to him.

“I made the song the next day,” he said. “I knew. But this was the first time we had the conversation. And the first time I heard her say she loved her partner. Like, ‘I feel like I love somebody.’ She said, ‘I feel like.’ She held that little bit back, still. She didn’t say, ‘I’m in love.’ She said, ‘I feel like I love someone.’ … I really cried. That’s a real story. I cried because I was so happy for her that she was free.”
