Happy Sunday dearest readers! The sun is still rising, Anya is sleeping on an open windowsill, Alexei is on the floor with his little feeties in the air, and we are content. I just discovered this show, Rosemary and Thyme, which is a lesbian British crime drama, I think. I mean, the two lady detectives live together and bicker and care about each other and fight crime and don’t have husbands. Lesbians, right?

Anyway, here’s some cute news from the week, I hope you also saw some lesbians!

+ Ofelia Fernández is the 19 year old abortion activist running for office in the Buenos Aires legislature.

Fernández belongs to Frente de Todos (Front for All), a leftist political coalition whose most visible face is former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. Kirchner, now a senator, is running for vice president to Alberto Fernández; the ticket is expected to defeat unpopular President Mauricio Macri. (None of the Fernándezes are related.)

In Buenos Aires, if Frente de Todos matches the 30 percent support it received in the August primaries, Ofelia Fernández would comfortably win a seat in the legislature.

+ Ghetto Sage is Noname’s new music group, featuring herself, Saba, and Smino.

+ The French National Assembly approves IVF for single women and non-straight folks.

+ “The Daughters” and San Fran’s lesbian history.

+ How working in a women’s prison changed this woman’s feminism.

Working in prison messed up my ideas of what feminism should be. It didn’t invalidate the ideas I had learned and fought for, it just disrupted the clean lines, leaving me with unresolved tensions and fewer opinions. I went into prison thinking that I would be able to use feminism to help empower women, and to reform a system. Instead I met women who taught me about feminism, and saw myself change instead.

+ Why Women Kill is a feminist manifesto.

+ This gym is all about empowering queer and trans folks.

+ A “thank you” to the queer latinx representation on TV by Priscilla Bloom.

+ The Brits said “cluck off” Chick-fil-a and now they’re closing they’re only UK store.

+ Club Scum, NYC’s newest punk and drag club night.

+ Kellogg Company said “gay rights!”

+ A nonbinary teen crowned homecoming queen after he lost the title his first three years in high school! 😭

+ Hello, yes, have you seen Brittany Howard’s Tiny Desk?

Wow, what a week, you know? And next week has the potential to be just as good! All you gotta do is try a little bit, play a little bit, love on yourself and your pals a little bit. We got this.
