Hello tiny dancers! How are you? I hope your week has been weird and good in the perfect way. I’m doing pretty well. I was just talking to my mom and I told her that I’m having a really great semester and I realized that I meant it! I’m working hard, but doing things that feel important and challenging and interesting, and I hardly ever pay attention to the drama on Twitter. Life is good, ya’ll. I hope the same is true for you. Here’s some news to help your day get better!


All the News From A to Z

+ On the Vietnam version of The Bachelor (a show notorious for being loved by lesbians and queer folks), one contestant professed her love for another contestant!!! I love this story so much!

“I went into this competition to find love and I’ve found that love for myself, but it isn’t with you. It’s with someone else,” Minh Thu told Quoc Trung, the bachelor. She then ran towards another contestant who already received a rose, Truc Nhu and said, “Come home with me.”

Nhu gave back her rose and the two exited the rose ceremony.

But in another plot twist, according to Next Shark, “Truc Nhu ended up deciding to stay in the show after Quoc Trung had a heart-to-heart with her.”

+ Artist Tuesday Smillie creates a piece inspired by the trans folk in the 1973 Christopher Street Liberation March.
