Hi there, cats and kittens! I’ve been earnestly listening to a lot of Brandi Carlisle lately, which may mean my lesbianism has leveled up.
This week, Riese continued to bring us the queer lady history that we wish we’d learned in school — this time with couples!
Relevant to your interests: we started off the week with an Masculine of Center Roundtable from the team.
You probably don’t have enough pins.
This is smart and hopeful and I can’t remember the last time an album review made me cry: Well Damn, Kesha’s “Rainbow” Is a Complicated Reclamation of Pride and Strength.
Because she read the room, Laura’s here with some beer and wine popsicles to keep our summers going.
I will take all of these joggers in the curvy sizes, please. Thanks, Nora!
And then there were your comments!
