  1. I hate watched season 1 of The White Lotus and swore I wouldn’t watch the next season, but, big sigh, anything for Aubrey!! 😍 Hoping she’ll have some queer scenes despite her character having a husband.

  2. A masquerade on Batwoman, oh goody! Calling it now, someone will not be able to recognize someone else due to approximately 10% of their face being covered.

  3. twitter was all a-flutter over grey’s anatomy in a ‘wait this was still on?’ kind of way so apparently my toxic trait is that i still watch it live every thursday

  4. One of my favourite episodes of television is season 2’s Isn’t It Romantic from the Golden Girls. It’s such a beautiful and respectful episode about a lesbian woman mourning the loss of her wife. Rose is so sweet and respectful to Jean. And of course, it contains the classic lesbian vs lebanese joke. Blanche being offended that Jean isn’t into her will never stop being funny.
