No Filter: Samira Wiley Is Here to Service Your Engine

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to discuss the latest in queer celebrity Instagram. The internet is still in an uproar over the [very likely very manufactured] revelation that Melanie Brown and Geri Halliwell totally did it while the Spice Girls were at the peak of their popularity! Some say it was a year-long affair, some say Geri is upset, some say that this news has derailed ticket sales for the tour (as though news of girls kissing each other has ever ruined literally anything in pop music). Who are we? Why are we here? Is Ariana Grande bisexual and would it matter even a little bit if she admitted she was? Can we all agree Ariana Grande is probably not a very good kisser?

I’ve never identified with Cameron Esposito more in my life.


Stephanie Beatriz emerged from the sea to attend the GLAAD Awards and I am here for it.

Tessa Thompson is a glittering masterpiece of a human person.


I find it comforting what an absolute dweeb Hayley Kiyoko is.
