This queer Black feminist sex positive pool party has shattered everything inside me.

Also: St. Vincent vibing with Metallica? Why not!

“Listen lil’ mama, you like shibari? Watch while I show you the ropes.”

“Queers around the world feel validated in their thirst and the kinship they feel with Janelle’s music and style.”

Plus, Sara Ramirez went to Florida and wore literal Daddy socks.

Sometimes letting a person be hot and funny and wear great outfits is all the politics you need.

Happy Gay Christmas!

Candace Parker on Celebrity Jeopardy, Kiersey Clemons and Alison Brie have gay vibes in their new movie, LSU’s new Seimone Augustus statue, and more!

Growing up, I looked to Monae as a Black femme musician whose art and existence challenged traditional definitions of Black womanhood.

Okay wait are the famous people just like, on summer vacation right now??

My thoughts on this photo of Tessa Thompson and this one of Melissa King…………also [REDACTED].

Also, King Princess remains undefeated at the tour photo dump!

Lynda Carter is here to remind you Wonder Woman is a bisexual icon, Margaret Cho shines in Fire Island, Doctor Strange is coming to Disney Plus, and more!

Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris are literally dedicated to ruining my life, the powerful lesbian energy radiating from a midday L Word reunion, and stars are just like us! They also take increasingly silly photos with their cats on their couches!

So look. At least half of this post is… uh…*counts* four images of Janelle Monáe. And then… a video. Of Janelle Monáe. I couldn’t pick! How was I supposed to choose?? In this economy?

Stacy London’s lil summer freckles, Amandla Stenberg teaches business, and I actually got sad the other day because I remembered that Gillian Anderson had a girlfriend in college and that girlfriend was not me.

Grimes says her next album will be a space opera about a lesbian A.I. romance? Nah. Also, behind the scenes of Batwoman season two, the search for Renee Montoya, the PLL reboot fills in its cast, why Fear Street is built around a queer love story, and more!

Well hello most glorious day, Happy Birthday Janelle Monáe!! Also, honestly, we don’t care if it’s sponson if Sarah Paulson and Niecy Nash are going to keep being this cute at it — and somehow Janet Mock personally hired the sun to bless her thigh.

Janelle Monáe and Tessa Thompson are baiting us for Democracy this Election Day… and I’m not mad at it? Also: Lots of good, thoughtful election reads that (mostly) won’t piss you off and concrete, actionable ways to distract yourself right now if you need it.

It’s been a long, hard summer: here’s a photo of Janelle Monáe’s new haircut + glasses just because! Also: Monáe is starring in the new “Gloria” movie coming to Amazon and here’s a first look; we have Niecy Nash’s wedding video; and so many links to read to carry you into the (almost) long weekend!
