Hello beauties! How are you?? I’m filled with love after experiencing the beautiful wedding of my dear friend and former AS Writer, Audrey, to their perfect partner, Wynn, yesterday. I cried real tears, y’all. I’d never seen so many mullets and flashy blazers in one place! I love love! I love queer love!!!
And now, for the news.

Okay beauties, rest up, drink your water, take your meds, love on your friends. We’ve got this one weirdo life, let’s make it count! I will see you next week, after I have hopefully spent the majority of my Spring Break sleeping off this dang fever!!
I was hoping 420oldfatlesbians would make an appearance here !! 😍
OMG!!! My friends Zara and Abby are in that lesbian brides article!!! 😅💜 Check out their cheese business, Raclette Machine, in Salt Lake City!

I’m a bit confused by the “inconvenience men” link because that takes me to some conservative dude’s commentary on the feminist professor’s opinion piece, rather than the actual opinion piece.
Don’t give your clicks to the conservative dude! Read the opinion piece itself instead – https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/feminism/2019/02/how-play-patriarchy-chicken-why-i-refuse-move-out-way-men
Fixed, thank you!
Reminds me of the manslamming article from a few years back:

Holy crap, I’ve been playing Patriarchy Chicken for years! And now I find out it has a name – and that I’m not the only one doing it! Yes!
I didn’t know Lily James would be marrying a women and I love surprise lesbians!
Autocorrect made that women not woman and you know what, I’m going with that. Lily James can marry all the women and make me very happy doing so.
I spent a full month playing patriarchy chicken in NYC 2 years ago and I learned two things. 1) men will be completely befuddled as to how they have collided with someone and will make the funniest confused face 2) it hurts a lot to take that many body checks a day.
Don’t play patriarchy chicken on a crowded platform while carrying a hot beverage, kids, if you value your coat.
In all other cases, full steam aheadè
full steam ahead!*
