Good morning, ladies and gentlequeers! Let me tell you what I’m dealing with this morning: Texas weather so cool that I didn’t sleep with the AC, a sweet chunky cat lying next to me in bed, the smell of eucalyptus candles, and the leftover scent of Pine-Sol in my kitchen. I am living a dream life this weekend, and I hope you are too.
All About Ellen
+ Ellen also set up the best meet up between the internet’s new favorite shofar-blowing rapper and the woman who inspired her, Missy Elliot. L’shana tova indeed!
Bikes, Bisexuals, and Bewitching
+ The kids are all right, and they took over Oakland Pride.

Have a phenomenal week! Drink water! Get in the sun for a little bit if you can! Smile at your friend–maybe even give them a hug if that’s your thing! I love you and can’t wait to share more good news with you next week. It’s my favorite thing!
Any news outlet that helps me keep up with Dolly is a news outlet that I support
I love Ellen so much, she’s a National treasure
This cool Texas weather is great, until it’s pouring rain when you get to work and in your hurry to get inside you trip, landing squarely in a huge puddle. This has been my Sunday so far
Hey Al(aina), seeing your profile pic always makes my day!
that’s so sweet thank you! someone once told me i look like ?emoji whenever i smile in pictures.
Ive seen mixed reviews about Discovery of Witches but Alex Kingston appears to be in one episode so I’ll watch at least that one
(I hope she gets to come back on Doctor Who and she and Jodie Whittaker get to hold hands and call each other sweetie)
I’m horrified to see the shofar being used like that. It’s deeply disrespectful for a Christian woman to use the shofar as a musical instrument instead of the sacred ritual item it is. Especially when Yom Kippur is just a few days away. I’m disappointed that this has been featured in an AS article tbh
(she’s jewish)
I was also confused about the shofar. I honestly watched the video and searched for the original to try to see if she used it at all and didn’t see her use it, just hold it.
I was wondering about that, didn’t see anywhere she’s jewish, but maybe I missed it.
Also heck yeah Lydia you look radiant <3 <3 <3
