Charli XCX's Yeah is the purest and most stupid CXCX lyric I've ever heard and I think it's brilliant. Love that the next track is Wink Wink

sometimes I see that someone like Phoebe Bridgers has new music and I get excited and then I remember that the singer I was thinking of was actually Maggie Rogers

we arranged our vacation to make sure we were back in time for the 25th anniversary Hedwig screening with John Cameron Mitchell (and Peaches Christ)

she has it all figured out

I've been listening to the Womack Sisters (who are the nieces of Bobby Womack) and I'm excited for their debut album on Daptone.

I would like to manifest one last truly great Janet album please if you want a late era banger, I recommend "shoulda known better" from unbreakable.

now that I've successfully worn my tee-shirts in rainbow order, I can relax

had a fantastic morning snorkeling on the other side of the island. I took a nap after we got back; we are headed out later for a fun luau on the ocean

dragged my chair out to the lanai to read while housekeeping is in the room

busy day — snorkeling in the morning, new shoes because the bottom of my sandal broke, farmer's market, dropping off and picking up laundry, napping

went out to look at this sunrise, and walking back I saw what appeared to be a very large housecat that was somehow wagging its tail like a dog — turns out it was a wild boar

found a little spot of beauty while in a tiny strip mall parking lot

had a leisurely drive to poipu this afternoon

heading out for lunch after snorkeling this morning

tonight we went to the hanapepe art night. hanapepe was the inspiration for lilo's hometown in lilo & stitch

went down to the beach for the sunrise; this was just before I got caught in a brief tropical downpour

had fun putting these three looks together for the friday, saturday, and sunday of pride

here are all the new tracks that were released today that I added to my playlist there are bunch of others that I listened to and rejected. sorry Shania, Katy Perry, Karen O and Benson Boone, this is not your time

You might have theyed your last giants

ok not me getting teary reading a social media post from the official Korea Soccer account thanking the people of Mexico for all the warmth and hospitality they've been shown in the lead up to the Korea-Mexico world cup match

Tina made a short documentary about a trans elder back in 1997 that's been lost ever since. The SF library recently found the only VHS copy in their archives and digitized it. This article tells that story in the context of the work the library does for queer films and film-lovers.

TS Leonard with another glorious essay, this one about Olivia Rodrigo's "stupid song" and Lena Dunham, and chronic illness, and the aids memoir genre, and what it means for a poet/artist to be a witness.

You Should Feel How I Feel

yesterday during some world cup news, when the reporters mentioned teams moving on to the knockout rounds, I said "all is not lost" in a RuPaul voice. it feels good to understand sports

I thought you were my pekpek! (Salina, you were the best thing to happen this season)

Madonna's street team made it to Fillmore St

if you swapped Ruth's anecdotes of growing up on Widow's Bay with Rose's stories of St Olaf, would anyone on either show notice?

I love that the source of Ruth’s Tennessee Williams quote is an interview from James Grissom (who clearly fabricated his interviews with dead celebs). So not only has Ruth been caught by some actually fake nonsense that your aunt would repost on Facebook, but SHE EMBROIDERED IT. I love this show.
