The joke is that you presume anyone in a bar is over 21 years old and so rather than logically deducing that adults have brought a baby into a bar, the humor comes from concluding it’s a not a baby at all, but a baby-looking adult
The 2001 revival of The Women was one of the most stacked casts ever. Cynthia Nixon, Jennifer Tilly, Kristen Johnston, Amy Ryan, Mary Louise Wilson, Adina Porter, Julie Halston, Rue McClanahan, the list goes on….

I hope I’m never in a bar where someone’s cruel enough to secretly film an eight second video of me minding my business, post it on the internet, and invite strangers to make wild speculations on my character

No, it ended up being a funny interaction; they laughed along with us once they got the context and left in good spirits without buying a drink

One of my favorite parts. Also, do we know why Candy had to put the cash in before Lulu distracted them? I've always wondered what part that played in the plan
Here is a performance from La Cage aux Folles from the 1984 Tony Awards including “We Are What We Are” and “I Am What I Am” from the original Broadway production starring George Hearn.

Being trans isn't a mental illness. Gender dysphoria is not the state of being trans. It's distress caused by gender incongruence, so these policies would actually increase cases of gender dysphoria.

Consider why though. Certain braid styles—box braids, micro braids, cornrows, etc.—originated from Black people and to this day are actively discouraged in many predominately white spaces. Those same entities that discourage these hairstyles have pressured
I wish Maya Rudolph would also be the musical guest at some point because not enough people know she fronts a Prince cover band (and of course is daughter of the great Minnie Riperton!)
This coverage is shameful. No care or concern for highlighting the beauty and cultural richness that make Jackson great. No attempt to accurately portray the city and its intricacies.
“I had never fathom coming here,” Coach Sanders says of the

“I ain’t ever even vacation here, man. I ain’t ever been skiing or whatever you call it.”
“Gays fought with ‘we’re normal, just like you’ and *won*. “
This is a wildly inaccurate statement. In fact it wasn’t until we actively shifted *away* from that strategy in the post-stonewall era that we saw our most notable strides 🧵
Trans acceptance has stagnated or reversed in polling.
Gays fought with “we’re normal, just like you” and *won*. Compared to that, 🏳️⚧️ has really awful PR. A tactical retreat towards “we just want to assimilate” and away from, you know, pronoun circles would be good, I think
I miss Jackson MS cuisine so much. And sad that Julep is gone cause that honey rosemary fried chicken was good enough to be regulated by the government
Cheesy special effects?? It won the Oscar for best visual effects. And the cheesiness is kind of the point! Hard to retain the camp and comedy if you make a hyperrealistic hole in someone’s abdomen.
I don’t care if they wear it or not but I WILL say it’s interesting that in the past, baseball gloves were often made of pig skin, despite Leviticus saying of pigs that one mustn’t “touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.”
5 Tampa Rays pitchers refused to wear Pride uniforms this weekend. Pitcher Jason Adams: “It’s just that maybe we don’t want to encourage it if we believe in Jesus, who’s encouraged us to live a lifestyle to abstain from that behavior.”

Mom was teaching me around 5 but it wasn’t clicking. Then one day we were buying a book and I suddenly understood. Read the whole thing by the time we got to the front of the checkout line. It was this one and I’ve loved reading ever since. It was this one, appropriately.
Did yalls parents teach you how to read or did you learn in school?
This literacy crisis baffles me because… I thought kids were supposed to learn that in school. Parents can supplement at home but most of it was at school for me…
Notice their eagerness to pit cos gays against trans people with the usage of “what was once the gay rights movement.” Trans people were always part of it but mainstream cis gay activists sidelined them for palatability purposes.
“The cultural issue has been co-opted by the radical left, which has taken hold of what was once the gay rights movement…"

Something I wish more journalists would emphasize: gender dysphoria is not the state of *being transgender* it’s distress caused by not being able to live publicly as one’s gender. The treatment, often times? Living as one’s true gender
Symone Sanders: "The infrastructure that the New Georgia Project, led by Stacey Abrams, built...is the reason that Georgia was in play in '20, is in play right now...people better stand up and give Stacey Abrams her flowers."
Not endorsing his comments but there’s a really compelling academic book about the distinction between gayness as a sexual practice vs gayness as a cultural practice that I strongly recommend
