Pumps and Pearls was the first drag show I ever saw, when I was a baby gay and it was still the Town House. This sucks. RIP to a delightfully funny old broad.
We lost another legend this weekend. Lily White (Timothy Lober) hosted Pumps & Pearls for decades. It was one of the main stepping stones for people getting into drag. Such a gorgeous performer & gracious friend. The final P&P will be this Thursday night.

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Need to stress that, like the Pretti killing, this terrorism is happening in extremely mixed use residential neighborhoods. Cafes and restaurants just down the street. The St. Paul Curling Club that's put out so many Olympians competing *this week* is like two blocks away.
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

I choose to believe that she released this and immediately disappeared from public life, never to be heard from again.

i am not a morning person so I would not know this but luckily it also works if you stay up late enough.
sometimes, if you’re up early enough, you can hear them turn the birds on

To Amy's credit, this is the closest she's ever gotten to something trans that doesn't involve pushing people under a bus.

This man had the opportunity to protect our most vulnerable neighbors by calling for an eviction moratorium, and instead he is doing this bullshit.
Minnesota may be known for our lakes, Bob Dylan, and Prince - but our civic engagement runs deeper.
If Donald Trump intended to make an example out of Minnesota, then I am damn proud of that example.

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

It’s hard to imagine someone more universally enjoyed than Catherine O’Hara where the opinions range from “I like her and her work” to “I love her and her work” and that’s a pretty good legacy
