SGC is gonna have everything from #feminism to #RealHousewives #Bravo from #criticaltheory to #DanceMoms. However, for our picky readers, I've added a Top "Clo" Trio Tasting Menu (aka three sections) that may better fit your particular #realitytv #philosophy palate:

I love that the first "Clo adapters" on #bluesky are not only #Bravo #realhousewives fans but #LGBTQIA, #drag fans/ queens, and/or #WOC and/or #neurospicy folk. Also maybe #wiccans, #tattooartists, #comicbook nerds, #gradstudents, and/or #authors who dabble in #pottery or #astrology or #philosophy.

Fellow #writers: you know when you write a sentence, look at it, "go, damn I love that, but I bet it is not going to make the final draft"? Here is mine of the day: "Bitch may be the mithril that holds the "glass ceiling" together, but can it be the tool that breaks it down?"

Why is that is a woman isn’t catering and kissing her partners ass she’s not doing enough. Stop hurting your own gender with rhetoric like this. Can we promise to support the women of Bravo since most of us are women? Why do we turn against each other? I am specifically referring to Paige.

This is a question I will be grappling with a lot here, on Reddit, on my substack, and any other corner of the internet I end up sharing my #Bravo writing: what is OUR culpability as fans of these programs in not providing either the support or accountability to the Bravolebrities we love?
