Only Josephine Baker could so seamlessly turn a comment about her ass into a contemplation about how she showed up in the world.

For those of you wondering why California has so many wildfires, Obi Kaufmann’s latest book is a good place to start.

No, it isn’t. This photo is from 2016.

That *is* LAFD Chief Kristin Crowley on the left; she was appointed by Garcetti 2022.

In the middle is Jaime Brown, LAFD Marine Operations Commander at the Port of LA.

On the right is Kristine Larson, LAFD’s first Black female Captain & Battalion Chief.

It’s been fascinating to watch Nancy Pelosi destroy her legacy in real time.

‘Red One’ is not a good movie per se, but it is exactly the kind of dumb fun that I needed after a difficult and emotionally exhausting day.

D’Aiguines describes the subversive evil of femme lesbians to Jacques in Édouard Bourdet’s “The Captive.”

The play ran on Broadway from September 30, 1926 until it was raided and the entire cast arrested on February 9, 1926.

(They were allowed to finish the performance, though!)

It’s an absolutely brilliant movie. I will NEVER watch it again.

OMG I love that one too.

Well Jeremy, to get on the wrong side of transphobes is often to endure violence or death.

A little criticism pales in comparison.

This guy just heaved the biggest sigh before dropping his chin on my arm.

Tough day at the biscuit factory, I guess.

That cancelled TV show you’ll never stop thinking about.

Told @kylie.hater.club the story of LA’s short-lived professional rugby team tonight & now I’m mad all over again. They won their first season and were leading when they got kicked out of the league before the 2022 post season for… reasons. 🤷🏻‍♀️

(Yes the name was stupid AF; blame Adam Gilchrist.)
