I guess people don't read the bios we attach to our profiles. I keep getting faux-thirsty dudes trying to catfish me in DMs. Look, yes, I have cats plural, but I am MARRIED and not looking to step out. *See photo below* So... not interested. Seriously, look elsewhere, my brothers in christ.

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?

We're starting to see some conservatives turn against the MAGA regime, but don't be fooled. They didn't have a crisis of conscience or anything. They're just following the political winds. They're the same people they always were, and we got a good clear look at them this year.
