i'll never get over how skinny jeans have become so normalized, they're now worn by conservatives lamenting the decline of traditional masculinity.

you don't even have to go as far back as the early 2000s to see how this used to be taboo for men

Federal court has found @GovRonDeSantis "Stop Woke" act unconstitutional violating our first amendment rights. FL Universities can continue to teach subjects on race and gender. A win for education, a win for students, for our courageous faculty members & a BIG win for democracy!

it’s with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to a member of our Queer Eye family. Rest in peace, Tom Jackson

Been with my spouse 11 years, married for 8, leapfrogging salaries along the way, and when people ask me for relationship advice, the only thing I'm 100% sure is true and right is this:

Thank and compliment your partner for all the little shit.

It matters. It helps. Every time.

An “arts recovery grant” that literally allows applicants to take time off to simply recover. Time to heal hearts, brains, bodies, maybe even just luxuriate in not feeling perpetually overwhelmed/behind/rushed for the first time in 3 years—for like… a month… at least!

@ShaeleighAgain I’m making it up as I go along, but if you need someone to chat with, let me know! It’s definitely hard some days.

@ShaeleighAgain We’ve been doing the same here! Sometimes just easier to have them with you instead of getting up and down all night. Sending you some good bedtime vibes!!

[Lana Missen @UniquelyLANA]

@ShaeleighAgain Hopefully it is a phase and you’ll get some decent sleep again soon!

[Lana Missen @UniquelyLANA]

@ShaeleighAgain It might be a sleep progression? When they’re learning things they tend to wake up in the middle of the night to practice. It’s exhausting for sure, but it means they’re growing and developing.

I’ve recently moved over from Good Reads to Storygraph, but I don’t have any friends on it yet. Anyone else on it and want to connect? I’m at my usual handle .@uniquelylana

It was six years ago, and my mate, Pink, had just been told he was going to die. He accepted the news with a grace I can only marvel at, but he said he’d a list of things he’d still like to do.

We sat in a pub one night and read it over. Eight things? Four months? Ok. Deal.

@ShaeleighAgain Hope everyone feels better soon!

[Lana Missen @UniquelyLANA]

@chiefladybird I’m sorry you were put in that situation. Definitely not fair for your family, especially with little ones in tow. Hopefully you’re able to have some time and space to feel re-centred.

@no_shrill Here’s one from Christmas for you! ❤️
