Here's the full article! Even though we have legislation in the works to make us a trans refuge state, Walz said he felt it was urgent to act on this now with what other states have been doing.
I'm shocked. I am insanely proud. This is my home. I hope we can help you feel safe too.
There’s a lot of bad news right now. I hope this good news spreads as widely as the stories that make us feel afraid.

Okay so I know we're all talking about the blatant lesbian tension scene between Katya and Sofia, but I want to get more into the actual details of the scene itself and how it characterizes both of the women--namely, as emblems of the unbridgeable gap between the lower working class and old money families.
The creation of the tension is due to the strangled intimacy of Katya, who feels fascinated by Sofia's cynical venomous personality towards her. Katya is old money, she's never known the sort of pain and suffering Sofia has--she has suffered, and that is what bonds the two women together, but they're from polar opposite worlds. Additionally, everyone wants Katya. She's the Helen of the movie, and is arguably more of the main character than the eponymous Goncharov--or at least has more agency than him working within the standards of the tragic mafia genre.
But Sofia doesn't want Katya. She isn't charmed, she isn't swayed, she isn't even curious about this Russian mobster's wife who has been spending so much time with her. She's just the latest pet project of a rich person's whims and Sofia has no choice but to go along with it.
Now, the dinner shared at Les Poisson has four members attending--Goncharov, Andrey, Katya, and Sofia. Pulling from the clock/time thematics, Katya and Sofia are 20 minutes late to the restaurant (incidentally allowing some interesting implications to happen between Andrey and Goncharov, because we never see what they were doing but they clearly were both flustered). This is because of what I'll be calling the Pearl Scene.
Pearls have always been a standard precious gem for old class. Gold is gaudy and diamonds are loud, but silver and pearls? Eternal heirlooms. Katya inviting Sofia to an incredibly upscale restaurant was an embarrassment for Sofia, yet another layer of vulnerability she didn't want to have to reveal, but she had no clothing appropriate. So Katya purchases her a lovely evening dress in silver brocade. The overlapping patterrns on the dress itself are even reminiscent to both the patterns of light off of the waves seen from the lighthouse and the scales of the anchovies, though I think that's just lietmotif more than actual tying together thematics.
But the really important part--and the reason this scene is so thick with heavy lesbians--is Katya taking her pearl necklaces off and placing them around Sofia's neck as Sofia holds the hand mirror.
See, again, pearls are standard old money looks because they were fucking expensive as shit. A single quality pearl even now can go for over 20,000$. Just one pearl. And we know that Katya's necklaces are her deepest prides, symbols of her own ancestry and family before she married Goncharov. Her taking them off is symbolic of her tying herself to Sofia, but more than that, it complicates the thematics further. The pearls have been the barrier preventing intimacy and vulnerability between Katya and Goncharov the whole time. And now they're a sort of poisoned gift, though none of them realize it at the time.
The 10 minute anchovies scene within Les Poissons Diner is possibly the emotional climax of the movie. Katya, Sofia, Andrey, and Goncharov are all suddenly thrown into questioning their relationships with each other as they've been brought together to try and save Goncharov from his pursuers. Andrey is jealous of Katya over her ability to publicly be involved and intimate with Goncharov, and furious that she chooses not to do so. But when Goncharov notes that Katya gave Sofia her pearls, Katya responds "Every woman should be allowed to feel like she is looked at beautifully." This has the entire table in shock--even Katya herself!--as it basically ties together the whole complicated mess of interrelation feelings.
Sofia feels offended that Katya has placed her mark on her like this, but also cannot deny that she agrees with Katya and that she's being given opportunities she never could have been given otherwise. Goncharov is suddenly hopeful as the speaking look he gives his wife is finally reciprocated. Andrey and Sofia become suddenly connected by the feeling of being outsiders to this whole affair, brought on only out of whim and circumstances. And Katya, the Helen of Moscow, has with a single choice--of giving Sofia her family's pearls as a gift--doomed the entire cast. She wants everything, and to do this she gives everything she can--but it is never enough, and she finally realizes this at the lighthouse, starting the final and most ultimate conspiracy to betray Goncharov--herself.

I. Love this. So much. Each and every one of those cats is having the best sleep of their lives, and I wish I was where the child is right now.
All I want is to sleep with half a dozen cats curled up around me.
My dad has a massive vegetable garden and it is his life. Whenever I ask how things are going, he tells me about the garden. Periodically he will text me a picture of the things he's harvested and ask when I'm coming to pick them up. And for a while, the biggest bit of garden gossip has been his nemesis, the gopher. This gopher was consistently ruining his day by pilfering the best of everything just before my dad could harvest it. Anytime I talked to him, all he had to tell me about was "that damned gopher." He dreamt about killing the gopher, his truest enemy. He tried to train the dog to hunt the gopher, but the dog is a pacifist. He led some of the barn cats to the holes, but the barn cats have unionized and refused his offered rate. He then laid no-kill traps (can't risk having poison near the crops) with eventual gophercide in mind, but then suddenly he was faced with a cute and terrified animal and didn't have the heart. He released it. "He was so scared, he'll never come back." The gopher was back the next day, with a vengeance. That was some weeks ago. Today, my dad sent me pictures of his garden, and I saw a squash gently laid by the gopher's hole, like a package left on the doorstep. I said "Dad, what's that squash doing there by the gopher hole?" He said "Oh, he likes squash best." In an effort to appease the gopher, my father now gives him a little squash everyday, like leaving an offering for a garden spirit. This apparently works well as a compromise; the gopher has stopped stealing, content to have his meals delivered to his door.
The skirt I got is awesome and fits perfectly but more importantly my cat has claimed the box it came in!
perfect :’)
OH MY GOD
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen about the whole Musk Twitter Event because imagine being so bad that John Green, the man who was famously run off Tumblr by literal maniacs editing his post to a serenade to cocks in the Green Cock Incident, considers Twitter to be The Worst Site, ie worse than Tumblr. Insane

hey guys can you help me find that old portrait of a girl holding a little painting of a naked dude and cracking up about it?? I want to say it’s by Rembrandt but that’s probably not right
It’s “Smiling Girl, a Courtesan, Holding an Obscene Image” by Gerard van Honthorst!!
It’s the best painting that exists
I don’t know about you, but I really want to know what’s written on there - wait, I found a higher res image, can anyone translate this?
also it’s kind of an amazing little vignette
Hahahaa
Okay it says “who knows my arse from behind” and I will never recover from this
OKAY— so i LOVE this painting, it’s in the St. Louis Art Museum, and on a tour i found out the story. it’s not a naked dude, at all. It’s actually a smaller depiction of her, she’s a sex worker! She’s showing off her advertising for her services. It’s a really cool historical example of sex work, and a gorgeous painting to see in person.
So that grin is her going:
“That’s me!!”
