Everyone thinking this public fight between Elon and Trump is some planned “distraction” are giving two very dumb men too much credit (again).

Has anyone else just accepted the fact that AND JUST LIKE THAT isn’t as good as SATC but you alter your emotional state and just enjoy it anyway?

Enjoyed @timmiller.bsky.social chatting with the Vibe Check guys (@theferocity.bsky.social @samsanders.bsky.social @zachstafford.bsky.social).

Does this mean Pride will be subversive again?

Trump lecturing South Africa’s president about FAKE white genocide is exactly why former plantations like Nottoway should’ve never become luxury hotels.

We’ve never truly confronted the violence of white supremacy—just rebranded it so they’re the heroes and we’re still the threat.

I loved the interview @warren.senate.gov did with @theferocity.bsky.social, @samsanders.bsky.social and @zachstafford.bsky.social. I think of what our country could be like with her as Senate Minority Leader all the time.

"Dandyism is to me forever queer."

I interviewed @zachstafford.bsky.social , my favorite gay Black boy from the South, and Met Gala red carpet correspondent for @autostraddle.bsky.social

www.autostraddle.com/zach-staffor...

Screenshot of Instagram post titled “Zach Stafford on the Met Gala, Black Dandyism, and André Leon Talley” published on Autostraddle.

“Dandyism is to me forever queer. When LeBron James started wearing his dandified Thom Browne to NBA games, it was a queer moment. He’s carrying a bag. It’s queer-coded and has a queer sensibility.” Quote graphic.

This week on VIBE CHECK, we talk about the first 100 days of Trump’s second term and the launch of Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour. Concert season is back and so is the Ticketmaster bullshit.

Also, @zachstafford.bsky.social is going to the Met Gala!
