Robert and Jamil pact to wear eccentric hats every school year. But when Jamil is mocked for being gay, Robert shows up in a hand-dyed pink hatband of pure solidarity. Experience Craig Kenworthy's beautiful story. linkinbio #DressHimUp #LGBTQBooks

What doesn’t make sense to me is that a lot of young generations act like Madonna hasn’t had a hit since the 80s. The year Jake was born, she released Beautiful Stranger and won Grammys for ROL. The following year she had two huge smashes: Music and Don’t Tell Me.

Another stellar story from one of my favorite writers!
"The tie was a fake. But none of that mattered." In Nairobi, Dr. Patel relies on a replica London club tie as armor against high society, only to learn the hollow truth of his protective disguise. Read @FarahAhamed’s story! #DressHimUp #GlobalLit #fiction bookshop.org/p/books/dress-h…

6 REASONS MADONNA’S ‘CONFESSIONS II’ DESERVES ALBUM OF THE YEAR 🏆 COMMERCIAL SUCCESS: A #1 Billboard 200 debut with 134,000 first-week units. CRITICAL ACCLAIM: An 82/100 Metacritic score, positive reviews across board. SONIC AMBITION: A cohesive dance record that explores diverse electronic influences without merely repeating its predecessor. ARTISTIC LEGACY: Over 40 years into her career, Madonna is still producing work that commands serious critical attention. EMOTIONAL & LYRICAL DEPTH: Grief, family, forgiveness and motherhood give the dance-floor production a deeply personal dimension. CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE: A 10th Billboard 200 #1 album reinforces her extraordinary longevity while the music makes its own case. Most VMAs wins in 2026. Commercial achievement, critical recognition, cohesive production and emotional substance. CONFESSIONS II deserves to be judged as a serious Album of the Year contender on the strength of the record itself. 🪩
