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!
BREAKING: Federal appeals court says Florida’s universities can’t enforce the Stop WOKE Act pending appeal.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The injunction upheld by this court does not declare the proposed law "unconstitutional"- it merely prevents its enforcement while the case is further litigated.

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!

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.

I’ll never forget what my uncle said at a baby shower. “People will tell you ‘just wait’ & list off all kinds of negatives. But just wait until the first time they say ‘I love you.’ Just wait until you see them sticking up for someone else.” He listed off a dozen things like that

I accidentally used my mom’s fabric scissors to cut wrapping paper and now the cops are here
1. Had a baby, and all the learning and lessons about life that come with that.
2. Moved to an apt that I can control the temperature of for the first time in my adult life.
3. Pairing down on commitments and “being busy” no longer a personality.
