What a beautiful and apt description from your son’s coach! ⭐️

I’m the same way. I can’t enjoy someone’s art if I know somewhere, if whether in the product the craft of the process itself, that they’ve been a piece of shit.

What’s heartening is what I hear from my kids - every dance seems to include at least one kid (in a school of 500) who does the gender-alternative route. And the kids really don’t make as big a deal of it as the adults do. They don’t always agree with it, or understand it, but the fact that they tolerate it is…

In the 70's, even pseudo-ties! Women felt they had to dress like men to be taken seriously.... What is consistent is the constant scrutiny of that with which women adorn ourselves.

Aniya, you sound like a phenomenal human. And, totally not the point but you look amazing in that tux. Everyone deserves to feel as confident and fucking boss as you look in these pictures.

Women wear suits all the time in office settings — pants, oxford shirts, and blazers. All The Time. Why adults would suddenly be upset about women wearing pants, shirts and jackets is beyond me. LOL

There are two women here in town — one over 60 and gorgeous white hair, and one under 40 with gorgeous brown hair, both similarly cut to Aniuya’s — who wear The Most Gorgeous Suits Ever.

A new thing that today’s cadre of gender judges needs to realize: they aren’t the only game in town or even the majority any more.

On a related topic. Must read from the New Yorker, today.

Aniya, I’m sorry all of the adults are being awful. You’re handling this really well, and you look great. I hope you had fun at the prom.

I was once a passionate Dylan admirer, and then upon hearing about some of the more unsavory facets of his character — his treatment of women both personally and professionally in particular — all of it turned acrid, sour, and I could no longer listen to any of his music. I am not the kind who can separate the person…

I’m glad another school had the integrity that her school did not.

I work at a holocaust museum and I don’t think its in bad taste. I give tours and one of the big messages on my tour is being aware of the past and the events that let the holocaust happen so that it doesn’t happen again. So far, Trump is ticking a lot of the Hitler’s-Rise-to-Power boxes and we definitely should be…

I don’t think it was in bad taste at all. Trump has consistently been compared to Hitler for a while now, and if putting into context helps some people finally “get” it then so be it. Honestly , I don’t think it’ll affect most people though

Plan Aleph includes a nosh, I assume?

First and last time I ever voted Republican: Bill Weld and Paul Cellucci for Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts in ‘90.

“You know Obamacare is really I think the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery. And it is in a way, it is slavery in a way, because it is making all of us subservient to the government, and it was never about health care. It was about control.”

Strongly agree! It seems that people remember the Holocaust(images of death camps, stories of survivors) but not enough about how it came to fruition which is absolutely crucial to never letting it happen again.

The fact that Kristallnacht needs to be defined twice in this article is kinda proof enough that people have NO FUCKING CLUE how horrible shit got and how Hitler got started. So no, the language isn’t too strong. Trump is a fucking Nazi.
