The Royal family is about as modern as the Pope is cool. All William and Harry did differently was pick their own wives. Those wives completely transformed their lives to fit into royalty while the men did nothing to change theirs. So THAT didn’t really change.

The idea of a monarchy at all is archaic so all of that wealth, prestige and privilege that was accumilated for doing nothing should be rejected if they really want to modernize anything.

I question the premise of the article’s contention (encouraged by Harry & Meghan at every opportunity) that they’re modernizing the monarchy. Kate & William have been undertaking that modernization since Meghan was a relatively unknown actress blogging about “Princess Kate” on the Tig. Their warmth, accessibility, and…

Truth. 

Because he’s gonna crash again.

Honestly, I feel like this is just everyone finally seeing Kanye how I’ve always seen him (which is to say, nowhere near as good as he’s made out to be).

Look, I am 100% for people (re)discovering their faith. But when I listened to this album it really confirmed for me what I’ve suspected for a while now regarding Ye’s own “born again” path. It’s the path that people at their lowest find, and it fills them with so much euphoria that they just go headfirst in, not even…

The Crown has been leaning into Phillip as the bad guy for the past two seasons, so I imagine they’ll continue down that path for now. The trailer for the new season emphasized one exchange in particular between Charles and an older woman:

Charles was born in 1948 so the only Nazis he presumably met were his paternal relatives, and I doubt he took any of them out, although I bet he had a swagger stick.

It could go either way. By all credible accounts, Charles has been a disappointment to both of his parents for various reasons. He could be seen as a sympathetic figure, looking for love and acceptance, who understandably continued his love for Camilla because she’s the only person who’s ever really understood him. Or…

That she was considered a fashion icon in the 80s says a lot about 80s fashion. 

She can do no wrong. She earned her place as Monarch, which is more than I can say for the actual Royal Family

My cousin & her husband have the best and most twisted costumes... They were Sonny & Cher, but like, current Sonny. Zombie ghost Sonny, complete with a bent ski pole around his neck.

I accidentally clicked on a paid content link the other day, and there was a slide show about Princess Diana. Holy shit... It was an adventure.

Chuck’s medals are actually pretty tedious - most of them are just the kind of medals that all militaries give out on special occasions like national anniversaries or for good conduct, but because he’s technically in several Commonwealth militaries he gets way more than most normal servicemen would and wears them all. 

The staff at Kensington can rest easy for now. The forthcoming season will be mainly set in the 1970s, which means LOTS of Margaret (the idea of Helena Bonham-Carter shredding the scenery is the big lure here - more than Olivia Colman, frankly), likely starting in Charles becoming Prince of Wales. Then next year, then …

I’m just pleased that the realm will be in the confident hands of a genuine war hero. Look at all those medals and gold fourragère and that big-ass chain. Dude probably singlehandedly took out a bunker of Nazis with nothing more than a swagger stick and received pronunciation. 

Good. Perhaps this is a controversial opinion but I find non-artistic drag to be insulting. Some cis man gets to put on the clothing that patriarchy has told women to wear, play around in the makeup we are judged for skipping in the mornings, and then wash it off and return to their privilege. How droll! How fun! Look…

I love Sasha Velour (as long as she doesn’t self harm, harm others, harm animals or harm fictional literary characters or cartoon characters). But in all honesty “What I want to do with drag is always to create a character that has fluidity and queerness built into it” that is the essence of drag and has always been…
