Episode 50: 6.20.25
we're going nowhere fast
Happy Pride Month!
It’s been one of those months that make me sporadically text people that I love them after doomscrolling a little bit too much on Twitter. Switching back and forth from “bisexuals can’t celebrate pride month after June 15,” to “people are being ripped from their families and kidnapped to god knows where,” back to “is Tate McRae a republican?” and “hey, is Israel about to nuke Iran?” is numbing me beyond recognition. At least Addison Rae got us!
I’ve had this draft going for a while now, but haven’t had the energy to finish it. Looking at the internet hurts, but I hope you get a chuckle out of something down here.
Here’s some gay news:
Jojo Siwa and Fletcher both came out of the closet as not-strictly-gay this month in the most discourse-y way possible. Now we've got Billie Eilish and Clairo making out with men in front of paparazzi? Who’s next, Rosie O’Donnell? During PRIDE MONTH?
As a bisexual woman, I jest. We’re all inherently a little bit cringeworthy, and publicists still don’t know quite how to handle the romantic/sexual fluidity of celebrities. I mean, they only invented bisexuality a few years ago!
Fletcher’s out here selling merch for her controversial single (which only features the word “BOY” on it) to really target two demographics and two demographics only: trans men and crunchy Californian parents who are leaning way too heavy into their upcoming gender reveal party.
,” said bisexual celebrities in 2025.
Y’know what is great bisexual representation, though? The Sims 4 will drop a fairy-themed expansion pack this summer so you can finally make your ACOTAR barbies kiss and then the boys can kiss the boys and then kiss YOU, the beautiful self-insert brunette.
All-time top Gerard Way stan Trisha Paytas met her idol this month. If you don’t remember from a previous episode when I detailed Trisha’s obsession with My Chemical Romance, she’s a bigger fan than I am. Bandit Way, Gerard’s daughter, showed them Trisha’s videos. :,)
Happy Billboard Charting to My Chemical Romance’s recent Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge remaster! As of this week, their album (and in my opinion, their best) ranked #6.
put them both on the traitors s4, i’m being so serious right now
Miley Cyrus is saying a lot of stuff right now for her new album’s press tour. Apparently, she didn’t tour her last album (entitled “Endless Summer Vacation”) because she can’t tour or do work on “vacation,” y’know, as a bit. Miley and Dua should share notes.
vacation is where i wanna be, party on the beach where the fun is free Can you believe it? Sabrina Carpenter, of all people, posted a sexy album cover for her upcoming album, Man’s Best Friend. I don’t know what’s more headache-inducing, the anti-sex discourse or the rumblings of nuclear war on my feed right now.
Republican Caitlyn Jenner’s stint as the guest of honor at Tel Aviv Pride got rudely interrupted because Israel, a country that famously does not allow gay marriage, started a war with Iran last week, rendering her stuck in a bomb shelter instead.
On Instagram, she posted a photo of missiles in the sky above her, set to Pentatonix’s cover of “Hallelujah.”
What a joyous pride month for us all: Zoe Saldaña says her 'Emilia Pérez' Oscar is trans and goes by they/them.
Dakota Johnson had a dream that Matty Healy was a murderer, and when the cops came running for him, he turned into an asparagus spear to avoid recognition. What does she know that we don’t know?
NOW LISTENING:
Still searching for the Song of the Summer and the Gay Song of the Summer, and I don’t know if this is the latter, but it just might be. (Also, rumor has it that my all-time favorite banger, Summerboy - Lady Gaga (2008), might be the surprise viral song of the summer??? These TikTok kids are crazy.)
