A happy Wednesday upon you, friends; welcome to your weekly Pop Culture Fix.
+ Tig Notaro interviews an extremely nervous Lena Headey on Under a Rock.
+ Los Angeles Sparks’ Chelsea Gray married her girlfriend, Tipesa Moorer, last weekend!
+ Bachelor in Paradise‘s first queer couple, Demi and Kristian, have broken up.
+ Katie Heaney over at The Cut: The New Terminator Is My Favorite Lesbian Love Triangle
+ Alice and Batwoman are going to find ways to team up later this season.
+ So, um. Lucy Liu creates like a a lot of lesbian paintings.
+ Robyn Crawford is releasing her memoir, which details her relationship with Whitney Houston.
+ Laverne Cox has joined Shonda Rhimes’ new Netflix series.
+ Nic over at TV Junkies: Black Lightning‘s Queer Characters Deserve Better
An additional layer that reared its ugly head this week is — what happens when parts of your identity are represented at the expense of others? In a world where people of color are starved for content, I should be thrilled that Black Lightning exists. I am. I should be happy that a Black lesbian bulletproof superhero is on TV. I am.
But I’m tired of settling for scraps. I exist. I’m a whole ass queer ass Black ass woman who walks through this world worrying which part of my identity is going to offend someone first. Will a man be threatened by my vagina? Will a white cop want to end me because I’m Black? Will a MAGA stan scream at me because I’m wearing rainbows (spoiler: this one actually happened to me)?
+ Delta deleted a bunch of lesbianism from Booksmart, but they’ve put it back in.
+ Queen Latifah will star in the Equalizer reboot!
+ You can stream Selena’s last concert on Amazon Prime.
+ Ellen will receive the Carol Burnette Lifetime Achievement Award from the Golden Globes.
+ Young M.A. is on Mr. Robot, who knew!
+ A first look at Shrill‘s second season.
+ Singapore will be the backdrop for the “high-flying lesbian rom-com Handsome Stewardess.”
+ I know, I know, Kristen Stewart was very fun on last week’s SNL, but Kate McKinnon’s Elizabeth Warren cold open stole the show for me.
Really looking forward to watching the Equalizer just Queen Latifah!
I was youtubing “Drunk Lesbians Watch ‘Imagine Me & You'”, and I clicked on here. BOOM! Lena Headey…..I feel like she’s following me.
Slow down and let her catch you!
every time a white lady politician does something i’m just like ‘damn can’t wait to see kate mckinnon’s eerily accurate impersonation of this!’
as well as a lot of white male Republicans!
I am obsessed with Lucy Liu’s paintings
The Warren campaign should be paying Kate McKinnon. I’d follow her anywhere.
when are we gonna talk about Atypical? I’m dyin over here!
I am disappointed that the thing people shout at Lena Headey isn’t “You’re a wanker number nine!”
I did not know I needed that interview so much! I deeply love Tig Notaro
The interview was good, but I have to suspend a LOT of disbelief that TN hadn’t seen Imagine Me & You. We only used to have like 15 films, and that was one of them… one of the best of them…
