Hey, all - I hope you had a nice weekend! I know everything blows and all the news seems awful, and every new story is worse than the last. I know. I didn’t include any here. You’re welcome to discuss whatever you want in the comments; this isn’t an edict. I’m just letting folks know that this can also be a safe place to land, where everything isn’t full of terrible people doing horrific things to other people.
Just when it seemed like Timothée Chalamet’s war on ballet had faded into the background, Charlize Theron has issued a warning to the future Kardashian. Theron spent years as a ballet dancer, complete with all the grueling discipline that requires. So when she said these words, a chill should have run up Timmy’s spine: “Oh, boy, I hope I run into him one day.” Did she stop there? No. No, she did not. - (EW)
Tina Fey said she was “on the wrong side” with some of the SNL jokes back in the day, but then she also said a lot of other words that sounded a lot like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - (Deadline)
Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird have ended their decade-long relationship. - (Celebitchy)
These ’90s movies are better than you remember, and The Man in the Moon doesn’t get nearly as much attention as it should. That movie WRECKED me! - (Yahoo)
On This Day in History: Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to run the Boston Marathon… even though women still weren’t allowed to! - (Facebook)
Speaking of marathons, last week, a blind man in England ran a marathon with the assistance of Smart Glasses and volunteers using the Be My Eyes app — and he raised thousands of dollars for charity! How cool! - (PEOPLE)
Sabrina Carpenter performing with Madonna at Coachella was electric. - (SocialiteLife)
Ice Spice makes a Wendy’s joke after being attacked at McDonald’s. She’s got a better sense of humor about the whole thing than I would. I mean, god, can’t a woman just eat some fries in peace?! - (AVC)
If you want to look at gorgeous bridal gowns far beyond anything you or I will ever be able to afford, I present Elie Saab Spring/Summer 2027. - (GFY)
This is from a couple of months ago, but I put it in a folder and forgot about it. Ooops! What’s a compliment you received that you’ll never forget? - (SM)
National Library Week starts today with the theme, “Find Your Joy.” Now is a good time to check in on your local library and see how they are doing and maybe what they have to offer. Share some of your favorite library experiences in the comments below or over at Cannonball Read. (Cannonball Read 18)
Ricky is SUBLIME!
This is Ricky. He was a runner-up in a pet photographer's "My Fabulous Weirdo" competition. Unfortunately when you are this fabulous, it can be very hard for the weird to shine through. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: portraitsofdogs)
