Love that leopard suit and happy Pride Month to Jessica and her partner! Also to be fair to the youth – Baz Luhrmann has done weird things to his face and I didn’t recognize him either when he was at the Met Gala.
THIS. im a huge fan since r+j & i wouldnt be able to recognize him now. plus he hasnt had a hit movie in forvever
I always have to do a double take with Jessica because she’s so sweet-looking and sometimes I can’t believe her and Cressida are the same person. Obviously the hair and costumes play a big part in that. Anyways, love this for her!!!
I love that Cressida’s character is getting fleshed out this season and we’re seeing another side of her though. She’s becoming one of my faves and I never thought I’d say that!
Good for Jessica & Happy Pride Month! I also appreciate her Bridgerton cast supporting her.
Has anyone read the book Under the Bridge is based on? Would you recommend it? I agree with Pajiba that the show broke the “dead girl” mold and gave us a troubled, complicated teen girl who deserved every chance to grow up and find herself. But I got the sense that was the tv adaptation and the book was more focused in the boy the author had developed feelings for.
Happy Pride Month! Congrats to Jessica ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🌈🌈
The Caitlin Clark stuff is a bit crazy. I can understand why the current WNBA players feel frustrated. CC comes onto the scene and gets paid more than many, chartered flights, and a huge endorsement deal from Nike. But CC is also pulling in some significant viewership numbers which will only help the league as a whole. Instead there seems to be a lot of anger directed at CC and what looks like jealousy. I find it disappointing because there really is a missed opportunity to leverage CC’s talent and popularity for the good of all.
I joined a WNBA chat thread in preparation for our new 2025 expansion team, but I’m already about to leave it over the ugliness. I also just read Britney Griner’s memoir, which although only tangentially about the WNBA is part of this huge moment the league is having. I can’t wait to start going to games. The best way to push through the ugliness and misogyny is to support the WNBA with tickets and merch and keep expanding opportunities for talented players.
The discourse on the WNBA subreddit is pretty awful.
Clark is still playing well even with her…teammates (they are hard to watch, if she had better teammates, that would take a lot of heat off her, too). The rookie hazing will just make her that much better and difficult to contain, but I’m sad to see some of the more problematic behavior on the court. I mean, I get why people would feel envious, especially when there have always been amazing players in the WNBA. There are better ways to process those feelings of frustration and envy than taking them out on her.
Bottom line, I’m with you – still going to games and buying merch. I wish I liked our team colors more.
She said bisexual! OMG! Bi sister! I can’t tell you how in this day and age actually reading the word BISEXUAL filled me with so much pride and joy.
Amandla Stenberg wrote a piece about the importance of labels and bisexual in particular back when they identified as bisexual (they identify as a non-binary lesbian now iirc) and it stuck with me for years.
It’s none of my business, but I looooove it when artists come out as bisexual. Say the B word! And say it proudly! Happy Pride month! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
…who did? I don’t see that word anywhere.
It’s wonderful to see Jessica happy and unapologetically herself, but I still can’t stand the Cressida character. Despite her egregious past wrongdoings in the first two seasons, she’s receiving undue sympathy, whereas Edwina and Marina are not being given the same consideration. I wonder what the reasons for that could be?
I’m tired of this Caitlyn Clark narrative. She isn’t being treated any differently than any of the rookies in the game this year and this is just WNBA. This is what it is. A player tried saying that last week, and again, non-fans, people who only started following this year, etc, all told her to sit down and be quiet. Angel Reese is getting close-lined on the court and catching elbows, which isn’t being discussed. Then the narrative is…they are treating CC this way because they are jealous. That’s disgusting and disturbing. It’s giving anti-Black women and leaning very hard into the Great White Hope territory. I saw that ESPN decided to highlight CC for one moment in the game she scored, even though she scored the least points on her team and her team lost by 30. How does that make any sense? There are rookies doing better than CC is at the moment and yet they don’t get as much shine. It’s really aggravating.
