The #TrumpRat and its activist friends forced a Republican COVID-19 super-spreader event scheduled for tonight out of New York City! Unfortunately for Jersey City, the New York Young Republican Club found a restaurant there — Maritime Parc — that was irresponsible enough to host a pandemic gala. Sorry, New Jersey! Source just sent me this…
Happy Trump-Rat Thursday!
I’ve always disliked Thanksgiving. Good holidays involve gifts, costumes, and/or fireworks. Thanksgiving has none of those. What does it have? Dysfunctional family behavior; mandatory binge eating; football (ooh, racism and brain damage!); and a feel-good spin on the fact that white Europeans sailed to another continent, said, “This is ours now,” and decimated the people…

What Wendy Wore: Not a Protest T-Shirt
Thanks to beautiful, spring-like, holy-shit-climate-change-is-here weather and a reserved ticket to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I wore a real shirt today. I’ve rarely worn anything except activism-related t-shirts since I first stepped out of quarantine in April. Actually, I felt a little uncomfortable until I realized my Justice mask from Black Lives Matter would still…
Throwback Thursday: OMG, It’s Anya Phillips
In November 2010, I tumbled down many Internet rabbit holes while writing a post about 1970s New York style icon/fashion designer/Mudd Club co-founder/Debbie Harry friend Anya Phillips. It was so difficult to find any information about her. READ MY ANYA PHILLIPS POST. So tonight I almost lost my mind when I saw the New York…
Relaxing With Joe Biden … NOT!
I don’t like to count my chickens before they’re hatched, but at the moment I’m cautiously hopeful for Joe Biden. Keep your fingers, toes, eyes, and all other body parts crossed! I’ve read and heard a lot of people bemoaning the fact that Biden’s lead isn’t the landslide they hoped for. In response, I will…

Tomorrow Is Election Day
Tomorrow — Tuesday, November 3 — is your last day to vote if you haven’t already voted early, or by mail-in or absentee ballot. If you’ve already voted, make sure you speak to/call/email/text three other people to make sure they have voted too. If you haven’t voted yet, make sure you know where to go…
RIP, Chiara D’Agostino
A year ago today, I brought a cake to the hospital so my friend Chiara D’Agostino could celebrate her 48th birthday during her chemo appointment. Chiara died this August 4 of a complication of stage 4 triple negative metastatic breast cancer — leptomeningeal disease, in which the cancer invades the fluid around the brain and…
What Wendy Wore: Art by These Pink Lips, Part 2
In September, which was either last month or a thousand years ago, I introduced you to Iris Barbee Bonner, who creates wearable art — the best kind of art! — under the name These Pink Lips. You’ve seen Iris’s custom work on Cardi B … and me. View this post on Instagram Here’s a solo…
