Does Trumpland chaos bode better times ahead? I say yes. Happy Fourth!
Anyone paying close attention to the news might well ask themselves what on earth there is to celebrate this Fourth of July. But we must celebrate, or they win, in the paranoid sense of 'they.' They want the day, but we can't let them have it. Independence Day is America's day. Sure, we bleeding-heart nervous cases are teetering on the edge of despair, but that is exactly why I am calling for us to move into a new phase of resistance: hope and joy. In ghastly times, these are subversive.

Emily Ratajkowski admits she 'enjoys being subversive with motherhood' as she hits back at critics in racy ELLE cover shoot
Emily Ratajkowski has admitted she enjoys being 'subversive' with motherhood as she hits back at critics. The model, 34, opened up about life in her thirties and motherhood while gracing the July/August cover of Elle UK. In one striking shot, Emily sizzled in a beige striped co-ord set featuring a collared shirt and mini shorts that showcased her toned legs. She later slipped into an oversized beige wrap cardigan paired with white pants as she pulled off a sultry look in a bathroom setting. Another image captured her lounging on a bed in a baby pink shirt before switching to a cropped floral blouse with red leather hotpants. Emily also turned heads in a vibrant mini dress and went braless beneath an open denim shirt paired with purple floral trousers. During the interview, the model opened up about her thoughts on fashion now that she is a mother to her son Sylvester, who was born in 2021. She said: 'I think that [fashion] is actually one of the ways I really enjoy being subversive with motherhood. There's so much around what a mom should look like.' 'I know what kind of mom I am, and I only deeply care about my son's reaction to that. Anybody else who has opinions about me as a mother because of the way I dress – it's just so inconsequential.' Emily then spoke about growing into her thirties, which she described as something she is 'fascinated' about. The beauty explained: 'I'm fascinated with this decade of my life. 'My mom had me at 39, and I remember she always romanticised her thirties as a time of self-exploration and power as a woman. I'm in the midst of it and really feel that way too.' She also highlighted the importance of community at this stage in her life, as she said: 'I still like men. 'I just have zero straight men in my life, unless they're a romantic interest. In the hierarchy of needs, that's at the top of the pyramid, which is nice. '[Men are] pleasure and fun, but not a part of my core. 'The rest of my life is community with other women and queer people, and being a mom.' On shaping the next decade, Emily said: 'You can't control everything, but you can move towards something to give yourself the life you want, which really excites me, because when I think about 34 to 44, I'm like, 'Oh man, there's so much opportunity.' 'I can be so much more intentional than I was in my twenties and there won't be, like, accidents.' Emily is set to star in a new Netflix series titled Too Much, which has been created by Lena Dunham. The series is scheduled to be released on Netflix on July 10th, with the model playing a character named Wendy in the series. The star was given creative control while filming the new series, which she explained was something she really 'valued.' She continued: 'In my twenties, I didn't have a lot of it in my career. Now, I like making things and I like not being an addition to them. 'With Lena, I got to shape the character so much, which was really fun. It gave me a bigger role than just an actor for hire.' Elaborating on her experience on set, she said: 'Lena leans into some of the more 'feminine' ways of directing – over communication, consideration of everyone on set. 'Instead of being this domineering presence, her power lies in grace and in the ability to make everyone feel comfortable.'
