Hayley Kiyoko‘s “Girls Like Girls” arrives in theaters this weekend carrying an unusually heavy burden. The directorial debut of a beloved queer artist affectionately known as Lesbian Jesus (yes, that’s really what Kiyoko’s fans like to call her) would be enough to generate serious buzz on its own. But the 35-year-old singer-songwriter’s first major movie is also based on her landmark music video from 2015, a legendary text for a certain generation of very online queer women. Hovering around 163 million views on YouTube today, the original “Girls Like Girls” music video is a viral Tumblr-era phenomenon that helped shape sapphic culture in the digital age. Kiyoko’s sun-soaked fairytale — about two teen girls falling in love against a tumultuous backdrop of suburban longing and hidden desire — even inspired the pop icon to write a best-selling YA novel about its characters in 2023. Translating that text to the big screen seemed like an obvious next step for Kiyoko. And, at a time when studios are frantically searching for creative ways to compel internet audiences toward real-world experiences, it’s also a savvy business move from distributor Focus Features. The need for a feel-good queer movie is palpable this summer, too;

IDF intends to remain in southern Lebanon irrespective of any US-Iran deal While discussion of Israel’s attacks on Lebanon Sunday primarily focused on a deadly attack on the capital city of Beirut, the IDF continued to carry out operations across southern Lebanon as well, and continuing to try to force the population out of the area. The IDF issued two distinct statements on Sunday ordering people living in southern villages, 13 in the first statement and 16 in the second one, to flee their homes and move north of the Zahrani River. Several of the villages were ordered evacuated for the first time during the war, as many lie north of the Litani River, which was meant to be the deepest the IDF was going during this invasion. More than 20 other towns in and around Nabatieh were ordered evacuated on Saturday. Rubble lies around damaged building at the site of an Israeli strike in Tyre, Lebanon, May 28, 2026.

Home News Education Posted By: Larry Felton Johnson June 14, 2026 By Larry Felton Johnson I delayed the posting of the public comments video while I made a difficult decision about whether to delete one of the comments. Under normal circumstances the answer would have been a resounding no. The comment was made at a public meeting, and the reason I’m at those meetings to begin with is because the school board made what I believe is an unwise decision to suspend the livestream of the public comment portion of the meeting. I normally record the comments, pack up my tripod and leave. In this case, during the regular meeting comments, Superintendent Chris Ragsdale asked that the video be edited to delete references to specific school emergency safety protocols. Under normal circumstances that would be an absolute no. Public officials do not get to dictate what goes into the news. But this was a trickier case, involving school safety protocols, presumably in active shooter scenarios. The day after the meeting, while trying to decide what to do, I communicated with the commenter. She said that she in no way intended to undermine school security, but that she’d also prefer that

The clean girl aesthetic is melting away, and beauty is getting louder again. Think gritty indie sleaze shimmer, smeared black eyeliner and the kind of makeup millennials once put on for a carefully casual #GPOY. Going full hipster-era at for a morning meeting or school pickup may feel like a lot, though. Halsey, the unofficial queen of peak Tumblr, has a much easier entry point: about-face Cherry Pick Lip Shimmer. The glossy lip color takes the brand’s Cherry Pick Lip Color Butter formula and sends shimmer through the entire stick. One shopper who bought four shades praised the “wonderful sparkle” and said it gives glittery makeup energy without looking like you “beat your face with an arts and crafts department, which is clutch; plenty of sparkly lip products look exciting in the tube, then feel gritty, find a way to feather out past the lip line, or lose their shine after one drink.

Disney Channel kids tend to make their pop star debuts with a kind of pre-established sheen, but perhaps none so much as Olivia Rodrigo. At only 23 going into her third studio record, the High School Musical: The Musical: The Series star has yet to really go through any messy growing pains in the public eye like forebears Miley Cyrus or Demi Lovato. Her debut hit single, 2021's "drivers license," saw the arrival of a composed, radically vulnerable artist who, somehow, already felt fully formed. Rodrigo's first post-teenhood album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love , is here in the wake of what can only be described as a powerfully chic display of coming-of-age cool: being photographed on a date with Geese's Cameron Winter. Getting Killed? Nah, Rodrigo's just getting started. While giving the record a release-day spin, some Exclaim! staffers exchanged their thoughts in a group chat, discussing the evolution of limerence, the Gen Z Jack Antonoff, what makes a good role model for young girls, and more.
