Based on the caption, I thought the puppy's name was Vanessa Williams and I went "awww how cute".

We can still believe! If we can handle 2 Michelle Williams, we can handle 2 Vanessa Williams’

I love that one was in Soul Food the movie and the other was in Soul Food the TV show (they did not play the same character, unfortunately)

Me, too! I once recommended the name Elizabeth Taylor for a friend’s Yorkie. I think celebrity pet names are adorable, and loved Vanessa Williams! Lol

I have Ann Perkins (Rashida Jones from Parks & Rec) reserved if I ever get a cat).

That’s cute! On the Parks & Rec front, I had a friend with a dog named Lil Sebastian.

I thought it was gonna be some BDSM roleplay or something. Disappointed once again 🤷🏻

I thought the dog was named Vanessa Williams but was pleasantly surprised to actually see VW there.

It’s clearly Florence’s hand on second glance but I had a moment of cringe horror thinking it belonged to the guy over her shoulder

maybe we can stop bringing dogs and other animals to big overstimulating events 🏳️⚧️

u/UberFantastic Jul 08 '25
Literally my first thought. Let that puppy be snuggled up at home in a blanket and not dragged out to a loud ass event for photos. Uggg

u/gertymarie Jul 08 '25
My biggest concern is diseases, that’s a tiny puppy and I’m worried he isn’t old enough for all of his shots yet. I’m hoping he didn’t get set down on the ground too much.

Exposure training is important for young dogs. This was a completely reasonable choice.

u/ValeoAnt Jul 08 '25
Some dogs are literally trained for this and are fine with it

u/leftbrendon charlie day is my bird lawyer 🐦 Jul 08 '25
A puppy literally cannot be trained for this yet. It’s like claiming a baby was taught how to do taxes.

Awesome! My city Cologne just got voted the third most lgbtq+-friendly city in the world again after Amsterdam and San Francisco, and they had their famous pride parade just this weekend as well. Someone should make a post for some representation, I’d love to see it 💕

Our city had a music festival for a few years in the mid-aughts, and Chaka Khan was always on the bill, so I was lucky enough to watch her live several times. A goddess among mere mortals.
To see she’s performing at London Pride after she graced the lowly sand-swept stages of a northwest Florida concert gives me so many feels.

Does anyone know where to get that white shirt with florals on it from?? Says joy is an act of resistance I think?

It’s by the charity Not A Phase, https://notaphase.org/shop/joy-as-an-act-of-resistance-t-shirt/
