Welcome to this week’s dispatch from the lesbian internet, a mid-week news roundup from Paging Dr. Lesbian, exclusively for paid subscribers.

Happy Pride! Reneé Rapp has had enough of you. The singer and actress took to Instagram Live to rail against haters who criticized her for identifying as bisexual before she came out as a lesbian (loser behavior). Her furious – and well-reasoned – clapback is one for the books. Da Brat released a new song inspired by her wife, and it features singer Jessica Betts (wife of Niecy Nash). Lorde finally dropped the much-awaited music video for her song “Man of the Year,” which features the artist wearing a duct-tape binder and rolling around in the dirt. I don’t think you need to hear any more from me on this topic, but I loved Sam Bodrojan’s essay about being trans and embarrassing.
