No Filter: Danielle Brooks Meeting Maxine Waters Is a Mood

Welcome back to No Filter, an important reflection upon the week’s best queer celebrity Instagram and a pointed commentary on society at large. I can’t believe I do this for a job!

I thought it might be nice to kick things off with this absolute excellence:


Lena Waithe wants to know why we’re bothering to talk about anyone else today, and honestly I have the same question.


This is an incredibly gay week for King Princess but this is I believe the gayest post in her Insta this week.

I wish anyone looked at me the way Samira Wiley and this dog are staring at each other.

Sarah Paulson voted for anything that’s not this American Horror Story.

Did you ever wonder what the process to turn Stephanie Beatriz into Stephanie Beatriz looked like? Now you know.

This picture of Ashley Benson is very nice but I cackled out loud at the following comment and people in my office looked at me so I had to be like “oh haha, just normal work stuff, this spreadsheet is hilarious.”

THE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW

Dark princess of night Evan Rachel Wood has come to scream in your face like the Bent Neck Lady.


I have a real soft spot for mega fans of bands getting to meet or work with bands and I know Gaby is really into Blink-182 so I’m not even gonna make fun of her this week.

  1. I really feel Danielle Brooks because I too cannot keep it together around my heroes. Not even a bit.

  2. I debated making a joke about the Samira pic and Republicans being put on a leash…

    But that dog, and that look is too much, I just can’t.

  3. Great round up, as usual. My favorite thing on Insta yesterday was watching Tessa Thompson & Gina Rodriguez & Iā€™m sure other people that Iā€™m forgetting repost peopleā€™s ā€œI Votedā€ pics on their stories. So many gorgeous souls exercising their constitutional right!

  4. “I have a real soft spot for mega fans of bands getting to meet or work with bands” – saaaaaame ugh it’s so pure!!!

  5. Steph Beatriz becoming Steph Beatriz, all the while talking non-stop, I swear to G*d ! So funny.

  6. Is there anyone in this universe more adorable than Samira Wiley?!

    (The answer is always no, but I keep asking with every picture she posts.)
