You asked — we got the answer. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (@gewhitmer) rainbow sweater? She bought it for her gay daughter, Sherry — who didn’t want it. So she wore it for this interview. Then we posted a preview, and the internet went wild.
Watch the first clip from her Pride conversation with Pride Source Executive Editor Chris Azzopardi.

College paper days to now — 20+ years of @andrewpotterphoto catching me in the best light.

Lately I’ve gone all in on portraits. Dog portraits too!
There’s an old man in here whose eyes I really love — and whose stache was so fun to paint. Didn’t realize until I finished him how much he reminds me of my grandpa.
There’s one of my niece too. Right on the brink of being a teenager — all that complexity just under the surface.
I have a file on my phone called “Things I want to paint” and I love getting on the couch and scrolling Pinterest to add to it. #art #watercolor

I’ve been painting and drawing older ladies a lot this past year, but this one’s a favorite. She’s vibrant, and I love the texture the oil pastel gives her, but there’s a darkness there too — a kind of sternness that makes you feel like she’s not someone you’d try to fool. #portraiture
I chatted with the unstoppable queen @kathygriffin this week. She’s never been one to shy away from speaking out on the issues she cares about and we covered a lot of ground! Including, obviously, her thoughts on #heatedrivalry.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
