"Here it is !! The “Palm Springs” music video. I wanted to do something different with this video, to show people a little window into the things I care about outside of the music. On a personal level this video stands for what I can accomplish when I take myself out of toxicity and love myself instead. I hope you love it" - Ariel Beesley 

Let your inner activist Hump Day & Chill today in one of the best ways I can imagine, with Ariel Beesley. This young woman who I have know since she was, oh never mind, no need to go there. But she is a complete source of inspiration to me in everything she does. Trust me, it takes some kind of special to inspire me.

The video for her latest single "Palm Springs" has dropped and I LOVE what she co-directed along with Lili Peper. It documents Ariel putting together a benefit for the ACLU called "Front Line Girls" (which I attended) and I couldn't be more blown away by this young woman's passion. She puts her money where her vocal chords are.

Thus, I'm going to leave you with the video and a way to find Ms. Beesley on Instagram, as well as a link to donate to the ACLU to honor the artist and humanity. 

Hump Day & Chill minions!

Chrissy Teigen "But It Is, You Idiot"

Chrissy Teigen
Pregnant & Planned Parenthood Supporter 

Props to one Ms. Chrissy Teigen, who by the way is pregnant with her first child by husband John Legend in her support of Planned Parenthood and not backing off from the haters.

Wake up people! Planned Parenthood is about women's health issues, while "yes" they do perform abortions but that is merely a small part of what happens there percentage wise. Oh, and PS, sometimes abortions are performed for the Mother's health and survival FYI.

Also since when is a woman's uterus property of the U.S. Government?

Her is a transcript via E!Online of her Twitter conversation with people who called her out:

"Every time s--t like this happens, john and I immediately make another donation to planned parenthood," she wrote.

She drew many negative and sarcastic responses and got into heated arguments, which carried over into Saturday morning.

"Maybe you should make a donation to the Colorado Springs Police Department," one person wrote.

"it might seem insane, but it's possible to support two things at once. I suggest you do the same," Teigen replied.

"Happy to see you support. Just wanted to make sure you remembered people lost their lives today," another person added.

"I don't need you to check where my feelings and mind are," Teigen responded. "I'm an adult. I'm good. Thank you." 

Then there was some name-calling.

"@chrissyteigen remember how this wasn't about PP? But no need to correct yourself with facts, that doesn't fit your agenda," another user wrote.

"But it is, you idiot," she replied. 

And there was some more naughty language.

"It would be wonderful if you could promote this as quickly as you promoted donating to PP," a user wrote, linking to a crowdfunding page raising money for the family of the police officer who was killed in the shooting.

"Oh f--k off," Teigen said. "Nothing is ever enough for you, is it? How about you donate?"
The unfollows followed.

"Extremely fine with any unfollows," she tweeted. "Would prefer it over your ignorant rants but I'm prepared either way. Nothing I haven't seen before."

And when it got really petty, husband John Legend got involved.

"I am a published author who typed in a hurry. Focus less on gramerical errors and more on @PPFA killing kids," one person wrote, addressing Teigen and another user.

"Gramerical," Teigen joked.

"@chrissyteigen That's an American grammatical error, which means it's actually correct no matter what," Legend replied.
