Chappell Roan’s Push for Boundaries is Making Her Look Like a Karen Gone Famous

New York: it might be the city of dreams, but that doesn’t mean that all of them should be made reality. A few nights I had a dream that I got judgmental looks on a bus for being the only passenger who wasn’t breastfeeding. Do I have any desire to recreate this in real life? …
