Music Monday: More Labour

Remember last year when we were all singing British singer-songwriter Paris Paloma’s “Labour” and then a few months later had actual hope we might smash the patriarchy by electing the first female president? Yeah. Well, at least the song still slaps. What can fairly be considered TikTok’s first feminist anthem, “Labour” continues to make us raise our voices, fists and conviction. So please enjoy this stirring rendition with the Resistance Revival Chorus on the late night with Stephen Colbert. And yes, that staging was meant to evoke The Dinner Party by Judy Chicago. Happy Women’s History Month and Monday, kittens.

Music Monday: Labour Party

Well, you liked that last TikTok feminist banger. How about another? “Labour” by British singer-songwriter Paris Paloma is another toe-tapping, fist-raising number that makes women and anyone who regularly has to deal with men (particularly cishet men) cheer. You gotta feel for straight women in particular. Like, these kinds of dudes are the reason you know sexual orientation is not a choice. Because who would choose a willfully unhelpful, lazily oblivious and/or flat-out misogynistic partner who expects the women in their lives to perform all the domestic and emotional labor? Though if it is a choice, hey straight girls, hey. (Kidding, I’m way too old for that mess.) Happy Monday, kittens.
