It’s been months since Janelle Monae released her subtly queer masterpiece, “Make Me Feel,” and I’m still just at the beginning stages of my recovery period.

Evidence B: The guest appearance of Tessa Thompson, rumored to be Monae’s partner, who actually busts out of her enormous pink vagina pants.
