'The Gilded Age' star Louisa Jacobson, the daughter of Streep and Don Gummer, shared a series of photos over her mom's birthday weekend to honor her 'Joyful New Era.'

Actor Louisa Jacobson, daughter of Meryl Streep, seemingly came out as LGBTQ+ during her mother's birthday celebrations.

Over the weekend, Jacobson posted a series of photos on Instagram. The first was of her with producer Anna Blundell, followed by a screenshot of an article with the headline “We’re Entering A Joyful New Era of Lesbian Fashion.”


Jacobson captioned it, “Blessed to be entering the Joyful New Era bb,” adding a heart on fire emoji and a rainbow flag emoji. In true iconic fashion, the post was shared during her mother’s birthday weekend, as Streep's birthday is on June 22.

While Jacobson did not explicitly confirm her identity, many commenters interpreted the images as a hint that she identifies as a lesbian. She had previously posted a Pride month Instagram story on June 1, saying “Happy priiiiiiiide,” while holding a book called How To Be Gay, which a fan shared on X (formerly Twitter).

Jacobson has followed in her mother's footsteps by attending Yale School of Drama and now stars in the HBO period drama The Gilded Age.


Some people were pleasantly surprised.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
