ruling issued on August 30, U.S. District Court Judge Benjamin Beaton granted a request from Chelsey Nelson for an injunction to block the city from enforcing the law, which prohibits discrimination against LGBTQ people in employment, housing, and public accommodations.Nelson initially sued in 2019, arguing that the Fairness Ordinance violated her First Amendment rights on the grounds that the city might be able to force her to photograph same-sex weddings or “otherwise express messages inconsistent with Nelson’s beliefs.” She also sought to be able to advertise on her website that she only photographs opposite-sex ceremonies.As several other artistic professionals or wedding-related businesses have claimed in other cases, Nelson claimed she would have served clients, including LGBTQ people, “regardless of their backgrounds” so long as the work was not marriage-related.

A$AP Rocky has released a vibey new song titled ‘OUR DE$TINY’, on which he collaborated with Playboi Carti.Without being announced in advance, the song was posted to Rocky’s Instagram overnight, as well as the Twitter account for his creative agency AWGE. At the time of writing, those are the only places it’s available to hear in any official capacity, with no available details on a potential streaming release.Running just over two minutes long, the song itself shines with a twinkly, atmospheric soundscape of reverberant synths and chopped-up vocal harmonies, ultra-crisp 808 percussion and tinges of warbly psychedelica.
A$AP Rocky and his AWGE-affiliated artists have a tendency to release full songs to the internet without officially releasing them on streaming platforms. Tracks like Playboi Carti's "Cancun," one of his defining songs, have never been officially shared outside of AWGE's social media, and last year Rocky shared a new song and video called "G-Unit Rice" exclusively on his Instagram.
