Chelsea Manning rocks a bold red look on the cover of Dazed‘s spring 2019 issue, titled “Infinite Identities,” which takes a stand for the global creativity of the LGBTQIA+ communities.
Here’s what the 31-year-old former U.S. solider, military whistleblower, and trans woman had to share with the mag:
On the importance of not spending too much time on social media: “It creates these discrete stories which we’re bombarded with constantly. Everything feels like it’s chaos, and it’s designed to be this way… That’s one reason why I’ve taken a step back from social media, because it really engages with this, and it’s a continuum. It’s bombarding our senses with this [idea] that we are alone and overwhelmed. It feels like your world is ending. If we just take a step away from our screens and realize we have communities, then we might be able to build up, and fight back.”
On being called a hero: “You know, there are some people who call me a hero. They say the leaks changed this, and they accomplished these things. But things are worse now. Even worse than they were in 2010.”
On living up to expectations: “I’m never gonna live up to everybody’s expectations in this regard. It’s exhausting. I f–k up; I mess up a lot in my life in general, and that’s just like basic stuff. Basic life things I’ve had to learn. I never had my own place. In the last year I’ve lived on my own for the first time, learning how to build credit, how to have an apartment, how to pay rent on time, how to consistently clean.”
“She runs some tweets by me but she never runs the ones when she’s talking about me, by me,” John explained.
He added, “We’re next to each other on the couch and she has this devilish look on her face, like she’s conniving some kind of devious plan and the tweet will go out and I’ll just look at her like, ‘Ha ha yeah that’s funny…’ She’s funny!”

The 26-year-old rapper explained that she was disappointed in Jussie if the allegations that he orchestrated the attack prove to be true, but she’s giving him the benefit of the doubt for now.
“So, I’m really disappointed in Jussie Smollett, whatever the f**k his name is. I’m really disappointed in him. I feel like he f**ked up Black History Month, bro,” Cardi said during a live stream.
She added, “I’m not gonna say…yet, until he said out his mouth that it was fake and this s**t was staged. I don’t wanna completely blame him, because, you know, like, somebody that I was talking to, they said, like, you know, ‘Police in Chicago are racist.’ So they might probably tryna frame him and make him look like he’s a liar.”
Cardi also shared a personal anecdote where the police lied about how they treated her while breaking up a fight.

Bill Skarsgard wheels his carry-on suitcase through the airport while heading to the security checkpoint at LAX on Monday (February 18) in Los Angeles.
The 28-year-old actor, who stars on the Hulu series Castle Rock and as Pennywise in the It remake, caught a flight out of town that afternoon.
The 34-year-old This Is Us actress spoke out about their relationship just days before an explosive New York Times report made the accusations against Ryan.
“I was living my life for him. It [was] an entirely unhealthy dynamic. I had no sense of self…I felt like I was drowning. It was so untenable and unsustainable and it was so lonely. I was so sad. I was lonely with him,” Mandy said on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast.
Mandy added that she didn’t work full time because she knew the marriage couldn’t “sustain itself” if she did.
“I would do little jobs — it’s not like I completely stopped working. But it would become abundantly clear while I was working, things would completely fall apart at home. I couldn’t do my job because there was a constant stream of trying to pay attention to this person who needed me and wouldn’t let me do anything else,” she explained.
In the podcast, Mandy added that she plans to release music with new husband Taylor Goldsmith, which Ryan had previously discouraged her from doing.
