Greetings lovely commenters, lurkers and people who spelled Autotrader wrong in their browsers! I have missed you during my travels across the U.S. and Canadaland over the past few weeks. What the heck is new with you?

This week we’ve been talking about Ferguson, pondering the insane “help” advice columnists give to bisexuals and also the anti-rape nail polish that was invented by some dudes.

The pop cultured among you know there’s been a ton of talk about the Emmys, Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” and fall comics. Also Beyonce and Blue Ivy remain perfect. And what is summer for queers without brunch, brunch and more brunch? There simply are not enough words to explain the importance of a vegan/gluten free/paleo/etc. breakfast.

As my favorite robot toy of the 90s would say in a jarringly creepy voice, “NOW LET’S GET BACK TO BUSINESS HERE.” There are a few more awards than usual because I missed you and also because Samira Wiley.
