Hello, travelers! Happy almost October and happy Bisexual Awareness Week!
This week Lila wrote about finding her queerness in rural America, Carmen explained that it is possible to come out to your parents for the second time and Audrey talked about coming out as bisexual.
Fall television season is upon us and the Autostraddle recap machine is in full gear. Rachel wrote about the first episode of “Transparent” and Riese covered the season two premiere of “Faking It.” Ellen Page and Kate Mara won’t be on the next season of “True Detective” (because of the patriarchy) but at least we can watch them play detectives in this hilarious video.
Speaking of superstar lesbians, if you haven’t seen Brittani’s “Words With Girls” pilot yet you should queue that loveliness up, stat. Don’t you know everything Brittani Nichols touches turns hilarious (or into quesadillas)?!
Also also also, editors and commenters talked about what first brought them to Autostraddle and Laura invited you to join the Speakeasy’s book club. Finally, KaeLyn’s wrote a beautiful love story about her vacuum because KaeLyn is an amazing unicorn.

WHAT
THIS IS TOO MANY. HOW AM I GOING TO STAY GROUNDED.
Bask in it. Glow with the glory of your gay wit. Let it consume you. Become an even more ridiculous person. Seriously it’s awesome high five
Let’s all collectively shudder at remembering said article.
One of the many reasons I aspire to be Monique.
I’m definitely going to build myself a trophy room because IT’S YET ANOTHER EXCUSE TO WEAR MY TOOL BELT
I should mention that my tool belt is pink and was given to me for free by Kris Jenner because life is WEIRD
Pics or it didn’t happen. (Of tool belt, not Kris Jenner…unless you have a pic of Kris Jenner giving you this toolbelt, which would be ah-mazing)
Yeah, everything @kaelynrich said
Wait wait wait STORY NOW.
First Riese replied to a comment and then I came home to this award. Honestly, I’m overwhelmed.
Grace horse, though.
Now Rebecca Black will be in my mental radio all day. Thanks, Sarah.
GRACE HORSE.
Gotta preserve these for posterity somehow.
