Talking, laughing, loving, breathing, fighting, fucking, crying, drinking, writing, winning, losing, cheating, kissing, thinking, dreaming, this is the way, it’s the way that we laugh, it’s the way that we laugh… and lovvvvvvvve.

(Oh, don’t like the new intro? Oh well. I was thinking I would just keep it for THE NEXT FIVE SEASONS).

This week, Martha Kirksey did what she could.

Nora brought us such a good installation of Style Thief! Jazzmyne Robbins is amazing.

Amazons training on the island would totally buy everything on this Amazon Prime Day list.

Faith reviewed GLOW, a show that’s suspiciously straight for how incredibly gay it is.

I don’t know if you heard, but there used to be this show about lesbians called The L Word, and I guess a few people watched it? Anyway, they’re bringing it back.

Reneice made strawberry shortcake for her new column, Femme BrûléeI am so excited for this and the title is so good!

And then there were your comments!


On This Is You: Some Things The 2016 Autostraddle Survey Told Us About You:

The Peekaboo Award to Stephanie:

What about the percentage of readers who never comment but literally read every single comment? (guilty as charged)

On No Filter: Brittani Nichols Goes Full Portland:

The Style Thief Award to Sam:

I HAVE THE SAME SHIRT MALLORY IS WEARING AND I WORE IT TO CHURCH TWO WEEKS AGO. Ugh, I have such a crush on her, and also, apparently, good style.

On Sorry, A 19th Century Woman Already Has the Best Tombstone:

The Vaguetombing Award to Chandra:

This is like the tombstone equivalent of vaguebooking

And the Queer Morgue City Guide to Katy with a Y:

Shows picture Katy took with the tomb Erin wrote about, then says "I did what I could"

On BREAKING: “The L Word” Is Getting A Reboot, Bless Us Everyone:

The Fake News Award to Allison:

satisfying sixth season

The Very Cool L Word Award to verycoolname:

I just started hate rewatching The L Word last week, so this couldn’t come at a better time. My short list of people I want to see cast in this reboot: *Samira Wiley, except she doesn’t die and it’s wonderful. *Brittani Nichols *Laverne Cox, but only if they actually write a trans character properly this time. *Lena Waithe *Cameron Esposito and Rhea Butcher as a unit — they have to be married and their marriage should be near-perfect and without petty drama. *Kate McKinnon *Kristen Stewart, but all of her dialogue is just rehashed Shane lines. *Erin Daniels, but not as Dana. I want Erin Daniels as a totally new lesbian. It’s never addressed why this new lesbian looks exactly like Dana Fairbanks. *Tatiana Maslany. She has to be playing twins. *Dominique Provost Chalkley. Hopefully they film in a warmer climate so she’s comfortable whilst wearing crop tops in every scene.

And the One Ilene to Rule Them All Award to Carmen SanDiego:

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil

On What Actually Useful Things Did You Learn From Your Exes?

The How You Doin’ Award to Elle:

My last boyfriends taught me that I actually prefer women! Still haven’t dated a lady type yet (hey y’all..), so I’ll let you know all of the wondrous things I’ll learn at a later date

On “Orphan Black” Episode 505 Recap: Defy Them:

The You Came in Like a Firework Award to willow rose:

That first shot of Cosima in that tux and holding Delphine’s hand made my heart explode. Like a great big beautiful firework it exploded.

And on Queer Celebrities! They’re Just As Weirdly Giddy About “The L Word” Reboot As You Are!

The Fahrenheit 45L Award to Valerie Anne:

The amount of people like “I WANT TO HELP MAKE THIS NOT A GARBAGE FIRE
