Sunday Funday Is Nice for What?

Hey, hi, hello it is me, Alaina!! Happy Sunday! Wow, how the heck are you doing? Is it snowing where you live?? That’s so weird! It’s forecast to be a perfect 70º in Austin, TX today, so I’ll send you some warmth if you’re in the wild north braving snowstorms. Anyway, we’ve established that it is Sunday, and boi howdy, do I have some fun to share with you today! I hope you dig it.

They read Autostraddle over at Broadly. And they’re writing about scissoring. I, for one, still find your very own opinions on the act to be one of my favorite lists published on the site.

Can’t wait to twerk to Cardi’s new album at A-Camp X!!!

You can maybe ask Samira Wiley a question!! Like maybe if she thinks her Gal Pal tee is the softest material ever just like you think your Gal Pal tee is the softest material ever?!

April 26th, we’ll be live on the NYTimes Facebook page with @samirawiley. This is your time to ask the co-star of “The Handmaid’s Tale” anything you want. Submit questions to readervoices@nytimes.com with the subject “Samira Wiley,” and tune in at 7:00pm EST on April 26.

Okay, friends, that’s all I got. I hope your week is going to be so groovy and full of babes if you want and dancing and lots of friendship and love! ??

HA! Just kidding! Who do you think I am?

Drake came out with a video for his newest song “Nice for What” and my goddess, it’s full of beautiful women. The video is directed by 22-year-old Karena Evans, who also directed the video for “God’s Plan.” I want to know everything about her. Queer girls and nonbinary babes all over the internet had a lot to say about it.
