Hello, my tangerines and kumquats! So much amazing content from so many rad new voices showed up this week on Autostraddle dot com, I hardly knew what to do with myself!

Claire reminded us that the 1999 Julia Roberts movie Runaway Bride was an absolute feast of lesbian fashion.

KT matched up the 2020 Democratic Presidential hopefuls with the Indigo Girls song that best captures their campaign.

Allie gave us A Beginner’s Guide to Establishing a Queer Houseplant Utopia, which is extremely relevant to my interests! (I am parent to several plants, none of which seem to be…doing very well.)
