The Comment Awards Are Nailing A Ring To My Door

Jan 24, 2020

Hello, hi, we made it through the week! A week in which I have thought about Finley’s button-ups at least once per day. Do you think LA carries Wildfang in its thrift shops? Because those shirts are NOT cheap.

This week, Christina wrote about the things your therapists probably wishes they could tell you.

Kamala’s inviting us into her Dyke Kitchen, a series I can’t wait to dive into.

I DON’T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS, BUT SOME IMPORTANT THINGS HAPPENED ON THE L WORD: GENERATION Q THIS WEEK. It’s fine, I’m fine!

Speaking of Generation Q, Drew’s got a suggestion for how the series could truly flourish in Season 2.

This is such a fantastic resource: Martin Luther King Day Roundtable: What’s In Your Black Justice Toolkit?

Batwoman is getting…even gayer???

For You Need Help, Archie answered a letter writer who has been feeling drawn to cheat on their partner. This writing, and advice, was SO GOOD.

New writers are here! New writers are here!

Jehan’s got a new series called Year of Our (Audre) Lorde, and I’ve never been more excited.

On What Can Black Queer People Learn From the Lost Queer Joy of the Civil Rights Movement?

The Real Joy Award to Natalie:

This day affirms, probably more than anything else, that people still don’t know that MLK was human so you were ahead of the curve in learning that in college, Carmen. It’ll take your post as a challenge…not just to allow myself joy but to not feel guilty when I do. Thank you for sharing this.

On I Loved “Sex Education” Season Two — I Wish It Loved Me Back:

The Generosity of Spirit Award to leep:

Drew, you write so thoughtfully and generously, even about media that’s thoughtless and/or cruel. It really makes me think about what I could do to approach the world that way, thank you for it.
