Queer as in F*ck You

WE LOVE YOU AMY, FOREVER!! ‘Jeopardy!’ Champion Amy Schneider Impressive Winning Streak Ends. Schneider won close to $1.4 million (daaaaaamn girl) in the second-longest winning streak in the Jeopardy’s history.

A Black Puerto Rican feminist writer with a PhD in American Studies from New York University, Carmen specializes in writing about Blackness, race, queerness, politics, culture, and the many ways we find community and connection with each other.  During her time at Autostraddle, Carmen focused on pop culture, TV and film reviews, criticism, interviews, and news analysis. She claims many past homes, but left the largest parts of her heart in Detroit, Brooklyn, and Buffalo, NY.
