The Comment Awards Are Turning Into Butterflies

A small, brown and white dog peeking over their laptop screen, with a caption that says "Hey did you see that comment?!"

Hi there, caterpillars! Instagram showed me a sunglasses ad the other day where the model was wearing butterfly clips in their hair. BUTTERFLY CLIPS. We truly have come full-circle from 1997, friends. Seventh grade Queer Girl would be shocked and amazed. Also their scalp would kind of hurt because SO MANY BUTTERFLY CLIPS! Brb, I’m off to zig-zag part my hair and find a high-necked, faux satin spaghetti strap tank top to wear to the school dance!

This week, KKU reviewed Dead Ringers, the Rachel-Weisz-playing-twins thriller from Amazon. This show was REALLY something!!!!

Riese knows which early ’00s movie made you gay! My own personal answer is ALL OF THEM.

It’s National Poetry Month, and A. Tony’s got eight new queer collections you need to read!

I loved this, from Niko: Reimagining My Closet After Coming Out of It.

Oh! I also loved this, from Sai! Calling Myself a Lesbian Has Been a Lesson in Self Acceptance.

How did you celebrate Lesbian Visibility Day? Ever on-brand, Heather brought us the 20 TV moments that changed lesbian history (and the topography of my own heart) forever.

Here’s Liv Hewson calling out the issue with gendered Emmys categories.

For Blush and Bashful, Vanessa’s got some important tips for saving money on your wedding!

And then there were your comments.


On Guessing Game: *** ***:

The Good Clean Fun Award to Pallas:

This one was so hard for me and it was so satisfying to get it!!! I like having the hint in the puzzle because it gives me less time to think about it before puzzling, reducing the chance that I’ll get it by hint alone. :D I love both play outcomes though, by hint and by guess, and love the versatility of this puzzle. It never disappoints!

On 10 Hot Things You Can Do to Boobs, Chests, and Nipples:

The Deeply Considered Horniness Award to Sollemnia:

Tits the season

On Calling Myself a Lesbian Has Been a Lesson in Self Acceptance:

On No Filter: This Pic of Chef Melissa King Is Such an Enormous Flex That I Actually Don’t Have the Capacity To Discuss It:

The Uh! Huh! Her! Award to Angie:

Having spent many spring breaks in Marfa as a teenager, I can report only that had I seen Leisha Hailey walking down the street I probably would have combusted.

On Pop Culture Fix: Butch Lesbian Bro Che Diaz Is Back in “And Just Like That” Season 2 Trailer:

The Porter for President Award to Lindsey Sealey and msanon:
