Readers, friends, A-campers, lend us your ears! We have done it again! Thanks to your continued financial and emotional support — and the endless energy, enthusiasm and wits of our writers and editors — Autostraddle dot com has been nominated for GLAAD’s Outstanding Blog of the Year for the third year in a row! The third year in a row, you say? Yes, kittens, the third year in a row! We were nominated in 2013 and 2014, too!

In the wise words of our Lady of Feminist Motivation Leslie Knope, “Do it! Fierce! Power!”

We’re so psyched and super honored to be nominated along with some other really rad queer blogs:

+ The Art of Transliness

+ Box Turtle Bulletin

+ Holy Bullies and Headless Monsters

+ My Fabulous Disease

Y’all are the ones who keep making this happen for us, you know? You guys! YOU!

And guess what other amazing news? Lumberjanes was nominated for Best Comic Book! You go, Noelle Stevenson and Grace Ellis! Four for you, Noelle Stevenson and Grace Ellis! Champagne to the max!
