editor's notes

A tweet from @KaylaKumari that reads: watching all these mainstream publications do their 2-3 token pride pieces that are mostly just seo grabs and meanwhile we're out here at @autostraddle with a dynamic pride package with TWENTY FIVE pieces planned even tho we're queer all fucking year and not corporate-backed. The tweet is against a floral backdrop.
