Hi all! Are you at Dinah Shore? Yes? No? Here is a guide to what Autostraddle is doing over there, and if you’re like me, you’ll want to live vicariously through them via the liveblog which will probably be the best part of your weekend.
Other things that happened this week: Crystal made a playlist for you! It’s called No Fucks To Give, which means you need to check it out right now. Speaking of playlists, here are 5 playlists for you to have sex to. What will help you get laid? Reading books! Join our book club, we’re reading Bastard Out of Carolina, by Dorothy Allison.

Dear ‘Dear Abby:’
Now, I realize you give such shitty advice that you must use an alias, however, some real people have earned the name ‘Abby’ (exactly as you spell it), and would like for you to step out of your advice-giving closet and use your legal name. That being said, if I followed the advice you give, I’d probs end up in a ditch somewhere in California, searching for the truth and panning for gold. Keep in mind that only a select few can live life as unicorns.
Regretfully yours,
a gay Abby

The Liveshare 2011 Award to Brianna:
I ate three bananas today and one of them was in a sandwich. Just thought you should know.
haha “bamf” not barf. two very different meanings.
it says bamf? did you mean it to say barf?
Hello sorry I confuse everyone all the time. I changed it to bamf when I saw her comment; it said barf originally.
Thanks for changing it. What kind of queermo would I be if I disliked vests.
I saw your comment award and I got really confused for a second. I thought I made an alt account I didn’t remember when I was drunk or something.
yay thank you! im approaching ~1/8th of the amount of awards terracottatoes has.
this is everyone’s goal.

for the record, someone told me there was a ~sexy tegan and sara song that was really about math class and I believed them to this day. they might have been joking, I can’t really remember, it was 2003.
