20 min is plenty of time to check out the scissoring artifacts and still have time to power stance before your interview!
THAT OTTER PUZZLE THO
Throw the sphinx a peace sign, and then RUN TO THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE. We’ll have plenty of time to browse the collection once we’re
rulingworking in this crazy place!ps sorry bobbi
pps I’m with Luna on the coffee thing though
WE BE ALL NIGHT
Love that Mary Oliver line! Also love the playlist. Lunch is very important. I’m all in favor of more food-related Autostraddle playlists!
This is exceptional
i love mary oliver and luna
U guize did you name Luna after the otter? The BABY ORPHAN otter, formerly Pup 681, currently adopted and learning to otter at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium?

OTTERSTRADDLE 2015 NEVER FORGET <3
oh gosh I just want to give Luna the otter a hug <3
IT’S SO FUZZY. HOW IS IT SO FUZZY. WHY CAN’T I HUG IT? WHY DON’T MY FEELINGS GET ANY LOUDER?
(But really, does anyone else ever feel like there should be extra caps lock for when your feelings go from kind of shouty to even shoutier?)
Cute aggression. Cute animals make you want to pop bubble wrap use caps lock. Because, science. http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-01/science-says-adorable-animals-turn-us-aggressive
Scissoring objects, please.
Hmmm
Must sneak into GM’s office to use the color printer…
Now I am picturing you in the GM’s office and your boss at your desk asking your co-workers, ‘Where in the world is….’
Worth.It.
I swear that the first riddle was a keyboard…damn.
Antiquities? Oh yeah.
Haiku:
I’d really love to
have coffee with otters and
Mary Oliver
A plus bee issue
L&L, gay adventures
Cute Otter puzzle
This was by far the best issue in the history of A+ Bee.
oh man i’m definitely a luna this week.
I am *such* a Luna, y’all
That Mary Oliver quote was up on my wall before I even knew I was gay. It’s definitely one of my favorites.
Also, I vote we go to the director’s office. We can check out the scissoring artifacts when we’ve got the job!
It was the prompt for my college application essay where I ended up going for undergrad. It will always have a special place in my heart.
Scissoring exhibit!
I’m 50/50 between Laura/Luna this week, as I really can’t find anything redeeming about that herbal infusion situation.
However, I fully support the right to gossip therefore my ideal outcome for this week’s L & L would be Lana: The Coffee-Swilling Gossipy Bitch.
Director’s Office! Also I feel like an idiot, but I don’t get how the first answer meant scissors?? Someone explain pleeeease???
