The A+ Bee Issue Sixteen: Shamrock Shake

Hey there little lions!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day if you’re into that sort of thing and happy sweet sixteen to the Bee! I hope you’re having just the best Tuesday a person could. This issue has so many cats, reader submitted lists, Laura and Luna being terrible/awesome and so much more!

You could also download the PDF of this issue and take it to a nice 16th birthday dinner, if you were so inclined (bonus points to someone who actually does this and hashtags the adventure with #aplusbeephoto).

xoxo,

  1. I feel like Laura is getting a really raw deal here. Maybe she is good at other things that aren’t highlighted here. Maybe she’s just checked out of the relationship because she needs to spend her energy on personal issues right now. Maybe she really resents being compared to that goody two-shoes bitch Luna all the time and it’s battering her self-esteem and she’s taking it out on everyone else.

    Maybe I have an insatiable desire to side with unlikeable characters/underdogs.

  2. The things said at the Straight Party were so funny!

    Yes, it’s just called Straight Party now.

    • Haha that was my submission, yay! And yeah, it was a reeeeeeeally big Straight Party. They owe me big time!

  3. Gay-dventure:

    As much as I like battles, I kind of do want to get to my interview someday, and I want to give MRA’s as little thought as possible. Go stealth!

  4. Wow I listened to about four of the songs on that playlist this morning while getting ready for the day when this hadn’t even been up yet, that’s cool. Also the listicle and the new Laura and Luna is perf (Admittedly, I’m probably a little bit of a Laura in that one. Just a smidge.) And I really appreciated the quote from The Lego Movie.

    My question about the choose-your-own-gaydventure is if we’re following Beth’s tarot advice in this circumstance, even though it does involve Men’s Rights activists

  5. I love my Grankulla. So chill to relax and sleep on.

    In unrelated news, I think if I’d played Girl Talk I would’ve realised I was non-binary sooner. :)

  6. Yay, a Little Mix song! I heard them on the radio back when I was living in Indianapolis a couple years ago when they came to a local mall to play, but haven’t heard much of them since.

    As much as I’d like to choose battle, I’d realistically go stealth, because I hate confrontation (and being late).

  7. Seriously, whenever I’m walking down the street, and “Yellow Flicker Beat” is playing on my iPod, I feel like a fuckin’ boss.

  8. Yay my Listicle! :) Seriously the straightest thing I’ve done since I came out – jokes were necessary! ;)

    I’m gonna have to pick BOTH options A and B; I would slip on my Invisibility Cloak and just whack the dudes as I walked to my car, still totally making it on time for my interview AND scaring the shit out of them. They think the place is haunted, they never come back, we all win. YAY!

  9. This Bee contains overtones of Schrödinger’s cat (the ginger kitten) because HE IS TRAPPED or MAYBE HE’S NOT.

  10. I’ve got to say, I’m with Laura on the IKEA furniture. It seems like a great idea at the time but I’m still staring at the unopened box containing my power drill.

    That tarot card is very, “Oh, you’ve got five swords? Try not to stab yourself, LOL, I’m out of here.”
