Letter From Your Editors
Hello! It's me! I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet!
Goodness, we've been working our asses off this month, I can hardly believe we're still breathing. We put out a call for Staff Writers and had over 550 applications. OVER 550 APPLICATIONS. I cannot even begin to tell you the degree to which we could not even.
First, 'tis the season to buy Autostraddle merch and so, in celebration, we present the Autostraddle staff sporting their favorite Autostraddle Merchwear:
