Hello beautiful pizza rats! What have you found worth dragging onto the subway with you lately?
So many beautiful things have happened this week: Vivian saw and was seen by the Pope! Riese had some feelings about Jessica Nunes, we’re giving the queer fall TV lineup our hellos, and we’re sending love to our bis. Also! Gabrielle did some incredible writing about writing about trans women, the Emmys were more feminist than ever, and all the queers are looking so good at Oakland Pride and NY Fashion Week. You too can look this good, as Lydia shows us how to stay warm and keep it cool in our favorite new jean jackets.
Speaking of the cooling weather, grab a very soft blanket and curl up with the queer tarot book you didn’t know you wanted and all the amazing Comics and Sequential Art award winners! Or, if you’d rather listen to your stories, Samara rounded up an amazing list of podcasts hosted by queer ladies. We also rounded up some vital stories about mental health, we met Willow the coolest blacksmith, and Laura imagined her picnic date with Galadriel. Phew!

Damn, Freya, I didn’t think of it this way
No worries! Flippant yet deep thought is one of my hobbies.
RIGHT
Thanks for the comment award! *blushes*
you earned it!
I dedicate my award to the attractive queer nerds who aren’t men. I can do that right?
100% yes
Yes, please do.
We need as many things dedicated to us as possible.
Thank you to everyone who made this week’s comment awards possible! I am glad to be part of the community we have here.
you are all the best <3
