Hello, shiny happy people! This was…actually kind of a good week? I feel cautiously optimistic about recent developments in our democratic system! It’s been a minute since I felt that way, but I’m going with it!

This week, Tegan and Sara went on the Nancy podcast.

Happy Great To Be Gay Day! Congratulations on being super, super gay! (Et cetera.)

There is new merch and KaeLyn’s baby T-Rex, Remi, is now a merch model and on a scale of one to even, I TRULY CANNOT.

This feels very weird to say, but…what a good week in politics!

THESE ARE VERY GOOD BOOTS.

There were two community galleries this week – Halloween, and Celebrations! You all look amazing in both of them.

Hats hats hats hats hats.

And then there were your comments!

The Ship In My Heart Award to Ashanti:

You’re amazing, Valerie Anne. I didn’t even know how much I needed to read these words until I read them. Your recap was incredible and funny as always. But the bit with your thoughts at the end was the balm I needed to soothe my broken heart. Sanvers is and will always be so very important to me. Your words made me feel 100x better. So thank you! <3

And the Way You Hang Your Hat Award to Gavin Greco:

I had already heard about most of these through Facebook and Twitter friends but coming here and seeing it all laid out on Autostraddle still made me tear up with joy. I’m excited for us to keep this momentum going into the general. THEY CAN’T TAKE OUR SHINE.

On Always In Lesbian Style: Top 10 Cold Shoulder Tops:

The Accio Laughter Award to ClariceStarling: I’ve just created an account (after 2 years of lurking) to applaud you for making my day. This made me laugh so hard in Classic that my Latin prof flinched and overpronounced “facio”, sending the whole crowds into a gigglefit. Thank you!??? And the Tinderbox Award to Rous Rose:

[Image of cell phone with Tinder pulled up on screen. Says "I would like to be matched with" and over the radio buttons for gender, Rous has typed COLD SHOULDER TOPS PLS.]
