This week, we celebrated Autostraddle’s 12th birthday, and what a party it’s been! It’s a great time to join A+ for the Birthday AMA, Riese wants to know how well you remember all the gay news of 2009, Carmen’s got the perfect celebrity date just WAITING for you, and the team wants to tell you what they’d say to their tween selves!
Wynonna Earp is back, and Valerie Anne is back in her most natural recapping habitat! These are always so good!
Got cycles? You might want to organize your life around them.
Kayla watched Moxie so we don’t have to. (I wanted to love this! Alas.)
Dani Janae had great advice for a Straddler who’s having trouble being out in public.
Shelli Nicole’s FYP is a treat every single week, and the absolute best way to engage with Tiktok!
Jai reviewed For Us and For You, an a m a z i n g looking “anthology of trans poetics.”
