The Comment Awards Are Imagining The Future We Need

Hi, pals! You’re doing great! I think that maybe we should bake some cookies. Cookies feel like a reasonable response to [gestures vaguely]… everything. What kind are you going to make? I think I might make snickerdoodles!

This week, Greasebats embarked on a staycation.

Autostraddle turned 11 whole years old and the team celebrated with an AMA! (This is an A+ post, but the MANY amazing questions and answers are totally worth the subscription!)

Drew tried trans dating app Fiori and had some thoughts.

Is King Princess actually ANGEL?!

  1. Thank you QG!! You’re exactly what the doctor ordered.

    Also that King Princess/ Angel thread is going to have me giggling all day. These are the only kinds of crazy theories I want to be reading rn.

      • It would make so much sense you guys! They both have names that are just descriptive job titles. Oh, you’re a king AND a princess? That’s so holy and chaotic that you must be an angel.
        Anyway, thanks for your appreciation of our convo! :) and Clara such talented instigators

    • I’m feeling oatmeal maple cookies, but I do have brownies fixings already measured out 🤔

    • I probably won’t bake cookies for a while (just bought another box of Thin Mints), but I do plan to make some tortillas from scratch…

      (jaja but really, they’re so much more delicious that way)

    • Ginger snaps for sure, and then like a quiche or something a few days from now when I get bored

  2. With many of us being quarantined, and all the tv shows getting ready to go into hiatus, I say that it’s time for a ship tournament.
