Happy Friday, buttercups! I hope all of you have weekends that are as gentle and perfect as that Youtube video of a grandma teaching a tiny baby ASL.
This week, Barb (well, Shannon Purser) really truly came out!
Alyssa melted my heart, and yours.
Siobhan asked that age-old question: How come when two human shapes made of petrified ash are assumed to be female, they’re just gal pals, but when it turns out they may be male, they’re automatically lovers?
Vanessa’s hiking the PCT — and taking us along for the journey!
From Heather: All I Want From Pretty Little Liars’ Final Season Is For a Man to Be Held Accountable For Literally Anything.
In her continued campaign to be my favorite celebrity in literally every way, Samira Wiley’s repping Autostraddle on her honeymoon.
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow, Molly’s marching.

Aww, thank you! I knew my study abroad would pay off somehow :)
Plus my career path and cooking skills and stuff. But mostly this.
So many promising career paths lead directly to the Comment Awards!
I missed a pun thread? *pouts* Aw, shucks.
And it was a great one too
Also yeah can we please TALK about the fact that all anthropologists or archeologists or whatever seem to think that the ash or lava caught the peeps in Pompeii in medias res instead of, oh I don’t know, in “holy shit it’s the end of the world” poses?
I walked over the Ponte Vecchio with my ex who I still had feelings for at the time.
Never realized the Lesbian potential of that bridge.
Right? Much better than the Bridge of Sighs Over Straight Girls
Which would be every other bridge out there, I guess?
P.S.: Do you know this Aria?

Lauretta’s father is not happy with her choice in lover, so she threatens to throw herself into the Arno off the Ponte Vecchio.
Mio Babbino Caro is also a pretty beautiful and famous piece of music, btw.
Oh my goodness!
Last time I was this proud of myself was when I went to see Hidden Figures in the cinema and managed to refrain from aggressively screaming at Sheldon Cooper and upsetting the other viewers (who were all elderly people) (it was a daytime showing).
Thank you, Queer Girl!
I laughed out loud at the image of Heather congratulating herself on that article. Well-deserved!
My love for Dorothy Snarker knows no bounds.

I wish the comments from las week’s comment award post had gotten comment awards.
Comment-ception
Hah, I didn’t realize there were two people going by Em! Glad my contribution to the Pompeii thread sparked some laughs (I cannot stop with the fire-related puns) and kudos to the other Em for that excellent Barb comment. Perhaps I’ll change my display name to avoid confusion.
