Hey there, campers! Did you see the big news about Autostraddle’s next special issue? I am so excited! This is going to be so good! I can’t wait to read your brilliant writing about the great outdoors! Hiking in it! Swimming in it! Having sex in it! Maybe even all three! Maybe even two of those things at once! (I am so sorry, I’m a little under the weather and I think my fever wrote this intro.)
Onward!
This week, Riese and Kristin premiered their new podcast, To L and Back, and not only did we get to hear Be Steadwell’s entire cover of the intro song, which sent me into outer space, we were also reminded that ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE SEE IN THE PILOT IS BETTE AND TINA TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT TINA IS OVULATING AND HOW SEXY THAT IS and yes.

Speaking of teen (witches), Casey’s got a shiny new list of queer books for kids and young adults! I will be reading all of these!
Molly Shannon playing Emily Dickinson sounds like a fever dream I’ll probably have tonight, but in fact it is the best lesbian comedy Heather’s ever seen. I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS.
