The Comment Awards Are Sleeping With Their Ex. Maybe. Possibly.

Hello, my loves! Because I care so much about you, I think it’s important that I tell you this thing that I learned: you can eat Girl Scout cookies in the bathtub. And you should probably do that this weekend! Just make up a little bowl of your cookie of choice and balance it on the ledge of the tub and get all nice and warm and read and eat cookies to your heart’s content! It will change your life, I swear to god.

This week, Carmen kicked off Black History Month with some words on black queer resiliency.

Ellen Page has had enough.

Heather wrote about the season finale of Steven Universe, and healed my heart.

Kayla wants you to re-read the books you read in middle school.

This is relevant to your interests: 33 Literary Books With Great Lesbian Sex Inside Them.

Rachel loved Russian Doll, and so will you.

Courtney wrote a real-world guide to sleeping with your ex, which is the gayest thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life, and I’m so here for it. (THE GUIDE. I’m so here for the GUIDE. Meanwhile, I am QUITE ambivalent about the action. IT HAS NOT WORKED OUT GREAT FOR ME. Just sayin’!)

Because they love us and want to see us happy, the team talked about how we figure out what is — and isn’t — a date.

Reneice brought us 23 Black Queer and Trans Femmes to Follow on Instagram This Black History Month.

And then there were your comments!

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Notes Award to Isabel:

In 8th grade I was desperately in love with a girl from a different school, and she and I would pass my copy of Traveling Pants back and forth, pretending to read it, but really sending each other notes hidden between the pages. The texture of the cover ALONE makes me blush.

And the God Friended Me Award to starlit:

Okay, not only were Meg Cabot’s books my entire world throughout sixth and seventh grade, but I’ve also kept rereading them!!! And it’s so good!! Really brings me back to earlier, simpler times.

        • Chairing is dangerous! Chairs should come with warning labels.

          “Do not attempt to chair and adult at the same time.”
          “Chairs: Not for off-label use.”
          “Chairs: Not actually an anti-grav device.”
          “Add number of legs of chair and number of legs of people attempting to chair in chair. Divide by integer of your choice. At least this number of legs (people or chair) should remain on the ground at all times.”
          “Chairs: Do you dare?”

          • Ha! This is very helpful.

            So in answer to your question on the other thread, I CAN chair in that I can use one without falling over or off. But I am a very squirmy chair user – sitting in chairs is not very comfortable and I am into being comfortable!
