The Comment Awards Are So F*cking Thankful For You, And For…Exes?

Nov 29, 2019

Hi, loves! This is a complicated week (follow that link, it’s a Heather Hogan masterpiece) for literally everyone I know, for one reason or another – whether you’re currently negotiating boundaries with family, or working, or enjoying a solid four straight days in your pajamas, I love you and I’m so glad we are in this weird and wild Autostraddle family together! Like truly: I didn’t come out until I was 30, and I didn’t have any gay friends until I was 31, and sometimes I sit straight up and think how even did this happen, what is this life we made somehow, where I know so many incredible people? Baby Queer Girl would not even believe me if I told her how good this life can be, and that goodness? It’s you all.

So! This week, the team brought us a truly epic holiday gift guide.

Meg wrote about the personal power and magic that can be found in Tarot.

Drew…did not love Frozen 2.
