The Comment Awards Just Really Love Bees

Hello! Here’s a math problem for you: if I go to Trader Joe’s a couple of times a week, and I’ve picked up the habit of buying a plant every time I go…exactly at what point does this habit start to be an issue? I JUST WANT TO GROW A VERDANT, HAPPY WORLD, it’s all I want!

This week, KaeLyn wrote about motherhood and abortion access.

Valerie Anne put together this absolutely bananas amazing list of the 100 best LGBTQ+ sci-fi and fantasy TV shows of all time. I’m gonna watch ’em all!!

THE L WORD: GENERATION Q CONCLUDED in a finale I cannot spoil in any way because I have friends who still haven’t caught up! (If that’s you, stop reading now — one of the comments included below totally spoils the finale!)

This was a real gift, from Ranea: The Lunar New Year Coming Out Letter I’ll Never Send To My Mom.

Y’all are experts at…everything. 

For the Speakeasy, queer writers of color wrote about Generation Q, what they loved to see, and what they’re still waiting for. 

Lovers, friends, compatriots: we’re getting a fisting emoji.

Drew wrote about Work In Progress and about being…too much.

And then there were your comments!

  1. The Idgie Threadgoode award! As a tomboy who identified very much with Idgie and had a huge crush on a real Ruth (from theatre group) and Ruth Jamison – and asked my mom several insistent questions about their relationship, I’m ridiculously proud.

  2. That’s some excellent work by Ava, thank you. Also, choosing Ontario to me means they boh wanted to save on a flight. Just one question though, if she chooses Finney does that mean she bought a ticket right on the spot?

  3. Aaaaaaaaa! Nice! Thanks!

    Roses are red, Tess in priest’s bed is also one for the anthologies. Now I’m imagining a cheesy not in proper form haiku collection for Gen Q. With illustrations, of course. Hmm.
