Hello, you perfect people! We’re five days in to a whole new year! I just want to say that YOU ARE DOING SO WELL! You are a brave and wondrous creature and I love that you’re here. We’ll do this year together.

This week, Ellen Page and Emma Portner interpretive danced right into marital bliss. I’ve actually got an exclusive photo from their marriage, which I am thrilled to share right here!

Ellen Page and Emma Portner dancing. Interpretively.

Riese did this huge thing for us! I think you should read it! In 2017, Lesbian and Bisexual TV Characters Did Pretty OK, and That’s a Pretty Big Deal.

I continue to not believe in horoscopes, but also this one was spot on, because Corina’s a genius, and starting off your new year with a brilliant, insightful pep talk can’t be a bad idea.

If we are what we read, this is who you are, Straddlers!

Mey’s got all the comics we need to put in our faces in 2018.

Here’s the peak lesbian content you’ve been looking for: Style Thief: How to Dress Like Riverdale’s Jughead Jones.

Is being team #jughead going to be like being obsessed with Devon Sawa or Leo for the next generation of pre-out lesbians?

The Made It Through the Garbage Fire Somehow Award to Allison:

Way to go Carmen! I’m so glad a bunch of these posts are personal essays and news/politics articles. I love everything ya’ll write about television, movies and celebrities, obviously, but I’m happy that the other stuff is getting the credit and eyeballs it deserves as well. Thanks to everyone at Autostraddle for another amazing year of quality queer content – I couldn’t have made it through this garbage fire of a year without you!
