Hello Dunebuggies!
Have you signed up for the Autostraddle Weekly yet?! I have! The first one has already found its way to my inbox. And as of today I haven’t seen my inbox that happy since I figured out how to send all the Viagra ads directly to Spam.
This has possibly been The Week of the Gal Pal. Stef reminded us of 2015’s Gal Pals of the year. Speaking of gal pals…Jill Soloway (of Transparent fame) and Eileen Miles (of Eileen Miles fame) are together and here’s more Holland Taylor and Sarah Paulson.
Heather Hogan continues to blow everyone’s SAD minds. Thinking about raising kids, biological or otherwise? There’s a Roundtable on that. The Editors answered some A+ questions. We learned about some brilliant STEM Straddlers. Yay protons!
Aja told us about the best leggings and jeggings and treggings. And don’t worry. You’re not alone. I, too, had to google “treggings.”
And there were gift ideas for darn near everyone on your list…witches, cat lovers, gentlequeers.
Also dogs! And Comments!

It’s entirely possibly I comment too much.
Also, yes, Jane, that was exactly what everyone was thinking.
lol *entirely possible
NO.
Unless you are here to hate, it’s not possible at all!
Please don’t ever stop commenting.
queer girl! if you ever stopped commenting there would be a gaping hole in my heart. for reals.
You’re not commenting enough
OH MY GOD I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE PROUD / HONORED!!! I FINALLY MADE IT!

Oh.my.god. That face! This is possibly the most photogenic dog in all the land.
I’m officially a fan of your dog.
If the wolf ever needs an instagram follower, hit me up.

My heart
Hello handsome fella
Hope you’re doing well
I want to hug him SO BAD.
I think this is maybe the first comment award I’ve gotten that wasn’t from me saying something really embarrassing. feels good!
xoxo, you guys!
You are the very best and most supportive bunch of virtual pals a gal can have!
And you obviously create a space safe and inspiring enough for poetry, I hope you take that as a thank you for offering that space,too, Heather.
Again, xoxo and have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
I LOVE YOU ALL
We love you too
