Hi there, friend! You know when days are good for no particular reason? It’s summery here (sorry, East Coasters), A-Camp is less than a month away, and I’ve made the decision to never, ever taste Cola flavored La Croix! Things are lookin’ up.

Speaking of camp, this Campership comes with airfare, it’s from one of my very favorite organizations, and the deadline is tonight at 11:59 PM PST! You know that little voice inside you that’s telling you to go for it? GO FOR IT!

This week, Reneice baked a double chocolate banana bread so decadent and perfect looking that I have craved it every night since I first laid eyes on it.

Rachel answered a complex question with so much insight and grace, it knocked my socks off: what do you do when you find yourself falling for a man?

Queer crosswords: You know you want ’em. (I’ve got my set already and omg, they are BRILLIANT.)

Valerie Anne wrote about Legends of Tomorrow, and how it’s become one of the best queer shows on TV! I’d better start watching.

THIS IS AN L-WORD STYLE CHART OF SUFFRAGETTES WHO SLEPT TOGETHER. It is also so much more. Well done, Sister Sally.

And then there were your comments!

On FRIDAY OPEN THREAD: What Cartoon Turned You Gay?

The Dinglehoppered Award to Mikayla, Mey and Diana:

Oh my god, so many. Sailor Jupiter, obvs, and Anastasia, and Tzipporah from Prince of Egypt, and Esmeralda, and Kida from Atlantis, and Katara, and also this specific bit of The Little Mermaid: [gif of the Little Mermaid looking sexi AF on land]. DISNEY HAS A LOT TO ANSWER FOR.

Mey: That part turned me trans. / Diana: Seriously Mey, is there any trans girls who aren’t like totally obsessed with the little mermaid, She gave up her singing voice to be the real her! As someone who loved Karaoke before transition that one really touches me!

On Boob(s On Your) Tube: Jane the Virgin’s Petra and JR Are Just So Damn In Love:

The Melts In Your Mouth Award to Rous Rose:

Just in case anyone missed one of the MOST IMPORTANT moments in TV history: Thank you for the JtV recap, Heather! I agree with everything you’ve written. It’s completely irresponsible and downright dangerous to get invested in Petramos, but let’s be honest here: I’ve been a hopeless case from the moment Rosario Dawson walked on screen.

On Also.Also.Also: Bend It Like Beckham (Still), Queer Kids in 4-H and Other Stories for Your Week:
