Hello winners! I’m so happy to see you! Especially since I’m fresh out of a two hour meeting about Federal tax compliance. It didn’t even include snacks. How rude. Luckily things are much more exciting here in the ‘straddleverse. This week Autostraddle was nominated for a GLAAD award in the “Best Blog” category for the second year in a row! Then Riese and Laneia also shared the website’s origin story that led to the creation of Autostraddle as we know it (trigger warning: it involves IFC).
Chelsea continued give terrible Lifetime movies the recap treatment. This week’s selection was the murder-bore Lizzie Borden Took An Axe. Then Ali tried to make sense of Dogecoin and Rachel explained why The X-Files is everything. We also shared alternative names for the Sunday’s massive sporting event which can not be named and found out that it’s hard to be a gay cat in Nigeria.

I’m still not over Monique’s comment or how many people find dinosaur facts a turn on. It just gives me hope that I’ll find someone who thinks that dinosaurs are as sensual as I do.
Can we make dinosaur facts a *thing* in the lesbian community? Like how cats and bowties and brunch are a *thing*?
Because by making it a *thing* we will significantly increase all of our chances of getting to hear dinosaur facts whilst naked
I am with you 100% and I think it just requires combining dinosaurs with something that the community already loves, like plaid or Oxford shoes. I mean, who doesn’t picture a t-rex in flannel and think ‘holy shit that’s cool and also, whoops, there goes my pants”?
That’s all we’ll talk about and then BAM! mission accomplished, dinosaur facts during sexytimes.
Commence take-over of the A-Camp/Autostraddle social group. THE REVOLUTION BEGINS TODAY.
I hear all of this and wish River Island had stocked my size of dino-boxers the day I went in because I will forever feel the loss of not owning them…although I have a dinosaur onesie…which was an anniversary gift. Dinosaurs are so a thing.
Thank you for turning my heart-break dealing with my parents much better with this comment award!
Congrats to all the awardees! I super-salute you because this week’s articles overloaded me with so many feelings I couldn’t form sentences.
Now that I’m on this list, my life is complete. I can die peacefully, knowing I achieved all that can be achieved.
THEY DO MOVE IN HERDS i am so glad that comment made this post because i laughed so hard i think i stopped breathing
Well that just made my week. Thank you Autostraddle!
WOO! I’m so excited that Allen made it on to Autostraddle!
