Oh hey there. Did I just see you on Autostraddle’s new social networking feature? Do you, uh.. wanna go on a picnic with me? What if I bring some of these hot chicks? What about then? Also I know some people who are making a cool webseries, maybe we can invite them too. If all else fails, we can just learn the Judas dance and start a dance party.
Also I didn’t know how to fit this in, but Sebastian wrote this really great article about his newfound heteronormative privilege, and Sarah totally warmed our hearts with this story about students protesting their anti-gay graduation speaker.
(Also I can’t believe it took me this long to make a Friday joke?!)
