Riese’s Team Pick: Remember that time the Obama administration wrote a 31-page ruling validating everything gays & lesbians have been through in this country? I do and it was glorious.
it’s 3:31 AM here and I just made guacamole and I’m eating it with crackers. It made my life a bit better. There’s light at the end of the tunnel.
yes i feel like ‘the promise of guacamole’ is a solid reason to keep fighting the good fight.
iced tea. i need something new - do you have any suggestions?
iced tea with orange slices and mint is maybe the second best thing you’ll ever put in your mouth.
my work doesn’t block autostraddle even though it has a content filter and that makes me appreciate my work.
i, too, appreciate your work.

Around how soon can we expect the new AS shirts if we put orders in those first few frantic days? (Continental US)
I am trying to fill these orders out as fast as one person can with a full-time job and no printer. I am putting the last half of the orders in the mail this week. Which is exciting. I can’t tell when you’ll get it but I promise I am spending all my extra free time on it to get to you as soon as I physically can! :) Thanks for ordering

threesomes, what are your feelings?
um. well. WELL! threesomes. hm. threeeeeesomeeeees. i’m trying to think of any general feelings i can share on this topic, because actually i’ve had um, multiple experiences with this fine fine activity and JESUS WHY DO I GET ALL THE SEX QUESTIONS – so, well!
it really depends.
i can only speak from my own experience – my orientation, my gender, my relationship-style – and i’m not poly so i can’t speak from that experience. this is just me.
every dynamic’s gonna be different, whether you’re having sex with one other person or two. threesomes are just like regular sex in that way, and also like regular sex, your gender/orientation/relationship style could also be a variant.
i’d imagine it’s most complicated when you add a third into an already-existing relationship – but when executed smoothly and consensually all around, is fun!… and consequently it seems threesomes are least complicated when nobody’s got any real strings attached anywhere or some circumstance dictates it’s a one-time thing.
sometimes a threesome dynamic can become a big mess of feelings where someone gets hurt, but i guess that’s the risk you take. three is a tricky number. i want to tell you that having a threesome with the same two people more than once is almost always a bad idea, but by “bad” i mean “emotionally irresponsible” and that’s what life is. you kiss all the girls and then you see what happens.
rachel, i have a broken heart for someone who i might not ever see again. how do i get over it aside from watching gilmore girls? :(
go on a combination scavenger hunt/ice cream crawl and when you come back home watch more gilmore girls. you can call your mom to talk about your feelings but you can’t can’t can’t call her.
How do you feel about lesbians dating someone with the same name? Awkward? Weird? Cute?
this is actually like one of my greatest fears. i don’t have many/any ‘dealbreakers’ but in my heart of hearts i feel like if someone has the same name as me i just can’t do it
There’s even a martini recipe!
