Things that aren’t animals, between breads!
we’ve been together for four years. and all of a sudden she HAS to move in. i don’t want to live together. i’m 22 and i like my space. how do you do you when in a (lesbian) relationship?
get an apartment with separate bedrooms
so you have your own space and can do with it as you please.
and every night when you’re alone,
write in a journal so you remember who you are
and what you think
without her
So Jess G. went to dinah shore with you?
this made me LOL for real. jess G did not come. the jess who came with us to dinah is actually a THIRD jess who does not write for autostraddle. she’s an LA friend of alex/sarah croce’s. you just might see more of her in calendar girls 2012!
When I have gay-related feelings, I go to you guys with them. It’s like you’re my lesbian mommies. But I want my real mommy! I want her to be someone it’s ok to go. I totally get the irony in sending this to you. :/
i get this, i really do
i wish your mom could be that for you too. i wish all of us had that. but we don’t. this is how things are: we take care of each other when our real families can’t or won’t. we are all each other’s family now. queer is thicker than water, and even when it can never be enough we’ll still be here, all of us. i love you
Not brand new…what grade level do you want to teach? Elementary, jr. high, high school, university?
high school
but also
when i was in 7th/8th grade
i was so profoundly depressed
so MONUMENTALLY miserable
like just existing felt
impossible and made me
anxious and sad
and i told myself when i got out of that period
and felt better
that i would dedicate a significant portion of my adulthood
to helping as many girls as possible
to not feel that way
at that time
that way being ‘the feeling of seventh grade’
there’s a lot of studies on it
how that’s when girls change tracks
so.
jr. high & high school
whew! that was a long answer!
i think i could teach college without a teaching degree
someone should hire me now
she (friend) only misses me/makes an effort when i actively distance myself from her. is it okay to play games just a little bit?
no of course not
but you should anyhow
somehow i feel like playing someone’s game
when they think stupidly that they’re the only ones who even notice that it’s on
somehow gets some of the power back
Have a problem with your family being ‘shitty’ to your trans cousin? Sebastian can help.
when was the last time you cried?
it was last year, during the NYC Pride parade. there were so many people and blocked off streets that i couldn’t find my way to the rest of the Autostraddle team. A;ex was on the phone trying to figure out my location but i don’t think she could hear me or understand my accent or something and so we agreed that i was lost and that they couldn’t help me and i sat in the gutter of whereverthefuck street and completely lost my shit.
it wasn’t about that. an hour beforehand I’d said goodbye to a very special girl who i didn’t want to say goodbye to and i guess it took a while to hit. when was the last time you cried?
Is there anything wrong with “vanilla sex?”
yes, it’s the #1 cause of flesh eating viruses, scabies, rabies, mumps and acid indigestion. never do it. actually the worst part is you could get pregnant and then you’d be a lesbian with a baby and everyone would be like, who got you pregnant, the marshmallow man? and nobody wants that. not for a baby, not for drugs, not for the future. if you really want to be happy you should wrap yourself in latex and get whipped by a man in a pony outfit.
Do you know the feeling you’re so sleepy you can’t get around to going to bed? Ugh. Any Riese approved fixes for that?
see that happens to me all the time
i hate it
the only fix i’ve found is to have someone get really angry at you about it
