See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

do you love this time of year in mass? warm enough to be outside in a sweatshirt, birds coming back, don’t need a face mask under a hardhat, enough snow melted to wear boots in the woods, forest animals starting to get busy. and sugar shacks!

it actually just started snowing outside my window so i think i’m going to go cry/stick my face in a bowl of soup instead. but yes, i do love the time of year you are describing when it actually occurs

Ask Rachel a thing

I appear to only be attractive in a heterosexy way, rather than a homosexy way. What can I do about this? I don’t wanna wear massive jeans and a lip ring…

unfortunately there is no other way to look attractive in a homosexy way than to wear massive jeans and a lip ring. MASSIVE, okay? make sure they’re massive. that’s the most important part. then the girls’ll come-a-runnin’. I know it seems gross now, but you’ll get used to it, like your period.

I am so sick of the internet echo chamber where news stories and memes and articles get written about in every publication I read because they have overlapping demographics and figure it might be interesting; my favorite thing about autostraddle is that

you guys have a very clearly defined voice/point of view that makes your linkage of that sort of stuff interesting on its own merits. I appreciate you.

thank you, that is exactly what we’re trying to do so yay!

Riese, she doesn’t have a sense of irony and she has a really big nose. I am not attracted to her face. But I admire her, she is a beautiful person inside. I don’t think I knew what that meant before her. She wrote me that she’s in love with me. I don’t

know what to do because we’ve been fucking on and off for about 9 months but seeing other people. My reasons for breaking it off would be superficial (i’m not attracted to her face) but I dont want to hurt her. Should I break it off?
——————————————

i tend to believe
that if you’re really in love with a person
they are beautiful to you
faults become quirks
you just get so grateful
that this body has decided
to hold this person’s
thoughts and love and personality together
so that you can hang out with it

i might be naive, though
or wrong/naive
or just wrong

quit playing games with her heart,
would be my advice.

It’s my 28th birthday. Ive been single for 10yrs. I’m the only gay in the village & I don’t believe that my friends/family understand. The last girl I was with told everyone that I was “nothing but an easy lay”. I’m afraid that I will be alone forever.

:(
You need to get the hell out of that village. There are so many other villages where you will find friends/new ‘family’ that understand. And cute girls to date.

Ask Alex anything

today, i feel prouder to be me than i ever have. i think its a high after the lady gaga concert. how can i make it stay?

get a journal or notebook. write ‘NOTE TO SELF’ at the top of the piece of paper and write 'REMEMBER THIS FEELING YOU ARE FEELING’ at the end. in the middle, describe your feeling. every time you feel sad, look at that page and remember that it exists.
