OMFG. My super gorgeous philosophy professor just took me out for coffee. And…she’s lesbian.
is this about the book club? because we have a post for that, if we ever have a website again you should definitely leave a comment on it
I know how you guys said that it was fixed, but Autostraddle isn’t working in chrome or IE anymore and it’s making me want to cry. How else am I supposed to get my fix?
uh no, we’re not fixed. we’re switching servers today/yesterday which allegedly is going to fix all of our problems.
i can’t see the website either, or the wordpress dashboard, or any of the work i did yesterday afternoon. i can’t edit posts, read posts, or see posts, or think about posts.
i’d tell you when this will get better or change, but all the information i’ve been given so far has not been how it actually works out, so i’m just gonna say that i have no fucking clue.
I write for my school newspaper. I’m a columnist. WHAT IN THE HELL DO I WRITE ABOUT? In a world full of issues I am in a complete brain fuck and can’t think of anything. How silly am I?
i would say “why did you become a columnist if there’s nothing you want to write about” but i guess that would make me look pretty silly, huh. i don’t know. what i’m trying to say is if i knew how to answer this then the daily fix would be done by now. and it’s not
how long will i be a baby dyke? Until I’m 30?
i don’t know i’m 22 and people still think i’m the straight friend when i go to bars, so yeah maybe we both will
“Born This Way” video thoughts?
Oh, you mean The Vagina Madonnalogue? I was actually expecting/hoping for it to have a bit more kick and have a clearer gay theme…. like the Katy Perry/ “Firework” video. I had also read somewhere that she was going to cameo as the male-alter ego, Jo Calderone.. what happened to that? I guess I wanted it to be a more straightforward celebration of being gay (rainbow unicorns notwithstanding).
Also, that unicorn reminded me of the Uh Huh Her video for “Not A Love Song”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ9iPPfOMvM
I’m sure Alex will have a much more comprehensive / entertaining review than this.
PlayDo skinny ties look stupid with v-neck shirts?
ummm, i have a lot of feelings about skinny ties, in general, so i don’t know if i’m qualified to answer this. i see a skinny tie and i just want to pull it towards me and kiss whoever’s on the other side of it. i feel like you could wear a skinny tie with a hawaiian shirt, or maybe a polo, and i would be in a skinny-tie-induced trance.
i don’t even remember what you’re asking because all i can think about is this one girl in a skinny tie with skinny black jeans and these boots and i can’t think. i don’t even ummm…
ask alex.
“like how can someone be a lesbian” n" i know thats so disgusting" were said in front of me today, i wanted to punch them in the fucking mouth. i cant stop thinking about why i didnt say something. i feel soooo guilty for not sticking up for us:(
you should’ve said LIKE THIS and then punched him in the face with your fist and then been like IT’S CALLED FISTING, I GUESS YOU COULDN’T HANDLE IT, HERE’S A KLEENEX FOR YOUR BLOOD
PSA: Since I do not pay for Autostraddle I will wait patiently when it is broken and send good thoughts to Riese and NOT BITCH ABOUT IT. And I suggest all of you do the same, you whiners.
also if you do pay for autostraddle (by donating), feel free to include that in your complaint so that i know not to yell at you
I tried to have sex with a girl, and I say “tried” because I think I did everything wrong because she basically doesn’t want to hang out ever again (based on her lack of enthusiasm with texting and stuff like that) and it was my first time and I was reall
y excited but now I’m just scared and lonely, and worried. And I feel dumb, and things.
——
ok then that wasn’t your first time. that was a practice round. fuck that bitch! i’m sure you did nothing wrong. stop feeling scared and lonely and worried.
here’s the thing: first-time sex with any other person can be awkward or weird, unless you’ve been making out for eons and finally get down to it at which point you already know one another’s every move/bodies. everybody thinks they’re bad in bed at least for the first few years. and some girls have lots of tricks and are very skilled but for most people, it’s just about chemistry, moreso than it is about any one person being “good in bed” or not. that whole thing is just stupid. when i’ve been with someone who wasn’t necessarily pushing all my buttons, i’ve never thought “oh this is over,” i’ve just thought “this will require more communication.” and i assume people have thought the same with me because i definitely have had about 567 un-stellar bedroom moments.
i am trying to say something eloquent, but sometimes it’s just not “there” with somebody, or sometimes someone wants a one-night stand and that’s it, and the greatest gift you can give yourself is to brush your shoulders off and call NEXT.
