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

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

hi it’s me again. i got the black nail polish like you said. i was going to get really dark plum instead b/c that felt more ‘me,’ but it was fucking iridescent (ikr wtf), so i just went with black. are you sure i’m not going to look like a poseur?

in 2006 my psychiatrist asked me why i wrote black nail polish and if it meant i was goth and i said ‘because of lindsay lohan’ and that was before i even knew she was gay

I feel now’s the time for someone with a good voice – hopeful but careful, snarky but tender, ridiculously mind-blowingly intelligent, quick, and clever, queer in sensibility, not gay but also not hetero-normative, not women-targeted but mostly women-staffed – to emerge and start something really new and spectacular that actually takes prior internet-media lessons learned and applies all of them from the get-go. ‘Cause here’s what we’ve been left with: the surviving media is either sarcastic or old-school, the failing media ran the gamut but often was twitching for tradition, the mainstream sources remain as they’ve always been (dumb). What about something that actually speaks our language? 'Cause we have one, and it’s a little bit newer, but also kinda awesome, and valid. It’s diverse and expresses itself in every format we can touch or see or find. We are infinite.

I feel as though Autostraddle has truly changed the world for so many people.
