Do you live in Sydney? Autostraddle contributor Stef Mitchell is having a photo exhibition on August 19 and you’re invited!
If you think the realm of fantasy might defy our real world gender policing, think again! How Dragon Age: Origins, World of Warcraft and Xbox Live want me to be a size 2 scantily-clad elf and I just…

My girlfriend has a habit of talking about her exes. She’s bisexual. It only bothers me when she talks about the guys and I feel guilty about that. Like I’m prejudiced. Thoughts?
a) i really, literally love you b/c obvs you read autostraddle and therefore we have several things in common
like, reading autostraddle
so
it pains me to say
b) yeah, you’re being an ass
stop it.
Do you have any pets?
i used to have a cat but she died right before i left for bonnaroo.
now i will never have a cat again
and you’ll see why
on autostraddle
next friday.
how many of these questions do you have/get? any q’s you won’t answer? which type of questions are your favorite?
i value specificity
but also
vagueness
and lyrical references
the most unanswered questions i’ve ever had was 90
and to be honest
if i haven’t answered a question
it’s likely because i don’t feel qualified
there’s one i’ve tried to respond to for over a month
and i can’t
because all i really want to do
is hold her
Why did you once weigh 145 lbs?
one day i started hurting a lot
my body
this went on eventually for months
nothing worked right really
i was 19 or 20 so i figured this was me
growing up and becoming whatever size person
a person becomes
but i guess it wasn’t, it was just that year when i got sick and eventually couldn’t physically move at all, which is
terrifying
then i was diagnosed with fibro
and put in treatment
and went back to how i was before i got sick
so i guess this is how i am, after all
idk
[i’m 5'10, though, so i should be 145, that would be ‘healthy’ too. i mean really any weight at all is healthy, B/C BMI IS NONSENSE i hope you know that, you know that, right? do you read kate harding? you should, she’s perfect]
I think you are awesome. I’m glad you have a Formspring, because it reminds me of when I started listening to you like 4 years ago. And it’s been a long, crazy ride since then. I’m supposed to ask a question. What are you having for dinner tonight?
tonight i had hummus and toasted flatbread
and later
i’ll wish i had a taco
i hate holidays. does having kids make them better or worse? not that i would have children to make holidays happier, less lonely or more bearable, just curious about the future.
when i moved out and away, i realized that the only thing great about the fourth of july was that my grandmother made homemade ice cream and my younger cousins ran around with sparklers.
and the best part of thanksgiving was my grandmother’s chicken & dumplings and red velvet cake.
and the best part of christmas was her tree.
and the only reason my birthdays were amazing was because my mother woke me up at 5:26 a.m. to tell me she loved me
and when you’re not there
where you used to be
or people die
which they do
nothing is the same.
so having kids makes things better and worse
because you have to be better
but sometimes you don’t want to be
but, you know, sometimes you do
I am confident around women I’m not attracted to, who in turn I guess want me naked and buy me drinks. Usually cougars. They want me to go home with them but I want to go home with the girls whose shoes I stare at. It’s fucking debilitating, help me.
just take the cougar’s energy from them and use it to pounce on those shoes like a tiger
I LOVE WEAREALLMADEOFKITTENS MORE THAN MANY OTHER THINGS. SO MANY OF THE THINGS. THANK ALL THE BABY DEITIES FOR YOU, RIESE.
