Things I Read That I Love #133: I Cannot Confirm or Deny That I May Have Kissed Two or Three or Maybe Even Five of Them
HELLO and welcome to the 133rd installment of Things I Read That I Love, wherein I share with you some of the longer-form journalism/essays I’ve read recently so that you can read them too and we can all know more about hospice care! This “column” is less feminist/queer focused than the rest of the site because when something is feminist/queer focused, I put it on the rest of the site. Here is…
FRIDAY OPEN THREAD: I Want To See The Pictures You Took This Week!
FRIDAY OPEN THREAD: I Want To See The Pictures You Took This Week!
Yayyayayay! It’s finally Friday, which means it is time for the Friday Open Thread! Your hair looks so good good today. How has your week been? My week has been bananas! I am glad it is finally the weekend and I don’t have to wake up at 5:30am for two days (just kidding I’m jinxing myself to be wide awake at 6am by saying that).
This week, I seemed to have a lot going on. Well, you know what they…

My Little Sister Fights The Patriarchy Like A Girl
Feature image from “All About That Bass.”
The coolest, smartest, fiercest, prettiest, snarkiest, loveliest girl in the whole world lives in upstate New York and she’s 17 years old. Everyone else can probably just pack it up and go home now. My little sister is the best at everything— including all the hobbies I thought I was reasonably good at, but apparently, I am not. Figure skating? Check.…

Greetings cowgirls and cowbois! Today is a good day because it’s sunnier than ever in my town and I’m heading to a science museum right after work tonight. What the heck are you up to?
In this week’s examples of the government being the worst, we have the Supreme Court putting a stop on 35 foot buffer zones between abortion clinic protesters and patients and a Senate delay that’s threatening…

So there’s this thing — in kinky culture, it tends to be called “headspace.” It’s when you are swimming in the whatever role you’re in, dominant or submissive, top or bottom. It could be “bottom space” or “dom space” or “little space” or “puppy space” or whatever kind of space you are seeking or playing within. It’s often what people aim for when we…

Autostraddle has a playlist entitled "Discovering Your Ex Is A Shitty Person" my god how did they know that this was what I would need omg omg <3
every so often i sit down and read all the autostraddle articles i possibly can to fill the holes in my life caused by not being able to live up to my full queer potential

Instead, I’m finding myself drawn to mopey women with guitars, plodding dance beats and navel-gazing, introspective lyrics. Let’s crank up the air conditioning, write in our journals and think about our emotions. I will make you an Arnold Palmer.

There are more YA books with queer characters and themes than ever before, but almost no mainstream adult fiction with the same:
“Gayness, like actual gayness (versus the unremittingly pleasant kind you might encounter through Modern Family, Ellen, or a David Sedaris audiobook), well, it just doesn’t sell. This issue, when…

Pretty Little Liars Recap 503: Coincidences Happen
Why hello there and welcome to the hour a week we suspend disbelief and go on a campy little ride through a town in Pennsylvania where no one ever tells the truth or wears a coat! Let’s jump right in, shall we?
Ali is feelin’ the feels.
Ali has been unable to get out of bed since she found out her mother is dead. She needs some intense self-care. I’d recommend journaling but you know that shit…

Wilder Hungers: Balsamic Strawberry, Rhubarb, and Chia Pudding
Hi Straddlers and Happy Summer!
Summer Shenanigans are in full force right now around these parts. A glimpse of what I’ve been up to lately:
1) I had a 20-mile bike excursion with my girlfriend and saw parts of NYC that I’ve never seen before. This was all part of our summer bucket list which says that we have to ride more bikes (It also says we have to cook an entire meal over an open fire by…
