FRIDAY OPEN THREAD: “Orange Is the New Black” is Back, Drop Everything

FRIDAY OPEN THREAD: “Orange Is the New Black” is Back, Drop Everything

This is a very special FOT because it’s going up at midnight. We didn’t think anyone, including us, would be able to contain their Orange is the New Black feelings for that long. I mean, did you see Tumblr when the East Coast realized the episodes don’t drop until 3am their time?

Now I know not everyone can pause everything else in their life to consume this second season as soon as it is…

FRIDAY OPEN THREAD: Your Five-Step Guide to Telling Me Everything

Hello, pinecones and wasp nests! It’s Friday, which means it’s time for our weekly Friday Open Thread,in which we celebrate our weeks together, share stories and photos, and sometimes even reply to one another in the comments! We have a Friday Open Thread every week, which is great because sometimes I am struck with an inconsolable sense of loneliness. Plus, y’all get cuter and cuter every time,…

OPEN THREAD: A-Camp 5.0 Happened So Now Let’s Talk About How Much We Miss Each Other

The thing about camp is that time just flies! It just whizzes right by you — it seems like the first day of camp will never arrive, and then it’s right there in front of you, all the smiling faces and pranks and poems and feelings and costumes and then you’re exhausted and the altitude is so much but also you’re hungry and SO ALIVE. Today we had to leave the mountain and therefore there is a…

FRIDAY OPEN THREAD: I’m Reading A Newspaper As We Speak, Even Though It Might Be Frowned Upon

Hey there, rocket men / women / people! When are you gonna come down? I hope it’s soon, because it’s time for the Friday Open Thread, every Friday’s legendary girl-on-girl Internet party. It’s BYOB, but, like, that is totally balanced out by the scene, y’know? We have a Friday Open Thread every week, most likely because a lot of us would rather sit at the computer than embark on journeys out-of-doors (is it just me?) but also because you’re all so cute that I just wanna pinch your cheeks and I can’t imagine myself doing that without first creating a safe space in which you can post photos of those cute faces as well as your pets. Especially your pets.

FRIDAY OPEN THREAD: I’m Diving Into The Little Mermaid and I Don’t Wanna Do It Alone

FRIDAY OPEN THREAD: I’m Diving Into The Little Mermaid and I Don’t Wanna Do It Alone

Welcome to this week’s Friday Open Thread! A place for feelings, friendship and photos of pets, people or objects that happens to be around you. There’s one of these every week, but, much like snowflakes, no two are the same.

To continue the brave tradition of open thread hosts posting pictures of themselves and their loved ones, here is my girlfriend Shannon looking hot as fuck, which is what I wanted to do with her at the time this photo was taken. (I am the short person next to her, and we were dressed for the ’80s.)

OPEN THREAD: Keeping It Queer in the Suburbs

OPEN THREAD: Keeping It Queer in the Suburbs

Fourteen years ago, I moved out of San Francisco to the suburbs, to shack up with my betrothed. When you do that, move out to the suburbs, San Francisco revokes your queer credibility card at the westernmost point of the Bay Bridge. San Francisco looks at you with an expression part pity, part genuine concern and asks, “What’s it going to be like for you out there?” as if you’re moving to the unforgiving Sahara, sans provisions. At least that’s what it was like fourteen years ago.

FRIDAY OPEN THREAD: Every Last Nook and Cranny

Happy Friday, passengers, and welcome to the ride of your life! It’s been seven days since our last Friday Open Thread, which happen every Friday whether you like it or not, and I’m here to apply low to moderate social pressure on you in order to solicit your feedback below. Just kidding! What I really want is for you to fork over photos of your pets, new kitchen appliances, and really amazing perfect humans in your life – and stories about them and everything under the sun – in the comments.

But first, can we please ooh and ahh over Rori Midhani’s genius.

Hello all you people out there! Welcome to the MTV Movie Awards! A show where the most important award is for Best Kiss. I hope girls kissing girls wins!

9:15om EST: I’m off to a late start this evening due to a hilarious mix of lack of cable and a little slip up involving leaving the gas stove on. Looks like Conan did something with his face. That’s always… fine.

FRIDAY OPEN THREAD: No, But Seriously, I Just Missed You Is All, Tell Me Everything

Y’all! You ALL! You great, big, beautiful dolls! I am so happy that your luminous face is looking upon ye olde Friday Open Threadthis week, wherein I beg you to give me a glimpse into your life in hopes that you’ll share photos of your pet – because if you show me yours, I get to show you mine. We have a Friday Open Thread every week, mostly because I’ve aged 10 years in the span of two and I like to give myself a reason to stay in. Last week, the one and only B (who is hilarious) hosted this very virtual meetup all by herself, and she made me damn proud. This week, I’m back to get it crack-a-lackin’.

FRIDAY OPEN THREAD: Are You the Next Host of ‘Late Show’?

It’s time for another Friday Open Thread! It’s a place for feelings, opinions, and even nonsensical strings of letters if that’s what you’re into at this moment in time. There will be an open thread every Friday, as Carmen has mentioned before. Unfortunately I don’t have a girlfriend, cute dog, or nacho recipes to share. I understand this is a step down but please love me anyway, I NEED THIS.

Hello, mason jars full of sweet tea! Welcome to this week’s Friday Open Thread, in which we spend our nights hanging out with each other instead of the rest of the world. From now on, we’ll have a Friday Open Thread every Friday, kind of like how I have bottomless mimosas every Sunday.
