I dream of a coat from Vaute Couture (vautecouture.com) but I also can’t afford one so I just put lots of layers under my wool-free H&M peacoat. But also I don’t live in a climate as cold as Oslo.

Autostraddle has a point of view, and I think that as a website for queer women, it should.

I’m in Oregon so I dropped off my ballot a few days ago at my local library. I am way nervous about some of the state races here though.

Ugh I know. New Cascadia Traditional bread here in Portland is SO GOOD and available at the grocery store near my house, but it is seriously $6.49 for a loaf and goes moldy in two days so I always end up throwing […]

I almost got the really good almost $7 locally made gluten-free bread at the store earlier and then I decided to be responsible and just eat the food I had at home already…if only I knew it was NATIONAL SANDWICH […]

Cried actual tears. I thought I was so sick of these flash mob proposals on YouTube but everything is better when it’s queer.

I wish there was some sort of browser add-on where I could just block comments written by straight men questioning the legitimacy of sex between women. (Yes, you warned me about the comments and I didn’t listen.)

Fun fact: Assuming you grab one of the many types of frosting that happen to be vegan (a lot of Duncan Hines, don’t remember what else) and are mindful of sprinkle ingredients, this is totally vegan.

I had the following conversation with my mom:
“So I’ve been dating someone.”
“Is it a boy or a girl?”
“It’s a girl.”

So that was pretty easy.

My roommate and I recently watched the Katy Perry movie and now we listen to Katy Perry nonstop. I’m not really embarrassed about my love of trashy pop music at all, though. I proudly talk about how much I love […]

I did that all the time!

I loved those books and I’ve never heard anyone else talk about them! I named my pet rabbit Cimorene.

I do this. I didn’t eat for over a week after my past two break-ups, with the exception of the occasional rice cake or creamy soup because that was the only thing I could keep down without vomiting. Though I could […]

I’ve used a diva cup for 6 years now and I get so grossed out when I have to use tampons.

It’s kind of creepy how Gabrielle is so in touch with what my uterus is doing right now.

I usually deal by crying a lot, Also, taking baths and crying more, and visualizing myself being able to leave my body […]

I’m not quite sure if this is what you meant, but I want to make sure that we’re not referring to transmen as some kind of subset of lesbian, since they’re men. Obviously there are also masculine-of-center […]

As someone who is eternally optimistic wrt people’s intentions, I’ll assume you meant “Cool, another piece about trans issues! Just wondering, is there any particular reason why there have been a bunch of posts […]

We’re gonna be there! <3

I get so excited about queer people who believe in animal rights too, because being vegan and being feminist and being queer are so intertwined for me.
