Every time I finish reading a book, I get to work on its tiny counterpart. Now I’ve got a shelf full of minis that make me happy every single time I look at them. Wanna make one with me?

I hope this recipe helps you have the bite and bug-free summer of your gay little dreams!

In which our A+ members get advice from the AS Team on a recent mental health diagnosis, insecurity about a girlfriend’s bisexuality, climate grief, cutting your own hair, some stellar showering advice, and more!

From no-sew options to fancy patterns, there are a lot of options.

I don’t know about you, but every single year when the cold depressing months come around, I cheer myself up by putting together a list of potential crafts I could do to pass the time.

90s queer punk / counterculture / DIY books coming up!

(Jeff Goldblum voice) “Lesbians… uh, find a way.”

Norwegians have this word — koselig — that imperfectly translates to “cozy” in English. To be koselig is to be connected, grounded, immersed, intimate. It’s a hard thing to accomplish right now, when social life is fragmented and ephemeral. This Boozy Spicy Hot Cocoa (and an impromptu face mask!) should help.

“‘Opportunity to be ghosted by Kristen Stewart’ was my knee-jerk dad joke response.”

“I need to know more about your house and its secrets (it’s haunted, right???) just like folks need to donate to the fundraiser.”

Grappling with life’s big questions — in the middle of a never-ending pandemic — is a lot less intimidating when you’re cutting out photos of Viola Davis at the same time.

This series may not be Magical Drafts and Potions by Arsenius Jigger, but it’s the closest things we muggles can get. All you need is a stove, a few fancy ingredients, and some time to whip of an apothecary full of gifts.

Billed as artcore fetish film and “a creative love affair between modern kink and vintage cult cinema,” Mondo Fetiche’s popping color palettes and self-aware cultural pastiches add a fascinating new layer to the vintage leather aesthetic many of us associate with queer kink. There’s plenty of leather, don’t worry about that – and there’s also babygirl femme tea parties, lesbian soccer scenes on a DIY field, and queer porn tributes to the femdom art of Namio Harukawa.

Truly the sky is the limit! Ask about anything!

Megan Thee Stallion/ Beyoncé “Savage” Remix, you can’t profit off of Bi pride, the 29 best red lipsticks of all time, and have you ever stopped to think: Quarantine culture really just is lesbian culture? Homemade hummus and all.

“Time to start the ‘I Got Jenny’ support group!”
