The I’d Write To Gay Abby Award to abby:
Dear ‘Dear Abby:’
Now, I realize you give such shitty advice that you must use an alias, however, some real people have earned the name ‘Abby’ (exactly as you spell it), and would like for you to step out of your advice-giving closet and use your legal name. That being said, if I followed the advice you give, I’d probs end up in a ditch somewhere in California, searching for the truth and panning for gold. Keep in mind that only a select few can live life as unicorns.
Regretfully yours,
a gay Abby

Emily Choo started as an intern with Autostraddle when she was 18 years old. She's now 10 years older and lives in Toronto with her partner and cat. The defining moment of her career was when Riese said this about her: " I think Emily Choo is a very bright, 'poetically inclined' girl who pays attention to everything and knows almost everything (the point of stuff, how to read, how beautiful things feel, how scary things feel, etc.) but doesn't believe/accept/realize yet that she knows almost everything." She still doesn't believe she knows anything, so, thank you, Riese, for that.

Emily has written 100 articles for us.

      • Hello sorry I confuse everyone all the time. I changed it to bamf when I saw her comment; it said barf originally.

    • I saw your comment award and I got really confused for a second. I thought I made an alt account I didn’t remember when I was drunk or something.

  1. for the record, someone told me there was a ~sexy tegan and sara song that was really about math class and I believed them to this day. they might have been joking, I can’t really remember, it was 2003.
