The Bachelor is essentially just a weekly dose of Straight People Watch — but this season, for the first time in franchise history, a queer relationship between two women will be featured on-screen.

“Thin Mints is the uber-domme of lesbians. She walks into a room and owns it. No other cookie challenges her. She wears dark colors, and her clothes and hair are rigidly smooth. Bow down and acknowledge her.”

“I finally understand why the straights were so worried we were going to ruin marriage. Apparently, they wanted to do it themselves.”

This is very last minute but apparently tonight there will be a lunar eclipse during what is called a “full beaver moon,” which just seems like something y’all would be into.

“Sometimes I forget that straight people watch TV, too.”

DO NOT use genitalia as a champagne flute.

We do lose something when dedicated queer spaces like Into, Girlfriends and SheWired shutter or AfterEllen goes full TERF, but we also lose something when The Awl, The Hairpin and The Toast do. These were places where writers were free to experiment, to be weird, to make writer-first content that isn’t easily monetizable.

“the sex bench is like all the flatware in beauty and the beast collecting dust waiting for somebody to come along and use it to feel purpose / meaning again”

Theres been a lot of hate for “hard pants” lately…

My niche skill is terrifying men on the subway. Let me know if you need details.

Can we please get a “sustainability dyke” pin? I would love that so much.

Recovering after being ghosted, dealing with queer tokenism, knowing if you’re a top or a bottom, straight people are STILL not ok, and did that organizer ask you for an organizing coffee or a COFFEE coffee??

“we’re naked the whole time but somehow it is not hot and more sad than anything else”

Also, the first 8 minutes of In the Heights, Clea Duvall created a not-for-kids cartoon, and more!

Did you read these 28 posts in 2017? Because if not, you should really fix that right away!

Erin: Wow, they have really done you dirty. I would love to make you two s’mores.
Carly: Thank you!
Riese: Let’s go glamping!

“also can you truly — in your true heart — think of a better headline than “i put a sheet mask on my cunt””

Yes, this is a coming-of-age lesbian teen romcom by the director of Saving Face, and, yes, I did cry tears of joy in the first minute of the trailer.

“a line of topless queers at the nude beach, but from the back
they’re all different sizes and shapes and abilities and it gives the impression that the entire queer community gets along and loves each other”

The dynamic between white men and Asian partners is uncomfortable. There’s always a worry that they’re interested in what you represent, not who you are.
