The book cover of Getting Clean With Stevie Green
LGBT Book Reviews

“Getting Clean With Stevie Green” Cares More About the Mess

It’s an attitude that’s really relatable, a year and some change sober as I am, the idea that your whole life would be different if not for this one thing that happened to you.

Shelli is drinking a cocktail, Carmen is drinking from a water bottle, Laneia has a green juice, Meg has tea in a tarot mug, Sally has a beverage in Autostraddle's fundraiser gay computer mug, Kayla has a cocktail that looks very fruity and orange, Em is drinking out of a mug shaped like a human torso in a sexy way, and Drew is drinking tea in front of a laptop.

“Don’t Look Up” Exposes How Capitalism Won’t Save Us

The movie shows us what happens if we wait too long to interrogate our culture and ourselves, lose sight of truth, and fail to take action: irreversible destruction.
