Netflix’s “Get Even” Is “Foxfire” Meets “Pretty Little Liars,” But More Mediocre and Slightly Less Gay

Is ‘Get Even’ a good show with a robust queer storyline? It is not. Did I watch the entire thing in two days anyhow? I sure did!!!! Should you do the same?? Probably!

Letter From the Editor: Fresh Vision for Autostraddle

The heart of my new vision for Autostraddle is pretty simple: make more space for lesbians and queer people — especially people of color — to be our entire selves and to be known for the multi-dimensional ways we move in the world. We are the ultimate authority on our culture, who we are and how we live. This is a home for us.

Anonymous Sex Toy Review: The Cookie Vibrator

I like sex that involves teasing. You know the kind, kissing in the car before you get home where hands are grazing shirts. That teasing is how the Cookie vibrator made me feel.
