Every day, I comb the tabloids all across the internet, thirstily hunting for any news of Kristen Stewart’s potential public makeouts and/or Evan Rachel Wood’s forthcoming announcement that she’s ready to take me on a date. In the process, I also found these headlines. Today I’m ready to share them with you.
RIP Bookslut, what matters in lesbian love letters, histories of queer comics, explaining without mansplaining and more.
This week on Faking It, Amy gets a girlfriend! Kinda!
A couple of excellent profiles of Kristen Stewart and Sarah Paulson, a new trailer for the second season of Scream, a Fingersmith adaptation you’re going to want to see, and more queer pop culture news.
Let’s talk about our favorite queer characters on television and their (possible, probable) favorite Pleasure Chest sex toys!
“We wanted to be pagans too or witches, maybe. Anything that would make us feel powerful because mostly we felt like we were at everybody else’s mercy. We wanted skirts and big boots, like ‘I will french kiss you and then stomp on your face.’ I wanted to be Neve Campbell. I wanted it to be real.”
Topics include why people pay for the New York Times but won’t pay for Buzzfeed, liberal bias in Facebook’s trending topics, how Bitch Magazine got started, being productive in your home office, how to turn a negative conversation around and so much more!

“So often I’ve tried to explain figure skating to my friends or family and I never felt like they got it… But it was as if I was always describing something too huge to put in to words. So I’m excited to be able to show it all, share everything that I’ve wanted to say but couldn’t find the words for.”
“It took watching I Don’t Wanna Be A Boy to show me that the negative attitudes towards trans women have always been pervasive in society, that from 1994 to 2016 there hasn’t been much change in how society views us.
