A good bartender knows not only how to keep you at that perfect level of tipsy while celebrating, but also when to hand you a drink and let you wallow. Now YOU can be that bartender.

Day Three’s activities included the sex panel, the talent show, the queer women of color panel, the picking up chicks workshop, ‘zine-making, the dance and SO MUCH MORE!

The best of the best of Design*Sponge.

If you’re going camping, you really need to have a pocket knife.

It’s the 2013 Teen Choice Awards, hosted by Pretty Little Liars’s Lucy Hale and Glee’s Darren Criss!

We have A-Camp shirts, “You Do You” tote bags and… wait for it… super special behind-the-scenes ‘zines made by Riese, Laneia, and Rachel themselves. It’s crazy.

On the first full day of A-Camp, we pressed flowers, talked about gender, played basketball, cabin-bombed and super-soaked.

Zines, lesbian MPs, international news, gay TV, bad news, sexual spectrums and lesbian poetry about manicures.

Save the date, queermos, cause it’s that time again: Time to hang out in real life and start plotting to take over the world – or at the very least, make some new friends and bask in the beauty of the Autostraddle community.

When the revolution comes, you’ll need to know how to set stuff ablaze! Also, you’ll want S’mores.

Get it? Coming out? Ugh.

Sam talks about A-camp, traveling and couch surfing, her celebrity crush and more.

Topics include Lefrack City, UCB, American teeth, selling the South to Southerners, tech money’s influence on The Bay Area, The Bling Ring, The Preppy Murder case, Detroit, killer crushes, missing First Nation women and more!

This craft involves coloring with crayons to make something that looks legit. It’s basically a dream come true.

Activities include eating mystery meat, re-enacting the holocaust, performing 15-minute Shakespeare adaptations on a cart, writing in my diary, and crying. Mostly crying.

This week’s going to be a billion times nicer than last week. I pinky promise. Here’s some animals, a big ol’ bowl of pasta, and a street wedding to prove it.

“I know that, realistically, I could have experienced much of this event outside of the courtroom, without spending three nights sleeping on the sidewalk. But for reasons that I’m not fully capable of articulating, it was entirely worth every moment.”

“I didn’t know where all the people like me were, or how I would even talk to them if I saw one in the wild. All of that changed during the training session for first-time Rock Camp volunteers.”
