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.

The best of the best of Design*Sponge.

“Well guys, we’ve made it to the end of the summer in one piece, except for a few campers who are lepers.”

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

Summer’s here so I finally get to eat in the daylight. Why not celebrate with my favourite summer offering?

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.

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!

Long as I gets to the womens, who cares about the truth?

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

Get it? Coming out? Ugh.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

“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.”

A recent ruling could finally pave the way for a more thorough redefinition of marriage and family in Germany and it’s on everyone’s favorite topic: taxation.

Nothing brings lesbros together more than shoving eggs into exciting holes!
