“I think you can put so many people of color on TV shows, but until there are more people of color who are making those decisions to put those actors and actresses in those roles, we’re not quite at that point yet. We need more Shonda Rhimes in our lives.”

A blast from the past.

There’s so much in store for you at the Autostraddle Store.

It’s the very first Monday of 2013, and we have a brand new Straddler to kick off the new year. Meet Caro, a Miami native who talks to us about creating a queer girl meet-up group in her city, working for a non-profit that provides education on gender and orientation, and crushing on Chely Wright.

Because like half of these new features will be useful for the next A-Camp.

“Towards the end of the night you fall and tear the skin on your knee. But you pop back up and keep skating. You’re relieved. Now that you’ve fallen once you know you’ll be okay.”

“Little A+ box, I just wanted you to know that today I did my part in helping to burn the patriarchy to the ground.”

Sew up an A-Camp craft right in your own home!

“I sent you a Facebook message about ‘Werewolf Bar Mitzvah’ and that’s really where our romance began.”

We’re looking for an ambitious business-savvy Southeast Michigan-based leader with big ideas who can take Autostraddle to the next level.

We’ve got A-Camp feelings, Jenny Shecter, chocolate and so much more!

“I DID get hit on by a man at a lesbian bar on Saturday night. It made me feel very free and also like a pastry.”
