This week we’ve got meta Oreos, blood wine, imperfect nachos and so much more!

I think I’d gotten it into my head that disability is always, on some level, supposed to feel bad. Like if I fought myself all the time, I was somehow doing it right. I worried that if gave up the femininity I’d worked so hard for, I’d just be giving in. As someone who has a lot of privilege, I thought it was my job to be the right kind of woman, even if I didn’t enjoy it.

The off-duty officer who killed Rekia Boyd is dismissed of all charges, Freddie Gray’s death brings more questions, students in Pennsylvania organize an anti-gay day and more bleak news!

Valentines from your favorite teevee stars, a chance to win a free suit and a swanky night out, a first look at Thailand’s trans women models, REALLY GOOD NEWS ABOUT COFFEE, and two chicks making out in front of a homophobic Russian dude! All that and some white cheddar popcorn inside.

Biblical floods, the worst lesbian bars and fast food feelings.

As far as winter footwear is concerned you have two choices: fashion or function. That doesn’t mean your choices are “look cute and freeze” or “stay dry and sacrificing lookin’ winsome.” Lovely human, you’ve got options.

Sara Medd is a woman on a mission. That mission is to help you find all of the androgynous and otherwise gender-neutral garb you’ve been looking for all your life.

Butche-Femme FaceOff sounds like the lesbian sequel to that insane John Travolta movie from the 90s. This isn’t that. It’s a discussion between badass queers on privilege and presentation. (I’d watch the hell out of that sequel tho.)

It also turns out that I’m a foodie and love brunching sober because I get to focus and spend more money on the actual food! (Pizza and Oreos are NOT theeeeee best combination of food I’ve eeeeeeever eaten. That was the vodka talking.)

Now, I come bearing the ultimate gift: a selflessly and tirelessly compiled list of future Autostraddle Pride meet-ups that has all the information you’ll need to hop on this crazy train of life and ride it right into Hangin’ Out With Cool Strangers Or Maybe Event Old Friends station.

There are moments when if we can, we want to wear the articles of clothing that bring us close to joy. My suit isn’t that thing, not yet, but it did bring me closer to feeling sane and on top of this thing called adulthood.

UMass basketball star comes out, Moroccan women take to the streets, The Monument Quilt takes the nation by force and more!

Tampons, cat allergies and Orange Is The New Black. Always Orange Is The New Black.
