I’m still defining “tomboy femme” style for myself but it gets exponentially harder to find inspiration when all I see is fashion for white, thin bodies. I’m a fat tomboy femme of color and I deserve cute outfits!

Forget your ridiculous national championships, Natalie’s on a search to crown the best first on-screen kiss.

A record number of people of color were nominated for acting awards this year, too!

The conversation of multi-dimensional black thought, and questions of isolation or not feeling “black enough”, is one that a lot black people are familiar with. It’s smart and nuanced. It’s also a conversation that fundamentally could not be filtered through a white lens. It could not exist on a television show that wasn’t like this.

Plus some new scenes from OITNB’s new season, Carrie Fisher’s last Star Wars cover shoot, Ellen’s first standup special in 15 years, Wynonna Earp key art, Queen Sugar’s second season trailer and more!

Lots of good local news from across the United States for queer and trans folks, a legislator who loves her trans kid, a sick burn for Tony Abbott courtesy of his gay sister, the diverse OITNB cast at the SAG Awards, and a dog that looks like a raccoon. Get in here!

She has boxes of recipe cards; mostly I know their stories and not their flavors. She needs to know what I cook for dinner regularly; she eats a dinner of nibbles and stolen bites. She tells me that sugar is toxic and will cause irreparable harm to my body; she sends me a box of Christmas cookies. Scrumptious little crystals that can tear at my blood vessels from the inside.

“It’s adorable that you thought this book with this premise might have anyone who *isn’t* a lesbian in it!”

Malinda Lo’s all-new short story about an inauguration protest that’s interrupted by an alien invasion is available exclusively on Autostraddle dot com!

This community gallery is filled with 200+ photos of you queerdos looking very spooky, very sexy, very gay, and all around very, very good!

“No one knows, including me, that my overindulgence and competitive drinking is an attempt to assert the only masculinity I know. Toxic.”

It’s whimsical and fresh and progressive and tender in parts and hopeful in other parts and compelling throughout.

Also, Brittani Nichols had a birthday, Laura Jane Grace joined the cast of Friends and Gillian Anderson destroyed some perfectly nice cupcakes.

The ladies of Litchfield perform ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler spoof Carol, Pretty Little Liars is calling it quits, and many more queer stories from the website pages.

The first time someone described Casey as having “stalkerish” tendencies, I defended her. For the most part though, I didn’t talk about it.

Ellen’s got a new puppy line at PetSmart, everyone agrees Danielle Brooks deserves an Emmy, Funny or Die parodies The Handmaid’s Tale and more!

Plus updates on Queen Sugar, Younger, The Young & the Restless, General Hospital, and Critical Role.

Wayfarers, aviators, cateyes and more, starting at the very cute price of $7.99.

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

They’re nonchalant about their sexuality, confident in their bodies, and their chemistry together is an absolute joy on screen. I adore them.
