It’s Gal Pal Week on Autostraddle.com! Let’s kick it off by counting down television friendships we adore!

“Orange is the New Black” premieres today, here is your really thorough reading list — from Assata Shakur to nuns against nukes to incredible journalism on the various horrors of the U.S. criminal “justice” system.

Also in today’s fix: a breakdown on gender and racial diversity in TV writing, Ellen Page and Ellen Degeneres talk coming out, lots of people talking about Cara Delevingne, Rosie O’Donnell’s guest spot on Empire, Olivia Wilde has made out with girls and other important stories!

Amber Rose’s Slutwalk truly embraced and celebrated the duality of women’s lives in the modern world, and it was a radically inclusive event — one with an explicit policy against all forms of oppressive language and behavior as well as an explicit intent to include, lift up, and acknowledge the unique and compounded struggles of trans women, women of color, queer women, poor women, and differently abled women.

Kim and Sugar. Camilla and Jocelyn. Alice and Dana. A look at the legendary duos that lived the nightmare and sometimes came out alive.

Check out your favorite OITNB cast members talk about the complexity of their characters, the fun they had on set, and the relationships they fostered with the other actors.

It’s like the opposite of the Oscars.

Hibachi magic wands, Ellen Page and so much bbq-ing.

This is an especially wonderful fix, if I do say so myself: Ruby Rose & Phoebe Dahl have a dinner party, ABC Family changes its name, a new docuseries on QPOC in the deep south, an in-depth look at every TV show on a gay-to-queer scale, a hilarious interview with Julie Goldman & Brandy Howard, a new Hunger Games trailer, films that got LGBT history right and so much more!

You guys! Orange is the New Black comes back in 21 days!

Janelle Monáe on a giant swan, Samantha Ronson’s birthday surprise and a very provocative painting of some clowns.

Check out a sneak peek of the darker second season of “Orange is the New Black” now!

An ice cream flavor named after your fav OITNB actress and other mini-updates from the cast, a cat that saved a kid’s life, the gayest landscaping project ever, a small nation with big dreams, Ruby Rose’s best interview eve which happened when she was 16, and oh, right, NICOLE KIDMAN KISSING NAOMI WATTS because you deserve it.

This is the largest portion of Season Two we’ve ever been served, and it is fracking DELICIOUS.

An amazing roundtable with funny Hollywood females including Kate McKinnon, Rosie Perez talks to The Trevor Project about wanting to hump her junior high girlfriend all the time, Andreja Pejic’s groundbreaking new gig, what Bennett was thinking and more!

You know about Alex Vause, but you may not know much about Catherine Cleary Wolters, the drug-smuggling lesbian in thick-rimmed glasses who inspired her character. That’s where Out of Orange comes in.

This week on “Faking It” everybody goes to detention together and is forced to tell each other the truth about stuff or else die of boredom!

We’ve got everything: diva cups, girls with feelings and guitars, hand massages, busted knees, phantom doors, QTPOC speakeasy takeovers, Gabby in a canoe, Jasika Nicole in a smoke machine, fresh tears cried for Maddie, a bloody nose, butt sex, lip-syncing and gosh, so much more.

Also, Younger ended a fantastic first season and USA released the first 15 minutes of Complications.
