I drive my car for my job right now, and listen to music in the car constantly. As such, I’m always on the lookut for new tunes by queer and trans artists to make the drives less mind-numbing. My struggle is your gain!

I’m four years into my 30s and all the bones in my body were finally going creaky. And of course, it just had to begin in my knees.

“After you sleep with the woman of your dreams, there’s only one right thing to do in that situation, which is to badly sing Anita Baker and also tell her you want to marry her.” Welcome to Autostraddle’s Twenties recaps!

Raised by an army of colorful black women, I couldn’t escape awe of her talent, radiance, and undeniable star-power.

Annie Clark takes things I think I’d never wear in a million years and suddenly, I need them.

“For a moment, I forgot about the summer of 2015. I forgot about the panic I experienced, the insomnia, the depression. We watched the new season of Orange is the New Black together and by the end of episode 12, it suddenly all came back.”

Here’s a mega photoessay of Comic Con with highlights from panelists talking about women in comics, diversity in comics and LGBT representation.

We’ve got new seasons of Derry Girls and One of Us Is Lying, an Aisha Dee horror film set at a lesbian bachelorette weekend, queer ’90s teens in Tegan and Sara’s “High School” and more!

Both rule-following and improvisation have their place in this post. First course: a wheat berry salad by the book. Followed by: my own take on the recipe.

Yes, an all new Suicide Squad trailer, a first look at the new Wonder Woman, Linda Perry is mad at Lady Gaga, Netflix announces a handful of things that are sure to thrill you, some new feminist-y TV shows are in the works, Carol sweeps the “Gay Oscars” & more queer entertainment news!

“Dr. Leekie wants Cosima working for them, and Delphine assures him she’s on it. He tells her to be careful playing for the other team, which is a pretty solid gay/double agent joke.”

Plus, this Dickinson trailer should be gayer, Kate McKinnon in Bombshell, Missy Elliot’s VMA masterclass, A Black Lady Sketch Show has been renewed, a new Megan Rapinoe profile, Viola Viola Viola, and more!

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!
