This week’s Good Trouble shines a worthwhile light on the problem with cash bail.

“Our wedding plans went on hold when I found myself unable to get out of bed.”

“The truth is I don’t know how to review Detransition, Baby. Torrey was too successful in what she set out to accomplish. If trans women have been and remain her primary audience then I, a trans woman, don’t know what to say from a place of supposed objectivity.

The Wilds is sometimes cheesy, sometimes saccharine, all times dramatic as hell.

there’s a lot of talk in the film about what different flowers mean, as Luce is repeatedly confronted by emotionally unstable customers demanding the perfect flowers for very specific occasions. I was intrigued. Could I make my own bouquet and send it to somebody? Is this something I could do from the safety of my own home, because there is still a slow-burning apocalypse going on outside? Turns out the answer to these questions was yes.

It’s not like traditional chicken pot pie filing is knocking anyone’s socks off, so Sarah and I decided to try out chicken korma pot pies with a turmeric crust. She gave them her highest food rating — “f*cked up” — so I’m sharing the recipe with you.

It’s time to normalize giving sex toys as gifts, and not just to partners. Everyone’s stuck at home anyway!

That’s why all the toys highlighted here are perfect for temperature play, for a variety of types of sensations and bods. With some sweet sweet discounts throughout this post, there’s never been a better time to try bringing some chill into the bedroom.

I pick up some tips and tricks from my dad for making his gunpowder — a South Indian dal and spice blend that I love to sprinkle on rice, and is also great on salads, toast and most snacks.

It seems contradictory to say I learned how to view my body as my own by sharing it with strangers and friends, but it is a truth that I revel in. What I love and learn about these encounters are the parameters of my body, its strengths, and boundaries, what pleases it.

Here’s some good news: me and all my friends hate the cops! Also, a FREE Be Steadwell concert, Hawa Hassan is making lamb burgers, and Utah is celebrating women’s suffrage. Happy Sunday!

One thing that does unite every show on this list is that each of them came into my life at the exact right time and also all influence my own writing in some way.

The Real L Word premieres on Sunday, aren’t you so excitant? We reflect and look forward and read reviews and witness strap-ons.

You will have a better time hanging out in this Autostraddle open thread than you will hanging out on Twitter today, I promise. It’s science!
