The Comment Awards Are Happy Just to Be Momminated

Hi friends! The rest of the world might be a bit of a mess, but this was such a very good week here on Autostraddle dot com! Give yourselves a little round of applause, get a quick drink of water, and settle in – there are lots of awards today!

This week, Heather taught us how to be more assertive!

The team melted my heart with this roundtable about their childhood stuffed animals.

I love this column so! much! Find Your Fit: The Queer Academic Who Wants to Be Your Professor Crush.

Yvonne wrote about the tomboys and weird girls of the 90’s and early aughts. (At least three of my roots are in there; who were yours?)

Um, so Disney released a novelized sequel to Hocus Pocus, and it’s super queer!! Happy Early Halloween to us all!

Read this. Do it.
