The Comment Awards Are In Like With You

Good day, darlings! This week I was sad due to some complicated cat separation anxiety but then Contributing Editor Cara made homemade ice cream and everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.

This week in straddlenews, we’re seeking music writers and Riese is planning to use her birthday money to pay Autostraddle writers. Your support will be rewarded with baked goods, more meetups and endless love from the team.

Shelby is this week’s Straddler On The Street  (sidenote: this one time at A-Camp I played H.O.R.S.E. with her and it was awesome). Those of you making an awkward transition from summer fling to serious thing might find solace in Lizz’s list of 20 ways to almost say “I love you”, but maybe the situation calls for indulging in Daniela’s triple threat vegan cheesecake recipe. Speaking of getting baked, Chelsea talked queer cannibis culture and Lane analyzed the all-time queerest of the non-queer movies, “Fried Green Tomatoes.” Oh, and did you all get the memo that Julie and Brandy are dating?*

Now for this week’s comment award-winning wordsmiths!

Autostraddle cannot exist without the generous support of our readers. We need to raise $175k in the next 2 weeks — or we won't make it to Pride. And a world without Autostraddle would be a loss on so many levels. Help us keep this indie queer media boat afloat! Every dollar helps.

Go to our Fundraiser!
