Happy Friday, muffins! I made tuna noodles with the good mac ‘n’ cheese last night, so lunch at my desk is about to get SO. MUCH. BETTER. Day jobs are wild!

Erin and Riese think Grace and Frankie might be gayer for each other than their husbands. Also, I have questions about the design of those vibrators.
Are you a couple of millimeters femme of center? Mey’s got dress tips.

Queer girl this week is like “YOU get an award and YOU get an award and EVERYBODY GETS AN AWARD”
You’re right! There are so many!
*showers everyone with Funfetti*

You were on fire this week
Thanks! I was surrounded by much inspiration. :)
SPACE NUNS!!! I actually didn’t even put together that the space nuns were Mon-El’s parents until this comment so it makes it EXTRA awardable. Plus I’ll be singing “You say Mon-El, I Say Goodbye” forever now THANKS
#newclassic
Such inspiration “You say Mon-El, I Say Goodbye”
YOU ARE WELCOME

Ms.Sandiego, I’ve listened to Jar of Hearts,too, too many times.
I recommend Bailey’s on the rocks to go with that (they have a caramel variation of that, even) and some Warehouse 13 season 3 finale fanvids as the evening progresses.
Congratulations on the awards, everyone!
P.S.: Has anyone thought about Princess Bi secretly living as her soft butch alter ego someplace? Like maybe Key West?
I mean…has anyone ever seen Kelly McGillis and her in the same room back in the day?
It’s such a great song. I will try it with Bailey’s on the rocks. That is my mother’s favourite. Whenever I visit Mrs SanDiego I bring her a bottle of Bailey’s
You’re a good daughter.
Like Princess Bi faked her own death so she could escape the limelight and further explore her soft butch side? I am on board but I think she would need her own secret island so her sons could visit without anyone catching on.
I’m on board with the Lesbian island idea.
I am now imagining Princess Bi wearing overalls and running a small hotel in Greece, just like Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia
Although I am proud of my alliteration I do not feel like I earned this award.
But regardless I dedicate it to my 50 something year old cousin that I’ve met only twice, her lovely wife Jill who I met for the first time 2 weeks ago, and their adorable dogs who I hope to meet someday as well.
To our gaylders!
It’s just SO TRUE
I’m never going really understand on personal level why that is.
Basic cishet-normative preferences on viewing interpersonal relationships I understand, but not seeing lovers when they stand before you being gushy and crap?
Never gonna understand that.
All together now, for Voldemort
Who do you think you are?
Runnin’ ’round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart…
Hopefully gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside his soul
And not come back for us like a horror movie monster hunting for endless sequels.
Just stay down
Don’t come back ’round
YES! I made the list. I want to thank Katie who set me up for the spike, my parents, my 4th grade teacher, and QueerGirl for taking a chance on an unknown kid.
It’s been a pleasure to work with you and honestly I think we’ll kick ourselves if we don’t take our double act on the road.
