Hi there, fireflies! Did you join us for Autostraddle’s Pool Party? It’s not too late! AS readers have been asking for a way to pool funds in order to donate A+ memberships to other readers for years, and now there’s a way! Whether you’d like to donate or apply for membership, come on in! The water’s fine, and your swimsuit situation is exactly whatever you want it to be.

This week, The L Word: Generation Q finally came to a (dare I say sputtering) end, and Riese was right there with us, feeling our joy and our pain!

Speaking of The L Word: Generation Q, this is a must-read, by The Speakeasy: On Blackness and “The L Word: Generation Q”.

The team wrote about the first gay things they saw on the Internet. This was a DELIGHTFUL time capsule.

What do you do when you’re closeted, and your nearest and dearest keep asking if you’ve “found a man?” You write to Autostraddle, of course!

On The L Word Generation Q Episode 210 Recap: Last Call For Wherewithal:

The Van de Berg Effect Award to Van de Berg:

I finally feel vindicated after watching Shane meet Tess in season 1 and thinking “woah there, Shane has NEVER reacted that way to anyone befor!”. I mean — she literally bought Tess a bar and begged her (not her asshole of a girlfriend, just her!) to run it after knowing her for all of five minutes…! Then Quiara showed up and I thought to myself

On An Obsessive Analysis of the Timeline of The L Word Generation Q Season Two:

The Sliders Award to strangealien:

Do you think that perhaps the L Word exists in a universe that operates with a sort of inverted Queer Time* where character development happens at the speed of light? So fast our slow little human brains can’t comprehend it? Is it really a sci-fi show? 👀 *Queer Time being defined in another article on this website by the brilliant Heather Hogan.

And the CSI Gen Q Award to ChaoticUnicorn:

Petition for the endless parade of crime procedurals currently on TV to be replaced with a new show in which Riese Bernard tracks inconsistencies in our favourite queer media.

  1. Christina really deserves credit for the above – she built the house, i just walked through the door…

    and if Riese does do a series of inconsistency exposés, i hope you promote the heck out of them cos i’m super here for spreadsheet content!

    thanks, queer girl!

  2. Here for the spreadsheets AND the vase-smashing

    There are several puns in there I can just about make them out…
