The Gay Flirting Award to xx:

Holigay Quiz: Which Christmas Monster Should You Date?

And the Fightmaster Award to Cecily:

As the only Grey’s Anatomy fan (18 seasons, BABY!) who actually likes Amelia as a character, I actually *screamed* when Amelia and Kai kissed, and not just because E.R. Fightmaster is near the top of my list of queer lust objects. Okay, maybe a little bit because of that.

The Harnessing Award to Reilly:

Can we talk about the harness joke that made it past the censors, though? When they’re going into the cherry picker? I was hoping for it but I still yelled when it happened

And the Tree Hugger Award to temp:

The Regift, Reuse, Recycle Award to winona:

this makes me so whimpery and warm in the best way. as a triple taurus who has collected 2/3 of their wardrobe from friends and lovers, trust: people who love you want to wear you. have a taurus in your life who you’d like to bump up from strong acquaintance to consistent friend, or friend to lover? srsly just dump the whole pile on them. they will hold you in unreasonably high regard the rest of your life. …this is getting weird. thanks for the article, ro!

And on There’s Something About Bookish Men I Can Step On:

The Ethan Rayne Award to shamblebot:

From the glimpses we got into Giles’s dating life, he is ABSOLUTELY into bossy people who would step on him. You’re telling me that he and Ethan Rayne didn’t engage in some light bondage back in the day? And Jenny Calendar, who screams “high femme top”?

  2. Love the positive Under the Christmas Tree comments. I read a whole piece about that scene in Slate, and there was only complaining! No joy at all. I’m so glad to have Heather and some other AS comments with the correct opinion that it was fantastic.

  4. autistic testare essential resources for comprehending and helping people with the condition. These tests enable prompt interventions, individualized assistance, and educational approaches catered to the particular needs of each individual through early diagnosis. We can build an inclusive society that loves people with autism and supports them, enabling them to realize their full potential, by increasing awareness, facilitating better access to diagnostic tools, and fostering inclusivity.
