The Comment Awards Have Seen Love, And It’s A Bride in Fuchsia

Hello! This week, I’ve got several reminders from Cyrus, my best boy: Always, always dig for the squeaker at the heart of the toy, that’s where the joy is. Cuddle when you’re sleepy; if you’re home alone, tuck your nose under your tail for maximum cozy. Be hopeful forever: there is always more love, and more treats, just around the corner. And when the UPS driver comes down the cul de sac, SHOUT AT THEM AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS!

This week, Lauren told us about the existence of TruckSlutsMag, an Instagram and print mag about rural queers that I NEED in my life.

In Greasebats, Archie Andy tried to learn to cook.

Want to live alone without losing your mind? Malic’s got tips for that! (I recommend a dog, a cat, or a plenitude of plants to talk to).

Sometimes…you just need to get off on some food.

The Circle is bisexual chaos, and the TV team is HERE for it.

TINA!!!!!

And finally, from our very own Robin Roemer, photos of our very own royal wedding that proves LOVE IS NOT A LIE. It! Is! Dusty! In! Here!

And then there were your comments.


On Grease Bats: New New Year’s Resolution:

The Femme Brûlée Award to Deli Twotone:

In favour of cooking, I have only one thing to say : Reniece.

On The L Word: Generation Q Episode 106 Recap: Loose Ends:

The TINA! Award to Kate:

Not gonna lie, when Tina fucking Kennard showed up on my screen, I screamed TINA! Not unlike Bette in that first screencap. They really did that AND kept it secret. My Tibette feels were all over the place when they hugged and Bette’s face crumpled and she begged her to stay 😩

And the Maybe A Sublet? Award to Michelle:

I just wanna live in finley’s armpits okay

On How to Live Alone Without Losing Your Mind:

The Keep The Change, Ya Filthy Animal Award to Carmen SanDiego:

Design booby traps to defend your place against burglars. You know, cause you’re Home Alone now

On No Filter: Lena Waithe, Samira Wiley and Leisha Hailey Are Tangled Up In Blue:

The Even Cowgirls Get It On Award to Chandra, Blanche, –Jo, and amidola:

Chandra: Leisha Hailey in the gender-swapped reboot of Brokeback Mountain / Blanche: !!! / —Jo: except they leave their husbands, stay together forever, and co-direct an all gay organic free range cattle ranch with queer youth ranch hands and everyone is happy and has regular and satisfying tent sex. this is the story we need. / Amidola: Hmm, this sounds a bit like “Even Cowgirls get the Blueswp_postsjust with less cranes.

On Curls That Dance Under Any Light: Rediscovering My Queer Hair in India:

The Fated Fade Award to shamblebot:

I’m not a deeply religious person, but sometimes, just every so often, the world lines up in a way that I have to feel is fate. I’m a “goodwp_postsHindu girl, who is queer and closeted to her family, about to get my first visibly queer haircut tomorrow and it scares the shit out of me. I’ve known I wanted to do this for a while, but after spending the winter holiday in India I knew I wanted it even more. Hair is such a Thing in India, I too have had aunties tsk tsk when I’ve cut my hair shorter. In the US, people say “It’s just hair”, which also doesn’t feel right? For queer people, especially for queer women of color, hair… is a lot. It’s everything. I think you hit on all my feelings about hair and being queer and queer hair here in ways I’ve never known how to articulate. I’m so glad you wrote this, for me, personally. Thank you, and I’m sure your short hair looks amazing!

And on Grace Lavery and Daniel M. Lavery’s Wedding Photos Are Pure Queer Joy:

The Least Vapid Fluff Award to G:

WHY IS THIS CATEGORIZED AS “VAPID FLUFFwp_postsTHIS IS THE LEAST VAPID LEAST FLUFF OF ALL THE EVERYTHING. WE ARE NOT WORTHY.

  1. 1. EXCUSE YOU BUT VAPID FLUFF IS A BADGE OF HONOUR

    2. My Lex ad title is “Let’s get in tents” so I’m going to take this award as my due. Question though, has anyone ever actually achieved truly satisfying tent sex, or is it always in the same category as beach sex, pool sex etc. – i.e. fun in fantasy, but besieged in practice by tricky logistics and foreign particles of grit in uncomfortable places?
