This week I found myself in a part of this city we call San Francisco that I know nothing about and never visit. I ate lunch at a delicious little whole-in-the-wall diner called Tito’s Cable Car Diner, which is weird because it isn’t located on, or even near, a street in San Fran with a cable car and also it is run by a guy not named Tito. But all of that misinformation is forgiven because the food was amazing and the sweetest old man sat next to me and talked to me about birds. It was a lovely experience really.
Other lovely experiences this week include our old cat FINALLY accepting our new cat in the form of head nudges and belly showing, binge-watching Grace and Frankie and Autostraddle dot com.
Speaking of Autostraddle… Stef found some ridiculous tabloid headlines and Stef-ed them up as only Stef can do.
Carolyn speculates on the sex toys perhaps utilized by your favorite television queer folks. You’ll be surprised at what you learn about yourself on this one.
Orange is the New Black comes out SO soon. Like right after A-Camp. I wonder if Heather can somehow work out pre-screening at Camp. HEATHERRRRR!
My wife just read The Price of Salt and really identifies with Gabrielle’s take on things.
The Editors answered all of the questions.
In a not-so-veiled attempted to win my undying love and affection, Tegan and Sara’s new music videos feature cute dogs.

Just 2 for @queergirl? She was on fire this week!!!
To be honest, I had three more in the list for queer girl, but I limited myself. What would the comment awards be without queer girl!
we should figure out when her birthday is and have her sweep the comment awards that week. in lieu of fancy hat.
Probably your limit was a good choice, otherwise this section needed a change of name, at least this week, to Queer Girl Awards
You guysss I am on a family vacation with a bigoted cousin I have been instructed not to “upset” by mentioning my girlfriend or, like, my life, but this just made literally EVERYTHING better. All the ???
You’re just a beautiful human being, because if I got those instructions all my conversations would begin with my life, my girlfriend and I would also add for sure some tidbits of information about our favorite sexual positions and sex toys.
My very first comment award! *bows deeply* thank you, beautiful people
Um queer girl that’s probably a knife or collapsible baton not charm which is opposite of charm. For most people, but it’s not like I’m judging or anything because…reasons.
I came say I’m glad I didn’t try to talk about the Lesbiapan in pirate speak, but got derailed by my mind with latent Black Widow/lethal lady magic rabbit den thing and feels matrix.
Who watched CA: Civil War, me.
Who needs more Black Widow in the MCU with Russos at the helm? Meeeee.
Need to have the “Queer Girl permanent award”
@carmensandiego!! We. Need. To hang out. At a-camp.
@queergirl what cabin are you? I’m a blue bird
I’m in Area 51, so I guess I’m an alien :)
I don’t want her to identify herself if she’s not comfortable, but I am going to be bummed if I get through all of A-camp without shaking queer girl’s hand.
PS ** backtracks from assuming pronouns, the person known as queer girl on the internet
You GUYS you are pretty much making my year just in this thread. Seriously. You have no idea.
Thanks for not assuming Shane! Lol. It’s she/her
@queergirl Thank you for making it possible for us to get a comment award sorta named after me <3 <3 <3
I am here for you! ??
