This Post is a Test

Is our website still totally broken or what? Will this link go anywhere and when it goes there, will there be photographs representing the thumbnails for these posts? SO MANY QUESTIONS, SUCH LITTLE TIME


Autostraddle cannot exist without the generous support of our readers. We're running the fundraiser through March 29th! We're out of immediate danger...but we had to ask...what if we could survive for longer? Will you help?

Go to our Fundraiser!

  1. I got really traumatised about my addiction to a lesbian blogging site. To pass time, I made cupcakes and did homework and actually functioned like a human being for a little while, but all that has been defenestrated now you’re back.

  2. I thought California may have finally fallen into the ocean and we would be alone in this Autostraddle-less (AKA dark and hopeless)world forever! Thank god you’re back, I have two hours of work left before I’m cut off from internet for the whole weekend.

  3. THANK CHEESUS. Thank you for reviving the site. I spent the last two days realizing how important Autostraddle is to my health/ mindset/ general well-being and I promise to check here twice a day to keep up traffic levels from now on.

  4. Yesterday a friend of mine was telling me about the whole bruhaha in Canada over divorce for gay couples who married there and are not Canadian citizens, so I went to Autostraddle to see what coverage you had. My heart stopped when I realized my #1 homo-gay news source was down!

  5. OH THANK GOD YOU GUYS ARE BACK I WAS LIKE WHAT THE FUCK AM I GOING TO DO WHILE YOU GUYS ARE DOWN AND I KEPT CHECKING BACK AND YOU WEREN’T HERE AND THEN I CHECKED BACK AND YOU *WERE* HERE BUT THEN I CLICKED ON A POST AND IT *WASN’T* THERE SO I WAS CONFUSED ABOUT WHETHER AUTOSTRADDLE WAS BACK OR NOT SO I WENT TO THE TUMBLR AND THERE WERE LOTS OF POSTS ABOUT HOW IT WAS NOT BACK BUT THE HOMEPAGE WAS BACK BUT THE POSTS WERE NOT BACK AND THEN THE HOMEPAGE WAS GONE AND THEN EVERYTHING WAS ON FIRE AND I HAD TO STOP DROP AND ROLL BUT WHEN I ROLLED I ROLLED ONTO MY SPARE LAPTOP (EVERYONE HAS A SPARE LAPTOP, RIGHT, COME ON) AND SO I WAS LIKE WELL, I’M ON FIRE, BUT I MIGHT AS WELL CHECK AND SEE IF AUTOSTRADDLE DOT COM IS BACK UP, RIGHT, JUST IN CASE, IT WILL GIVE ME SO MUCH EXTRA PEACE OF MIND TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT IT’S UP THAT I MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE THE PRESENCE OF MIND AND THE FORTITUDE TO DEAL WITH THIS WHOLE BEING ON FIRE THING, SO I CHECKED, AND IT WAS STILL DOWN.

    that’s why my house burned down.

    but then i was digging through the rubble and i found that spare laptop that somehow survived (probably because i stashed it in a fireproof safe) so i took it to the library (because clearly my wifi network was down after the fire) to check if autostraddle was up and

    LO AND BEHOLD

    IT WAS.

    THANK GOODNESS.

    i’m pretty sure the fire was unrelated.

  6. I was concerned that the site was hacked when first I couldn’t open any links and then I saw a Ron Paul ad on the front page. noronpaulno!

    *donating to AS so they can screen their advertisers*

  7. You’re back! Please please please stay! I will make you french toast and creme brulee! I will buy you a kitten! I will do all the dishes! But don’t leave again or I might just curl up and wail for a really long time!

  8. OH THANK GOD YOU’RE BACK
    my little sister has her friends over and they’re obsessing over pattinson/taylor swift/justin beiber in that non-ironic way that only middle school girls can and it’s horrifying and they were judging me so hard for my obsession with a hogwarts house laptop case i found on etsy even though it was *so awesome* and my girlfriend is busy cheering all weekend (as if the time difference alone weren’t sucky enough) and I THOUGHT I WOULD BE ALONE FOREVER IN THE BLEAK REALITY OF SHITTY, SHITTY POP CULTURE.
