We’ve Come A Long Way, Baby, It’s Time For Some Comment Awards

Good morning homos! By the time you read this, I (Emily Choo) will be on a plane to Beijing, China. Actually it’ll be a plane to Toronto first, then China. So this is my last comment awards post for a while and damnit if I’m not going to talk about myself for the entire intro.

Just kidding I’m so tired I can’t even feel my feelings. But here’s what happened this week:

A thing called “Eurovision” happened andwe made a playlist for it/you! Riese used to like movies but doesn’t anymore and explains it with brillance per ushe. Hopefully you’ve finished reading Bastard Out of Carolina because Rachel is ready to talk about it with you.

Annika and Sebastian are letting you ask them anything you want to, which is so brave and awesome! Also we’ve got another Get Baked, this time with kale! Which is not something I enjoy, but what do I know? Feel free to have a gender neutral beer or a masculine beer or a feminine beer or just a cold one with your kale.

May is $5 albums at amazon month, so the team picked their favourite ones to help you choose, and here are 25 female fronted comedies you should see.

Later skaters! It’s been real, or whatever the kids say!

Emily

Emily Choo started as an intern with Autostraddle when she was 18 years old. She's now 10 years older and lives in Toronto with her partner and cat. The defining moment of her career was when Riese said this about her: " I think Emily Choo is a very bright, 'poetically inclined' girl who pays attention to everything and knows almost everything (the point of stuff, how to read, how beautiful things feel, how scary things feel, etc.) but doesn't believe/accept/realize yet that she knows almost everything." She still doesn't believe she knows anything, so, thank you, Riese, for that.

Emily has written 100 articles for us.

  1. Aw yeah, comment award for mah housemate. She is really funny, ya’ll, and I get to share a living-space with her.

    • I can’t believe we are the first two comments for this, I am giggling even more now. But I’m pretty sure that the comment award justifies all the time I spent telling you about how I wasn’t getting my thesis work done.

  2. OMG I GOT A COMMENT AWARD THIS FRIDAY JUST GOT AWESOME. And Arrested Development will never not be awesome. I think I just blue’d myself.

  3. umm, I live in Beijing, China. Can you meet some lesbians and then tell me where they are? Because I haven’t found any in 5 years.

  4. umm, I am ALSO named Taylor and ALSO live in Beijing. It’s a bit weird the only two lezzies in our city have the same name. ;)

  5. Hey! *I* said the thing that won the Award For Winning an Award! Me! Owls! Not this “BR” character.
