We have a special Celesbian guest on today’s Tuesday Televisionary. You may recognize her from other parts of our website, such as “photoblogger” for Autostraddle.com. Her name is Robin, and she is your Tuesday Televisionary, and probs wins the Cutest Girlfriend of the Week Award too.

ALSO, the post about how Bluehost sucks has been taken off password protection! It has been revised to be sure we cover all our bases and aren’t unprofessional and also now finally our domain is no longer in their possession. So it’s time to UNLEASH THE ARMY!!!

SLICK WILLY: Bill Clinton Supports Marriage Equality, Just in Time to not have any government position whatsoever, I mean really clearly the key to getting someone to promote gay marriage is to remove them from an elected position. This is referred to as “The highest profile reversal” in the history of the marriage equality movement.” (@joe my god)

The Girls Next Door: Into the Heart of Lesbian America: In 1996, sensing a cultural shift in how lesbians were perceived, partners and magazine writers Lindsy Van Gelder & Pamela Robin Brandt set out across America to gather an incredibly diverse array of lesbian stories. “Though we live next door to mainstream America, we have our own subculture … Not every woman who has sex with another woman is necessarly plugged in to all of this, but for most of us lesbianism is still about more than sex.” In addition to attending large-scale “tribal events” the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival and the Nabisco Dinah Shore Fold Tournament, ride cross-country with the Texas Lesbian Avengers, and interview women on topics like coming out, sexual fluidity, S/M relationships, with an emphasis “to focus on individuals and couples who simultaneously illuminate many of the deeper truths about lesbian lives and disprove many shallow stereotypes.” Three years after reading it I find myself still referencing it all the time. Get it. Read a f*cking book.

from Riese:
SOMEBODY STOP ME I was compelled by a force greater than myself to watch this infamous 2003 documentary “Living with Michael Jackson” and the paparazzi is so out of control and he is so weird in so many ways I didn’t even expect! Like buying a motorized wheelchair to zip around the entire floor of the Las Vegas hotel he rented for no reason. Then he asks good questions like “Why would I drop my baby off the balcony? That’s the silliest story I’ve ever heard.” Taken out of context, well … I think he has a point.

from Stef:
Would you like to be severely depressed (again) about the end of the 90s? Apparently D’arcy Wretzky from the Smashing Pumpkins randomly called this radio station in Chicago and talked all kinds of crazy and clearly never gave up crack. Full disclosure: I used to have a goldfish that I named D’arcy, after Ms. Wretzky. She died, and I did not keep her in my freezer. I hope D’arcy the person is taking care of herself.
