Howdy, lesbos & otherwise identified people! Let’s get right to it, shall we?
This week, we had a bra issue. What, indeed, should you do with these boobs?
We had two new playlists: one to help you sleep, and one that will probably keep you awake. It’s a Nikki Minaj playlist, y’all.
Annika is back with her second article about taking estrogen and losing her heteronormative privilege. Word on the street is that Sebastian will be writing an “opposite” article.
Riese recapped Glee and it was gay and everyone loves Santana, which is basically my mini-recap of Riese’s recap.
Oh yeah, and, we raised $20,000 all thanks to you guys. No big deal, but we fucking love you.

The Everyday I’m Gay Award to novastar:
Dear Ruben Diaz,
Sorry about being gay during holy week. Did you know I am also gay on Christmas? It’s because I hate you, and want to offend your sense of morality personally.

The Canada Hockey Beavers Award to sterling_sky:
My vote is with a Canadian version. And do it in the winter so it’s just a bunch of chicks in sweatpants and wooly sweaters bitching about the weather, getting drunk at hockey games and lying on the chesterfield after they throw their back out shovelling the laneway.
But that’s probs just me…
On Texas Says Trans People Aren’t Real, Definitely Can’t Get Married Or Be Happy Ever:

The Straight History Award to MJ:
What about gay people who, you know, existed and may therefore come up in history.
“We will begin our study of Ancient Civilizations with Greece, where nothing happened at all. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, JENNY, DON’T LOOK AT THE MAP. THE ISLANDS HAVE NAMES THAT MIGHT GIVE YOU IDEAS.
“Greece’s fall began with the Macedonian conquest at the Battle of Chaeronea where – wait, Jesus, the whole army? Were any straight people involved in this? GOT IT! Philip of Macedon was there. He had a son, but we’re not talking about him.
“Moving on, Rome was founded by Romulus. After the Republic was set in place, Gaius Julius Ceaser took power. The Julio-Claudian emperors did nothing. Absolutely nothing.
“Skipping forward to recent history, the 20′s never happened. Seriously. We just went from 1919 to 1930.
“Some years after the 1920′s didn’t happen, Adolf Hitler did some bad things, but we can’t tell you about them because then you might ask *who* he did them to, and we can’t go into too much detail about all of those people.”

On Honestly, What Even Is This “DADT Repeal” If Katie Miller Can’t Get Back In?:

This page was blocked at my school because of the word “boob.”
I had to take a bus to the public library during a free period just to make this comment. Also books, or something.
Your comment was my absolute favourite of the week. I couldn’t stop laughing for a few minutes.
:D omg this makes me so happy.
i snorted my milk reading it then and almost choked on my ice cream reading it now, YOU’RE DANGEROUS I TELL YOU
it’s because she’s gay. gay people are a danger to society, obvs.
“Boobs! Owls! Money! Estrogen!”
How did you find out my weekend plans?
definitely just looked for the “like” button on this.
all of these things combined… into one huge nocturnal hormonal money boob.
now that’s what i call a weekend.
can I have your weekend?
also, can we add a like button? or thumbs up? or straddlin’ awesome?
Now that’s all I can think about is BOOBS and BBQ ribs. What a fucking awesome combo.
i can think of a few people i should introduce you to
you called..?
ohhhh fuuuu— also, boobs+ bbq= boobeque ribs?
I’m never going to look at a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray’s the same way again.
Put clam juice and Sweet Baby Ray’s together and then you’ll never look at it the same way again. Trust me on this / long story / there’s video.
Wastie! please tell me you haven’t gone off your sweet baby rays?!?
I could never do that! Which reminds me… I have to get some because I’m almost out!
Now that sounds good boobeque!!!!!!
boobeque at my place BYOBBQS! (bring your own barbecue sauce)
I’m there!!!!! :)
So you’ll be supplying the boobs? ;)
I thought you were supplying the boobs??? :)
I may have one or two laying around.
This is my first comment award. Since I found out they existed I have been craving one. If I were wittier, I’d probably make some melodramatic acceptance speech. Woo!
I’m glad we were able to pop our comment-awards-cherries together.
GUUUUYS! It may be the royal wedding drunkeness talking (what, I had to maintain my British street cred as my mum is British. Anyway,I went to a friend’s at 8am to watch the DVRed coverage and started drinking! woooo! So this may be the mimosas and irish coffee’s talking) but you all are lovely and thanks Emily. I hope all your royal wedding days went well. I was insufferable and pointed out the heternormativeness of practically everything. I don’t know when my friends still put up with me. It may be the more broad drunken tomfoolery/self embarrassment I am apt to engage in.
*WHY not when, I don’t why! I mean I know when, it’s when I’m drunk. Like right now.
Whoever wrote the headline also gets a Comment Award. I’m not sure if they’re as good as when Emily gives them out, but still.
the good news is that i write the headlines
i think that should be a band name
“i write the headlines”
definitely pop your collar after saying that, thats for sure.
I found this for you. Just change “comment” to “headline” in this particular case.

My first standalone comment award! Now I can feel proud with worrying that I’m just riding on the wave of others funniness!
“Riding on the wave” says the shark. @SomethingClever could have some competition!
Wastie, quit rocking the boat!
I have to make a splash wherever I go. I just can’t help it. Some people think it makes me shallow. I’m FINished now.
I knew shamelessly exploiting Emily’s Canadianness for long enough would pay off in the form of comment award. AMAZING, FOOLPROOF PLAN IS AMAZING AND FOOLPROOF.
In an only tangentialy related topic, omg technology is weird, my Blackberry has reception and I can post this comment while also being on a HORSE. So basically, the intertubes are crazy, I am autosaddled, I feel like there’s an Old Spice guy joke I’m not making here and that makes me sad, and yay I won a comment award!!
