  1. autostraddle social 1.0 is so cool!

    i mean, i don’t see Preferred Underpants anywhere on facebook..

    • I was more excited about the favourite sandwich, to be honest with you. What can I tell you, my favourite sin is gluttony, lust is a close second…

      • YES. I was completely sold into actually filling that thing out by the fave sandwich thing. I mean, if there’s one thing I will talk about anytime with anyone it is sandwiches. Way to know me.

    • I felt like my underpants preference of lacy boyshorts cannot be fully represented by the current options. So, you know, for the official Autostraddle record, let it be known that “Boyshorts” and “Lacy Fancy Stuff” are combined harmoniously in the kakapo underwear drawer. And by “drawer,” I clearly mean “pile of probably-clean laundry on the desk.”

  2. I think the only thing missing is an option to list your spirit animal in your profile.

  3. Does anyone have feelings about me starting a group for Lesbrarian and Queer Archivists? I know ya’ll are out there.

  5. This is seriously amazing. More social networks should have a place for underwear preferences.

  6. I drove my girlfriend crazy all weekend with news from Autostraddle Social 1.0™ (that I didn’t know what to call, by the way)

    – Honey, look! Autostraddle has a social network thingy. I created a profile! My favorite sandwich is the Club Sandwich!
    – That’s great sweetie…

    – Honey, I created a group on the Autostraddle social network and people actually joined the group!
    – Good job, sweetie…

    – Honey, I created more groups! And joined and commented on several others!
    – Good for you sweetie…

    – Honey, do you have any ideas for groups for the Autostraddle social network thingy? I think we need a random one for “things that don’t fit into any other group”…
    – Ok, I’m worried that you’re getting obsessed. Step away from the computer.

  7. 8. Group about the charlie horse I got in my leg a while ago

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHA forever

  9. Can we talk about how awesome the relationship status options on the new profile are? I kind of want to select “Forever Alone,” “Pining,” “Damaged,” and “Rebounding” all together because they’re hilarious, but uh…maybe I wouldn’t exactly be rolling in friend requests, then.

    • Uh huh. Also “Sexually fluid” made me laugh for about 5 minutes. It reminded me of Missy Higgins.

      • Whenever I see that term I always want to make a joke about sexual fluids. Sometimes I think I’m secretly a fourteen year old boy.

  10. I know this is a 99.99999999% lesbian site, but would anyone take offense if there was a group for hetero-straddlers? I know I’m not the only one! Maybe there aren’t enough of us to warrant an actual “group” (maybe a duo…a quartet max?)…but assuming more straight gals discover the awesomeness that is AS in the future, would the founding of a group for us hets piss everyone else off?

    Just curious! I don’t want to start a flame war!

    • i welcome any and all heterostraddlers. just be prepared to be told that maybe you just haven’t met the right girl yet. by me. be prepared to be told that by me. like i just did.

    • 99.99999999% lesbian site? don’t forget the BISEXUALS LIKE EVAN RACHEL WOOD and the trans* too
      so you wanna bring more straight girls here? great, like I haven’t had enough straight-girl crushes….

    • in my opinion: do iiiiiiiiiit YES because then hetero people will maybe feel less weird? and I think Autostraddle is a place for feeling comfortable. I know come to Autostraddle for comfort. In the form of whiskeykittens and otterkittens.

      a gay transmale friend of mine was like, “Would it be weird if I joined?” and I was like MORE THE MERRIER COME TO US
