Also in today’s Pop Culture Fix: Gillian Anderson will play Eleanor Roosevelt, Legends of Tomorrow is moving to Sundays, the Zendaya interview that’s raising perfectly sculpted queer eyebrows, and more!
The world outside of America is not just countries of people that need saving and there is no hypothetical past to return to that would make that saviour narrative real. It just obscures harm.
The more I get into D&D, the more it bleeds into my passion for television. I find myself thinking about TV character’s histories as “backstory” and accidentally calling side characters “NPCs.”
Marty Fink shows how caregiving is activism, disability is sexy and dusty archives are tantalizing in Forget Burial, an essential, highly pleasurable, read.
Oh to be a small dog accompanying Gillian Anderson, Lena Waithe thirst became we are living in a damn Paul Blart Mall Cop, and POV: You are Chef Melissa’s boo and she just came home from a long day of work.
Halle Berry grew up by practicing kissing on girls (stars, they’re just like us). Also, Megan Thee Stallion interviews Rep. Maxine Waters, more truly excellent Britney reads, and what does abortion access really look like during a pandemic?
Trust me — when you’re making the somewhat smelly transition to the natural deodorant life, social distancing will be your best friend. If you need a push to get started, I tested and rated natural deodorants to help you make your selection.
I am ready to be fearless. To dream beyond Black womanhood and know that I — Black, queer, and not-quite-sure — am worthy, so worthy of all of the love, affirmation, and power the universe can muster.
I haven’t written anything really real in years; I barely remember how.
Beau and Yasha finally went on their long-awaited date and it was gayer than we could have dreamed.
Ryan reconnects with her ex-girlfriend who we do not trust but want to trust but it’s hard! Also, All Crows Are Bastards, there’s a new non-binary character in town, and Alice is missing memories!
Queen Latifah’s crushing the Sunday ratings, Batwoman’s new non-binary character, the best movie endings, Roxane Gay on her love-hate relationship with HGTV, Ashley Benson’s new crime podcast, and more!
The most important aspect of therapy is the relationship that is built between you and your therapist.
If you don’t like to watch movies about horrible people doing horrible things, you’ll probably want to skip J Blakeson’s I Care A Lot. If you, like me, are a zealous fan of the small but growing canon of lesbian heist movies, you might have fun with this cynical, clinical movie steeped in the horrors of capitalism and greed.
Heather Hogan noticed that I had taken up permanent residence in the comments of “Boobs on Your Tube” every Friday, basically writing recaps of my own (I felt lost, Autostraddle was my port in the storm). Heather asked if I had ever considered writing about television as a career. She said, “We can pay you. Not as much as we’d like to, but we’ll find the money. Is that something you’d be into?”
I wrote back, “That is something that I would VERY MUCH be into! In fact, I hope it’s not too unprofessional to say that I would love it with all of my heart.”
Four trans individuals are featured in the new docu-series exploring the impact of Trump’s ideologies.
What “kink” means, lies about kissing, vaccinating sex workers, how transparent dating app policies are (not very) and more.
I know Snatch Game is the episode most Drag Race fans look forward to, but I’m a gay musical theatre nerd and nothing brings me more joy than the Rusical.
