“Autostraddle commenters! Autostraddle readers! THE PERSON LOOKING AT THIS RIGHT NOW, BASICALLY. Y’all are our lifeblood, and I love each and every one of you.”

I hold on to those principles of starving artist days past and strive to integrate them into this new realm of diapers, strollers, and temper tantrums

Fruit, blogilates, and paddleboarding, oh my!

Autostraddle and A-Camp staff and family members are here to talk about what PP means to us as LGBT folks, and why we need it to be around for a very, very long time.

“In the two weeks I’ve been on the road I’ve learned to be silent and reverent in the face of nature, to see myself in mountains and peel away the layers that tug me toward them, to feel at home in endless waves of grain, to become someone new in every new place.”

Our panel answers your questions about getting knocked up, adopting, the challenges and rewards of queer mom life, and so much more!
