How to find a place to donate blood, overcoming perfectionism, pet CPR, a cuddle alarm, and more.

Fighting beetle moms, Dr. Orchid, sarcastic robots and green things eating the air!

Our number one feeling is always Alex Vega.

This issue includes an out of this world playlist, a coloring page featuring Sally herself, a constellation by number and so much more!

“Why do I do this? Because it needs to be done. Our schools and communities need to be safer for our young people, we are losing too many of them. I’m not going to sit and wait with naivety that our government or schools are going to lead that.”

We’ve got genius business ideas, robots, unicorn cats and so much more!

Also, the cast of Orange Is The New Black are being extra adorable, Demi Lovato is on the warpath and Ruby Rose maybe has a new girlfriend.

This week on Faking It, everybody has a great time at Game Night and Karma gets very jealous about the new girl in town!

We’ve got pre-camp flirting, Barbie, beavers and so much more!

We’re looking for an ambitious business-savvy Southeast Michigan-based leader with big ideas who can take Autostraddle to the next level.

Batwoman’s girlfriend is coming to National City, another sneak peek of Finding Dory, queer comedians tell the most important jokes, white dudes continue to rule TV, and Bobby Brown says Whitney Houston was bi after all.

Everyone still (STILL!) hates HB2, The Sims is getting gender expansive, Justin Trudeau is ringing in Pride, and this dog looks like a fox!

When the world isn’t built for you, you build something for yourself. We know how to adapt and generate new ideas because we’ve been doing it out of necessity for our entire lives. So sorry, tech bros – “entrepreneurial spirit” doesn’t exclusively belong to you.

After winning Best Feature at the Queer Hippo International Film Festival, Brittani Nichols’ and Carly Usdin’s feature film is making its way around the country on the festival circuit.

What if Brittani Nichols decided to hold a baby bunny? What if Laura Jane Grace just happened to be inside a video game? What if Soko were posting about the single life?
