Poetry slams and open mics for queer poets of all stripes to try out.

Excerpts from super hot queer erotica short stories just for you.

This year at A-Camp, we’re tasting whiskeys that are or have been historically piloted by women. No boys’ club spirits this year!

Celesbian dogs we’ve known.

This week at A-Camp, we’ll be using all these cans to make simple repoussé earrings. If you’ve got a can waiting to be recycled, bust out your scissors and join us. And if not, I bet there’s something cold in your fridge just begging for you to drink it.

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

I love these music videos! I’m scared of flying! Get in here and talk to me about it!

It’s a special *Voicemail Only* show and we’re discussing sandwiches (but not really!!), beginning to make friends after depression and with anxiety, and the joys of a world that looks and acts just like A-Camp. Special guest barks: Tungi!

This issue has a magical haiku by the equally magical Audrey, a very gay Eye Spy, an A-Camp confession AND SO MUCH MORE. Get in here and get reading.

This year I decided to DO Dinah (as opposed to last year when I ran away and went camping). It’s basically “how long can I survive in the heat before I die” and then “how long can I stay at this party before I pass out” and repeat.

All the camp and Canadian-ness of Lost Girl, all the angst and antagonism of Jessica Jones.

Things that suck: when you and your girlfriend accidentally wear the same outfit, when everyone has PMS, trying to break up with a girlfriend who refuses to be broken up with, getting blackmailed, meeting a cute girl when you already have a perfectly nice girlfriend, etc. It’s all right here, girls.

“I will probably be Connie Britton Editor from now on. Also heading up our Star Witness Akita division.”

In honor of our seventh birthday, we’re talking about the writing we’re proud of, the writing that scared us, the writing we regret, the writing coming up soon and so many other fascinating things!

Of all foods: french fries. Of all underthings: boybriefs. . Of all girls: Shane. Of all cheekbones: Tasha’s. Of all L Word writers: Angela Robinson. Of all cities: New York City. Of all songs: “Just Like Heaven,” by the Cure. It’s just … such a perfect song, and the last song I ever expected to hear during an L Word sex scene!

Prepare to get your socks charmed off by eight of our single staffers. We’ve asked them all the important things: star sign, Hogwarts house, and opinions on the greatest cereal ever created.

Every year on Hourly Comics Day we get some wonderful journal comics from some of the best artists on the web. It’s a great way to learn more about the artists you love and see what their art looks like when they’re being casual and just having fun. Also, you’re gonna love Jonesy!

Teevee has come home to our loving arms once more, to gift us with post-apocalyptic women kissing each other (and I mean really kissing each other), and resurrected time traveling queer superheroes learning their way, and Jane the Virgin introducing a scissoring painting into the sapphic romance mix.

“It was like throwing a tennis ball at a wall and expecting it to bounce back but against all odds it gets stuck in the bricks.”
