A hot take: processing literally everything all the time is not only *not good*, it is actually *bad*!

Also let’s check in with the women of Claws and the smoochy shenanigans on Younger.

Thomas: I remember hearing that there was a trans character named Max, and that he gave birth and that possibly he was inspired by my actions.
Riese: A hundred percent, he was inspired by you.
Carly: A thousand percent.

Callie continues working inside the broken justice system to try to do some good while Mariana figures out maybe all guys really are jerks.

John: Could you imagine you and Dylan just got done cunnaling-ing together, you’re in bed, the California sun is basking on you. And then you turn to Dylan and you’re like, “We have to get up so we can go to Max’s Willy Wonka baby shower.” That’s the thing you interrupt with.

Alice is finally starting to figure her way out of her Sumi problem, and introducing Good Trouble’s Men Are Trash (But Sometimes Not) Leaderboard!

While “Turn This World Inside Out” makes plain the problems with shaming folks into a more liberated world free of gendered violence, it does so in limited ways that made me as a reader hungry for more.

One of the most feminist hours of television you’ll probably ever see.

With the summer finale looming, everyone is forced to take a good long look at themselves and their relationships.

Is it a “friend” coffee or a “date” coffee, unemployed and feeling unmoored, negotiating initiating intimacy in a relationship with two people on the asexual spectrum, you feel like your best friend is making questionable dating decisions, grooming your armpit hair, taking a break from therapy, you’ve never been in a long-term relationship, trying to exist outside of capitalism, possible pelvic floor concerns — and more!

Also, Aisha Hinds is going to break your heart on 911. Plus updates on HTGAWM, Legacies, S.W.A.T., and the finale of American Horror Story: 1984.

Introducing, the first ever Mystery Science Theater Gay Thousand!!!

Comedians Dominique Gelin (https://dominiquegelin.com/), Irene Tu (http://irenetu.com/), & Nori Reed (https://www.norireed.com/) of the East Bay’s Man Haters Comedy Show will be doing some live commentary to lesbian classic D.E.B.S.

D.E.B.S. is both one of the greatest lesbian movies and greatest superhero movies of all time. It’s campy as all heck and super low-budget (Angela Robinson made it for $300,000) but it’s a masterpiece. It also stars Holland Taylor name-checking Jodie Foster. -Heather Hogan (Autostraddle.com)
