The AS team talks finding queer community with your lesbian sister, coping with a harmful mother-in-law, feeling ignored by your parents because you’re childless and more!

Particularly impressive categories this year include memoir/biography, horror — queer and trans horror writers are appropriately giving us their all these days — and comics.

You don’t need to have one particular vibe, type, or style. You don’t have to have it all figured out now, next week, or next year.

Dolly Parton loving Lil Nas X is all of us gay aunts loving Lil Nas X, Phoebe Bridgers is getting sued, Remember Britney not just for her tragedy but as the Pop Queen she is, and Happy National Coffee Day.

Don’t buy them the sex bench off their registry! They already have one!

Gird your loins, Bette and Tina are back in town! Meanwhile, Alice is getting cancelled, Finley and Carrie are walking up a moderate incline, Tess is dancing on her own, Shane’s got a big pitch, Sophie’s got a show to run and just like you, Dre loves Dani!
