TGIF/F is a multi-fandom, femslash convention designed to build connections, encourage discussion, and celebrate the media and characters we love.

Founded in 2015, TGIF/F provides a safe space for online friends to meet in person and foster new relationships across fandoms both young and old. We celebrate many different kinds of relationships between women, whether officially established onscreen or celebrated by fans through subtext. Together, our voices demonstrate a true demand for femslash representation in media. And best of all, the community we build creates lifelong relationships and a true sense of belonging.

We’re teaming up with GLSEN for Ally Week! Let’s look at how we can be better allies to LGBTQ youth.

“I’m so tired of our stories being saturated in death and martyrdom. What’s lacking in the way our stories are told by the media is our joy. This is an entire show where we’re sharing laughter. That’s heart medicine.”

“I went on a date with Laneia once.”

In our third of four recamps, Elicia Sanchez laughs so hard she almost pees in her pants except she wasn’t wearing pants, she was wearing tights.

The 26th Annual GLAAD Awards in Los Angeles was a fantastic and star-studded evening of joy and magic laughter!

You could go outside in 80 layers or you could get inside this week’s open thread.

More fun than a sleigh full of wombats and wine.
