This week in fitness, I’m trying out yoga for beginners, gym-friendly podcasts and running apps.

“I truly believe in story, I think the stories we see and the ones we choose to engage with are one of life’s most vital elements, it’s right up there with food and shelter. This has always been true.”

While we await new episodes of our favorite regular season shows, we thought it would be a good time to address the thing you really care about: Which lesbian/bisexual TV characters would be the best to U-Haul with?

Also, Amber Heard’s still really proud to be bisexual and there’s an LGBTQ mariachi band in here. Just saying.

Where can I hang out with other queers in Portland? Is it okay that I was drunk when I filled out my A+ survey? Skins Fire: why? Why do straight people wear lesbian footwear? These questions of yours and more are answered in this here post.

“I went on a date with Laneia once.”

Plus: Miley Cyrus puffy painted Caitlyn Jenner for charity, Lady Gaga and Linda Perry tag-teamed on “What’s Up,” Laverne Cox and Lily Tomlin’s “Grandma” gets its first trailer, the USWNT is headed to the World Cup quarters, and so much more information!

Documentary films. Policy initiatives. Direct action. These 20 activists are doing it all to save the world — and they’re Autostraddle readers just like you!

Calling all wandering queers! I’ve written you a survival guide for the next time you’re trying to move onto someone’s back porch.

“You had me convinced that there were redeemable parts of you, that your leadership was making you less of a cesspool, that, like literally any other group of people, you contained both decent humans and horrid man-babies who throw tantrums when anyone tries to tell them how to behave like a person. I may have been wrong.”

More and more actors are calling out Hollywood’s gender inequality, Kim Kardashian says Bruce Jenner is beautiful, feminists have had it with Game of Thrones, Mad Men flips the script on Joan and Peggy, Leisha Hailey is coming to ABC Family, and Queen Latifah doesn’t care if you didn’t like her lesbian sex scene in Bessie.

This week on Faking It, everybody gets into costume play and makes bad choices.

Our QTPOC besties are vital to our existence so we wanted to create a list filled with our stories to celebrate just how magical they are.

Stef and Lena finally decide to go to therapy on The Fosters, Gretchen kicks another guy in the nuts on Complications, and a lesbian bites it on Scream.

Plus new trailers for Faking It and Survivor’s Remorse!

In Donald Trump’s world, women without “normative” gender presentations are fat slobs and “traditionally attractive” women are bimbos and idiots.

In Follow Your Arrow, we’re talking a lot about building a business out of doing what you love. But what if you don’t have just one thing? What if you have so many interests you wouldn’t know where to start creating a business? Meet Emilie Wapnick, who has built an entire community around helping people just like you!

“Jo’s trans identity was just another integral part of her character, and it developed very naturally — she was a leader, she was VERY passionate about being a Lumberjane, she was also trans.”

The city isn’t very outwardly hostile, and once you find a pocket of queer friends to start connecting you to others (one thing this guide will hopefully help you do!), we think the ‘Nati can be downright grand.

Renee Montoya and Kate Kane, Peggy Carter and Angie Martinelli, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy!
