Omg I’m so embarrassed, my multi purpose electric toothbrush has been called OUT!! 😆😆 Looks like I need an upgrade. 😊

On The Straight TV Couples We Won’t Apologize For Loving:

The Even Better Place Award to Brenny, thatottergirl, and Chandra:

Ooh yes to all three configurations! I love Janet and Jason too (although they’re a boy and not-a-girl, so perhaps not technically a straight couple) because they’re both adorable in compatible ways, and also I’d follow Janet anywhere. …so maybe I want to be in their throuple? I’ve said too much

And the Boldly Go Award to Liz Jay:

I started listing my favorite Star Trek M/F couples but then remembered everyone on Star Trek is bisexual, so. (Except maybe Rom. Rom is the one straight ally in all of Star Trek.)

On You Need Help: How Can I Be a ‘Good Ex’?

Thank you, Kayla, for always being here to talk about good boundaries and how the cliche of all queers being friends with their exes doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone in all circumstances! So many snaps.

  1. So many good comments and comment award titles today!

    The Boldly Go award and the New Moon award both made me laugh out loud.

  2. Also, is this an ok place for me to submit my couplets from the perspective of Cara Delevingne and Ashley Benson’s Haunted Sex Bench?
