The Comment Awards Are Happy Just to Be Momminated

width=

Hi friends! The rest of the world might be a bit of a mess, but this was such a very good week here on Autostraddle dot com! Give yourselves a little round of applause, get a quick drink of water, and settle in – there are lots of awards today!

This week, Heather taught us how to be more assertive!

The team melted my heart with this roundtable about their childhood stuffed animals.

I love this column so! much! Find Your Fit: The Queer Academic Who Wants to Be Your Professor Crush.

Yvonne wrote about the tomboys and weird girls of the 90’s and early aughts. (At least three of my roots are in there; who were yours?)

Um, so Disney released a novelized sequel to Hocus Pocus, and it’s super queer!! Happy Early Halloween to us all!

Read this. Do it.

On 11 Tomboys and Weird Girls From 90/00s Movies I Loved as a Kid:

  1. No one deserves a Leo… because we are just that great.
    But Romeo + Juliet Award was brilliant. DiCaprio is at his peak baby-dyke in that one…

    • Goodness, Chandra, are we saddled with a comment award? ‘Tis a fine crop of puns we’ve raised, a veritable welter. And if Snaelle or Deli Twotone should care to add to our acceptance speech, either one, why, leather rip! Together we are indomme-itable.

      • Oh my, you’ve already unleashed so many puns off the cuff that I’d better crack the whip if I want to join in.

      • I’ve always heard it’s better to give than to receive…so don’t you think we should give it enthusiastically to those who may be feeling under-represented?

        The comment award, I mean.

          • I was busy bottoming out on alcohol when the Comment Awards went down.

            Iarrann mé be I’m feelin’ Queer, Girl this moaning. Chandra and lightning whenever I open my eyes.

            I’ll be moving at a Snaelle’s pace today,

  3. Thank you for the comment award, now I have an answer if I’m ever asked what my greatest achievement is.

  5. Y’all are effing superstars!
    But seriously, Snaelle has been Buffy the Vampire Slaying it this week (highest gay nerd praise).

  7. Ahh thanks again for this momment in the sun! Such perfect punsters all around.

  8. I would also like to thank Heather Hogan for inspiring queer girl to accept an award.

    Because really qg, nobody deserves it more than you do <3 <3 <3.

      • You are the best QG. You inspire us to rise up at every occasion.

        The Comment Awards, and maybe most especially the Comments on the Comment Awards, is just the best place to be on the Interwebs.

        THANK YOU !

        K I’m going back into hiding, hangover baaaad

  9. This is without a doubt the greatest award I’ve ever received, but the best thing of all is being in such good company!

    • As a very gay bookworm and a former cataloguer, I simply loooove your classification system.

      Sorry Library of Congress, you’ve been topped by the Library of Hella Gay Congress.
