Hello my little gayelles! I think last week I forgot to read like 6 articles for comments, so I’m sorry. There was probably something funny in there that I missed. But also this week I accidentally read 3 older articles and gave terracottatoes an award for something she had won an award for last week, so. Also sorry terracottatoes, I had to get rid of that one.
This week we got baked with Autostraddle for the breakfast edition! Bklyn Boihood is back to talk about being queer, or being not queer. Riese’s friend Krista gives the best breakup/life advice you might ever read, so go print that out, and Riese herself writes a beautiful article about Britney Spears, which you should read even if you don’t like her (Britney, not Riese. Everyone likes Riese).
Make sure to catch up on last weekend’s Dinah Shore shenanigans , and watch The Real L Word parody part 2! Which I haven’t seen yet but am 100% confident that it is hilarious.

I hear Trish and Elizabeth will be on Oprah. Oprah already bought Trish a rainbow. The next time you see a rainbow, it might be Trish’s. If you follow the rainbow to it its source and you see it erupting from a girl’s mouth, you just found Trish.

Good stuff!
My band at the time got to be the support act for them for most of that year so I got to see them play every night for months. There were a lot of moments where I just thought ‘man, these guys are doing all the right things and making a lot of queer kids feel a zillion times better about their lives’.
Other times I just snuck into their dressing room and drank their beers.
<3
waste, captain, SP, & e – that's some hardcore team effort right there.
Funnier thing (to me, but I’m weird) is Jader had a comment right under e, but it wasn’t included in this. Obviously she needs to be funnier. Letting the team down for y’all.
i can only fit so much in a screencap before it becomes totally illegible
Oh, I get that, but it doesn’t mean I can’t give her a hard time for not being funny enough ;)
The BBQ Team always wins at all things forever.
when i saw this in my email, i thought it was a reply to the veganized sandwiches article.
::chestbump::
BBQ Team FTW!
<3 thankyou.
I think that the winner of these should receive a free AS t-shirt!! If THAT was the case I’d try to be A LOT wittier than I already am!! ROTFLMBO! :)
OMG I WOULD NEVER HAVE TO GO NAKED AGAIN
This is like my 4th drunken award and I am yet to receive so much as a fingerblast. Am I doing it wrong?
I’ll be right over. Stay drunk.
TEAM NACHO STRIKES AGAIN!
Why do the same people win all the time?? Are you ladies supply the booze to the AS team???
In my case, yes. BAMF!
i try and give as many awards as i can to people who have never won, or don’t win very often, but the people who win usually comment on every single article so it’s just more likely that they’ll say something funny/witty/smart/whatever, you know?
i think a few new people won this week though. also they probably don’t read this anyway, but i hope ami does because i’m still wondering about the lesbian sex school.
but the free booze totes helps.
shhhhh
we’re too poor for that, so we gave them coupons to booze.
sorry, ran out of coupons two weeks ago. we’re now giving out rainchecks on the coupons on the booze.
I meant supplying the booze. LOL
Woo I feel like I should keep a little gold star record for every time I get a comment award and show it off to all my internet friends.
I AM GLAD MY WITTY HAS LONGEVITY ALL THE WAY INTO A WEEK IT WASN’T EVEN SAID IN. THANKS EMILY & THE AS TEAM.
ALL THE CAPSLOCK!
ARE BELONG TO US!
(OLD MEME IS OLD, BUT I COULDN’T RESIST.)
ITS CAPS O’CLOCK
pretty stoked that i got the The This One Time, At Band Camp Award, because i have an ACTUAL band camp story…. ;)
Dooooooo share.
it was grade 8.
all the girls were staying in one dorm.
i decided we should play spin the bottle. ;)
LOL
ohhh, being thirteen….
ha, love it! :) I wanna know about the lesbian school in Toronto?
Yes tell tell!
i would like to go to lesbian school plzty. i feel like i should’ve been informed of this when I came out. Like, hooray, youre gay, have a party, here’s some cake, and you’ll be spending the summer at lesbian camp.
SO MANY PEOPLE WOULD COME OUT.
This, please.
A lesbian summer camp would be so helpful! I’m literally the only lesbian I know, irl. And I live in Southern California! I don’t even…
Plus, shenanigans could occur. And I love me some shenanigans.
That is ridic! Where in S. Cal? I’m in orange county.
There’s Camp Betty in Sydney, which is an alternative/radical sexuality & gender camp in June, does that count? It would be winter down here though.
MY COMMENT AWARD IS MOSTLY FOR TERRACOTTATOES BUT I’M STILL PUMPED. My life as an AS community members has risen to a new level.
OH NO IT’S ALL YOU RAGDOLL <3 ALLLLLLL YOUUUUUU! YOU'RE A STAR
<3!
I fail to understand how my Whiskey comment made it through the screening process, but my VEGEMITE one didn’t. Are you all just Vegemite haters or what? I’ll resist caps-lock for now, because my mother raised me better than that.
NOTHING and I mean NOTHING beats Vegemite toast for brekky and yet no Aussies were consulted in the making of this list? I smell conspiracy. And also yeast..considering that’s what Vegemite mostly of….. (joke).
Ok, seriously, I think I have a drinking crush on you. I want to get together and booze it up with you. How can we make this happen?
I’ll buy you some Vegemite to sweeten the deal.
just wanna inform all you lesbos who are jealous of my sex schooling….
normally it works in my favour (sorta like a resume i can cite i guess haha)
but this weekend a friend mentioned it to a girl i was with at the bar and she got SO INTIMIDATED she almost didnt take me home
was not good.
LOL, your right, I guess it can work both ways, very funny…
