I absolutely loved this season of #TheLegendOfVoxMachina - it brought together the best of the #CriticalRole moments with enough newness to keep it fresh and exciting. And I wrote all about it! www.autostraddle.com/the-legend-o...
‘The Legend of Vox Machina’ Season Four Is Its Most Dramatic (and Best) Yet
Remember, this show is based on a real D&D game, and if most of your characters aren't queer, are you even playing D&D right?

WNBA’s Caitlin Clark Problem Is Really America’s Black Woman Problem

New Yorkers think they’re so much cooler than everyone else with their Zohran Mamdani and their leftist congressional candidates and their championship trophy and they are correct
This is actually the secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord

It's funny how well I remember 10 years ago today even though I had no idea how impactful #WynonnaEarp would be. I knew it was special and that I had a blast live-tweeting the premiere, but I had no idea it would bring me some of the most important people in my life and some of my favorite memories.

Oh that #ParadiseHulu finale was IT! Ryan Michelle Bathé and Krys Marshall were not joking when they said the show wouldn't take its foot off the gas. I'm ready for season 3 NOW!
Get you the kinds of friends you can hang out with for 8 hours and still be shocked when you look at the clock because it feels like almost no time has gone by 💜

Update: I do not hate them and we are still friends!!! 💜
Valerie Anne@punkystarshine.bsky.social · 6mo agoI wish someone would tell my nervous system that someone I've been friends with for 13 years won't suddenly decide she hates me because my baseboards are dusty when she comes over. My HEART knows it but you'd never guess that based on the rate my brain is whirring about it.
#Ponies is a really fun, action-packed, and surprisingly queer show that I highly recommend! www.autostraddle.com/ponies-deliv...
'Ponies' Delivers Sapphic Spies and Female Friendship
It's nice to have a queer story that is about two adult women who aren't tortured by their attraction to another woman.

The time has come: I couldn't contain it any longer and I have finally written about #SchoolSpirits! I can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings. www.autostraddle.com/school-spiri...
'School Spirits' Season 3 Scares Up a Non-Binary Ghost
I knew the actor who plays Quinn, Ci Hang Ma, was non-binary so I was wondering if Quinn would be too, and I'm really glad they're making it a specific storyline.
