There’s a lot of confusing information out there but this here is the real true history of LGBTQ+ nominees for Lead and Supporting Actress Oscars — a field in which queer roles are often rewarded, but out queer people very rarely are.
Let's play a game of This Or That for Yellowjackets S3E3 "Them's the Brakes" (if you need a refresher, check out our recap here: autostraddle.com/yello…)
"If even the youngest amongst us aren’t sinking into hopelessness, then we shouldn’t either."
"Sam deserved to keep living this life every day, and he deserved to grow up even further, to grow old, to achieve his goals, and get every single thing he desired."
"The Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website has removed the word transgender and any mention of trans people. But was the Stonewall National Monument ever worthy of its radical roots?"

Book covers for Why on Earth, The Secret Public, The Trial Period, and Queer lasting all in a row. Beneath, text reads: Why On Earth: An Alien Invasion Anthology, edited by Rosiee Thor and Vania Stoyanova (Sci-Fi). Queer characters--including humans and aliens!--populate some of the stories featured in this multi-author collection of literally out of this world fiction.
Oh hey I spy WHY ON EARTH on this @autostraddle.bsky.social list of most anticipated queer books! 🌈📚

Plus, you simply HAVE to see this pic of Cynthia Erivo and Olivia Colman together. And more queer celeb IG updates.

Genuinely useful explainer from @autostraddle.bsky.social on Trump's executive orders, focusing particularly on anti-trans material. Outlines where the dangers lie, the significant limits to Trump's power, plus spaces for mainstream political resistance and contestation.
