The Parlour host will rotate week-to-week among the editors and team writers of Autostraddle, so you’ll get to hear from a queer chorus.

    The following Hacks season four review contains some spoilers for the first two episodes of the season. After watching the first two episodes of Hacks season four, I texted my friend to say it felt like watching more Yellowjackets. I was joking, but I also sort of wasn’t. The first two episodes of Hacks season four have brutal power games, manipulation, extortion, coyotes both real and dreamed, and women trying to destroy each other. Doesn’t it sound not entirely unlike Yellowjackets?

    Let’s be real: All bodies of water are a little bit lesbian — but some are more than others. I couldn’t feature EVERY lesbian body of water on this quiz, because there are simply too many! Maybe one day I should do a list of the 25 most lesbian bodies of water. Sound off in the comments if that’s a good idea!!!!!!! We’re at a cute queer coffee shop.

    The following article contains some spoilers for ep. 1-4 of The Studio. Welcome to our series called Dykes Discuss, where we discuss media and topics that aren’t necessarily lesbian-forward but that we still want to weigh in on! We have fun!Kayla: We’re dykes and we have been watching The Studio on Apple TV. Drew: Something about me is I love Seth Rogen. Kayla: I do, too!Drew: The summer of 2007 was big for me because Knocked Up and Superbad were the first two movies I ever snuck into.
