Yesterday Kristin got in bed with Andrea Long Chu and it was exactly as WOW as you’d expect it to be. Within the first few minutes of the show Kristin declared herself 1/16 as smart as Andrea is (a feeling we can all probably relate to) and Andrea explained what it feels like to pee while your genitals are numb so it was destined to be a wild ride! We also had some particularly all-star comments throughout the show, with Riese trolling, Carmen Maria Machado showing up (!!!), and Heather announcing that this was her favorite episode of GIBWK ever!
If you’re unfamiliar with Andrea and her work, first of all have you been living under an internet rock and second of all, let’s catch you up! Andrea is a brilliant writer and thinker who is extremely prolific on Twitter, where her bio reads “sad trans girl & phd candy.” To get a taste of her work, start by reading: On Liking Women, Buffy’s Silent Episode Was An Elegy For Its Gays (published on Autostraddle dot com!!) and No One Wants It, the review of Jill Soloway’s book that is referenced quite a bit in this episode!
Kristin and Andrea talked about so many different things, including but not limited to: Andrea’s childhood, her book, and her coming out story, both Andrea and Kristin’s backgrounds in theater, their favorite musicals, how good it feels when strangers on the internet like you and your thoughts, bad poetry (a new GIBWK theme!), what would happen if Nanette was a musical, and of course, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. WE ALSO LEARNED THAT ANDREA CAN DO A STELLAR BRITISH, AUSTRALIAN, AND NEW ZEALAND ACCENT!!! To hear all this and more – and to listen to Kristin exclaim and laugh every time Riese posts a comment that could be defined as trolling – go ahead and watch this episode! It’s a very nice treat; you deserve it.
Kristin will be back with a new solo episode of Getting In Bed With Kristin next week on Tuesday, November 13 at 5pm EST. It will be an AMA and Kristin will be by herself (well, Sam might show up, too) so get your questions ready! If you want to ask anything anonymously in advance, go to bit.ly/GIBWK and submit a question today. See you then!
Yesterday Kristin got in bed with Mary Lambert and it was extremely wonderful! Incase you’re not already squealing with excitement, let us remind you that Mary is a singer, songwriter, poet, Professional Feelings Haver, and just a lovely sparkly human being. Mary literally just released her first professionally published book of poetry, Shame Is An Ocean I Swim Across, and is in New York this week for a book signing that is happening THIS VERY EVENING! TODAY! More details about that below the video.
Mary and Kristin talked about a million different topics, giggled a lot, and almost made microwave popcorn. Here are some (but definitely not all) of the topics discussed in this episode: cartoon crushes, mental health, bad teen poetry, shopping for hot plus size clothing, Mary’s music recommendations, lipstick, and of course, Mary’s brand new book (which, if you were wondering, is a Scorpio, because it just got born yesterday). Mary also performed a brand new poem, got IN Kristin’s bed, and strongly endorsed sending your “casual” date a book of annotated poetry (with the caveat that if you wanna do that, you’re probs not casual).
If you want to see Mary Lambert read her poetry, you can find her at the following events:
+ Thursday, 10/25 (that’s today!) at Barnes & Noble Tribeca, New York, NY at 6pm
+ Sunday, 11/4 at Barnes & Noble at the Grove, Los Angeles, CA at 1pm
Kristin will be back with a new episode of Getting In Bed With Kristin on Tuesday, November 6 (ELECTION DAY!) at 5pm EST with Andrea Long Chu! See you then!
This week Kristin had a very stressful time getting logged on to our livestream because Facebook is a nightmare and was very sad to be late because she hates being late! However, once she finally logged on, everything was beautiful and she gave advice about self care, making sure you’re registered to vote, getting a parent up to speed on what it means to have a non-binary kid, crushes, friendship, and Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble! We also got a cameo from Sam the Cat, an extremely independent woman who hates hanging out in front of the camera, and learned that Kristin is getting a brand new bed frame very soon, so be sure to join us next time to check that out!
Also something to look forward to next time? Kristin will be joined in bed with ray of sunshine, poet, singer, and total superstar Mary Lambert! Make sure to tune in on Wednesday, October 24 at 3pm EST to get in bed with Kristin and Mary!
This week Kristin got in bed with Autostraddle senior editor Heather Hogan to talk about queer representation on teevee, spirituality vs. religion and, of course, cats. Special guest appearance by Socks Bobbi the Cat, Teddy the Bear, Pancake the Chimpanzee, and Heather’s favorite artwork.

This week Kristin got in Sophia Wallace’s bed and talked about cliteracy, feeling comfortable with body parts that we’ve been taught to feel shame about, book club crushes, the patriarchy, a missing giant gold clit statue, Sophia’s cute dog and her perfect bangs, and honestly, if you can believe it, so much more!
Welcome back to Getting in Bed With Kristin! This week Kristin is joined, once again, by Sam the Cat as she answers advice questions about self-care, regulating psychiatric meds, coming out, self-care, job hunts, dating apps and so much more!
Join Kristin on August 16th on our Facebook live as she gets in bed with Sophia Wallace.
Welcome back to Getting in Bed with Kristin! You noticed, I’m sure, that this episode of GIBWK isn’t behind the A+ paywall. That’s because, going forward, all new episodes of GIBWK will be available to everyone who reads Autostraddle! We hope that you’ll still consider joining A+; Autostraddle needs 500 new members to survive through 2019 — but we also don’t want the cost of a subscription to keep people from being able to get advice and engage with the community in our weekly video series.
This week, Kristin’s back with an AMA!
The next episode of Getting in Bed With Kristin is on August 10th at 3pm PST/6pm EST on Autostraddle’s Facebook live. Make sure you’re following Autostraddle on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook to stay up to date with new episodes.
Reneice came over and we baked cookies IN MY BED
I mean, technically they baked in the oven but everything before the baking was done in my bed. We answered lots of fun food-related questions like how to cook good meals without an oven, what are the best spices to have on hand, and also told our baking fail moments. Plus, we even answered some relationship advice whilst rolling cookie dough balls.
Tune in next Thursday when you can get in bed with lil ol me and ask any ol question you like! Advice for everyonnnnne! x

Thank goodness that Erin Sullivan exists, and thank even more goodness that she has been going on first dates and taking notes for all of us so that we might LEARN. We talk about Tinder profiles, first messages, where to go, what to do when you’re both shy, and Jenny has some music and some thoughts on ways to break the ice. I learned a lot and so shall you.
Tune in this Thursday for RHEA BUTCHER. Wooooo!
