^^^^what Punk-Ass said (great name, btw)

We’re a queer media company surviving through interactions with our readers, and if you’ve ever consumed any sort of media at all, you know affiliate linking and sponsored content are par for the course. Nothing we do here is veiled, not even thinly, thanks to our dedicated leaders who update you guys about the financial situation at every turn. I can’t remember a single time Autostraddle has asked for money without saying exactly where that money is going and why.

But also, like, this isn’t one of those situations. I didn’t rub my hands together and say “I wonder how many affiliate links I could get them to click on today!” I just wanted to talk about pajamas, and it seemed sort of silly to say “Look at all this cool shit!” but then not tell you where to buy it. So I picked stuff I liked from retailers that would (read: have the resources to) directly furbish a portion of the money you spend back to a queer woman-run organized (hi!). I don’t see how that situation isn’t win-win-win.
