HELP ME FIND LOVE! I have tried everything to find a covid conscious partner

Every app, every cc dating page, so many online speed dating events. I have the best local CC friends. However, have yet to find the LOML even after YEARNING for my SWEETHEART as hard as I can since puberty, as is my lesbian duty.

I have not been active on tumblr in YEARS (the most recent posts you see are from 2022, was in an acotar phase) Otherwise I’ve visited every so often for fic and fun. But back when I was 13 (under another username) this place was my playground. I actually learned that queer people existed thanks to tumblr.)

but as I was traversing the wlw yearning tag during sad girl hours last night, I realized that I have tried everything…but tumblr.

after all, there are people who find true love here. after all, this site is where I found out that queer people existed.

so tumblr sapphics, I entreat you, be a part of my love story, help me find the one. Maybe your friend is the one, maybe your mutual is the one, maybe you are the one

requirements:

Age 24-30, sapphic

Must love Palestine as much as I do (to the moon and back and back again)

Must be still coviding (masking in public) and planning to be that way for the foreseeable future

Will love my tenderly and help me make up for all the hugs I’ve wished for

I don’t intend to be a parent but I intend to be an auntie and want a partner who plans the same

you don’t even have to be in the so-called USA but you have to be down with a) getting here at some point (I need cuddles) b) me wanting to stay here for now (all my people are here)

atm I consider myself femme4femme and monogamous

OKAY TUMBLR SAPPHICS GO GO GO GO HELP ME PLZ

[diskozone]

The world needs more love and this beautiful human that I call a friend is so deserving of it! I put it out into the universe and on Tumblr please do your magic and make this wish come true!!!

I love desire paths. There's something so wonderous about seeing an echo of humanity. Depending on it's location, a desire path can mean so many different things.

In a city, like the pic above, they represent rebellion, and efficiency. The messiness of humanity. We like to imagine we're oh so logical and neat so we design our cities to be logical and neat an then real humans literally trample on that idea. The ego required to think you can design something perfect that checks every box. Life is all about compromise and patching stuff when some new problem arises. Though people have certainly tried! Ohio state univeristy let students carve their desire paths, and then paved them over. It looks pretty artsy.

Some people will try to discourage desire paths, but this is almost always going to fail.

Eventually, people just have to accept them. Humans are too dang stubborn.

Certain desire paths are just adorable. A 0.5 second time saver. You just can't design for maximum efficiency, humans will always find shortcuts!

Though on occasion a desire path can actually be the least efficient way...especially if you're superstitious.

In a wilder area, such as below, they show us the curiosity of humans. A desire path somewhere natural often tells you there's something interesting just ahead. (Though remember some ecosystems are fragile and will suffer if trampled! Stick to paths in these sorts of areas)

And how about desire stairs? I always think these look so cool. We get see humans determination to climb, to traverse every kind of terrain.

And for something really crazy...a desire path used for centuries will create a 'holloway'

All of these pics are off the Desirepath subreddit, check them out for more examples! And many thanks to the users who submitted these photos.

Nick Offerman Answers the Web’s Most Searched Questions –WIRED, 2020

[cameoamalthea]

Have I mentioned how much I love Nick Offerman?

[cameoamalthea]

Nick described masculinity as an 'accusation' - "I'm often accused of masculinity. And, you know, I was born looking like this and I sound like this. You know, I did not cultivate [this]. I don't go to the gym. I'm not chasing masculinity. And so it's always seemed a little strange to me as a mincing theater artist to be accused of being manly. I am pretty handy at splitting firewood or changing a tire, but so are the women in my family. And so I use it as an opportunity to encourage people to try and loosen their ideas about genderizing everything. I know ladies that are great woodworkers and I know men that make an amazing quiche and everything across every spectrum in between.” (source) And this is his reaction to "having his man card revoked"

He is free now!

I can’t stop laughing because…

like I don’t know how you can get more obvious than tweeting “I’m sure I’m bisexual,” but clearly The Sun isn’t convinced

tbt to the time a bi woman explicitly said she was sure she was bisexual and “journalists” were like

& that 1% regret rate is almost entirely “Yes I’m still trans but the surgery was bad, or the transphobia i encounter is so much worse than anticipated, or I was pushed towards a specific treatment by my binary-oriented doctor when I wanted a non-binary transition” etc.

Actual ‘whoops, I don’t identify as trans anymore” cases are closer to 0,02%.

[earhartsease]

people absolutely get to detransition and retransition and whatever (I personally know about six people who "detransitioned" from being binary trans people, and then transitioned again later as nonbinary people, for example) but the idea that a small number of people going "oops got this wrong" somehow justifies gatekeeping everyone else is criminal, and mostly a deliberate ploy to block us from getting what we need

Didn’t realize someone had posted this on Tumblr. Cool.

As exhausting as all the blowback I’ve gotten for this (trans women are remarkable able to unify misogynists and radical feminists in their disgust of us), I’ve been really touched by how many people have reached out to say this argument has changed their mind on the subject.

I’m going to keep talking about it until it stops happening, or trans women cease being murdered for triggering male anxieties.

Hey this is super important. Thanks for having the bravery to say it.

And,“ she said, “if you have someone who stays up with you in the middle of the night to make sure you’re okay - somebody who answers your calls at 2 or 3 or 4am - someone who listens to your sobs, or your silence, or your words with patience, you have somebody who loves you. And you’re lucky for it. And no matter how dark things get, you shouldn’t forget that.
