hiii lesbians, if anyone is interested there’s a lesbian-only server.
18+. female-only.
most women in it are radfem or leftist and it has a combination of casual and discussion channels. within it are also specific channels for lesbians of colour, detrans, ex-christians, and ex-muslims.
e sometimes plan meet-ups! there’s a selfie verification requirement!
If you watch Harry Potter youre supporting trans genocide but if you watch porn that says nothing about whether or not you support misogynistic violence and human trafficking :-)
"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence
Hi! We are Colectiva Lésbica (Lesbian Collective), a radical feminist/lesbofeminist activist group from South America!
🌸 Who are we?
We are currently a group of four women, all lesbians, committed to building collectively with other women and to distancing ourselves as much as possible from heteropatriarchal culture. As far as we are aware, we are the only organization in the country specifically focused on lesbian feminists. We are based in Argentina.
🌸 Objectives
We aspire to become more than just an activist group. Our goal is to build a proper lesbofeminist society from scratch, rejecting the rules and ways of life created by and for men, and re-imagining what society could look like if it were built by women, for women (having our own culture, our own commemorative dates, our own cultural symbols, our own history, our own economic system, etc.).
We also seek to build a network of mutual support and care among lesbians, in order to fight the isolation and precarization we experience as lesbians.
🌸 Why the exclusive focus on lesbian feminists?
Not only have we seen and experienced this ourselves, but we have also spoken with both radical feminists and queer activists who have been active in political organizing since at least the 1990s. It is a fact that lesbians are always the least listened to, whose needs and problems are pushed to the background, while at the same time being the ones who do the most, who sacrifice the most, and who put their bodies on the line in the most difficult situations.
Because we learn from history and do not want to repeat it, we decided to create what is currently the only space where lesbians are the protagonists.
🌸 What do we do?
We organize different activities, usually aimed at other lesbian feminists, although we generally also welcome non-lesbian women who are interested in what we do. Most of our activities take place in person, but we occasionally organize online activities as well. Some of the things we do include:
-Movie discussions (we watch a movie and then discuss it, or do an activity related to it)
-Book clubs (we read books or short texts and discuss them together)
-Talk groups, which we call asambleas: open meetings where we choose certain topics, reflect on them, and try to come up with solutions, new ideas, and collective reflections
-Through these activities, we raise funds that we use either to organize more activities or to donate directly to lesbians who need support
🌸 We are not experts in what we do; our fuel is the desire to help other women and our love for lesbians.
Every experience helps us learn and grow.
🌸 Nice to meet you all~!

Versión en español! (adaptada de la versión en inglés, que fue escrita primero).
Holi~! Somos Colectiva Lésbica, un grupo activista feminista radical/lesbofeminista de América del Sur.
🌸 Quiénas somos?
Actualmente somos un grupo de cuatro mujeres, todas lesbianas, todas enfocadas en construir con otras y distanciarnos lo más posible de la cultura heteropatriarcal. Hasta donde sabemos, somos la única organización en el país enfocada específicamente en las lesbianas feministas. Vivimos en Argentina.
🌸 Objetivos
Aspiramos a convertirnos en algo más que un grupo activista. Queremos construir una verdadera sociedad lesbofeminista desde cero, rechazando las reglas y formas de vida creadas por y para los hombres, y reimaginando cómo sería una sociedad construida por mujeres y para las mujeres (con nuestra propia cultura, nuestras propias fechas conmemorativas, nuestros propios símbolos culturales, nuestra propia historia, nuestro propio sistema económico, etc.).
También buscamos formar una red de contención y apoyo entre lesbianas, para combatir el aislamiento y la precarización que sufrimos como lesbianas.
🌸 Por qué el enfoque exclusivo en lesbianas feministas?
No solo lo hemos visto y vivido en carne propia, sino que también hemos hablado con feministas radicales y activistas queer que participan en espacios de militancia al menos desde los años 90: es un hecho que las lesbianas somos siempre las menos escuchadas, cuyas necesidades y problemáticas quedan relegadas a un segundo plano, mientras que al mismo tiempo somos quienas más hacemos, quienas más sacrificamos y quienas ponemos el cuerpo en las situaciones más difíciles.
Porque aprendemos de la historia y no queremos repetirla, decidimos crear lo que hoy es el único espacio donde las lesbianas somos las protagonistas.
🌸 Qué hacemos?
Organizamos distintas actividades, generalmente orientadas a otras lesbianas feministas, aunque también solemos aceptar la participación de mujeres no lesbianas que estén interesadas en lo que hacemos. La mayoría de nuestras actividades son presenciales, pero ocasionalmente también realizamos actividades online. Algunas de las cosas que hacemos son:
-Cine-debates (vemos una película y luego la debatimos, o realizamos alguna actividad relacionada)
-Clubes de lectura (leemos libros o textos cortos y los discutimos en conjunto)
-Asambleas, conversatorios: encuentros abiertos donde elegimos ciertos temas, reflexionamos sobre ellos e intentamos construir soluciones, ideas nuevas y reflexiones colectivas
-A través de estas actividades, recaudamos fondos que utilizamos para organizar más actividades o para donar directamente a lesbianas que lo necesitan
🌸 No somos expertas en lo que hacemos: nuestro combustible es el deseo de ayudar a otras mujeres y el amor por las lesbianas.
Cada experiencia nos ayuda a aprender y a crecer.
Within the wagons of Mexico City's subway, there are people who informally sell stuff like bubblegum, candies but also (surgical) masks, lighters, paper tissue and trinkets. These subway vendors are semi-organized and semi-clandestine as selling within the subway is not allowed.
The majority of vendors come from difficult situations of drug addiction, having been recently released from prision, or homelessness. However, they organize by cells specially to warn themselves about police operations that might detain them. This often ends up in beatings and "confiscation of the goods they're selling.
A lot of these vendors are women, often from these aforementioned backgrounds, and who struggle not only with police violence but also violence from other vendors. They often sell their goods while taking care of their children, and you can often see them carrying them around.
Silvana Domínguez among other women, organized and founded "Leonas A.C" a non profit, workers' union that fights for better working rights and conditions for women subway vendors and against male violence towards working women.
They were inspired by feminist workshops organized by the city's government. And are one of the few actual working and female union currently fighting for an specific goal.
“ohhh men aren’t allowed to cry” “men get no emotional support” “the only flowers men ever get are at their funerals” “no one compliments men on their outfits” no actually there are men who cry and are tender with each other and give each other flowers and compliments they’re just called faggots and you beat them to death if they try to associate with you
y también váyanse muchísimo a la chingada todos los pinches latinoamericanos lamebotas que han pedido intervención de EUA en sus países, nunca se van a poder lavar la sangre de sus compatriotas de las manos, púdranse en el infierno
starting an extremely matriarchal and misandrist religion so i can spend the rest of my life ordering doctors and everyone else i encounter to respect my sincerely held religious beliefs
I wish more womyn would adopt the attitude that they can learn and do anything if they put their minds to it. No man would say he's fundamentally incapable of learning vehicle maintenance, carpentry, wood working, mechanics, handyman stuff, learning to use tools, etc etc. He just assumes he can learn how to do whatever strikes his fancy. Well so can we.
