Lesbian Land Is More Than A Fantasy

29. Living on womyn's land. Here to encourage womyn to get out to lesbian land and to answer questions about the reality of being a member of a lesbian land community.  Lesbian community is your heritage and right; reach out and be the next generation.  Send me an ask or a message!

Tired of the alpha gal fake news 😔 sorry it's just not that bad, it's the best of all possible tick related health problems. It's just not that hard to avoid mammal meat, and it's very rare to have to avoid dairy because it has much less alpha gal in it than meat... literally there are no problems with having it if you just don't eat mammal meat. Source: I have it and it's literally fine

I do actually think it would be hilarious if it took down big beef tho tbh

personally i find conversations about whether Global Majority Female Separatism is possible quite misguided and self-defeating. my big beautiful pipe dream is not even Global Majority Female Separatism, it's like... 15% of women worldwide having access to a womyn's land, an intentional community, a single-sex housing association and/or an explicitly feminist mutual aid network. and if we're shooting for the stars? i'd love to see a 30%. there are places i could go to find Russian diaspora in multiple countries in the world; why cannot women as a class and a politically conscious group have vocal, defined, physical presence in our own countries or even freaking continents?

those spaces are not going to spring from conversations in which we give up before we ever even start; they won't come from us tiptoeing around it and leading with the disclaimers. when we describe those spaces and networks, we need to sound SECURE. those ideas need to sound APPEALING. our rhetoric needs to be PROVOKING. we need to inspire bold political imagination in women around us if we want them to try and create - or participate in - something viable

single-sex changing rooms, bathrooms, shelters, hospital wards - all these spaces are incredibly important, but they are also liminal and transitional. we need something stable, grounded, continuous. without it, i truly believe we are missing out on a huge resource of female connection, consciousness, solidarity, resilience, re-skilling and organizing power; and we are missing out on a sense of strong, secure identity. we deserve better than what we have right now, and we do ourselves no favours by coming up with reasons why we cannot have it all. and if we cannot have it all? fine. let's talk about the incredible possible benefits of having a fraction of it, rather than all the countless drawbacks and obstacles we can think of

I changed the jointer knives successfully in the wood shop we have on the land (they haven't been changed since the 80s)

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.

Also nail guns are so fun. My battery powered framing nailer and 15ga nailer are *chef's kiss*

You really haven’t experienced lesbian feminist culture until you’ve been to a land, festival or gathering. We have something of a recently-developed online culture (wuornosposting, mouse to a kia sorento, meme of dworkin passing you the joint, men will see a rat and eat it) but it truly pales in comparison to the Living In Community experience forged from being in close quarters and making something work. It boggles my mind how many women on here are hardly connected in real life to other feminists much less to an active, living culture passed on to us directly from the (still very much alive!) feminists of the second wave.

Tbh my job on the leftist commune would be foraging and preserving food. Not too be too practical about it. I love canning and eating wild stuff
