Hello, I'm trying?!

I am a Mediterranean, Arab, Muslim, lesbian/queer. I started this blog 5 years ago when I was 27, I'm now 33. Blog technically ABANDONED, sorry.🇵🇸

I'm really considering the possibility of a lavender marriage... any thoughts? Experiences?

Happy Lesbian Visibility Day!

Help a muslim lesbian escape arranged marriage, organized by Naailah Hakim

I'm making this fundraiser on behalf of my friend River, as it isn't safe… Naailah Hakim needs your support for Help a muslim lesbian escape

Very nervous about making this post. This has been a long time coming, but to actually have it happen feels rlly scary. "feel the fear and do it anyway" I suppose?

One of my best friends is organising this fundraiser for me. The details can be found in the link but the gist is:

My name’s River, I'm a muslim lesbian in the middle east, I'm physically disabled, parents are extremely abusive+controlling, and I'm being made to marry a man later this year. I don't have money, nor can I make any, and I need to escape this household and country before then so that I can start a safer, better life insha'allah.

Please donate and reblog this post, and thank you to everyone that chooses to help💖

I made a small short sad gay mermaid comic that I just so happened to finish on coming out day!

[blueapplesiren]

I want a second one where they find out they can now both switch forms at will, and they live in both worlds as shape-shift-er girlfriends. 

[bonesbunns]

Its been a few years since I made the comic; I thought it was about time for them to have a happy ending!

israel is currently bombing damascus, syria in the middle of the night while the world is focused on the situation in the united states. please take the time to read through the carrd linked on this thread to spread awareness and help the syrian people in anyway you can

[melodramas]

this is a carrd that details how to help syria, lebanon, and palestine

this thread details how to help syrians and includes donation links

[melodramas]

here’s a reminder signing petitions will not help most of the situations in the middle east! instead, look through the links above to find places where you can donate to trustworthy organizations or to syrian people directly. 

if you can’t donate, reblog to boost

[melodramas]

update: this thread talks about which sites you should and should not be donating to

[kyoshisgf]

a lot of people (in any space but this is specifically abt sapphic/wlw spaces) don’t realize how much white people dominate and influence our community’s culture

with things like music, white artists are celebrated and promoted to the point where that artist becomes heavily associated with said community, and that is a big problem

many people can go their whole lives only consuming media created by white people because white media is more accessible due to the privelges afforded to white artists

white artists can have ties to music industries (like clairo) or can have the financial means to create and promote their art

on the other hand, many black and brown artists do not have that luxury. artists like noname (a black rapper) have to constantly go on tour even when they don’t want to just to be able pay for necessities like rent

white sapphics/wlw, as a part of a marginalized community, should make more of an effort to uplift and promote independent black and brown artists

The post with the free PDF of Stone Butch Blues is circulating again, and I've failed to see anyone mention this, so: Yes, Leslie Feinberg is an LGBT+ icon and hir novel is an indispensable piece of history that has helped so many lesbians and transmascs understand the cultural context of their identities. I am not arguing against that. However, it contains at least seven or eight, more if I recall correctly, rape scenes and references to rape and sexual assault within the first like 100 pages alone, so if you're someone who's sensitive to that, this may not be a piece of media you can safely engage with.

The copy of Stone Butch Blues given to me by an elder ten or so years ago had all of the sexual assault scenes highlighted so that anyone reading it could either choose to skip it or at least have warning, so maybe we could do something like that for a PDF?

[c3rvida3]

A follower of mine was able to go through and create a highlighted version!

Here are the links: 

Drive

UFile

I haven't been able to personally verify that every little thing is highlighted, so if something is missing, e-mail me at [email protected] and I can see about having it edited in!

[c3rvida3]

Oh! Worth noting that instances of police brutality have also been highlighted, if that was a concern for you.
