Unconventional Minimalist Tattoos 

An illustrator and graphic designer Caitlin Thomas opened up a tattoo studio Adelaide, South Australia to showcase her talent and eye for design. Composed of black lines, the simple tattoos she designs hold a paradoxical quality. They are both simple and complex. When one looks closer at the tattoos, its details and fine lines are revealed. Featuring whimsical subjects like the moon, wild life and different landscapes, Thomas creates stunning, artistic and stylish contemporary body art.

this is a conversation, or a poem of sorts, i suppose, that i imagined between sappho and a girl realizing that she loves another girl. it’s a bit of a personal project, i guess; all of sappho’s part in the conversation is taken from the fragments of her poetry, and it’s supposed to symbolize how girls who love girls can find someone like them in sappho.

the lines are, in order, from fragments 138, 118, 57, 156, 104b, 15, 36, 31, 96, 47, and 126. all of those are the lobel-page numberings, with the exception of 15, which is bergk’s numbering and which the lobel-page collection omits.

‘straight people have it easier than lesbians’: a controversial statement, apparently

[jakesbackyall]

Heteromantic Aces are not straight. They are asexual and heteromantic. Asexuality is part of lgbtqia+. The a doesn’t stand for ally.

[meshugenist]

het aces are absolutely straight. “straight”, “gay”, and “bisexual” refer to which gender(s) one is attracted to. if someone is attracted exclusively to another gender, then they are straight.

if being het ace made one not straight, then it would logically follow that being “homoromantic ace” would make one not gay, which is obviously absurd. the idea that straightness and gayness are defined by how attraction is felt rather than who the attraction is felt towards, and thus the idea that not being sexual invalidates that straightness or gayness, is also highly problematic because it assumes that gayness is inherently sexual.

lgbt is specifically people who are materially oppressed due to their gender or what gender(s) they are attracted to, not how that attraction is felt.

ace ppl (who are cishet) are not oppressed on these grounds bc they are marginalized based on how that attraction is felt, and so have different needs for a community.

the idea of one singular community for all people who are marginalized for any aspect of their identity is unrealistic and presents a huge number of problems (not to mention even the traditional lgbt community isn’t like this either; there are different spaces for people with different needs).

those who are ace belong in the ace community, those who are gay belong in the gay community, those who are trans belong in the trans community, etc. obviously there is overlap in these identities and communities, but that doesn’t mean that people who are attracted exclusively to another gender, and are thus straight, are somehow just as marginalized as lesbians and belong in the same spaces for the same reasons. het ace people absolutely have it easier than lesbians, full stop.

also, the A actually did originally stand for ally, but not for the reasons you would think. this was the case because it allowed some closeted lgbt people to participate in lgbt events without outing themselves and putting themselves at risk of violence.

Telling a lesbian that sexuality is fluid is like telling a bisexual it is just a phase.

Either way, you are policing the legitimacy of someone’s sexuality.

[75c]

This is so important because “sexuality is fluid” and “this is just a phase” are phrases that straight people will tell both gay and bi women, in the hopes that they will end up with men.

We are valid. Solidarity with bi women

It found that PTSD was diagnosed in 20 to 30 percent of the Vietnam vets (…).The article also reported that PTSD is found in less than 5 percent of the general population - but is found in two-thirds of prostituted women.

Vednita Carter

Let that sink in - a higher percentage of prostitutes suffer from PTSD than Vietnam vets. May the men that caused this (pimps and johns) be punished, and the women forced to do such work be freed.

Happy 8th of March - accept no prostitution defense bullshit

can we do a thing where sapphic women in f/f relationships reblog this and gush about their gfs or wives and how happy they are together? maybe so that other wlw who are kind of feeling scared and alone right now due to the execution of yet another Bury The Gays trope in media know that happiness as a sapphic woman is very real and attainable

[claireesummers]

my gf is coming over later and im so happy and excited! we’re gonna watch a horror movie but i get scared so she kisses me during the scary parts. we’re also gonna do puzzles from one of those puzzle books for old women like we’re an old married couple and its gonna be great. she makes me so happy and someday we’re gonna live together in a glass house in the woods with a library in it. i am in love

[marrpie-deactivated20160410]

My gf lives 4 hours away and we haven’t seen each other in a month but honestly I would wait forever for her. I might see her this weekend, and I can’t wait to kiss her for the first time in awhile. If not this weekend we’ll see each other next weekend when we go to a concert together. The second time her and I hung out we saw my favorite band and I couldn’t stop staring at her, she looked so beautiful with the stage lights reflecting off her face. She grabbed my hand during one of the songs and my heart literally stopped in my chest. It’s been awhile since then and I’ve never been more in love with a person. In conclusion: My girlfriend is amazing, I love her, and one day we’ll own 47 dogs together.

[xaufeyson-archive-deactivated20]

my girlfriend and i are high school sweethearts. she was my best friend and we both had crushes on each other, and after two years we finally got together. we’ve been together for three years and working on fifty plus more. she’s far away at college right now, but we still are happy and get to meet up every two weeks or so. my gf is really soft and kind and beautiful. shes half a foot shorter than i am so i have to bend over to kiss her. she makes me really happy and every day i get to spend with her is the best day of my life.we plan on getting engaged and married and our friends and family are so excited for the both of us. we’re happy and in love and i can’t wait to spend the rest of our lifes together.

[squidwardchat-deactivated202205]

my girlfriend is sitting 4 feet away from where i’m sitting right now. she works 100% from home and i work 25% from home so we set up our offices so we can be together while we’re working. we send each other funny jokes and get to talk all day. we just got over being sick so later today we’re gonna snuggle and relax and enjoy spending time together. i’m so happy we’re together i love her so much, i can’t wait to buy a house and have it be our comfy home

[almostmaya]

i love this post. i love it. my girlfriend is the previous reblogger. i get to see her every day, she steals my loneliness away and i am so, so, lucky and so very in love.

[eatingpizzawithcophine-blog]

my gf lives pree far away from me ): but she is my best friend and my greatest friend and I would v much not have survived being a human this long without her. I get to see her in like 11 days!!! So so soon. And one day we won’t be as far, but until then we facetime sleepover every night and she makes me the happiest human. she’s got these eyes that remind me of the sea and one day we will travel around the world and do so many things together. I love love love her.

[janefondalesbian-archive-deacti]

me and my gf have been together for almost 2 years! we met at school and we flirted in our maths lessons all the time even when neither of us knew the other liked girls. i remember thinking ‘oh shit i have a straight girl crush’ until one night she told me she wanted to kiss me, and asked if i wanted to kiss her too. we’ve been together ever since and honestly, i don’t know where i’d be without her. she’s been there for me through everything, even when my mental illness has made it difficult. she’s the most generous and kindest person i’ve ever met. she’s not with me right now and it’s the first weekend we’ve spend apart for weeks and weeks so i feel a bit lost without her, but i know that when i see her again it will be worth it.

[officerheat]

hello me and my girlfriend have been together for over a year in a long distance relationship and by long distance i mean approximately  13329.26 kilometers. we have been together for over a year,calling every day and telling each other everything on our minds and making fun of each other’s quirks and loving each other. we have skype dates and we cook together and the other day she bought tickets to come see me in july!! we are going to be together for almost a month and the wait will be worth it,i’ll kiss her goodnight and call her short and hold her hand and share food with her and keep her safe when she has nightmares and she’s going to teach me how to cook without chopping my fingers off and i am so excited

[damelola]

My wife of three years is sitting opposite me watching terrible television and laughing her pretty head off at it. We’ve been together (with a few early, well-timed breaks) for almost 13 years. We have three cats, a cute flat full of books and lights and framed art that makes us smile every day. We’re planning to have a baby in the next couple of years. In a little while I’m gonna give her a look and we’re gonna go to bed, and yeah we’ll probably have to kick the cats off to get some high quality snuggling time, but we’ll get it. She’ll kick me in her sleep and I’ll mumble at her across the pillows sometime before the sun comes up.

We still get upset and angry when media gets it wrong, when it doesn’t represent us right and treats our lives as less than. But the life of more, better, amazing, and together is real and ongoing and the best thing that’s ever happened to me in my life. I wish someone this amazing for each and every one of you. Not this one though. She’s all mine <3

[littleoases]

I met my girlfriend after I wrote a book about two girls falling in love and she messaged me about it on Twitter (yeah, she’s got game). After a month of texting/calling/Facetiming, I bought a flight to New York to meet her. Turning the corner for baggage claim and spotting her at the end of the hallway was the fastest my heart ever beat. We’ve been together almost a year now. She has the prettiest eyes I’ve ever seen. When she goes home to see her family, she leaves Post-It notes for all her siblings telling them how much she loves them. Over Valentine’s weekend, she spent 20 minutes wiping dust off my fan so my allergies wouldn’t be as bad. We love drinking fancy cocktails on nights out, but we also love cooking together on nights in. Whenever we fly somewhere together, she holds my clammy hands and tells me the turbulence is normal. Last summer, we went to the pool and played tea party under the water like little kids, but we were also flirting above the water and this scandalized old woman was doing the “Harold, they’re lesbians!” face. Let me tell you: when someone figures out you’re queer because you’re so obviously in love and having fun, you just stop giving a damn. 

[mellowslinky]

My gf is a doctor and has been working nights, so if I’m around when she crawls into bed during the day she always asks me to “come cuddle”, and I’ll lay next to her until she falls asleep while she koala-hugs my arm. Her cute little sleeping head is resting on my shoulder right now. We have a cat called Moggie whom everyone thinks is a boy because we gave her a blue collar, and the walls of our little flat are covered in pictures of all the places we’ve been together. It’s been 2 years and I still get squeezy heart feelings when I look at her :)

[uninhibitedimagination]

My lovely wife is working out of state right now. She flies home every two weeks for the weekend and jets away on Monday. I miss her terribly. Currently, I’m cuddled up in bed with our four dogs, my laptop is sitting open on the nightstand, screen dark as my beautiful wife sleeps. She’s two time zones away, but always makes time for me. She’s about to begin med school in the fall so I’m job hunting where her school is right now. We’re looking at houses to buy and looking for renters to buy the house we own here. I met her on tumblr, we lived 2000 miles apart and dated long distance for 8 months, which is when she graduated undergrad and I graduated law school. She moved in with me, supported me as I study for the bar. We were married just over a year later and have now been married nearly two years. I love her with all my heart and can’t wait to being our new adventure together. She’s the best! I love you sweetheart.

[youreterriblemuriel]

I’m lying next to my lovely wife and we are reading all these stories together as we snuggle in bed.  We’ve been married two whole months and are still trying to unpack and organize our new house.  The dogs are lying at our feet.  Tomorrow we will sleep late, get coffee, and walk them together by the river before we start our day.

Things weren’t always this great or this easy, but when I met her she changed my life and I knew I wanted to be with her.  She felt the same so we made a relationship happen despite distance and disapproving families and other obstacles.  There were some rocks and shit, but I wouldn’t trade any of it because what we have now is pretty fucking amazing.

[ohhheyitsnic]

My wife and I met when we were 16, we met, became best friends immediately and fell in love, then started dating a year later after she kissed me because i was too scared to make a move. This year will be 13 years for us, we’ve been married 4 of those. She’s asleep next to me right now making the cutest sleep noises in my ear. We have 2 cats and a dog and we’re moving into a house this month. We’re also saving for a cross country move in a couple of years. By the end of this year we’re hoping to have our first little one well on the way. She is everything i could have ever asked for in a wife and a best friend. It’s been forever but I love her more every single day. There are such things as happy endings. Please don’t forget that.   

[employee645a]

My wife is at the other end of the couch I’m writing this from. Our 13th anniversary is in two weeks. She saw me in the bookstore I worked at and told her friend “I’m gonna marry her.” Two months later she actually talked to me and I fell hard for her. We’ve moved across the country. Gone on so many road trips. We have 3 cats and 2 dogs and work and write together. We drink too much coffee and stay up too late watching foreign films on Netflix and then get up and start all over again. I love our life together even more every day.

[rootspajamas]

After 6 years of trying, my wife is pregnant and we heard our baby’s heartbeat for the first time yesterday. We took an egg from me and she will be giving birth to our baby in October. nbd.

[wsswatson]

i’ve only been seeing my girlfriend for a few weeks but we were friends for about a year before that and we bonded over the fact that we have the same favourite band so i’ve shared some of my happiest memories e.g. going to concerts and parties and meeting musicians we both admire with her and we’re moving to our favourite city in a few months and we’re going to adopt kittens and we’ve already got plans for how we’re going to decorate our house and she’s so selfless and clever and funny and i’m so happy

[moon-peache]

my girlfriend is the most beautiful angel in the world!!! we have been together almost a year and a half and we are long distance rn (I’m New York she’s cali) but she’s coming to visit me in a little over a month and we are going to go to a show at the Guggenheim and hang out and do cute things!!!!!! she is so smart and kind and loving, she is always so patient with me when I’m being anxious and irrational and she never ever ever bullshits me about anything, like she doesn’t just say what I want to hear because she thinks it’s what I want to hear, she’s always honest. She is the sweetest girl and she makes every person she comes across smile and laugh, even the crankiest people. she is super hilarious and loves terrible puns!!!!!! I also think she should dye her hair blue but she is a beautiful blonde right now and she will look amazing no matter what!!!!!! one day I’m going to move to California and we’re going to live in a happy sunny house by the beach with an art studio out back and lots of happy bright colors and we’re going home to have two cats, a German shepherd, and four babies (because I love kids and really want to be a mom one day and I KNOW she will make a great mom too!!!!!!!)

[lesbiancousin]

my girlfriend is the best and most beautiful person ive ever met and she makes me happier than i ever thought i could be. she lives 6 hours away and we’ve been together for over a year and a half we met when we were 16 years old and i feel like im the person i am today because of her. i am so so so lucky to have her in my life and i just know we were meant to be together and that even if we didn’t meet when we were 16 we would have met sometime later for sure. next year we are going to either be in the same city in college together or only be a few hours away and finally get to see each other any time we like. i can’t wait for so many years with her to come. she is the light of my life and i am so so in love with her.

[ihateboys-deactivated20240714]

me and my gf met on tumblr in 2013 when we were 15 and 16 and now we are 17 and 18 and going strong. we started dating less than two weeks after we added each other on facebook…. stil going strong tho. she’s my favourite person in the world and we are thinking of moving in together later this year :) we’ve been together through the highest and the lows of the two most important years of our lives to date. high school drama, exams, family drama, starting university, depression, various emotional issues….we always work it out together though, we are so strong and so committed. my favourite thing we do together though, is basically since we we started dating we’ve called each other before sleep every night. i’ve developed some anxiety over sleeping and she calms me down every night by talking me to sleep - reading her readings aloud, talking nonsense or, my favourite, describing a world where we live together and we’re happy and content together. tht’s the most relaxing, happiest thing to think about and it always puts my anxieties at ease. <3

p.s. here’s a shoutout to my ace/celibate wlw out there. i’m living proof that you can have a happy, loving, respectful relationship without sex! xxxx :*

[amethystlesbian]

tuesday is my 6 month anniversary with my gf!! theyre wonderful and amazing and genuinely one of the kindest people I’ve ever known, and theyre soft and gentle and so funny and we love watching crime docos and danish crime dramas. last night we went to mardi gras and today we showered together so i could help get rid of all the glitter. they make me so happy i love them so much!!!!

[crawfishcommunism-deactivated20]

Honestly, I think the beauty industry is awful and I think beauty standards are 100% used to oppress women everywhere, and it’s a huge disservice to women worldwide when liberal feminists are so defensive of something that clearly was imposed by men on women.
