Being stone is a difficult identity to navigate, whether you’re a stone butch or a stone femme. It is difficult to experience dysphoria around sex, difficult to feel like you are somehow selfish - either because you don’t allow your partner full access to your body or because you don’t “reciprocate” according to people with very strong opinions about what sex should be like. If you’re a stone butch, it’s ok to refuse to be touched, to refuse to show yourself naked. If you’re a stone femme, it’s ok to refuse to touch your partner in ways that make you uncomfortable or dysphoric. Stone butches and stone femmes are real lesbians, no matter how we choose to express ourselves sexually. We don’t ask non-stone lesbians to understand what it means to be stone, because you can’t, but please respect us.

k.d.: In high school, I took an aptitude test that said I was 98 percent guaranteed to be a mechanic.
Anne: I’d love to pull into your garage and see you wiping your hands on a greasy rag.
k.d.: I’d say, “How can I help you, little lady?“
Anne: And all the cute girls would come to your garage and the other mechanics wouldn’t get it.

Sometimes it is very lonely/frustrating how many butch fashion & aesthetic pictures are of really skinny butches (or sometimes even models wearing makeup or femme accessories…but that’s a totally different post). Anyway it makes me sad because my identity as a butch and my relationship to my weight & body are so intertwined (and I feel no desire to separate them)…so I wish people were more open to seeing butches with a diversity of body types, and I wish I could see more butches like me
alright, here it goes: i need to get out of my abusive household and as much as it pains me and makes me feel guilty, i need help. i can’t do it on my own and trying to do it on my own will kill me. my gf is planning to help by doing commissions, i’m going to be opening up writing commissions (links to come), i’m thinking of picking up a second job, and i might start selling n*des soon (more info on that too soon).
i’m still afraid this won’t be enough so i’m asking for your donations/even just a loan until i can get set up and settled somewhere (which may take a little time).
i’ve set up a gofundme and here’s my paypal. if you donate and there’s anything i can do for you at all, please let me know and i’ll try and get it done for you.
the goal rn is just to keep things moving while i save with doctor’s bills and other expenses, and also to work towards a cheap car so i’ll be able to get from place to place after i’m out (currently my friends take me everywhere but work and the doctor).
if you can’t help, even just getting the word out means a lot. thank you.
UPDATE: links to my commission post and my fiances commissions post !
UPDATE: unfortunately things have changed for the worse. you may have noticed the goal has gone way up. my original plan to get a 3 bedroom with friends failed after a falling out. it seems they are no longer interested in speaking with me at all. so there’s a new plan: moving to australia to be with my fiance. the prospective marriage visa is about $5130 usd. the goal is to get out as soon as possible and now, at the very least, i don’t have to worry about a car. i know this is a lot, and i honestly don’t even expect to completely reach this goal but coming even halfway close would be a miracle.
i’m sorry to be asking so much of everyone. i love you all.
donations have slowed almost to a stop. please, if there’s anything you could give, it would mean the world to me.
hi everybody, it’s your favorite lesbians. i know it seems like we’re always asking for money, but silas moving here and then us being homeless for over a month drained all our fucking savings. we’re moving to wisconsin in a few days, where it’ll be easier for me to get a job and where we have friends who will let us stay with them.
the problem is, they live in an area smack in the middle of the polar vortex, where temperatures are hitting -50 fahrenheit with wind chill. bad timing, i know, but we bought the plane tickets already and there’s a fee for rescheduling that we can’t afford to pay.
neither of us have appropriate clothing. i’ve lived in florida my entire life and therefore have never needed winter clothes, and silas left behind her winter clothes when she moved here because she could only bring a single suitcase. if anyone would like to kick us a few dollars to help buy the things we need, that would be amazing

This is Shelby Shoup. She is a Jewish woman who is facing battery charges for throwing drops of chocolate milk, and is being doxxed and having her and her family’s personal information exposed. Her venmo is shelby-shoup, if you can donate and help her, please do.
[image 1: “Shelby Shoup, a Jewish woman at FSU, was arrested for throwing chocolate milk at members of the GOP-Nazi Party days after our people were slaughtered while praying. Now she’s the target of a massive antisemitic harassment campaign.
image 2: Everybody asking about the legitimacy of Shelby’s Venmo: yes it’s real, no it’s not fake. Please donate to help her cover legal fees, counseling, etc. shelby-shoup]
People are acting like she deserves this, like it’s a despicable act, but she literally threw drops of chocolate milk at them, and she’s facing battery charges. Some people say she should be charged with assault. She’s being targeted heavily by antisemitic attacks, which surpises no one. I haven’t seen anyone talk about her yet, and I really hope she is able to get through this because she does not deserve these charges or these attacks.
UPDATE:
[image 1: “Grand Wizard of the KKK David Duke has now gotten ahold of Shelby’s case & it’s on his timeline. He was involved in the Unite the Right rally at which Heather Heyer was killed. Shelby is now afraid for her parents safety. @floridastate plz comment. REPORT & SPREAD THIS WIDELY.
image 2: From David Duke’s Twitter, “This behavior warrants expulsion.” On a tweet about Shelby.]
David Duke knows about Shelby. The Grand Wizard of the KKK knows about this vulnerable Jewish woman. Please donate and help her if you can, she is fearing for her family’s safety and it’s very, very common for jewish people to be attacked and have people look the other way.
Update: she now has a gofundme!
[image: @ReemOlive on twitter: “I’m raising money for SUPPORT AND PROTECT SHELBY SHOUP. GO FUND ME FOR SHELBY IS UP. DONATE HERE.” with a link to the gofundme.]
After they reach their goal, any extra donations will go to help with Hurricane Michael.
