Have you written any childrens books?

Not yet! I’ve had some ideas, but nothing that I’ve seriously pursued.

I don’t really do my own art, which is one challenge. When I hire out those Mangoverse comic strips, that’s an outside artist I’m paying.

What e-commerce platforms do you recommend for people wanting to sell queer pride crafts and merchandise?

If you want low-commitment and are just starting out? Etsy.

If you want more control and the ability to develop YOUR brand as opposed to the Etsy brand? Shopify.

Hopefully funny to you: ten years ago I went to Scotland (I am Canadian). The moment I got into Scotland I stepped into a cafe. I could not understand anyone! I had no idea Scottish accents were so thick/difficult to understand. When the kind woman working heard my accent (probably interpreted as American), she spoke so much slower and clearer. I felt so foolish!! But in a few days I got better at listening haha. I love Scottish accents and wish television showed them more!

You aren’t foolish for that! People only seem to broadcast/show the very polite, proper, almost english sounding accents. For example, you’re sometimes told to “speak properly” in school etc as if speaking “common” is somehow.. bad? Of low intelligence? Anyway! There’s no shame in that, there are different languages and dialects all over the world so it’s natural you’d need some time to adjust to one that’s not native to you 🤗 ps. where abouts in Scotland were you? :o

Do you use a trellis in gardening at all? If so what materials do you use to build one?

I use multiple types of trellises in my own garden. I live in a very sunny, very hot environment that’s very windy (so I can’t use shade cloth) so I have a trellis wall for peas and climbing beans that’s made with 8 foot tall 4x4s (dug down two feet) and 10 foot long dowels. I bought 6000 feet of gardening twine off ebay and I made a trellis that runs up and down every 4 inches along the whole length, with the bottom being 2.5 feet away from the bottom of the posts. So from the side it looks like a triangle. The angle these trellises are set up means that morning sun enters beneath the trellis, then as the sun goes about its day and sets, the beans and peas provide shade for the broccoli, cauliflower, and bok choy I grow beneath them. Because there is so much sun and heat where I live, without the shade, the brassica veggies flower too soon, so the shade helps keep them from doing so as quickly. Beans and peas climb these in the spring and early summer when it’s still marginally cool (only in the 70s-80s during the high). When the peas and beans begin producing, I can begin harvesting- underneath there are 3 little walkways between plants where I can get to the plants. In addition, the two trellises are parallel to each other. On the trellis towards the east I have peas and on the trellis towards the west I have beans. Beans take the sun better in my experience than do peas here, so the bean trellis provides a little bit of shade from about 4 oclock on for the peas. I also use more traditional vertical trellises (can be bought at like home depot - made of 1/2 to 3/4 inch metal) for tomatillos and decorative tiny pumpkins. The weight of these fruits means they need something stronger to support the plant than just string. I use gardening twine to train vines/branches to the trellis. I also have never tried it but some summer squashes (scallop, desi, lemon, cucumber) are small enough they might be good to try on a metal trellis. Additionally, Jenny melons (or any melon under 2 pounds) can be trellises as long as you support the melon, usually with a sling of some sort. For tomatoes, I have t-posts I put at the ends of all rows and I run gardening twine back and forth between the posts, raising up about 6 inches every time. I use this rather than traditional tomato cages because I can get more tomato plants in a row AND more rows in a bed. I plant my tomatoes every 12 inches on drip tape and do three rows together between paths (the middle row is offset 6 inches from the first and third rows). This string method allows you to almost espalier the tomatoes as well as encourage vertical growth (by weaving them between the strings) rather than bushy growth. This makes it easier to harvest tomatoes as well because they’re easier to see. I plan to put in hardy kiwis this fall and those will be trellised up a fence. My dad has three table grape vines on a trellis but we kind of let those go wild and the trellis is really too tall. It’s based on an umbrella pruning system but we don’t do that. Does that answer you question?

Is your lesbian focused website in French only? If it's in English I'd love to help especially with writing educational articles like menstrual products or pap tests.

Hi! 😄

Yes it’s only in French. I guess you saw the post where I was ranting about needing help for the website, it’s a few months old and since then I actually wrote the article about periods (which is more than 3000 words long haha). I also took notes for the article about the first gynecology consultation right after doing my first pap test.

Thanks for wanting to help though! I hope you can find another project to participate in (or if you want to create your own thing, I’d be happy to give feedback) 😊

princessxbumblebee replied to your post “So female only rape centers can’t exist without being discriminatory?”

There is something wrong with you if you're happy a rape crisis center isn't receiving funding.

Something is wrong with you if you’re happy a rape crisis centre is discriminating against women, and when given the opportunity to stop discriminating and have their funding restored, said no.

VRR is currently doing this. They discriminate against not just trans women but sex workers, women with addictions and others.

I would rather my public dollars be going to rape crisis centres that are inclusive to all women.
