isn't it lovely that in any other time, any other place, there have existed women like me; women who feel the same senses of dignity, self-worth, and love for other women. it's a special thing to keep in mind.

[johnnycrass]

honestly i think what it is that pisses me off about Leftist people treating weird kinky sex stuff with an aura of it being like, a form of political resistance or something thats genuinely counter culture, is that... a lot of right wing people are just as kinky as you are - they have strange fetishes and they're swingers and watch all the same porn etc etc - they just are ALSO right wing. like yeah they're swingers but they also think illegal immigrants are subhuman and those things work out just fine together. ultimately- TO ME- it feels like maybe Weird Sex Stuff isn't the sort of revolutionary act we really want it to be. lol. i say this as a resident of fucking bitch ass texas - i remember when people were protesting some law by walking around with dildos strapped to their belts like guns. and it felt stupid. seeing that in public felt really dumb. the difference is conservatives just won't be open about it and that's it

[gnomebutch]

ummm buddy don’t you know that conservatives view two adult women who want to get married exactly like how they view men in diapers who post online about wanting to get raped by dogs ? better start defending them or you’re next

People have been getting a bit parasocial so I think I need to say this:

I am your friend. I know you. You know me. This blog represents my whole complete true self. We are best friends. I love you. I want you carnally, as a friend. Thank you. You mean so much to me as an individual. You aren't a number. Send me money

I do have to enjoy the absolute comedy of queer as a sexuality term. "What is your orientation?" "I don't know, I feel like something weird and strange, I guess I'm an abnormal freak of some sort" and they also tried convincing companies and brands that this was politically correct in the 2010s which was even more hysterically funny

[gracecode]

you can always tell when a woman's misandry is performative :/

[tenbees]

‘it hurts that strangers always misgender me because it means the people in my life who use he/him are just humoring the weird hairy woman’ YES!!!!!! LITERALLY!!! AND GET OFF THE CROSS!!!

[tenbees]

consider moving to North-Eastern Europe. we have decent gay rights but barely any pronoun people because we don't even have gendered pronouns lol. still not ideal to find a gf though because of the small population

i would love to move to europe but im poor 😩

[tenbees]

so my theythem brother was apparently with my sister and her theythem girlfriend and the gf had a lady slim cigarette and was like hehe they’re gonna stop me from smoking this! and my brother was like why i dont get the joke and my sister went like wow it’s because they’re NOT A LADY! and my brother came to me and was like they (the gf) always call themselves a lesbian and i just dont understand how a transman or a nonbinary person can be a lesbian. don’t you have to be a lady to be a lesbian? don’t you have to pick one or the other? and don’t you have to decide to be masculine if you’re a trans man, how can you stay just as feminine as you were before? and i was like i honestly never understand what’s going on with anyone’s gender and i think nonbinary people expect everyone to just read their mind about their gender identity. (also for the record the theythem lesbian gf has talked about men she would have sex with) and then this other time the theythem gf said something about how my theythem brother was being rude to the women in the room (which we know is already contentious) and he got pissed off and started stomping around because he wasn’t being included among the women. soo anyway this is laughably ridiculous and if nonbinary people can’t even respect or understand anyone each other’s gender identities how can they expect anyone else to??

[kragehund-est]

not doing any discourse rn. but i just saw an aroace lesbian and my only thought was "what are you doing to women" because I'm genuinely perplexed

[theradicalbuzzardofdiscourse]

What if we were both girls…and we had no physical or emotional attraction to each other…haha no, unless…? 😳

starting to get interested in the wellness to conservative pipeline keeping in mind that the right takes advantage of gaps in the left, and listening to these women talk i can see where they’re coming from because i’ve been there myself (and then they’ll say something crazy about a specific deodorant turning you gay and i can’t take them seriously).

but a few years ago i lost like 50 pounds and it ultimately led to me getting into fitness and making it a core part of my life…. once i go outside my immediate bubble i often feel frustrated at how antiscience the average american left person is, especially online, when it comes to health and wellness. saying there’s no such thing as healthy or unhealthy foods, that excess weight has no impact on health, larger people can do all the same workouts as smaller people with no issues, it’s inherently disordered to want to lose weight, it’s inherently disordered to care about nutrition and refrain from foods sometimes, that someone’s body isn’t a reflection of their diet or lifestyle at all, that food and exercise has no impact on mental health, that it’s ridiculous to care about ultra processed food, it’s paranoid when conservatives don’t trust doctors but when we don’t trust doctors it’s because we know about systemic inequality.

and the rebuttal to any concern about health is that this is a systemic issue with community solutions and it’s wrong to find individual fixes. someone somewhere lives in a food desert so i, a comfortable office job american, can’t try to eat more vegetables. and it’s ok to enjoy the occasional hike or walk but if you exercise regularly (barf) you have a disorder.

but until we live in a utopia with no food deserts and universal healthcare and completely ethical nutritious agriculture what am i supposed to do, just roll over and take it? it’s so frustrating that any individual’s actions to adjust for a flawed system are discouraged, because it’s a systemic issue, while making no effort to organize as a community. a community is a bunch of individuals!! and obviously i have so many issues with the wellness space but that space only exists because people are trying to fix actual issues.

[docholligay]

Possibly my spiciest take is that it's actually good to have people you respect and like that have some dogshit takes.

I think part of what is making young people lonelier, in discussing why they're increasingly isolated, is that they're so afraid of meeting someone who doesn't hold their same beliefs, and instead of being just core beliefs it is kinda ancillary shit.

It's actually okay to disagree even on social topics! Even on some political ones! But I mean, online you can start with "i love this mutual but they have a really bad/uninformed opinion about x media"

I know this is IMMEDIATELY going to be taken in bad faith, and yes babygirl, you are so right, I DO want you to go make best friends with both the KKK grand wizard AND your nearest nazi leader.

But seriously, as someone who has spent two decades doing community organization: finding ways to connect with different people is so so so important. There are people i follow here who ate 80% smart and their brain falls out of their head 20% of the time and that is GOOD FOR MY MENTAL ECOSYSTEM AND GOOD FOR LEARNING HOW TO BE A PERSON

LET'S ALL GO PISS ON THE POOR

[11thfempachi]

can mental health women stop comparing everyone to prey animals and fragile bullshit like baby deer, doves, porcelain, glass cups? idk about you I don't wanna hear I'm weak and innocent and tearjerking. I'm tough as fuck

The only media I ever watched was avatar the lost air bender and dnd podcasts can I write a novel to change the world?

[videolottery]

Dear everyone in the notes saying variations of “literally me”

Why don’t you change your life?

[isleypig]

Well I suppose if you compare a vegan who only eats deep fried almonds in palm oil drenched in agave who buys new pleather jackets all the time and imports that from the other side of the planet with a carnist who only eats local poultry from a family farm and sews their own clothes then the vegan could be worse for the environment. I just don’t think that’s the actual dichotomy

just finished godkiller, an already badly written book where the fmc exclusively shows interest in women and thinks back on her past exclusively with women for like 150 pages before kissing and having sex with the first man that’s nearby. looked up the author and she has a husband. of course, in the book, though, she only references being married and avoids any pronouns when thanking her mysterious partner for supporting her through writing a book. got a few pages into mortal follies and returned it to the library when one character goes to an underground gay bar and acts outraged that a transwoman isnt there and some man goes ‘i may be wearing a dress but i know i’m a man under here.’ which is obviously the worst thing a person could say. read a dark and drowning tide and the sapphic romance seemed weird to me, focusing a lot on how tall the butch was and her strong hands, so i looked up the author and she also has a husband. no pronouns when she thanks him in the book, either. or there’s motheater, a sapphic romance where the bi woman drags her ex boyfriend around for the entire plot and then the other woman dies at the end. all that is just what i can remember off the top of my head.

genuinely think i’m giving up on sapphic books yall. i’ve seen so many authors build brands around sapphic romances while deliberately hiding their husbands. broke my streak of not reading fiction books written by men and i’ve been obsessed with brandon sanderson. reading actually well crafted books makes it soo clear that these other authors are just cashing in on diversity. and if that’s all i’m reading a mediocre book for, there’s no point when the author’s straight attraction is bleeding through. i have no interest in supporting straight women who are lying to their audience.
