Some thoughts about #Pride from an Older, Wiser, Lesbian, who's also been an educator for multiple decades: #queer, #lesbian#sapphic
rainbow capitalism sucks, but it's still better than being fired for being gay. Call it out when you see it and try to buy from places who actively support your values and your right to exist.
No words yesterday because I was derailed doing something else. The highlight of my day, however, was receiving one of the loveliest emails of my life from a #reader.
If you've ever thought about #writing to your favorite #author, DO IT. I promise you 99% of us will be incredibly honored you took time out of your precious day to #write and it will mean the world to us.
Romantic and erotic love between women has always existed. But there is very little source material of women loving women from antiquity. Most surviving texts deal with male desires. However, there are some glimpses into the past lives of sapphic women. Let's get to know them:
"Whom again must I persuade
to lead you back to her love? Who, Sappho,
is doing you wrong?
For if she flees, swiftly she will pursue;
if she refuses gifts, soon she shall give them;
and if she does not love, swiftly she will love
even if she does not wish to.
Come to me again and ease my pain;
Take bitter care from my mind and give me
all I long for. Stand beside me, #Aphrodite, as my sister in arms."
redoing my #introduction
maybe some new queer people joined us.
hi,
I needed a safe space in this homophobic world, so I'm here - being queer and obnoxious (or just plain embarrassing).
I'm a women enthusiast and apologist.
I post about women, media, books, queer shenanigans.
my hobbies: appreciating older women, making any given media queer in my head.
Got questions about what is actually going on in the lives of #LGBTQ, #sapphic, #lesbian women and #queer people that center women in their family and romantic lives?
Check out this cool report I worked on from the National LGBTQ Women's Community Survey! I worked on some of the analysis and did 95% of the data visualizations. It's been exciting data to work with.

Someone told me that Pedro Pascal is every lesbian's "exception".
I asked them to explain and they told me that he's a super nice guy because he supports and defends his trans sister.
That's cool and all. Admirable even, but if the bar for "converting" lesbians is just being a decent human being, how fucking low is the bar for straight women?
Like holy shit. You think I'm only gay because I'm just waiting for any man to finally jump over that tiny hurdle? #sapphic#lesbian#queer

I Faced Her Onryo Lover
They have a ways to go before they get to the real thing.
Join Ume, Shiomi, and Tomo as their relationship develops. In a creepy world where “love” never dies.
Quote: I looked at the cigarette in my hand, thought, “What the hell?” and took a puff; “Ugh, unflavored.” But I’d finally gotten a kiss from my konbini girl, a secondary kiss, but a kiss.
From: For Love of a Konbini Idol
I Faced Her Onryo Lover
Everyone is angry
“Don’t swear at me!” The situation was wearing on my nerves, or I might have let it pass, but the swearing grated. It clashed with the image of Shiomi I kept trying to build in my mind. I was tired, my cigarette tasted foul, and I had just risked my life for the third time. And for what, an ungrateful woman who didn’t have the sense to see her lover was a rotting corpse!
“I’ll swear if I want to, White Knight-sama. I’d be with my girlfriend right now, instead of wandering around these desolate hills, if it wasn’t for you. You’re as bad as Mika, riding in on your fucking white horse and fucking my life up! I hate you! Damn it, I hate you!”
