I am blessed bc this year they finally opened a lesbian bar in my town but before that we lesbians would just improvise
I post a lot about going to gay bars because I'm fortunate enough to have one nearby. Consequently, I hear from a lot of people who feel sad and isolated because they don't have a gay bar nearby.
I'd like to say that Google Maps is lying to you. Most of the time, you won't be able to look up nearby gay bars. Historically, gay people never took up more than a quarter of the floorspace at any given bar. And, if I'm being honest with you, most explicitly gay bars are only like 60% gay people.
You only really need two things to create a gay bar: affordable drinks and a couple of gay people. If you go to any given bar, there will be one or two gay people there. If those gay people show up all the time, it's a gay bar. Birds of a feather flock together, and in a year or two you'll have an established corner where the gay people sit on Fridays. This is within your power. Will people be able to look it up online? No. But any lost queer who blows in on the wind will notice you right away.
There’s something so sacred about a butch femme friendship. It doesn’t have to be love to still be so deeply fulfilling and nourishing. I love my platonic butch :(
I used to think I didn't relate to other lesbians on here because the ones I followed were all pop feminist aesthetic bloggers who reblogged pictures of hyper-sexualised female celebrities and I was mainly disturbed. it was sooo unsexy nothing sensual about it. looking at that stuff just made me feel humiliated for those women, and also for myself

I remember how much i was relieved to find out my girlfriend was stone butch when we first started dating
the sigh of relief i have when i’m speaking to someone new perhaps romantically and i find out they’re ok with me being a pillow princess and are sexually compatible with me
online queer spaces (aka tik tok) can be so fucking dumb sometimes. like, in real life 20 year old and 40 year old dykes are making out at the bar and it’s fine. trans men and trans masc people will go to lesbian bars and it will be normal and acceptable to see them there. lesbians will fuck trans people (trans masc and femme people) and the world won’t end. someone at the gay bar will be wearing kink gear and no one will bat an eye. dykes will have moustaches and stubble and will be wearing a labrys and people are gonna fuck who they want and not fuck who they don’t want and that’s literally ok. being a part of a community means you will meet people who are different and who don’t fit your strict fucking rules of what is “acceptable” and what isn’t. and i feel badly for people who don’t understand what it’s like to live in a real-life community. let queer people be messy and confusing, no one in the real world cares.
Chicago Gay Pride. 1992. My first pride and I was not out. I borrowed my brothers 1979 Chevy conversion van and my dad’s 12 lb camcorder. It was a life changing experience. Shawn (dark hair) was the first person I told.
butches are so funny cuz they’re the most kind cautious and respectful people i have ever met, but the second they get the green light they will go at you like a dog with a chew toy
i’m just a bit confused how female liberation is possible if women aren’t going to make feminist decisions in their lives. you think men are gonna one day change their mind and decide they’ll let us be equal? you for real? power corrupts. animals love power. especially humans. osa people don’t wanna relinquish the power over homosexuals, rich people don’t wanna relinquish the power over the poor. men sure as fuck aren’t gonna go down without a fight. they use love as a weapon to infiltrate sisterhood. feminism isn’t about asking nicely. it’s not about convincing other women your man’s different. it’s not about constantly wallowing in our socialised low self-esteem, relying on men and their gaze to ordain us worthy, instead of getting angry and revolting. i am so fucking sick of heterosexualised feminism that does nothing more than pay lip service on tumblr with no true action. it’s not my job to empathise with heterosexual love. you’ve been conditioned to think a man’s love is worth more than your own liberation. you’ve been socialised to think men are more important than women.
Margaret Atwood: femininity is a performance art course you will never graduate from and man is your audience
me: holy shit
the small but growing Mitski on my shoulder: femininity might be a performance art we will never be free of, but because you are aware of this, sometimes you will seek to perform only for yourself and no one else, and by that, we are starting to break free
me, sobbing: thank you, Mitski of my consciousness
