The money has stagnated but we still need help! We have enough for the hotel and car, which is great, but now we need money for an inn to stop in on the way up bc my parents can't drive for 15 hours straight and food, necessities on the way. Pretty please if you can help! Asking very tentatively for $1,200!

$0/$1,200

Very nervous about making this post. This has been a long time coming, but to actually have it happen feels rlly scary. "feel the fear and do it anyway" I suppose?

One of my best friends is organising this fundraiser for me. The details can be found in the link but the gist is:

My name’s River, I'm a muslim lesbian in the middle east, I'm physically disabled, parents are extremely abusive+controlling, and I'm being made to marry a man later this year. I don't have money, nor can I make any, and I need to escape this household and country before then so that I can start a safer, better life insha'allah.

Please donate and reblog this post, and thank you to everyone that chooses to help💖

Every woman should take a moment to really think about her sexual boundaries, her desire and how she wants to go about it - And I mean how she genuinely wants to go about it.

We live in a hyper-sexual culture bombared by objectifying pictures of women everywhere. It affects us all in ways we might not even have noticed.

It's good to take your time to think about other options and what your own true feelings are.

Reminders that:

You can want only meaningful sex.

You are not obligated to make your boundaries "fun" for anyone.

People who call you a prude are people who want to pressure and manipulate you; they are the last people you should listen or trust.

Sex is never an obligation, a right or a performance.

Sex should't hurt, feel like a duty, or leave you feeling dirty, used or humiliated.

You can always say no to sex for any reason, or for no reason at all.

Stay safe, sisters.

This is everyone's special reminder that homosexuality is natural and normal.

Homosexual desire and love are good. Not only harmless, but good. Our lived lives, our relationships, our love, and our families throughout history are proof of that.

Female homosexuality is not caused by trauma; a Lesbian doesn't need to justify her existence. Lesbian existence is not a fault or tragedy.

Romantic love between people of same sex is natural. It's fulfilling, deep, committed and worthwhile.

Sexual love between people of same sex is natural. It's healthy, normal and fulfilling.

Embracing your own nature is the first step in accepting yourself.

For anyone who doesn't know what's going on in Canada right now (which, let's be real, is probably everyone who's not in Canada):

This week, a mass grave was discovered at a former Indian Residential School, in Kamloops, BC. The grave contained the bodies of 215 Indigenous children.

For people outside of North America, residential schools were places that Indigenous children were sent to, to have their language and culture stripped away from them. They were literally stolen from their families, and scattered across Canada, to ensure that they would be surrounded by children who didn't speak their language. They were given Christian names and forced to speak English. They were horrendously abused, and the survivors have been traumatized.

Hundreds of children never returned. The assumption has always been that they died. This has now been confirmed.

The school in Kamloops closed in 1978. They are now trying to identify bodies to inform family members. The last residential school closed in the 1990s. There is growing demand to search all of them, but the government hasn't responded to that, as of yet. Ottawa JUST gave in to pressure to fly the Canada flag at half mast. They weren't even going to do that.

This is the reality if anti-Indigenous racism in Canada. The residential schools may be closed, but that hasn't stopped the abduction of Indigenous children, let alone the hundreds of missing and murdered Indigenous women.

I never wanted to be a man, only wanted a woman to want me that bad.

SURVIVAL FUND

Wait, actually, yes DO send me some money. 10/9 I'm my family's sole provider, so when I get money from here nearly all of it goes to my parents/rent/bills, the works. I'm a nonbinary Black lesbian living in the south, I'm disabled, and I'd really like some help. Or, better yet, I'd like to be paid for all the things I do on Tumblr, the playlists and moodboards and the writing I post, as well as my educational posts.

Thanks if you can give!

I have a friend who is fun and who I write with, but I feel like she’s flirting with me or trying to since I’ve become single. She said she and her husband have an open flirting policy which is fine but like please don’t use it on me? I’m your friend. Just because I’m a lesbian and you’re bi doesn’t mean we’re getting together for any reason or that I’m attracted to you. You have a husband and kid and I am only interested in being with a woman if she is single. Doesn’t matter if it’s only for an one night stand or a long-term relationship. You have to be single and happy to be in a monogamous relationship. I’m not interested in being an experiment or flirting playdate.

I’ve only been single for 3 months but I already have a crush. I don’t know if it’s a pretty shallow crush due to being lonely since breaking up with my ex, or if it actually has substance but omg now is not the time. My relationship with my ex was my first relationship ever and it lasted 2 years so I need time to myself . . . but my stupid heart.

Me to myself:

I am past the point of forgiving men who wrong me more than once. If they keep at it I’m going to stop forgiving them after wronging me once.
