People who reference lesbian bar scenes as though they’re dead and don’t still form critical parts of many lesbians’ life experiences thinking they have anything of relevance to say on butch/femme are truly wild. Even worse, half those people reference the death of bar scenes as some awesome thing as though it hasn’t almost entirely been because of gentrification/lesbians not having the money to maintain our own spaces and the systematic writing out of lesbians from acceptable orientations in self-named queer spaces, and as if the services those scenes provided and still provide (a way to meet people who will house you if your parents kick you out, a social support network of people like you, a place to just not feel bad about being a dyke) aren’t still desperately needed. That isn’t to say there isn’t very real trauma associated with them, as though it isn’t also connected to the absolutely outrageous rate of alcohol abuse/alcoholism among lesbians, etc (though it’s not a casual relationship) but clapping at lesbian communities being dispersed via gentrification is so wild.
These koi are really aggressive. But look at the markings!
Fun fact: These aren’t koi, they’re ordinary goldfish! A lot of people think that koi are just large outdoor goldfish, but they are actually separate species. However, like koi, goldfish can easily grow to tremendous sizes and live a long time, provided they’re given adequate space and nutrition.
Ohmygod. Apparently there’s a push for female versions of the green walk signal (IE: a dress version) in Melbourne and it’s being lauded as feminism at work. What an utter waste of time and energy. So as opposed to doing anything remotely useful or productive, libfems would rather press for ‘equality’ through walk signals. I’m so angry.
There were 76,529 reports of family violence in Victoria alone last year, which is a 10% increase. But sure, lets fucking deal with traffic light “equality”.
yeah also that’s the opposite of progress since we’re supposed to be moving away from female=feminine lol
