our type of girls rule!!!

This is a card handmade by our 8 year-old tomboy friend, as a thank you for Ivan’s help building her new playhouse (which includes a pulley system! and a movable ship’s wheel!). Ivan’s name is written in flames inside the card, and our tomboy friend enclosed three photos of herself fishing and climbing ropes. We LOVE this kid.

Were you lucky enough to have a butch or femme buddy or role model as a kid?

My partners friend went missing if you all could signal boost this!

Some people here really treat butchfemme dynamics... weirdly. Especially the butch label.

Butch is queer. Butch is not inherently a "daddy" a "boy", a he/him. Butch is not predatory, always dominant, buff, tough, scary.

It's cool if you identify with any of it, but it seems that many people just take it all as face value. They lack historical knowledge.

Being butch or femme is not inherently sexual or indicative of what your position in bed is/should be. That is a heteronormative idea and if you think so, you really should reevaluate it.

FUCK U ELON!!!!!

fucking jackass

so, just for the record, staff's blatantly discriminatory rules enforcement practices are only half the story. like, if you ever find yourself wondering why trans women are always getting termed right after their posts about transmisogyny start getting numbers (and mysteriously start getting mature content flagged for seemingly no reason), its bc there are a couple of specific circles of people who mass report tgirls who talk about that sort of thing too loudly (or, y'know, they're just generally annoyed by). there's at least one discord server more or less dedicated to the practice to my knowledge and i wouldn't be surprised if there were more.

staff, of course, can perform the tied hands routine bc of this - they're just responding to reports! and now that the first ban is served, any subsequent attempts to rebuild one's social life are read as Ban Evasion. girls are left with the non-choice of permanent exile or starting over from scratch, trying to be quieter this time so they don't get found. this is the point, and its being done with purpose by people who, funnily enough, spend most of their time talking about the importance of Community. lol and lmao

popular culture used to be very much about eroticism. rockstars used to be on stage in sequins and thongs and thigh high boots playing guitars like they were masturbating. girls used to wear velvet mini dresses and no bras and red-brick-brown lipstick and mascara on their bottom lashes. people used to have body hair on television and in the movies. people used to be sweaty. people used to touch each other over denim and under cotton. foreplay used to be staring at someone over the rim of a glass across a bar across a park across a dinner table. people used to want. i think we’ve lost something

great. thanks a lot lucy dacus now i have to fight with lesbians on tik tok who have never read stone butch blues ! thanks a lot!!!
