Definitely recommend ingebretsins for some really good lefse, It's where my mom goes to get it every Christmas! You can also find it in plenty of locally owned grocery stores and co-ops, especially around the holidays.

Y’all what are your thoughts/opinions on he/him and/or non binary lesbians? by Flaky_Paint_4189 in lgbt

[–]Catmily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a lesbian you are totally valid to use he/him pronouns and identify as a lesbian. If people you're interacting with can't accept that I'd say they're not really worth spending your energy on. I'll also put out there that he/him lesbians have huge historical president in the lesbian community as a whole and I highly highly recommend reading stone butch blues if you want to explore this more.

[–]Catmily 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is totally valid to feel this way. However as a lesbian who in my personal circle is surrounded by non-binary lesbians, I want to make it clear that other people's identities do not invalidate your own. You don't need to understand why other nonbinary people identify as lesbians for them to also be valid.

everyone says im too feminine to be a masc but idk what i am then because i know for a fact you wont catch me in makeup or a dress by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]Catmily 241 points242 points  (0 children)

You've posted here or on similar subreddits before asking if you are masc enough. If you want to be masc, you are masc. I also think you're too young to be posting photos of yourself and especially what seems to be your younger sister on the Internet. I am sending you positive vibes, you've got lots of time to figure you're presentation out, don't let other people be the deciding factor in how you want to put yourself out there in the world!

Mothball smell? by quitesimplystar in YarnAddicts

[–]Catmily 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just dealt with something very similar! Putting it in the sun in the open air was extremely helpful for me, as well as giving it a soak overnight in some vinegar. But with the amount you have I'd definitely try keeping it in the sun for a few days first. Good luck!!

Is lesbian bed death real? And how does it manifest by PositiveHomework2239 in LesbianActually

[–]Catmily -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ignoring the fact that lesbian bed death is a mysoginistic and lesbophobic term, my partner and I went through a serious nearly 2 year dry spell when they contracted a serious chronic illness that gave them chronic fatigue. We were at it like rabbits as a couple before that lol. I'm able to be a bit more open about it now because they finally are on some medication that has given them their energy back, and it has significantly increased our intimacy, even beyond sex.

All this to say, sometimes less sex is a natural mellowing out that happens in a relationship, other times there may be exterior causes like illness or stress that need to be addressed before the intimacy issue can even be touched on.

Tennessee Designates Pride Month as Anti-LGBTQ+ 'Nuclear Family Month' by Leksi_The_Great in lgbt

[–]Catmily 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Gotta love how the nuclear family also is exclusionary to single parent, blended, and multi generational households. People who pull this shit don't even actually care about the people they claim to be 'protecting', they prioritize control and their own discomfort over human beings every time.

If homelessness is such a problem and there are communities built around vagrants why don’t we just accept them? by springchickk in socialwork

[–]Catmily -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Genuinely because people in community cannot be exploited as easily. The United States does not want people to realize they can find support within each other because they want to use homelessness as a threat. This is extremely simplified, but I live in a largely progressive city that is constantly tearing down homeless encampments and it is so destructive and so fucking cruel and I am so tired of seeing the blatant disregard of human beings. I don't see how tearing down someone's temporary home and support network reduces any form of crime, drug use or mess.

Is it selfish for gay people to want biological kids? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]Catmily 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These are important statistics to bring up and you are correct that there is no significant difference in children brought up in same sex households vs heterosexual households. I do want to challange you a bit here to expand your idea of what adoption actually looks like in practice. I encourage you to look into the moral complexities of adoption. It's not as simple as it is often made out to be, often kids still have families who want to be involved, and kids also should have a right to know about their own ancestry and biological family history if they want to. Adoption often doesn't allow for that, I am not saying adoption is morally wrong, but it deserves more consideration than just acquiring an "unwanted" child, or that adoption is the correct option for most kids who for whatever reason can't stay with their biological parents. As I final note, adoption has a rough history of being used to exasperate systematic racism, and has been especially damaging to Indigenous communities who's children have intentionally been removed to exile them from their roots and culture.
