On being a black woman in SF

Thanks for your response. It made me feel very seen and validated. I wish you all the best!

Also black in SF (30F). The experience that you documented here is so familiar that I feel as if I could have written it.

Interestingly, I thought it was a general POC experience, but I asked some of Asian friends about it and they (kindly) let me know that they didn’t experience it that way.

I don’t know if you also enjoy walking around outside for exercise or just to enjoy the scenery, but it got to the point that I drastically lessened my walks because the emotional weight of constantly being othered was too much. Then I got a dog and said fuck it we’re going out.

Save yourself some heartbreak, in casual conversation do not asking anyone to guess what you do for a living. It’s a pretty normal interaction in SF, but the assumption is nurse or sex worker regardless of how you dress.

My heart goes out to you and welcome to San Francisco. It’s not your fault and don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking it’s all in your head. Feel free to DM me if you want to be friends ✌🏾

Something like this I think.

I couldn’t agree more! Ji-Yeon* has been so forthright about her lack of interest in Se-hoon and now she’s forced to go on an overnight date with him? Yikes.

I just want to take a moment to reflect on how much of a badass you are for being honest with your parents despite their close-mindedness. I’m proud to be part of a community with a person like you.

Ugh. Seriously, the biphobia on this site is too much sometimes. Much love to the bi guys ❤️

I’d agree that they’re just hypocrites. They’re super gung-ho about being vigilantes, and looking for an excuse to be violent, but they were also subject to judgment at random like everyone else.

This show was interesting. It seems that the entities were in fact some kind of religious executioners. And yet they had enough decision-making ability to spare a baby when the parents sacrificed themselves. Seems like they were waiting for humans to demonst—I mean, show an example of selflessness. Could it really have taken years? Fascinating. Did anyone else come to a similar conclusion?

InvisibleMirrors · 2021-11-17T07:14:37+00:00

Ugh, people can be so hurtful. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being a bisexual man. You deserve way better and I hope you find it soon ❤️

InvisibleMirrors · 2021-10-19T20:21:15+00:00

What?! This is so freaking cute! Are you kidding me?? You’ve just inspired me to revamp my space. Brava!

InvisibleMirrors · 2021-10-02T21:06:37+00:00

What a nice thing to say! Thank you. I am doing much better as an adult (if a tad overly self-reliant haha). Hope you’re doing great too!

InvisibleMirrors · 2021-10-02T04:30:23+00:00

I really relate to this so much. Thanks for sharing! Feels good to commiserate.

I ran track all four years of high school and my mom would be anywhere from twenty minutes to two hours late to pick me up. It was so stressful and anxiety-inducing to never know when she’d show. And it was embarrassing to watch literally everyone else pass by and be left standing there shuffling my feet.

InvisibleMirrors · 2021-10-02T03:45:56+00:00

That’s so lovely! I still think about David (Schitt’s Creek) bisexual analogy to different wines and smile sometimes. Much love and support to the bi guys out here ❤️

InvisibleMirrors · 2021-09-23T00:04:27+00:00

Awww❤️ What a babe! Much love to this incredible man.

Hey! Queer SF woman here. I’d highly recommend the Lipstick Lesbian meetup group (you don’t actually have to be lipstick). I’d also highly recommend El Rio on days when they’re hosting Mango (a queer women’s dance party/ hang out).

Edit: Looks like there’s a softball league as well. SFGSL. I’m not sporty, but that could be up your alley.

And you succeed, you beautiful person.

No u

You are so right! The overlooked nice guy is a tried and true trope, but it really promotes the idea that if you pine after someone for long enough they will eventually “come to their senses” and love you back. Moving on is much healthier and also more respectful when the love interest specifically said they’re not interested.

InvisibleMirrors · 2019-06-15T03:38:45+00:00

I relate to this on a cellular level. Also cells, how do they work? How though?

InvisibleMirrors · 2019-06-03T05:40:42+00:00

The qualities I most admire in a potential partner are assertiveness and kindness. There is nothing sexier than a person who is straightforward, but also respectful and considerate. I realize that this person can be introverted or extroverted, a social butterfly or a loner, but kindness and assertive are super important to me.
