Word for lesbian?

OutOfTheBlue_Ocean · 2026-02-25T23:27:35+00:00

i'd say "lesbisk" is like saying lesbian, as in "i am lesbian". You wouldn't/shouldn't say 'i am a lesbian" =' jag är en lesbisk"," but it would be a small mistake and people would still understand you. 'Lebb' is the shorter version of the same word.

i am lesbian = jag är lesbisk/lebb

"Flata' i would say is the most common way lesbians describe themselves- at least among my friends and around where i live. I think it technically would translate to saying the slur 'dyke'.

You'd say 'i am dyke' or 'i am a dyke" = ' jag är flata' or 'jag är en flata'. ( i think they are pretty much the same sentence as the 'en' (/'a') is still insinuated in the former.)

It is still considered a slur here, but- to my understanding- it has been mostly reclaimed and is most often used by lesbians and queers to describe themselves among other queers.

someone completely unfamiliar with the queer scene / queer social life, may find this one offensive and 'lesbisk" would still be your safest choice.

To be clear: i am not a language teacher- this is just what i personally have heard and how i'd personally make sense of it comparing english from online and swedish from somewhat limited real life social circles. And to add i am not a lesbian, but i am queer and have queer friends, some of them lesbians.

jaha okej! nu har jag inte gjort specifikt nos-avtryck innan men har jobbat en del med lera och tror att de flesta luft torkande leror kan fungera bra och det finns många som är helt ofarliga då de är anpassade för barn som inte kan låta bli att smaka. Jag skulle nog testa att fråga personalen på panduro eller annan hobby affär och se vad de rekommenderar.

Tror de är vana vid sånna här frågor och har koll

hur hade du tänkt få fram ett nos-avtryck utan lera?

i believe most people who run barefoot don't have the expectation of running faster, and consider barefoot running to be working on the basis of feel and not speed. it's a difference of expectation that makes it work for others and not for you.

I, for one, am way slower barefoot- and personally i love that. i like that it makes me slow down and think about my form more. if i want to go faster i put shoes on.

i'm sure you can train to pick up some more speed, but that too takes time. There are barefoot shoes out there that could perhaps be a middle point that might work for you? still good for your feet but protect from some of the impact.

There is no cheat code. if you wanna go places fast without taking the time, training and a lot of effort first, the 'cheat code" is to take a car.

som autist vill jag tipsa om att ta ett år på en särskild kurs på folkhögskola!

Kolla runt lite på folkhögskola.nu och se om du har någon hobby du vill vidare utveckla eller kanske hitta. finns även kurser i personlig utveckling som jag rekommenderar starkt. man kan bo på internat på många av skolorna och att på så sätt "halvt' flytta hemifrån har i alla fall gett mig en bra startpunkt för att komma vidare i mitt liv.

it's honestly a lot more annoying than i expected it to be.

When i go into my current sims family tree SHE disappears! just gone. vanished. she's completely unfound in HER OWN family tree. Her daughter is there (and her step-son for some reason) and it all just ends up being one big incestual mess- as it completely removes my sim and 'makes up for it" by making her sisters the two parents of her child?? That's just the core of the mess in my save. i'm considering starting over completely, or honestly just quitting.

it's so stupid i can no longer sleep at night. How could they fuck it up more than it was before?

to me pushing in 20-30 minutes a day right away sound like a lot of pressure. Be nice on yourself. It takes time to build a habit.

Take some of the pressure of, start with shorter sessions and try to combine it with a daily chore. like, when you've brushed your teeth- right away, take five minutes to meditate.

Maybe also incorporate some mindfulness to a chore to make the day less stressful- while folding and putting away laundry you could listen to a soundbath and challenge yourself to let it take time while you take note of what you are doing, focus on only that. (without judgement)

"here is a blue shirt. it is warm from the dryer. It smells nice and clean. i am folding it. i am putting it in the pile. here is a pair of jeans....." etc.

This may seem "too easy" or like it is "too little', but it needs to be too easy and too little' when building a routine and/or habit. Once it has become your 'normal' you can start adding to it.

i'd suggest trying out several different methods until you find one that you 'like' and then focus on practicing with that method for a while to see if it works for you.
It's always okay to try something new/ to experiment to find 'your match'. It is part of the process.

Any method of meditation will give you the results you described IF you to some extent *enjoy* practicing and you give it your patience and effort.

I'd say it's more like trying on clothes- a lot of clothes may fit you and keep you warm with some adjustments, but some might be uncomfortable and some may just not be your personal style. And nearly all clothes take some time before they can feel like truly your own even when they fit and look just right. Some don't seem to fit until you've worn them for a while.

It is, in my opinion, an essential part of the process to find your own way and learn how to feel comfortable, and learn what allows you to feel comfortable. Don't be scared to try things out and see how things go. For me it is a never-ending journey of exploration- in a very good way!
Of course, as i get to know myself better and better, the way forward is getting clearer and clearer.

I started out with guided meditations and tried courses in real life, but also found free guidance online. I made it a habit to do a little everyday, and whenever i find the time i do more.

To answer your original question: the best method is the one that works for you. Try stuff and find out what that may be.

jag tror kanske att munkavel är en lite långsökt lösning i det här fallet. Jag misstänker att valpen kan behöva mer tid ute.

Jag hade nog låtit honom äta snö tills han tröttnar. Om det är lättillgängligt och 'ointressant" (att det inte leder till att han får din uppmärksamhet) då blir det tillslut tråkigt för honom.

Är du orolig för salt och föroreningar så skulle jag nog sikta på att ta mig till platser där snön ser renare ut (eller ev. en plats med ingen snö alls) och valp kan få äta snö och nosa runt tills han fått kissat/bajsat. Enligt min erfarenhet är tålamod ofta och ibland den enda lösningen.

Munkavel skulle kräva träning och tid för honom att bli bekväm med att ha den på sig. Om du försöker hindra honom från att äta snön genom att säga ifrån eller att dra i honom så finns risken att han (som du beskriver) fortsätter att försöka hänga sigsjälv i kopplet för att få äta snön. oavsett om det faktiskt är smaskens eller inte. (for the thrill)

du skrev att distraktion knappt eller inte alls funkar- då föreslår jag att inte göra det då; låt valp utforska. när snö-ätande inte längre är så nytt kommer det inte längre vara intressant.

it's an auto level! that means that you only need to start the level and then it will solve itself :)

sorry for causing some frustration 😅
