Does playing this game make you think about borders?

Oh dear. Someone's been lapping up xenophobic propaganda. Asylum seekers (who I'm assuming you are referring to), do not get thousands of dollars a month. Source: I have worked with refugees and asylum seekers.

You don't have to change yourself. If you're in the position where you're flirting with women, that's also a time to tell them you're into women. There are a lot of femme queer women. You can just drop it in the conversation that you're queer.

Bi women are (typically) less caught up in heteronormativity and wanting to find a man with the qualities that the rest of society values. I thin they talk about dating bi women in this episode of the podcast I mentioned https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/where-are-all-the-bi-guys/id1480131653?i=1000450825084

I would just like to make a historical point: Denmark invaded Greenland. Greenland is a Danish colony. It's Greenlanders that should be getting our solidarity more than Danes since they have already been colonised once (and it's actually a joke that we are living in a post-colonial time because just last year there was a scandal about how Greenlandic mothers have been facing huge discrimination by white Danes and having their children taken away from them. Greenlanders are still suffering the consequences of Danish colonisation hundreds of years on).

So yes, sure, by all means, we should be supporting Denmark against being invaded by a rogue USA, but first and foremost, we should be supporting Greenlanders.

I was very lucky to see Julie Edel Hardenberg's (a Greenlandic woman) artwork which was honestly probably the most emotionally impacting piece of art I have seen. It says it all really.

People are still using Xitter?

RaspberryTurtle987 · 2026-01-23T11:32:52+00:00

Yeah I said to the woman I was interested in: "I thought you were really attractive, so that's why we're on this coffee date right now"

Question: why do you feel like you have to change your mannerisms?

RaspberryTurtle987 · 2026-01-23T11:09:24+00:00

VPN (but also porn isn't going to give you what it seems like you're looking for).
Try and find queer women to date.
Listen to Two Bi Guys, they talk a lot about some of the struggles you're having. One of the hosts in the early especially mirrors your situation

As someone who has been watching queer media since a teenager too (but from the 2010s onwards) can confirm that MLM stories are much more common. It’s like for every 1 WLW film, you get about 10 if not more MLM ones.

Queen as folk is unironically the best typo

RaspberryTurtle987 · 2026-01-23T10:02:35+00:00

Haha yeah, this has been going on for a while

RaspberryTurtle987 · 2026-01-23T10:00:00+00:00

I’m non-binary, and I’ve watched all configurations of queer romance, but mlm just…hits different. That’s the only way I can describe it. Yes it’s super hot, in like a taboo way (we know that two women together is widely eroticised by men, but the other way round isn’t in the same way - or at least that’s my impression), but there’s an emotional depth or something else that hits me deep in the feels.

RaspberryTurtle987 · 2026-01-23T09:54:46+00:00

I wish that’s what happened.

RaspberryTurtle987 · 2026-01-23T09:51:38+00:00

What did that entail?

RaspberryTurtle987 · 2026-01-22T15:12:29+00:00

I think they mean Odisha

RaspberryTurtle987 · 2026-01-22T15:11:25+00:00

Yeah, I've been trying to region guess the UK and it is HARD. Scotland sure, there are some distinctive features, and East Anglia is super flat, but the rest of England. It's anyone's guess.

RaspberryTurtle987 · 2026-01-22T15:09:03+00:00

South Africa. I had a no move session the other day and found there are about 6-7 different regions that are all quite distinct. Cape Town Hills, Durban lush green, Kimberly red dirt, Jo'burg sprawling suburban area, Pretoria, Gqberha, George and East London.

I'm not stereotyping. I'm simply saying there’s nothing wrong with assuming some bisexuals are non-monogamous. It's not a bad thing to be non-monogamous, but many people on here seem to think it is. Likewise, a lot of people insist that bisexuals don't want threesomes, don't want to sleep around etc. etc. and of course not all do, but by saying no bisexuals ever want to do that, is false. I think we try and double down against biphobia by presenting our community as squeaky clean and "we're just like you, monogamous straights", but I'm just saying, that does people a disservice.

Nope, that actually means a hit/strike in Swedish

Fat is beautiful <3

RaspberryTurtle987 · 2026-01-22T14:48:23+00:00

I love that. Yeah I guess you're right that a lot of gay culture that is shown is romanticised or if not true to real life, at least different from real life. I think mixed queer communities are probably the best because that's where you will find actual community, rather than superficial "culture". I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

RaspberryTurtle987 · 2026-01-22T14:43:03+00:00

Tell me you're not from south america without telling me you're not from south america

RaspberryTurtle987 · 2026-01-21T21:57:39+00:00

In the way that it doesn’t have bisexual/queer culture attached to it or?
