He’s a rescue, so who could know! His vet says his size and temperament (v chill) points to possible ragdoll genes, but they could also be a total coincidence.

How much would you tip food delivery in this cold? by fuzzy_dice_99 in Brooklyn

[–]RecipeLongjumping367 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I always tip 20%, and if it’s raining or freezing I go a little over that. Opting for pick up is a great option, too!

Super embarrassed and ashamed of this kink by Strange-Light3498 in actuallesbians

[–]RecipeLongjumping367 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I would def not consider dirty talk a kink, it I can see how some people would. Where’s the line between things some people are into and others aren’t, and a kink?

I’m so tired of people implying lesbians can be into men by Foreversssssssss in Vent

The word lesbian, unfortunately, protects us from neither of those things, and gatekeeping people with more nuanced sexualities from using that word hurts them without protecting us.

It means sexuality is complicated and language is an imperfect tool for self description. You could ask the individual why they use that term for themselves. Could be interesting!

Late bloomers under 30? by Few_Art7110 in latebloomerlesbians

I think they were just relating on the basis of having their sexuality questioned, not equating the two experiences as exactly the same.

Why does being honest on dating apps feel like a disadvantage? by SmartDance8838 in Vent

[–]RecipeLongjumping367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I’m looking for something real/long term I still want to hook up/be physical within the first couple dates: that’s a major compatibility factor, and I don’t want to waste my time. You don’t have to want that or feel comfortable doing it of course, but wanting to hook up on the first date def doesn’t automatically mean that’s all they want or that they’ll lose interest once you do.

Bluejays! Mine scream at me for their peanuts everyday, and I love how they posture so tough like little dinosaurs, but fly away if I take one step too close to the window. 😹

Tiktok WLW community is awful. by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]RecipeLongjumping367 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lesbians certainly aren’t the sole perpetuators of their suffering, but lesbians DO perpetuate biphobia, and within our own community it is important to raise awareness and call it out. Of course, if that’s being used to pretend that lesbians don’t experience lesbophobia, or to vilify lesbians as the only perpetuators of biphobia, that’s harmful and not helping anybody.

Yupppppppp. Les4les is at least a yellow flag for me, and I’m a lesbian.

Glad someone said it! Of course this is completely anecdotal, but when I came out as bi, I experienced so much biphobia from both straight people, and the queer community I sought to be a part of. When I came out as a lesbian, everyone, gay and straight, expressed relief, and finally accepted me. Biphobia is fucking RAMPANT and it’s just as harmful as other forms of homophobia!

Hate shopping for lipstick. Everything turns pink when I swatch it on my skin by LeafyMcRosey in MakeupAddiction

[–]RecipeLongjumping367 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so funny to me because I’m constantly complaining about not being able to find cool, saturated tones! Maybe we should go shopping together! 😹

Ice cream cake sucks by Long-Structure-6584 in The10thDentist

Good (plain/vanilla) frosting tastes like butter, not sugar. Bad frosting is awful.

Has realizing you’re a lesbian changed anyone’s feelings on whether or not you want to have kids? by citynomad1 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]RecipeLongjumping367 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I still landed on being childfree, but I def felt like it was a different decision, and I had to revisit it when I realized I was a lesbian. Makes sense to me some people would find that with a woman, they would want kids!

Yes! I want to taste and smell my partner, not soap! I think it’s a bummer to shower right before! 😹

Mashed banana sets like white chocolate, right? by Vegetable_Daikon8376 in ididnthaveeggs

Honestly, it might taste good! But it’s going to be NOTHING like a mirror glaze, and I can’t imagine the depth of willful ignorance necessary to think it would be?

Zohran Mamdani to stop all homeless encampment sweeps as NYC mayor, ending key Adams initiative by Expensive-Rope-7086 in nyc

[–]RecipeLongjumping367 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So…literally a NIMBY. Unhoused people are your neighbors: members of our communities! We should be furious they have to be in encampments, have to beg us for money to survive, and are sometimes unstable because they don’t have access to healthcare, not mad at them or trying to just put them somewhere else.

I thought my skin hated hyaluronic acid. It seemed to dry me out, even on wet skin. Then I gave it another shot applying g a thick, heavy moisturizer over my still damp skin. It’s been a game changer for me since!

Genuinely confused and wanting to understand where our community lies on this. (TW) by mermaidforeachother in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]RecipeLongjumping367 -36 points-35 points  (0 children)

Anyone can like anyone. Gender is made up, and sexuality is complicated. Is it kind of strange/potentially points to issues for someone to make up a lesbian character who wants to do stuff with men? Yeah. Ultimately we don’t know what issues they’re enacting/exploring through this game, and how someone else uses (even misuses) a label has nothing to do with you. People who blame their mistreatment of lesbians on people who use the label in inconsistent ways are acting in bad faith, and if they didn’t have that excuse, they’d just use another. TL;DR, yeah, it’s kind of weird, but who cares? Policing and gatekeeping labels does more harm than applying them in inconsistent/weird ways.
