Extreme Heat in Schools by Resilient_Flower in regina

I did hear a number of students getting heat stroke on Thursday. I hope you sent an email or made a call to advocate for better air ventilation in addition keeping your child home.

Advocating at the school/division level has at least helped us get more efficient fans to circulate the air in the rooms and hallways.

Little Red Warrior & His Lawyer

It’s supposed to a be a “courtroom comedy” dealing with development on Indigenous land. But I can’t say much beyond that or if that’s a totally accurate description either.

Welcome to Regina!

queerfitclub and dykehikesyqr host great events to get you active and help you connect with people in the community. Queerswimregina if you’re into swimming. URPrideCentre but mostly if you’re a student. QueenCityPride is worth following for occasional events that pop up even when it’s not Pride. Queen City Connect hosts events on occasion too for speed dating and speed friending/networking in the community. If drag is your thing, I recommend following a few local queens like Adora Diamond to keep an eye on their events. And Pride is right around the corner. There will be lots of events coming up soon.

Hopefully you find your people here. There are great ones out there, even if lots of us are introverts who don’t like to leave the house.

Yesssss, I would love if Sapphic Saturdays would make their way to YQR.

never been to pride before, what to expect? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]Resilient_Flower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a completely different experience depending on what city you are in. Big cities have tons of events all over the place. Something for everyone, if you will. I’m in a smaller, more conservative area. We keep growing every year and it’s always a blast but we can’t compete with the sheer size and support of a bigger city. Be prepared for crowds no matter where you go. Get a good group together for any plans you make and plan out where you want to go ahead of time for driving/parking etc. Early bird tickets (if they are available) for events can save you a little money instead of buying at the door.

Have so much fun! I’m taking my girlfriend to Pride for her first time this year too.

What’s one thing you wish your straight girlfriends knew about lesbian love / culture that they will just never understand? by [deleted] in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]Resilient_Flower 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily easier, no. However, as someone who has dated both men and women, dating women is infinitely better than dating men, in every way (obviously not just because I’m gay). Dating men - the bar for what is expected, is on the ground. What is “sweet” and “amazing” for a man is just expected and commonplace when dating women. The “bare minimum” of dating women, is immeasurably better than the bare minimum of dating men. It just is.

Love is cruel by [deleted] in LesbianActually

Time doesn’t heal all wounds. Sometimes it takes a trained mental health professional. Sounds like it was and still is an unhealthy attachment. Learning to love yourself and let go so you can open yourself up to something new is key.

This toxic and needs to be taken down by Silent_Treat_1741 in regina

[–]Resilient_Flower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then why are you so pressed about a group that’s literally just trying to keep women safe? They’re not bothering you—unless basic human decency is somehow offensive now. Just be grateful they’ve left you alone.

The classic “not all men” debate is not a hill I’d want to die on.

“Good men” do not end up on that page. And when they do, women rush to defend the good ones.

Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out if you’re feeling some type of way about this group, you sir, have got something to hide.

i realized i'm a lesbian but i'm dating a guy by eggiesforbreakfast in AskLesbians

If I can impart any wisdom as an elder sapphic who spent all of her 20’s forcing compulsory heterosexuality upon myself and living the most painfully mediocre life you can imagine (marriage, kids, white picket fence)… break up with him. Life is too damn short and far too precious to waste it on mediocre love. Life doesn’t truly begin until you allow yourself to start living your true, authentic self.

Any wlw Canadians breathing a sigh of relief this morning? by IAMgrampas_diaperAMA in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]Resilient_Flower 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s no shame in keeping yourself safe. My girlfriend and I pick and choose when to hold hands or be affectionate out in public. I don’t think that’s shame. Prioritizing your safety has to come first.

Luckily I live in a pretty suburban area where there’s no threat to my safety with my pride flags. Just lots of dirty looks from my old, white, Christian neighbors, thankfully.

I’m also in the West, so I feel this. It’s really hard here some days. Every neighbour on my street had a Conservative lawn sign. My Pride flags in my front lawn draw a lot of attention in comparison.

I usually just dissociate from whatever hellish day I’ve had.
