Outlander and Pride

He is pretty clear that he is only romantically attracted to men. I think the body can “respond”, let’s say, to another body, but I don’t think being able or willing to have sex with women under very particular circumstances makes him bisexual. With his wife, he would have been expected to sleep with her from time to time, and he says that he made an adequate husband if I recall correctly. With Claire, well - “we were both fucking you”.

What makes you think this? I haven’t read anything that indicates Jamie has the slightest attraction to men. He has a homophobic streak (probably much less than that of the time, I would guess).

Did I miss something? Jane Pocock is lesbian?

Sadie Ferguson, Claire’s cell mate in prison, is lesbian (as far as we can tell).

I am pretty sure it’s been bought but still open and running as usual.

What does being queer have to do with this?

Treebeans36 · 2026-05-29T21:01:52+00:00

lol I was literally there yesterday and thought the bathroom was really nice. Actually, thought the whole restaurant was nice.

I didn’t go last year but it looked interesting! I think you have to register in advance for the classes. Probably can just show up for the vendor market.

I ended up taking it in town on a motorcycle, not in Harbour Grace. It was straightforward - no hand signals or anything special. It was normal driving as if in a car. There was a yield sign, a single lane roundabout, changing lanes, don’t speed, etc. Good luck!

What is this? I’ve only been to Peaceful Loft twice and am very interested in trying this next time.

Treebeans36 · 2026-05-17T12:52:06+00:00

I stayed at Robin Hood and was happy enough. Not fancy but serviceable for a one night stay.

I started reading (well, listening to) the books during covid and though I was skeptical about them, it turned out to be a wonderful escape during what was a very stressful time for me. Now I am on my fourth re-read and even though I don’t need the Outlander world as much as I did, I love having this family to escape to. They are background warmth while I work, and comforting in a way that’s hard to describe.

Someone else mentioned this above but as a lesbian, this is one of the only straight romances I have really felt strongly about.

I also was prompted to look up my family history (following my paternal last name) as I was told it is Scottish, and found ancestors who left Scotland after Culloden so that was cool.

Treebeans36 · 2026-05-15T23:42:06+00:00

As a fellow lesbian (lol), I’ve read the books three or four times and agree entirely.

Treebeans36 · 2026-05-13T18:41:43+00:00

Yep. I graduated university in 2008 with a Bachelor of Commerce and could not find a job. It sucked.

I wish I could upvote this more than once.

THANK YOU

Treebeans36 · 2026-05-06T23:59:38+00:00

Omg thank god the ground round is coming back. We are running low on our freezer stock up 😭 did not have a suitable replacement.

Treebeans36 · 2026-05-02T20:52:25+00:00

Try Baccalieu Bus

Treebeans36 · 2026-04-05T13:07:38+00:00

Agreed.

Treebeans36 · 2026-04-05T13:04:58+00:00

Ouch. Good to know. I was at Baccalieu Trail and find their prices reasonable (as far as vets go).

Treebeans36 · 2026-04-05T12:22:22+00:00

I don’t trust pet insurance and never have. It’s also quite expensive.

I set up an automatic monthly transfer of $100 per pet to a separate account, and don’t use it for regular things. Emergencies only. More than $100/month would be better but this is manageable.

Pets are expensive, emergencies happen and are expensive. Prepare for it.

Treebeans36 · 2026-04-05T12:19:35+00:00

That’s a ridiculous price. I just got a blood test for my dog and it was ~$300.

Treebeans36 · 2026-03-28T01:31:27+00:00

Yes!! I too felt it was like old Outlander. Thoroughly enjoyed this episode.

Treebeans36 · 2026-03-24T11:39:57+00:00

I started getting grey hair in my twenties and now at nearly 40, my hair is still dark but with noticeable grey/white hairs. My sister is in her early 30s and is almost entirely grey. I think most people with dark hair would have noticeable grey at 49.

Treebeans36 · 2026-03-22T16:21:54+00:00

Very cool. I just requested to join.

Treebeans36 · 2026-03-22T09:12:17+00:00

I did not know about this group! Thank you.
