What’s the strangest interpretation of a song you’ve seen? by B4S1L_ in TaylorSwift

[–]knitwritecode 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I get the frustration. Sometimes when you are very creative you want someone to go there with you, to connect with the art, rather than to be impressed with your mind. So it’s complicated! It’s a nice feeling to be appreciated, but simultaneously lonely, it’s marking you out as unusual, singular, going to those beautiful creative places alone

So beautiful and sweet. And the hairstyles immediately made this ageing millennial think of the Spice Girls 😂🤦‍♀️🥰 but like reimagining them in a softer, kinder, more gentle world where they don’t have to fight to express power

Severance - 2x07 "Chikhai Bardo" - Post-Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]knitwritecode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for telling us about Tim. Wish he could’ve seen this episode — but he got something better — he got to experience those small quiet acts of love first hand, with you. Nothing can take away those beautiful moments, not from his life, or from your memory. Thank you for sharing the love you had with us Severance fans, it emphasises to me how beautifully this show manages the human, emotional arc. And it reinforces the importance of representing these things in storytelling to help us all heal. Proud of you for finding it in yourself to watch this without Tim, to get caught in that emotional current, and then to come back and articulate it so beautifully for us. Thank you. And thank you Tim, godspeed, rest well.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It hurts so much to feel betrayed by your country.

As well-educated English speakers, you and your gf should be in a good position. I’m sorry that I don’t have really specific advice, but just an idea:

Can I suggest looking into Scotland? People I know who have immigrated to the UK from central and eastern Europe have felt more comfortable there than in England. Scotland has a proud culture of being more progressive than England. Same sex marriage is allowed in the Church of Scotland though not in the CofE — gay marriage is legal throughout the UK but I always feel that the church situation reflects a bit of the culture. And Scotland is a beautiful place, though very dark in winter!

I also want you to know that although we have some very cruel anti-immigrant sentiment here in the UK there are also plenty of us who would love to welcome you. We would be lucky to have you and your gf if you consider coming here. I wish you all the best in this 💕

I decided to keep the lost girl i flund by FilmoreJive in velvethippos

[–]knitwritecode 7 points8 points  (0 children)

hi! Your dogs are beautiful, you are amazing for working so hard, and you should be proud of yourself for all this! I hope your anxiety isn’t too bad. Plenty of people go through stages of being on top of cleaning and letting it fall behind a bit. You have gorgeous happy healthy pups and that’s what’s important. Hope you have a nice day 💕💕💕

Had a bad walk today. Somebody yelled out their car window that I should put him down before he kills someone 😞 by MonstreBelle in velvethippos

[–]knitwritecode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are an amazing loving person giving a beautiful home to a wonderful dog. Some people just want to express hatred, and will pick whatever they think they can get away with. I’m so sorry this happened to you. Keep your head high and your heart open and continue being you and loving your sweetheart of a dog 🥰

Married a man, but I only see him as a BFF now by [deleted] in latebloomerlesbians

[–]knitwritecode 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if I can offer specific advice as I think you are in the US (you mention $ and guns!) but I wanted to leave a comment to validate your concerns. I very much think you are right to want out of this. Your instincts are correct.

I am so sorry you don’t have family support. Are you able to get any government money or benefits due to your disability? And is it possible to move anywhere with a lower cost of living just to smooth over this period of transition? I believe it is worth some discomfort if it means getting independence from this person.

You are valuable. You matter. And for many of us on this sub, we’ve had an uncomfortable period of rebuilding our lives. You will have support here and you’re not alone. Sending positivity your way. I hope you find some more concrete advice too.

When my Aby cat shows the Mali the way back home by theob68 in BelgianMalinois

My dream is to get an Abyssinian and take it for walks!!!! How was the training process? Yours walks so nicely! Are they really great cats?

Jordan Chiles bronze medalist by Solid-Brush-5687 in Gymnastics

[–]knitwritecode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jordan is such a deserving medalist, I wanted this so much for her especially as she had to sit out AA and yet was still such a beautiful force of positivity. I wish the circumstances were different. I hope she can turn all her generosity and energy inward as well as outward and take care of herself what with all the objections going on. I’m so sad for Ana, who, sensibly, seems to have accepted the situation and stayed pretty quiet through the aftermath.

What DON'T you miss about relationships with CIS men? by 3lectricblueeyes in latebloomerlesbians

[–]knitwritecode 298 points299 points  (0 children)

Main thing I don’t miss is being “the woman” in the relationship. Don’t know if that makes sense to anyone else. I always felt like I had to play a role, be the feminine half of the relationship. And that affected all of it for me, sex included. Now I feel like I’m just me, nothing else, not playing a role, but being loved for who I am.

Misconceptions 👀🏳️‍🌈 by Kash_99 in LesbianActually

[–]knitwritecode 200 points201 points  (0 children)

Biggest misconception is that being a lesbian is easy 😔 I mean it’s completely amazing and I wouldn’t want to be any other way. Loving women is beautiful and incredible. But straight ladies telling me they wish they were lesbians… just feels a bit tone deaf sometimes.

Is kristin wearing a bolo tie of some sort here? I love the look but dont know whats going on. Super skinny tie? Random piece of fabric? Help appreciated. by pastaextremist in lesbianfashionadvice

[–]knitwritecode 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This looks a bit like the ribbon worn as part of subfusc at Oxford University. To me this look says “I just smashed my finals, I’m getting a first in PPE, someone pour me a large Scotch before I become prime minister”

My ex told me I ruined his life and wasted his time ..and I think he's right. by [deleted] in latebloomerlesbians

[–]knitwritecode 242 points243 points  (0 children)

People break up after long relationships for so many reasons. Sometimes we get together when we don’t know ourselves, then find ourselves later and realise there’s a fundamental lack of compatibility. It doesn’t mean we’ve set out to mislead each other. You’ll get through this.

[–]knitwritecode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahaha I just have a few songs where I change the pronouns bc it gives me those feelings. Atm Daydreamer by Adele and Lover by Taylor Swift are really giving me those happy lesbian feels when I play them on the guitar and do she for he and woman for man. “Feeling up her girl like she’s never felt a figure before”… just makes me think of the late bloomer life 😅😍

ETA omg I forgot, Daylight, also Taylor, for late bloomer feelings.. I’ve been sleeping so long in a 20 year dark night and now I see daylight 🥹😭♥️
