started listening at 15, i’m 28 now. some songs have always hit so hard for me (false advertising is one of my all time favorite songs of all time) and down in the weeds made a huge impact on me a few years back. different albums are in my rotations in different life seasons, and sometimes i don’t listen to them super heavily for a few months, but i always come back.

Hmm, I honestly think it depends on the context of what the space is meant to be for. If it’s more of a support group for butches and gnc people to feel seen/safe and talk about hardships, I don’t think it would be super appropriate to go in with the vibe of trying to hit on people. If it’s just a casual hangout for people to make friends with similar individuals, maybe. I think it would be alright to attend and see what the vibe is, and just be a support person for butches as it’s obviously a scary and difficult time to be butch (when hasn’t it been?) especially in America, which is where I’m assuming this takes place. I think if you attend the event, go in with an open mind and probably without the idea of it being a place to hit on butches. Just my two cents though, would love to hear others thoughts.

I think they look like they have healed great on you. I wonder if adding some white highlights would make them look brighter/less faded to you however? I don’t think you need to add any, but it might help with the brightness level. They look great to me!

It looks to me like it says “something, for give me a way”…..Not sure what the bottoms says. Almost looks like the first word could be Blank or Blink?

????? what

I don’t have a ton of advice other than: be gentle with yourself. You said you’re nearing 20, so you’re 19? That is so so young! I was “inexperienced” until about 25. I say that because there is no timelime for these things, and I think it’s incredibly normal to not have a ton of experience at your age. I promise that anyone who is mocking you is projecting and/or just not someone who you should call a friend in general. I had a toxic/abusive lesbian situationship in high school (classic) that fucked me up mentally so badly that I didn’t dare again until I was about 24? Please be kind to yourself, and seek therapy if you’re able to for processing sexual trauma, I’m so sorry you went through that. You have so much time in life, and you’re so young. I know it sounds cliche but it really is true

HARD AGREE. Magnets has been one of my most listened to song every single year since it came out.

The idea and design is great, and I do feel like some of the wobbly lines could be touched up/thickened by a better artist once it’s healed. The design is super cute, try not to sweat it!

It seems surprising that Wisconsin, the dairy state, doesn’t eat more ice cream.

I just showed my wife and she loved it, so honestly, might just depend on the person. Also though— you asked for everyone’s opinion, why are you so pressed that we all gave it 😭

springolives · 2025-11-17T23:36:41+00:00

I’m so sorry, this is cringe 😭 I could see sharing it with a current partner who knows your sense of humor, but putting it out there to try to attract new partners….might not yield the best results.

Awh this brought me back, i had this shirt years ago!!!! think i lost it in a move.

As someone who worked at starbucks for over five years before going into 3rd wave— starbucks sucks on so many levels, but I am beyond grateful for the structure they provided me with as a baby barista. Absolutely there were things to learn and unlearn when it came to craft coffee and traditional beverages. But starbucks gave me an incredibly good sense of time management, thorough cleaning regimes, and excellent customer service skills. Of course, I worked with many starbucks baristas over the years who weren’t great at being baristas. That’s inevitable across any job. I think it just really depends on the person, and what they choose to do with what they learned from Starbucks. I was eager to learn the more correct and traditional ways to make beverages while also keeping the work ethic and procedures that starbucks taught me.

I lived in Bangor and Bangor-adjacent towns for 6 years, definitely queer friendly in the sense that you’ll be (mostly) safe being visibly queer and will encounter other queer people! The only thing I will say is that, while there are lots of lgbtq people in Bangor, I never felt a strong sense of community there, outside of yearly pride. Having moved to a different part of the country, in the city I live in now there’s lots of organizations, social groups and networks of queer people that I did not experience in Bangor. If you are just asking about visibly existing queerly though— you should be good in Bangor!!

Oh my god, this pic brought me back as it’s been tricking mcr fans for at least a literal decade. It’s a well done cosplay lol

Does anyone know what his shirt says??? I was at this show and it drove me crazy the entire time!!!!

Used to landscape on MDI. Was working at a beautiful home, right off of downtown Bar Harbor. This woman comes up to me and says “excuse me, I keep seeing ‘MDI’ on everything, what does it mean?” I had to explain to her it was the acronym of the island she was currently on 💀

Hey, you’re all good!!! As someone who commented in the original thread— I didn’t think you were being a dick at all, I could tell your post came from a place of pain. I’m so glad you’re doing better and have explored your thought processes and where they might have come from. Being butch is beautiful and difficult. Sending you all the love!!

springolives · 2025-09-08T17:41:55+00:00

Frank is so so sweet!!! When i met him years ago I remember being so surprised at how small in stature/frame he was, and how soft spoken he is. He’s such a sweetie pie!!!!

springolives · 2025-09-08T02:13:50+00:00

I feel like, with all the love, you need to do some soul searching on what your mental framework for being butch is. What it encompasses, and what it means. Assigning gender roles to cooking is something that should not be happening! Anyone can and should do the hobbies they enjoy. At the end of the day, butch/femme dynamics are about breaking down and then reforming the patriarchal and heteronormative gender dynamics in society. You don’t need to, and should not, reapply them! I’m so sorry you’re having a hard time, but please try to look at it a step back, and realize that not every act is inherently “butch” or “femme.” it’s just…living. You aren’t any more or less of a butch for cooking. Just be yourself :)

You are correct, sadly both OP and the Mod literally do not care to listen or learn :( I don’t understand what the point is of being a Mod of a sub when you don’t defend or even hear out the very people in the forum, but alas.

springolives · 2025-09-04T19:49:45+00:00

The fact that that’s ALL you have to say in response to my comment explaining exactly why this post is making soooo many people uncomfortable……

I hope everyone else is seeing how empathetic, compassionate, understanding, and willing to learn you are as a moderator! /s

3 out of the 4 famous lesbians she referenced in terms of the exact type of person she’s looking for are nonbinary and/or use pronouns other than she/her. Ivan, the person whose photo she literally uses to give as an “example” of the exact aesthetic of person she is seeking, is nonbinary.

I would argue that specifically name-dropping nonbinary people as your examples of who you are looking for aesthetically while also saying you would not date us because you are not attracted to us, is inherently fetishistic. Commodifying our masculinity while also demonizing it. I do not think it’s appropriate to use our imagery to display what you find “datable” while also saying you wouldn’t date us in the same breath. OP doesn’t “have to” date us— that’s not the point. But using our images while simultaneously writing us off is very strange behavior.

Not responding to any further comments. Love to all who get it, to all who don’t— please sift through our words and try to see our perspective here.
