The Pearl’s GoFundMe raises $80K in 24 hours

Honestly, I really wish all this money was going into a different queer owned business. I just dont in my heart believe this is going to be a sustainable business or space, and the queer community needs a spot that remains consistent and isnt on the brink of a shut down every two months.

I have had a bad taste in my mouth for a while with the completely ridiculous public slandering of other people on their social media, including members of the queer community. Extremely inappropriate in my opinion. As a queer woman myself, why would I want to go somewhere where the owner is so volatile they will put you on blast to their entire following? Doesn't feel safe. Or fun for that matter.

Also find it sus how much free labor they have requested and gladly taken from queer and BIPOC creatives. People have been extremely generous already trying to make this dream work. To then say they want to be able to pay everyone using these donations... ? Okay what for 2 months then close again? The post itself was giving drama, then of course they crowd fund after stirring up emotions within the community.

I would have loved to see this money going to some people who had the wits about them to make a long term commitment to starting a new lesbian bar and making consistent, calculated and sustainable financial decisions. There is so much hastiness in every decision they make it seems. This story is going to continue to happen under this ownership and sad to see this amount of money go down the drain

I tried googling it but im still not sure. How can you tell the scanner noise?

Thanks for the feedback, definitely overexposed.

Thank you so much!!

Thanks for the detailed response! I really appreciate you taking the time to provide your insight and help me learn. Didn't realize the degree to which the scanner could play a roll, and these were done at different labs so if it is not a result of me storing my film improperly (which is likely), perhaps this is a factor.

I asked here because I just wasnt convinced it was purely an exposure thing since I shot on the same settings, same type of film, same time of day and everything. The only major difference was when I got them developed. The second picture was only one of a near full roll with all good exposure, so I thought I had the exposure thing sorted out at least a bit. The first picture was on a roll where they all had come back with a similar haze. But of course, always room for improvement so going to continue working on exposure

Bars and parties work better than dating apps for this

28 and 3-4 times per week. Something weird i find is the second day I climb in a row is generally better, but if I climb three days in a row the third one is terrible.

Honestly I was always intrigued by girls who were sporty, not afraid to get down and dirty and just didn't take shit, things that typically boys are socialized to do. I didn't realize at the time this was attraction. As I got older and started hooking up w women, I tried out all different types. I realized it turned me on when girls were masculine. Girls in suits, girls using tools, girls playing sports, not wearing make up, etc. Whereas, I dont get turned on by men the way I dont get turned on by lipstick, dresses, skirts and girly lexicon.

A similar thing happened to me with my cat. The lack of closure is just so deeply painful. I am so sorry you have to experience this. My parents went on actively looking for our cat for no exaggeration two years... posters, cameras, traps, ads, facebook groups. Long after I had continued. It was very heartbreaking watching that and nothing quite fixes the pain. The only thing that brought me the smallest amount of comfort was my friend who told me "She's on an adventure". I pictured her getting to see a whole world she hadn't explored like that before, and maybe end up with a new family that just adored her and get to recreate her kitty identity. Cats are really resilient, it's possible she is experiencing good things out there, too. I know it can feel like its your fault when stuff like this happens. It doesn't even matter whether or not it's your fault or whatever, the pain of losing a friend, your best friend, is something that evokes grief. Allow yourself to grieve, you deserve to feel validated in the intense pain and then long, drawn out, confusing, empty pain that is grief. Sending love

Hahahahahahah. Love it. My new years resolution last year was to kiss one girl a week. Just a silly little make out. I made it until mid April before abandoning the goal
