Sapphic art.

Thinking about the scene in Feinburg’s “Stone Butch Blues” where it talks about femmes being the strong ones at home, holding butches in their arms and letting them just be, because they’re so visible throughout the day, and they get abused and called harsh names, and they’re never allowed to be soft. And I’m thinking about my trans girlfriend and how when she gets home after spending a day pretending to be a man—just to be safe— and I hold her in my arms, and I am her place to be soft, her place to be herself, and we comfort each other. I can’t think of anything more lesbian than us looking out for each other that way.

Continuing our series, Lesbian Magazines Through the Decades we have DYKE, A Quarterly published in New York from 1975 to 1979. Liza Cowan and Penny House created the magazine as a space for Lesbian cultural analysis. It was radically political but also extremely personal with letters and submissions from Lesbians searching for community. DYKE was intended to be a platform curated for dykes, the group felt that devoting any time to explaining our way of life to the straight masses was a waste and energy should be put only to strengthening Lesbian culture. In a statement from the magazine this is made clear when they say “Lesbian community – Lesbian culture- means Lesbian only DYKE is a magazine for Dykes only! We will speak freely among ourselves. We are not interested in telling the straight world what we are doing. In fact, we hope they never even see the magazine. It is none of their business.” Here at the June L. Mazer Lesbian collection is open to anyone who wants to learn about Lesbian history.

Lesbians watching TVD

I started watching TVD with my straight friend, she can't decide between Damon and Stefan. Elena on the other hand *whistle* 

Lesbian culture

Two types of lesbians: Either being a total goth girl with loads of rings and cute black skirts and wearing fishnets and DMs or being a total cottage core witchy girl who wears pretty white dresses and flowers in their hair. 

WLW when they smell a rainstorm coming...

Idk what it is about skywater that makes us go apeshit.

A scene that is burned in my head.

Lesbian Book Request

I think I might identify somewhat with femme lesbians, but I have a hard time reading queer theory because it’s too relatable. 😅 I’ve read Anzaldua and Feinburg. Any suggestions for lesbian literature that explores femme-butch culture, but preferably something that will only make me cry a little bit as opposed to something like Stone Butch Blues that ripped my goddamn heart out? 😅

In essence, “time of useful consciousness” (TUC) is when living, breathing beings are able to function with inadequate oxygen. From Wikipedia: “The period of time from interruption of oxygen supply or exposure to an oxygen-poor environment to the time when useful function is lost, and the individual is no longer capable of taking proper protective action.”

If you’re a hiker going up Everest, for example, TUC gets shorter as you go higher. … ….”

I don’t care what we talk about, as long as i’m talking to you

My friend went “why did you straighten your hair today”

And my other friend looks up suddenly interested in the conversation, and I went “well I wanted to look the opposite of what I’m feeling”

Then the first friend laughs, and the second one looks confused so, without missing a beat, I go “because I’m not straight”

lesbian culture is...

- both agreeing that the ideal house is a cottage in the middle of the woods 

- helping your girlfriend to take photos of the homemade earrings she sells, one pair of which is shaped like scissors

- buying pride-themed stickers at an overpriced store in the city, just because they’re  g a y

(okay so maybe i’m just describing my first date with my girlfriend but still-)

Does anyone else get uncomfortable around the word lesbian? I like to say “I like girls” or “I’m gay”
