Happy International Lesbian Day!

Day & Night

I love the expressions when people fall in love.

So, I’ve studied a blushing face for a long time.

Someone want to see a happy one, so i made happy one better than others.

Enjoy the meme!

Moar gfs in suits.

Jasper: I JUST REALIZED WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT DINOSAURS SOUND LIKE! THEY COULD’VE BEEN SPEAKING FLUENT GERMAN FOR ALL WE KNOW

Bellamy: It’s too early for this shit.

Jasper: GUTEN MORGEN HERR PTERODACTYL

Monty: WIE GEHTS FRAU MASTADON

Raven: Oh my god, neither of those are dinosaurs and there’s 145 million years separating them both, this conversation is a palaeontological disaster

gnc/butch woman literature masterpost (work in progress)

As a gnc woman and lesbian, the near complete lack of people like myself in media can be really alienating and disheartening. Whereas normally its pretty easy to find recommendations for helpful/enjoyable/interesting books of certain types,  i noticed tht i found it kinda difficult to get recommendations of books about being a gnc woman/ books with gnc lesbian protag/ lesbian fiction in general tht doesnt objectify Lesbian women etc, aside from constantly harassing friends for advice and scouring the corners of the internet/stalking people blogs.

Ive compiled a (somewhat short, but hopefully helpful!) list of books that deal with this subject matter, in hope that someone might find it helpful. Idk maybe this is stupid and nobody will even care but i know as a teenager i would have rly appreciated finding smth like this, so I’ve provided some recommendations for lesbian books, with an emphasis on butch/gnc representation, along with some notes n stuff. Enjoy! :D

DISCLAIMER i havent read all of these but ill take full responsibility for anything bad tht ive inadvertently mentioned here. If u think theres smth on here tht shouldnt be, pls msg me and hopefully ill get rid of it.

without further ado;
