Women of Lit: A Safe Place To Share

[Ssbbw4u1974]

Some relationships need to be literal ships and sail away. When you find the one that becomes a safe harbor, that's when you can disembark, build your home, and plant your garden—together.

That reminds me of my favorite poem that ends,
" I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul."

I am so grateful for a special guy friend in my life, who keeps me as sane as I can get.. And when I drift from that sanity, he's my rock..

Invictus, by William Ernest Henley! Yes!
My best friend shared that poem with me while I was in the hospital recovering from the episode of violence that ended my last relationship. To this day it brings me strength.

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

I'm going to post this here.. Since I'm doing bragging and bitching about men:

This is sooo true...
2 men in my life I shared my feelings with about our "relationship". I had ended it multiple times on different occasions,
Guy 1 blamed me, took zero responsibility.
Guy 2 takes into account my emotions, I'm still in his life...

She's completely right and it gets me so depressed.

She's completely right and it gets me so depressed.

She is right!
And here we are in this country with so many assaults from people like teachers, police officers, religious leaders and all the conservative media and politicians choose to demonize are trans and lgbtq+ folk.

Like many, I wish I knew how we get out of this ugly place we are in, but in the meantime I choose to raise my voice at public gatherings protesting.
For me it helps just doing this small act, and being with others that feel the same.

I can’t find his name now but one Republican strategist announced several years back that yes, they were going to make trans people targets solely in a cynical attempt to activate the fears that gay people no longer produced. He fucking TOLD THE MEDIA he was going to do this, and then did it, and the media blindly amplified “these good people’s real and honest feelings of concern” <vomit> as if they had not been told in advance it was a con.

What victories we have had for queer rights have only ever come from being open and letting people see us as other perfectly normal people. But right now when the government is actively hostile and openly crazy rather than indifferent? Im scared for my friends. I really am.

I’m a married mom, outwardly hetero, only dipping my toe into indulging my Bi side. But my daughter is openly Ace, my son has a mass of autism and ADHD special needs. I can’t really hide. ultimately all of us are at risk.

If the media was truly an impartial, objective source I wonder if we would be in this mess? Likely not, or perhaps not so hopelessly mired....

More than one lgbtq activist I've read has said that as a community we do need to be visible, but omg! it hasn't been easy at times!

Fear and sex sells media space

On a happier note on 18th April 1930, the bbc broadcast that there was no news. More of that please

Media having such a bad memory is outrageous. Basically not doing their job - their turnover isn't THAT fast!

And why didn't they make noise about it in the first place?

Oh, I feel you. A couple years ago, a colleague who is a gay man told me I had it easy because I could hide behind my husband and kid and just pretend not to be bi. I was a bit put off by that sentiment then, and I am even more so now. Being a woman is never having it easy. Period. And being non-straight only exacerbates that.

But kudos to your daughter for knowing she's Ace! That can be tough when so much of society tells people they have to be sexual in some way. A son of a friend identifies as asexual and bi-romantic, but he's given up on the romantic part entirely because he says everyone expects him to just give in to a sexual relationship if he tries to have a romantic relationship. He's kinda afraid he's going to end up alone, and he really wants the romantic part.

I really feel for him. I know how hard gay dating can be without compounding that with being Ace.

At this point in my life I too am pretty much asex. Occasionally a little desire will sneak by, but I'm truly happy living my life not consumed, like so many of my friends for the sex thing.
I don't know if it will always be this way for me, but no hurry to change!
Even so I still love my hugs an snuggles sooo much

New summer wardrobe incominggggg. I mix and matched some outfits to see the vision and I think it’s cohesive?



Obviously not my work attire, but I think it’ll be nice to lean more into my femininity again. It has been nice.

I don’t have many accessories but I prefer to thrift or source second hand for most of that unless they’re nice pieces. Maybe I’ll find some time for that this week

From the OP - read the room:

responses from men are not welcome in this thread; no, you're not as witty as your testosterone tells you.

Just the usual BS over in the LGBTQIA threads ...
Plus life, work, food... and sex I guess

Body part pics are always a huge risk. The culture on each individual thread is different here, but as always it only takes one asshole….

Oh the river cruise sounds wonderful!
