many people don’t know this but lesbian friends is actually on the hierarchy of needs pyramid

maybe not my place since I'm not a straight person, but I truly do think a lot of straight people are just sexually incompatible with their partners without realizing it, and that's why many of them don't understand top/bottom dynamics.
like a couple where both enjoy 'receiving' but neither enjoys 'giving,' or visa versa, isn't a very compatible sexual partnership (which is like okay, you can work around that if you want), but instead of realizing that individual incompatibility, they assume that it's a universal circumstance and therefore turn-taking is required to not be selfish.
and so then they hear about dynamics outside of verse 4 verse and they're like "that sounds unfair" & it's like.. tops & bottoms are deciding and vocally communicating what they want out of sex and getting it. there is no one being wronged in this equation.
like every time a woman says stone bottoms/high femmes/pillow princesses are "selfish" I wanna be like.. do you want to exclusively bottom? you can own that. they're not selfish for wanting or receiving that, and you wouldn't be either. there are people who enjoy exclusively giving, and if you communicated your preferences it'd probably be easier to find them.
I feel like straight people get jealous of gay people's sex lives, but due to homophobia also making them disgusted with gay sex they can't process what they're feeling as jealousy so it becomes moral condemnation.

Stone Soup
8x10" stone lithograph, inspired by Marcia Brown's 1947 retelling - her illustrations where some of my favorites as a kid
ID: A black and white lithograph print. At the center is a black pot with a large stone hovering above it and a fire glowing below. Around these against a black background are foods from the story - a bag of grain, a bunch of carrots, potatoes, cabbage, a side of beef, and a can of milk. The border around it has a sword at the top right, a big spoon in the bottom left, and hands reaching out on the top left and bottom right.
Had a shitty stupid day, came home and made myself a hot buttered rum, and with the first sip every sore muscle in my body relaxed. In case you need a cure like that, here's my recipe. I make mine in a big ass mug so if you use a standard coffee mug you'll need to size it down. It's all to taste, anyway.
- Brew mug most of but not all the way full with strong black tea. Traditionally it's made with hot water but we all know tea is the best kind of hot water. Chai would probably be great but I love just an English breakfast.
- Add a couple spoonfuls of brown sugar, a splash of vanilla extract, a little cinnamon, and a pinch of salt (a little more than you think you'll want)
- Add rum. A strong warm flavor is ideal - black rum, spiced rum, I got a vanilla one once that made phenomenal buttered rums. Strength is up to you. In a big mug that I'm just drinking for comfort I'll still put a good shot in there, but if you want you can mix this shit deadly and it'll still be delicious.
- Look at me. Look at me. I wouldn't lie to you about this. "Buttered" is literal. Add a big hunk of butter. No, bigger than that. Whisk it in until it melts. When you got enough in there it should be just a little paler and more opaque than it started.
If you sip it and it tastes sweet but flat, like it's missing something, add more butter or salt. Enjoy. Don't say I never did anything for you.
Which heritage breeds are you raising on your farm?
so there’s not really distinct breeds of domestic turkeys, but there are named color varieties! all domestic turkeys are bred from North American wild turkeys and are genetically the same (and can breed back to wild turkeys). I talked about broad breasted turkeys in that previous ask, but the difference between broad breasted vs. heritage is not genetic but just a matter of selective breeding for different traits (like chard and beets!). like I mentioned in that post, I only raise heritage turkeys, which are longer lived and healthier overall.
I’m going to pull most photos here all from this website, which is like my bible: https://turkey-color-genetics.com/varieties-phenotypes/
as far as more common varieties go, I have bourbon buff (usually sold as bourbon red from hatcheries, but they’re not! Reds are much more… red!) , royal palm, and bronze (your “wild type” coloring).
My more unique varieties (these are my photos) are chocolate (I don’t have a good adult pic oops), calico, sweetgrass, what I thought was blue red bronze but I’m now thinking is blue Cornish palm, blue sweetgrass, and tri color mottled black (their mottling comes out more with every molt, so he only has a sparse few non black feathers atm!)
I’m limited in the photos I can add, so I’m gonna reblog with some genes I’m hoping to bring in as well, but I hope you appreciated this lil demonstration of the beautiful variety of turkey colors 🦃 ✨
Reworked an old design . This’ll be available as a print soon! And once again, the Labrys empowers all women 💪
reposting gay words with op's permission bc i too don't even know how to say "i am a lesbian"
imagine being forced to do all of the courting in your relationships. now imagine having gendered expectations around doing that courting. now imagine having dysphoria that is triggered by those gendered expectations but still being put in a position where if you do not do the courting you will not have a dating life. text that trans gal first.
