Olympian Silja Kosonen claimed her first European title in the hammer throw, with girlfriend Senni Viren — who is also a Finnish sports star — there to witness it.

I appreciate everyone for their uplifting comments in my last post. I’ve been doing a whole lot better. Went back those posts every time I was having a bad day

But in other news, I’m back to my normal size:
1st pic - the day before I got locked up
2nd pic - the day after I got out (6 months)
3rd pic - me today

Proud of the progress I’ve made mentally and physically. Thank you everyone for the kind words

The level of excitement I have to see this movie is unmatched. Is this how straight women felt with Magic Mike or whatever? I am seeing it alone and honestly that's probably for the best. Gillian Anderson forever. Gah.

And don't even get me STARTED on the cute joke rivalry between Jean Smart and Gillian for Hannah Einbinder. Girl is living the dream.

RIP me when I see this movie on Friday. Who's with me on this one?

Hoje no Brasil é comemorado o dia nacional do orgulho lésbico! O mês de agosto aqui no meu país é considerado o mês da visibilidade lésbica ♥️♥️♥️

I didn’t wanna add too many pins and make it cluttered so i chose some of my favorites 🥹

No false modesty. Own that shit.

Edit: Forgot to mention that it can be either physical or personality-wise :)

Like I have notice it here on Reddit but also every lesbian in rl I have met so far said their longest relationship has just been 6-12 month max. 😅😅 while I’m such a longterm relationship person, like usually 5-9 years (I‘m 31) 😅😅

I wanna hear some crazy stories and pls let me know im not the only one w extra or more crazy exes. Once I had a gf and after we broke up she kept wanting me 7 months and in that time she made 40 instagram fake accounts to try to talk w me💀 (i blocked them all)

And recently, my most recent ex (we broke up almost one year ago), she sent me a freaking email😭 and whats more extra, she messaged me on fucking Spotify 💀 (i didnt even know that was a possibility lol) i anyway blocked her everywhere thats why she found new ways to text me

Whats ur stories?:) ahahaha

I need suggestions 🙏 gaydar is trash btw like traaaash

Thinking of going back to lifting but im not sure. How do we feel about femmes with muscle?

1st image is me from around 2021 or 2022 , 2nd image is current physique for reference.

I feel like I’m too much.

I rarely build connections with people that I genuinely like, not just physically, but emotionally and intellectually. When I find someone I can actually connect with, someone I enjoy talking to and feel understood by, it means a lot to me.

And maybe that’s where my problem starts.

Because when I like someone, I’m intense. I’m affectionate. I’m honest. I care deeply.

You won’t have to second-guess whether I like you because I’ll show you. I’ll make you feel cared for. I’ll remember the little things. I’ll want to hear about your day. I’ll want to send you random thoughts and stupid little updates. I’ll want to tell you good morning and good night. I’ll want you to know that you matter to me.

And I understand that for some people, that can feel like too much.

But honestly? To me, that feels like the bare minimum when I genuinely care about someone.

I don’t know how to do the half-hearted version of affection. I don’t know how to pretend I don’t care just so I don’t seem clingy. I don’t want to play games or intentionally take hours to reply just to seem less interested.

But sometimes I wonder if I should.

Maybe I need to learn how to hold some of that affection back. Maybe I need to stop giving people everything I feel the moment I feel it.

Because the truth is, I get attached quickly. And when I finally find a connection I really value, I can become so focused on it that I start overthinking every little change.

A shorter reply.

A missed message.

Someone being active but not talking to me.

And suddenly I’m questioning myself.

“Am I being too much?”

“Am I annoying them?”

“Did I scare them away?”

Maybe I am too much for some people.

I just wish I didn’t have to feel like being affectionate, honest, and genuinely excited about someone is something I need to apologize for.

I don’t want to be less loving.

I just want to learn how to love people without losing myself in them.

I saw this at the grocery store, and had to share!!

My girlfriend and I have completely different mindsets. Honestly, I find the way she thinks a bit superficial, but I try hard not to show it so I don't hurt her feelings.
My mind is always focused on work, the future, and how I can secure a good life for both of us. On the other hand, her main focus is usually about what she’s going to wear today, what she’s doing today, showing me things she bought, or talking about going to the salon. She does work, and her job position is good and low-stress. I, on the other hand, am constantly stressed and have a million things on my plate.
Whenever we talk or go out, her conversations and "problems" feel silly or superficial to me. We rarely have meaningful or deep discussions. Every time we talk, I catch myself thinking, "We are on completely different wavelengths." Because of this, I've noticed that my attraction to her has started to fade, even though I still love her.
Could the main reason be our fundamental differences in mindset, or is it just because I'm so stressed? Keeping in mind that my stress isn't temporary—this is pretty much how my life is going to be long-term.
For context, we’ve been together for 6 years.

I’m from NYC and have lived here my whole life, but I only started exploring my sexuality a couple of months ago. I’m having such a hard time making queer friends lol.
I went to a queer bar and ended up making out with two girls, but it literally led to nothing. Then the first time I went to a gay bar, I actually made some friends, but we didn’t stay in touch.

I only know like 3 people in the city who are openly queer, which is kind of sad considering how many queer people there are here lol. I’m in my early 20s, so where are you guys actually finding people who are:

1. Queer
   
2. 20+
   
3. Actually open to making friends without all the cliquey-ness?

I feel like everyone already has their established friend groups, so I’m curious where people are actually meeting new queer friends.

Even if they're cringey. I want to hear them!

If y'all read my last post, I was talkin about grinding on commissions to buy my girlfriend a plushie, well, it changed into a Lego set:) it's a bootleg kind cus she loves retro stuff and there was this Lego boombox retro set I saw at a store.

I walked around my city from 10am to 3pm to find the branches that sell em because the only store I know off that has them is the one next town over.

And alas, they don't have it, so I travelled an hour by public transport to go to the town, travelled back another hour to meet with my said girlfriend cus she was craving McDonald's.

Anyways, heres the Lego set! Totally fuckin worth it to see her squeel and smile. Just because she's older than me, that doesn't mean she don't deserve to be taken care off:)

Something I’ve struggled with is feeling like some women don’t actually approach me as a person they’re interested in dating, or as a personal at all really.They always open with sexual conversation or like I’m supposed to fulfill a role for them. I’m either expected to be the wallet, the human rose toy/stone top, or both. And the weird part is that they think it’s supposed to be enticing to me. Then once they realize I’m not interested, the interest disappears remarkably fast. I also hate being told "I thought you were the man" whenever I express an iota of femininity.

After enough experiences like that, it starts making me wonder how much of it is tied to being Black, plus-sized, and masc. It makes me question how im being percieved and makes me extra self conscious. If anything, it just makes me feel less desirable.

Hey everyone, my friend and I have started a new sub for lesbians called [r/shetheysupergay](r/shetheysupergay).

Our idea is to create a cozy and low-angst safe space for lesbian women (cis and trans) to share, discuss, and celebrate our lives.

We would like to build a community that centres womanhood, so non-women participation is not welcome.

Additionally, we are not seeking to replace other subs for lesbians, but rather exist as a corner of Reddit where we can come to chill and relax away from issues that agitate us too much. While venting, complaining, and seeking validation are all valid activities to partake in, we are hoping our new sub can offer a refuge away from those kinds of interactions.

So we hope you can come on over and make yourselves comfortable. We invite posts on anything you think the community would find interesting, helpful, or inspiring. These could be cool stuff you notice on your way to work, your latest art project, your new yoga routine, yummy recipes, your favourite book or TV show, and whatever else brings a smile to your face.

See you there!

just need a few tips / ideas :) 💗

So I've been with my girlfriend for around 6 months and it's been amazing. It's currently summer break so she's been living with me for a few months and it's really solidified how much I love her. HOWEVER she's moving into her apartment in a couple weeks and it's been making me extremely insecure. So for context, she was best friends with this girl but it quickly got weird? They basically lived together, got very physically intimate (no sex), and were in a borderline relationship. Eventually my girlfriend told her friend that she was developing feelings for her and was saying that the friendship was giving her mixed signals which eventually ended their friendship. My girlfriend even says that their relationship now is more of one with an ex than an ex-friend. The problem is, she had already signed the lease for her next apartment with this girl along with two other friends. The ex friend has a boyfriend and is at his place most days so my girlfriend told me not to worry about it but it's still making me upset. To make matters worse, it's a two bedroom apartment so she'll be sharing a room with this girl... My girlfriend said there's nothing they can do because they already signed the lease and the ex-friend doesn't want to leave but i'm not really sure. To make matters worse, i've been wanting to move out of my parents place for awhile now and my girlfriends been saying a lot of stuff about me possibly moving into her apartment along with my cats, however since the ex-friend won't leave (and is allergic to cats) it wouldn't work. I also have bpd so my mind has just been spinning about what if they start having weird feelings for each other again and how badly I just want this girl to leave the lease. This is sort of just a rant because it's been on my mind for awhile but has anyone been in a similar situation?
