Hi, I'm 26, fem, and live in a big city with a reputable poc queer population. I've only dated one person (years ago in grade school), but am open to actually start dating. I haven't had luck meeting anyone in person, possibly because I look straight. I've heard a mix of horror stories and success stories with the HER app. With the current state of the HER app, do you think it's worth giving it a shot (with premium) to try to meet other fems? Or is the app mainly just bots and cis-men now and is not worth any effort? I wanted to try Hinge first, but I don't like their new rule that allows them to store biometric data during account setup for whatever purposes as they see fit.

I've often heard that anime conventions are full of straight women, especially straight white women. I'm a black fem (straight passing) who loves anime/Japanese culture/western animation/gaming. I've been to a few anime conventions so far. I'm wondering about the chances of meeting my future wife at a convention.

I'm curious, do any of you other queer women of color also go to anime conventions? If so, are you a fem, masc, stem, nonlabel? Do you have any stories about meeting someone (platonic or romantic) at an anime convention?

Hi everyone. I’ve been thinking about trying out VegeDog again for my dog. I used to use it for her a few years ago, and I see on their website that they have a new formula. Has anyone fed their dogs VegeDog and have seen any benefit from it, or at least no negative from it?

I went to my first sapphic event today. Though, less than 10 people showed up. I know I’ll have to keep going to events to meet people, probably weekend events instead of weekday events.

How/where did you meet the sapphic women you know?

I have a crush (finally after non having one for 4 years) on a masc woman where I volunteer. She's so cute, kind, friendly, and calm. She smiles a lot, says hi when she sees me across the hall, very welcoming, invites me to ask her any questions, etc. I get so nervous around and literally cannot smile 😭. Then I feel my face blushing, it's so embarrassing. She probably thinks I hate her 😔. I do try to ask her questions/help whenever I can think of something, and sincerely thank her when she does something for me. Though, at the back of my head, I try so hard to hide the fact that I like her. Ughhh

I've (26F, fem presenting) started volunteering recently and am developing a crush on one of the full time employees. I try to hide it the best I can since I don't want her to feel uncomfortable at her workplace. I'm not sure if she's interested, though she is masc presenting, remembers my name, smiles a lot when we chat, often looks at my lips, and asks me questions. I havent seen her enough to know if she treats everyone this way.

If there's a woman volunteering where you work, how would you feel if she pursued you? Would you want her not to? If you won't mind a woman pursuing you at work, is there anything you'd want her to do differently because you're at work (such as appear more discrete)?
