advice for an inexperienced lesbian: how to casually hookup?

hi all!

i identify as a lesbian, & discovered this in 6th grade. i've had my share of crushes and unhealthily intimate friendships, but i have never dated or had sex with another person. i am currently starting my freshman year of college and have been meeting all kinds of people and i am genuinely looking to actually explore my lesbian identity ... hookup culture is pretty standard for a lot of college life, you hear about it a LOT - but how in the hell do you hookup as a woman with another woman?

for example, heterosexual people can easily fuck on a whim w/ strategically placed box of condoms with no regard for prep like gay men, or extra equipment like us ... of course, i'm aware that you definitely don't need to have a strap or toys to have a great time having sex with another woman (or anyone for that matter), but i am quite interested in exploring strap-ons & topping.

what i'm trying to say is where do i even begin to prepare for safe sex & sex in general with a girl? like, do i have a drawer of dental dams like heteros do w/ condoms? do i buy a strap and have it in my dresser for situations like so? LMAO help 😗

these two are the most obvious male & female, right?

while i'm at it, they're also african? these two might be the best example of sexual dimorphism i've seen in a hot min

duck nipping at me?

hey guys, it's been a year since i got my ducks and they're always a bit shy near me (like i can't just walk up and pick them up) but they like to follow me and hang around if i'm just sitting there. today i was out sitting with them for longer and one of my girls got near me and her head was like trembling and then she rushed up and nipped me on the leg. she did this multiple times as i sat there and lurked near me. it didn't feel like she was using all of her force to bite so i can't really tell if this is aggression or what. here's a video i managed to get

is anyone here a student with ferrets at home?

hey guys, i'm starting college in a few months at a university an hour away from my home. i currently have 3 ferrets and i've been worrying myself to nausea every time i think about going to school without them. i was able to be accepted a program and will be rooming with 3 other girls in an apartment, or else i would consider smuggling them, but i just don't know how my roomies would feel about that.

i just want to see if maybe anyone is (or was) a student with ferrets they left at home that has advice for me 😖 i tried to make them an area on one side of my room (my room is kind of two rooms, i live in the attic) but i just wasn't satisfied with it and tore it down. photos welcome (please) of your current setups if possible. i might try and section the other side of my room again with the help of my dad..? 🙁

updated collection (started 7.3.25)

some bought from jellycat's website or in a stockist's store, some bought secondhand online and thrifted.

the shelving situation really doesn't show them off the way i want, but i live in the attic essentially (low vaulted ceiling) so i can't have any high shelves 🥲 trying to decide if i should bring them all to college with me or not, i meannn i did get a campus apartment...

sacha, huge lav, & trixiwoo unfortunately cannot fit anywhere on my shelves 😆 huge dex, heart, & bashful b&w kitten are my bedtime buddies

bandana tattoos; gang related?

hi! i've been thinking long and hard about a tattoo to sort of nod to my mom, and have always been thinking of a "rosie the riveter" polka dot bandana tattoo around my bicep as she is a history teacher and dressed as her for halloween. though, bandanas aren't always well received. it wont be my first tattoo, but i want to seek some advice from people deeper into the tattoo circle who may know more about prison/crime associated tattoos than i, and see if it at all could be seen as gang related before i become attached to the idea? thanks!

*added photos for reference

tldr: could a polka dot red bandana around bicep be viewed by most as crime/gang associated?

my toe is darkening but i haven't dropped anything on it

relevant details: started about 6/7 weeks ago, and darkening over time

i haven't dropped anything on it, stubbed it, wore constricting shoes, or anything of the sort ☹️ can hematomas under the nail just spontaneously occur? or is this shit fungal?

hey all! i'm a brand new goose owner to two lovely goslings courtesy of my local farm store, and i love spending time with them when i get home after class to socialize them. one of them, however, is clearly a delinquent.

she constantly runs up to my face when i lay down with the two of them and starts pulling and chewing on my eyelids, lip, nostrils, and her favorite - my hair. it fucking hurts!

pictured is a video of this demon in action. no matter how many times i gently redirect this chick away from my face or cup my hands around her to get her to lay down, she runs back to my face and mauls it. pls help!!!

why is she doing this, will she grow out of it, and how do i discourage it?
