As a late-blooming lesbian, I remember my first lesbian date like it was yesterday (because it was just last year). I drank all the table water, struggled to keep eye contact, and panicked over who would pay. But despite the nerves, the date lasted four interesting hours, and I walked away with a new queer…
When I first stumbled upon TikTok in 2020, I had no idea what to expect. But as I scrolled, something caught me off guard—diverse stories, queer culture, education, and representation. It turns out TikTok wasn’t just a playground for funny trends; it was also a transformative stage for voices and stories that often went unheard…
Ah, Halloween. For many of us queer women, it has always been more than just a night of playing dress-up. It’s a rare moment in time when we can let our imaginations and identities run wild. In a world that often doesn’t make space for outliers, Halloween is when we can express what we like,…
When the pandemic’s lockdown drove us to TikTok, many of us discovered something far more profound than just dance trends. We found communities that traditional media had long ignored—spaces that had rarely received airtime or representation. From talented BIPOC creators to queer women finally gaining the visibility they deserve, TikTok became a platform where we…
We’ve all heard it—or maybe even lived it. You meet an amazing girl, sparks fly, and before you know it, you’re euphorically yearning to merge lives, swap keys, and possibly move in together.

In queer culture, there’s a well-worn joke about lesbian relationships: they move at the speed of light. First dates seamlessly morph into cohabitation, and before you know it, a U-Haul is parked in the driveway. This phenomenon, often humorously referred to as “lesbian time,” suggests that what might take months in a heterosexual relationship could…

As the number of these spaces dwindles, their importance has only grown, making the question of who is welcome within their walls more pertinent than ever. Are straight men allowed in…
Ever since the pandemic, the 2020s have given birth to a lesbian renaissance, and so far, this year has been peak! From sapphic songs dominating music charts to WLW making waves in mainstream media, queer women are finally getting the spotlight, celebration, and revolution we deserve. Let’s dive into why 2024 is being hyped up…
For most of us, being a part of the queer community feels like living in a completely different world with its own culture and language. Not to mention each subgroup of the LGBTQIA+ community can have its subcultures and expressions. Within the lesbian community alone, there are words for types of lesbians, relationships, inside jokes,…
