Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Ugh. Not as creative as I should be. I have a chest that I'm working on that's still a pile of panel pieces, sitting on the workbench.

I've been writing some poetry and doodling. I am trying really hard to just let myself create "badly" instead of worrying whether or not I have enough skill to do something 💖

I knit! I have some pretty purple cotton yarn that I'm making a sundress with, and hopefully it will still be summer when I'm done with it!

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 22 hours ago

That's impressive! You're obviously good to have got to that level. How do you find knitting with cotton?

Me and Dandelion did a dead of night top secret move to blahaj! I've no techy ability at all so it was hard, but admin here were amazingly supportive. I was surprised it wasn't harder than it was! And we came over unscathed which was great

You did so great, and what terrible timing on my part to suddenly be absent 😅

You were still helping which really is action beyond the call of duty!

I write shitposts on the internet :)

Also I build things to keep deer away from my tomatoes

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Shitposts are great! What type do you do?

[–] hedge_lord@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Thinly veiled venting with conspiracies and a healthy sprinkling of my own insanity. A lot of diseases are caused by having too much blood and plants need iron to grow and blood has iron so really if we exsaguinate a bunch of people to make an ocean of blood that'd solve pestilence and famine and probably war too.

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Oh dear, people will probably believe them

[–] hedge_lord@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Believe it or not the blood ocean would solve that too!

(It is... a concern. A theory I have is that some people convey/detect sarcasm primarily through spoken tone while others convey/detect sarcasm primarily through ridiculousness of statements. I fall in with the latter grouping and find myself bamboozled by the former grouping, but I wonder if they are bamboozled by me in turn. I want to believe that no one could seriously think that a blood ocean is a good idea but then I look at the news and uhhhh...)

I got back into yarn crafts after a realllyyyy lonnnggg hiatus, working on a very fun purse.

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

That looks great! What colours are you making it in?

[–] MxRemy@piefed.social 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

The one in the pic there is mine, so those two hehe. Green and pink are such a lovely and underutilized combo, reminds me of watermelons and spring flowers and such

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I agree it's perfect for this time of year. How are you finding going back after a break?

[–] MxRemy@piefed.social 3 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

For this specific craft (Tunisian crochet), it's really nice to get back to, and not particularly hard to get back the muscle memory either. For tatting and nalbinding however I seem to have forgotten nearly everything lol!

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 21 hours ago

I'll bet! It'll come back soon though
