lesbian rollercoaster ride 🎟️ 🎢
financially supporting a partner and her art career, a pandemic rollercoaster ride, a HOT BARISTA, problems orgasming during partnered sex. plus, beautiful fall imagery.
Happy Labor Day, homos. After months of boiling summer heat, there’s finally a chill in the air. I stepped on a crunchy leaf this morning and it put me in a mood. I love fall. It’s a season of change and transformation. In honor of these seasonal vibes, this newsletter is full of stunning autumn landscapes and questions from queer people who are reaching for change. Here’s the docket:
My partner and I are both artists. I work a full-time day job to support us and I’m starting to feel jealous when my partner tells me about her successes, like getting interviewed by a magazine or receiving grants to pursue her art.
My partner of 9 years and I have been on a rollercoaster during the pandemic - who hasn’t, right? She is super vigilant about Covid (understandably) and sometimes it feels like she wants to run a risk analysis/lessons learned for future reference about even the most trivial things in our daily lives, and it exhausts me. I am more passive/avoidant and when I muster the energy to bring up something that bothers me - generally it’s that her aggressive driving makes me feel unsafe - she shuts me down.
I have a big crush on a barista with a septum piercing. I want to ask her out, but I don’t know how to so without crossing a boundary while she’s at work.
I can’t orgasm during partnered sex and I’m not sure if this is something I need to disclose to new partners or not.
Thank you so much for subscribing. You are the empty Toys-R-Us that houses my Spirit Halloween superstore. If you have a question you’d like me to answer, send it to me here.
