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. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
  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.

A cruise. Unbelievable, but back in the early 70s a cheap way to travel Sydney to Auckland was by ship. It was the last leg of a Pacific cruise and spare cabins were cheap. Three days. The novelty wore off pretty quickly and then we were stuck in a boring floating hotel chugging across the Tasman.

Liquorice. Everyone in my family loves this stuff but for me? Bleh!!

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 1 points 45 minutes ago

I like it but I'd never buy it myself, just eat it if it was offered. It's a very unusual taste

[–] ZDL@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 hours ago

Send me yours.

I mean if it's the real stuff, not the black plastic stuff sold as "Twizzlers" or the like.

this reminds me, I once tried ranch dressing flavored soda, and it was awful - I couldn't finish it, it tasted sour in a bad way.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 3 points 6 hours ago

That sounds so awful.

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 2 points 10 hours ago

I'm both intrigued and repulsed

Durian is incredible! Second or third best fruit in my view!

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 3 points 8 hours ago

I tried some for the first time recently and thought it was surprisingly mild. Didn't care for it, though.

Haha I feel this is a love-it-or-hate-it scenario.

I’m on the “love it” train. Dehydrated durian is so addictive!

[–] foxglove@lazysoci.al 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

the durian I tried was frozen I think, I tend to be pretty open-minded so I'll have to try dehydrated durian sometime (just in case) 😁

[–] ZDL@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 hours ago

Don't try frozen or dehydrated. Try fresh.

I've been to theme parks twice in my life. I hated it both times. Never again.

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 1 points 16 hours ago

I loooovveeee disney but wouldn't go to another

I once in my early 20s had an office bitch going for me in passive aggressive ways. I tried to play her at her own game in a really minor way and did not succeed. Learned then: never get in a bitch off with a total bitch.

Also going to Berlin on holiday. Lovely city, but endless museums and history. Just not my cup of tea, I was bored. Made me realise to not go on holiday somewhere museum heavy.

My abiding memory of Berlin was visiting a park where everyone was naked. Old people, young people, families, just doing normal park things - lying around in the sun, having picnics, playing. Didn't visit any museums.

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 1 points 10 minutes ago

Now that I definitely didn't see

[–] ZDL@ttrpg.network 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Endless museums and history is my jam! Berlin, Florence, Rome, Pisa, Heidelberg, Frankfurt, Paris, Verdun, Zurich, Strasbourg, Xiamen, Jiujiang, Nanchang, Wuhan (duh!), Shaolin, Anhua, Seoul, ... The list goes on and on and for me it's all the history and museums.

And food, of course.

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You would LOVE Berlin mate you should totes go.

[–] ZDL@ttrpg.network 4 points 8 hours ago

I was there as a high school trip. Before the wall fell. ;)
