@scumsuck@blorbo.social "parallel parking neutrally" LOL I'm gonna remember that one. 🤣 👍 But yes, I'm happy I got your yuri QotH zine since you show women in such a variety of ways and that's unique! I feel like even in yuri spaces, you rarely see that many different women portrayed. I've seen enough skinny light skinned femme girls in high school by this point, let's see the full spectrum now! God knows when you spent even a little bit of time in IRL WLW spaces, you can see the whole gamut and it's beautiful to witness. On that note, if you (or anyone else reading this) could share your info regarding dee/tom couples or anything related, plz let me know. 🙏 I had not heard of those terms before, but when I tried to do some research online I could not find much. 😣
