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…
- 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.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Going to visit a new acquaintance on her farm tomorrow and there will be donkeys I think - I'll brave the awful heat to scratch some long fluffy ears and I'm curious to get to know a new person. There's a lake nearby and I might go for a swim. Someone was talking about a pool party happening later this week - I'm a bit panicked about the idea but apparently it's supposed to be really small and quiet and only women I know.
It all fits nicely into my prepping for "more shit hitting the fan" community activities - networking with women and hopefully finding some land I can take care of. This is all new and exciting!
I'll also be lazily trying to find more money making work, but not too worried about it this week.
I demand donkey photos! I love animals. Your prepping is a great idea, how are you doing it?
@klemptor@startrek.website @LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone What a day! Not a single donkey pic was taken today - there's one very old donkey and I didn't meet him (yet). I did meet a very nice person who I immediately got along with. I had no idea she was actually looking for someone to share the place, and how beautiful the place is! A running stream where I can mount my ram pumps, trees with lots of fruit to harvest and process, and plenty of space to have my own piece of soil to care for - looks like a place I would like to call home and where my skills are needed and welcome. Very excited now and still recovering from the surprise. Car had to get towed on the way back (again) after losing all its water, but who cares - most probably it's a quick fix and nothing serious got damaged. I'll return there next week, to hopefully meet the donkey and agree to a longer stay for next month to see if we get along, wish me luck!
So one part of the prepping is having a place to put some good work in and get some good food out. There's no shortage of farms looking for volunteers around here, but not all of them are well run and have good conditions, so this is a very lucky find. The other part of prepping is the community networking, bringing people together who can support each other - so finding a place not far from the community I already know and have been connecting with is even more lucky. Goddess be blessed, it was so much more than I expected to have done by Tuesday. Wish me luck for this to work out!
That sounds pretty much perfect! You click with the person which us a BIG part of it. The place is beautiful with it's own stream, fruit, and soil. The soil gives you options for the future so you could have your own project with it. It's a really lucky find. The location sounds great as well it's near the community you're building, which is a big win. Really excited for you let us know how it goes!
Wow! Despite no donkey pics, it sounds like this was a really fantastic visit for you. I'm wishing you all the luck!! 🤍
This all sounds amazing. I agree you must share donkey pics!
