Dara (she/her)

Listening to Rent and I realized that I'm literally Maureen except for the whole cheating thing.... shit

Til late May and absolutely!

I was wondering why my head hurt.... I'm back in Indy packing

So happy that my girlfriend made a hook to hang my #Lemonwood Mini Minder so I can knit easier. She's so sweet to me #knitting

Zona, my girlfriend's dog, has been very sweet to me this visit. She's a bit feral as she lives on the streets in Phoenix for who knows how long. Now, she lives the pampered life while still trying to eat trash and fight other dogs #rescued #pamperedpooch #rescuedig

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

This is Shadow. He's Catrick Swayze's boyfriend and the best foster uncle ever. He is a fierce protector of Catrick from dogs and has beat up many who dare get too close to his man. He's a lover though, and would rather snuggle. #cats #tuxedocats

brown tabby cat in a cardboard box

This is Catrick Swayze. He was found in a car engine with severe burns on all 4 paws. He's recovered but had to have a medical rear declaw because of damage to the nail bed that was causing recurring infection. He's the best boy #cats #bestboyever

Hi friends from other apps (aka people who have known me irl for a while). I'm primarily using this for yarn/knitting/crochet things along with dealing with coming out later in life as a lesbian. I plan on moving to AZ in May. Rob & I are separating and on great terms. Things are wild right now

I found out that she told him today and per her, he's fine with everything as long as I'm happy. We'll see how it goes when I get back to IN for the move

Working on making more tiny jellyfish like this guy🧶🪼 #jellyfish #crochet #crocheter

Delays at the airport due to the snow storm means more knitting time. I hope that everyone stays safe out there! 🧶 #knitter #travel #lgbtqia+

I can't remember where I found it, but it is one of my fav mugs

Progress on a pair of socks I'm making for a good friend. He's a big Drm Who fan and the dyer made the yarn reminiscent of the TARDIS. #knitting #sockknitting #socks #knit #yarn

Thank you!

It is Ivy the Vibrant Octopus on Ravelry. It is a free pattern that is super easy. 🙂🧶

One of my favorite little crochet projects is this little guy. 🐙🧶 #crochet #amigurumi

I'm dealing with some neck and shoulder pain so here's an older project, a pinwheel baby blanket from roughly 6 years ago. The little one still uses it. 🧶 #knitting

I also made a small army of Quackens for my husband's cousin in early 2024/late 2023. Pattern is from Drewbies and so fun to make! 🧶🦆🐙 #crochet

My favorite crochet project of 2024 was this panda I made for my girlfriend. He's so adorable🧶🐼 #crochet #lgbtqia+

Knitting a pair of socks with yarn from BAH Yarn and counting down the days until I get to hold her again. 13 days and less than an hour until take off. #lgbtq #wlw #knitting

Are there any support groups out there for lesbians who come out later in life after living as hetero for 20+ years? This is hard to do on your own. I feel a bit lost and like I dont fit anywhere #lgbtqia #comingout #lateinlifecomingout

I was told at age 17 that if I was gay Id be disowned so I lived in the closet. I even got married twice to men. I knew my father wouldnt take things well however the hope was there for a moment. Their love is conditional

I came out to my mother about a month ago and told her about the move to be w/my girlfriend. She was pretty receptive and even said she would help me tell my father. She didn't & now says that I shouldn't tell him or anyone else. She said he would react badly. I dont know what to do #lgbtqia

Next visit countdown is at 29 days. I hate that I'm not able to be with her during the holidays, but will be next year onwards. We're already planning our own little traditions 🥰 #lgbtqia #ldr #longdistance

Long-distance is hard as hell. It is harder when you not only miss the love of your life, but the weather is so much better there. I cannot handle this frozen tundra when my love is 1500 miles away in the Sonoran Desert #longdistancerelationships #ldr

It can feel incredibly lonely when your girlfriend is 1,500 miles away. I am trying to keep busy with work and knitting to pass the time until I see her again. I head back to her in 5 days #wlw #lgbtqia #longdistance

This all really started 15ish yrs ago when I met a girl online. We had a brief but emotionally intense fling that ended with us staying in touch but I never really got over her. I knew if I saw her again in person I would want to try again. I knew this when she asked me to come visit last winter.

It isn't like I have been completely in the closet as I've always identified as pansexual or bisexual, but have always leaned towards dating men, which is safest here in the red Midwest, especially with family. Now, everything is out there in the bright light of day.
