Hi! We are Colectiva Lésbica (Lesbian Collective), a radical feminist/lesbofeminist activist group from South America!
🌸 Who are we?
We are currently a group of four women, all lesbians, committed to building collectively with other women and to distancing ourselves as much as possible from heteropatriarchal culture. As far as we are aware, we are the only organization in the country specifically focused on lesbian feminists. We are based in Argentina.
🌸 Objectives
We aspire to become more than just an activist group. Our goal is to build a proper lesbofeminist society from scratch, rejecting the rules and ways of life created by and for men, and re-imagining what society could look like if it were built by women, for women (having our own culture, our own commemorative dates, our own cultural symbols, our own history, our own economic system, etc.).
We also seek to build a network of mutual support and care among lesbians, in order to fight the isolation and precarization we experience as lesbians.
🌸 Why the exclusive focus on lesbian feminists?
Not only have we seen and experienced this ourselves, but we have also spoken with both radical feminists and queer activists who have been active in political organizing since at least the 1990s. It is a fact that lesbians are always the least listened to, whose needs and problems are pushed to the background, while at the same time being the ones who do the most, who sacrifice the most, and who put their bodies on the line in the most difficult situations.
Because we learn from history and do not want to repeat it, we decided to create what is currently the only space where lesbians are the protagonists.
🌸 What do we do?
We organize different activities, usually aimed at other lesbian feminists, although we generally also welcome non-lesbian women who are interested in what we do. Most of our activities take place in person, but we occasionally organize online activities as well. Some of the things we do include:
-Movie discussions (we watch a movie and then discuss it, or do an activity related to it)
-Book clubs (we read books or short texts and discuss them together)
-Talk groups, which we call asambleas: open meetings where we choose certain topics, reflect on them, and try to come up with solutions, new ideas, and collective reflections
-Through these activities, we raise funds that we use either to organize more activities or to donate directly to lesbians who need support
🌸 We are not experts in what we do; our fuel is the desire to help other women and our love for lesbians.
Every experience helps us learn and grow.
🌸 Nice to meet you all~!

Versión en español! (adaptada de la versión en inglés, que fue escrita primero).
Holi~! Somos Colectiva Lésbica, un grupo activista feminista radical/lesbofeminista de América del Sur.
🌸 Quiénas somos?
Actualmente somos un grupo de cuatro mujeres, todas lesbianas, todas enfocadas en construir con otras y distanciarnos lo más posible de la cultura heteropatriarcal. Hasta donde sabemos, somos la única organización en el país enfocada específicamente en las lesbianas feministas. Vivimos en Argentina.
🌸 Objetivos
Aspiramos a convertirnos en algo más que un grupo activista. Queremos construir una verdadera sociedad lesbofeminista desde cero, rechazando las reglas y formas de vida creadas por y para los hombres, y reimaginando cómo sería una sociedad construida por mujeres y para las mujeres (con nuestra propia cultura, nuestras propias fechas conmemorativas, nuestros propios símbolos culturales, nuestra propia historia, nuestro propio sistema económico, etc.).
También buscamos formar una red de contención y apoyo entre lesbianas, para combatir el aislamiento y la precarización que sufrimos como lesbianas.
🌸 Por qué el enfoque exclusivo en lesbianas feministas?
No solo lo hemos visto y vivido en carne propia, sino que también hemos hablado con feministas radicales y activistas queer que participan en espacios de militancia al menos desde los años 90: es un hecho que las lesbianas somos siempre las menos escuchadas, cuyas necesidades y problemáticas quedan relegadas a un segundo plano, mientras que al mismo tiempo somos quienas más hacemos, quienas más sacrificamos y quienas ponemos el cuerpo en las situaciones más difíciles.
Porque aprendemos de la historia y no queremos repetirla, decidimos crear lo que hoy es el único espacio donde las lesbianas somos las protagonistas.
🌸 Qué hacemos?
Organizamos distintas actividades, generalmente orientadas a otras lesbianas feministas, aunque también solemos aceptar la participación de mujeres no lesbianas que estén interesadas en lo que hacemos. La mayoría de nuestras actividades son presenciales, pero ocasionalmente también realizamos actividades online. Algunas de las cosas que hacemos son:
-Cine-debates (vemos una película y luego la debatimos, o realizamos alguna actividad relacionada)
-Clubes de lectura (leemos libros o textos cortos y los discutimos en conjunto)
-Asambleas, conversatorios: encuentros abiertos donde elegimos ciertos temas, reflexionamos sobre ellos e intentamos construir soluciones, ideas nuevas y reflexiones colectivas
-A través de estas actividades, recaudamos fondos que utilizamos para organizar más actividades o para donar directamente a lesbianas que lo necesitan
🌸 No somos expertas en lo que hacemos: nuestro combustible es el deseo de ayudar a otras mujeres y el amor por las lesbianas.
Cada experiencia nos ayuda a aprender y a crecer.
I'm vegan for the animals, but every time I see news articles about climate change, I also remember how if you suggest even eating less animal products people freak out as if you'd suggested eating their own pets. And then I feel kinda...angry and disappointed. Even if you don't care about animals (and you should), the time to start cutting back is now.
To add to this...I say cutting back because I get that people often find the idea of veganism daunting. But we need to be making mass societal changes, so start however small you need, but start. Some ideas!:
"I'd go vegan but I'd miss bacon/cheese/regular chocolate" then do that. Eat cheese but skip the meat and eggs. Eat bacon but skip other types of meat. Eat mostly vegan but eat chocolate.
"I worry about protein" then experiment with vegan proteins to find some you enjoy. Swap chicken for seitan. Egg scramble can be tofu scramble. Pulses. Try it on a meatless Monday or something. (Also your average person does not need huge amounts of protein and it's in basically everything. Take a look at the stuff you already consume and add it up, you may be surprised.)
"It costs too much" listen look at the cost of meat then go look at the cost of beans, ok? In all seriousness unless you eat a lot of faux meats (which tbf some are pretty good) it probably won't be as bad as you think.
"Social gatherings are hard" don't eat vegan at social gatherings then, it's chill.
"I don't like fruit and vegetables" ok sorry unless you have a medical condition you may just need to work on this. Hide them in sauces or something. Try a variety. Idk. Fruit and veg is important.
sometimes i think about gay people who lived centuries ago who thought they were all alone who imagined a world where they could live openly as themselves who met in secret spoke in code defied everything and everyone just to exist and i’m like..i gotta sit down. whew i gotta sit down
If this little book should see the light after its 100 years of entombment, I would like its readers to know that the author was a lover of her own sex and devoted the best years of her life in striving for the political equality and social and moral elevation of women.
“The Great Geysers of California” by Laura De Force Gordon, 1879, unearthed from a 100-year-old time capsule in San Francisco, 1979.
“Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all our letters could be published in the future in a more enlightened time. Then all the world could see how in love we are.”
Spent by Alison Bechdel - features fictionalized Alison living alongside some of her Dykes to Watch Out For characters!
A reread of Lord of the Rings - so fucking beautiful, gets better with every reread
Pax, by Sara Pennypacker - middle-grade about a tamed fox and his boy who have been separated by a near-future war, how she did the animal POV really vibed for me as a vegan, almost made me cry or maybe did
The Puppets of Spelhorst, by Kate DiCamillo - masterful, full stop. A little novel for children and so poigant and particular
Golden Gate, by Richard Misrach - I really enjoy this photographer in general
Perfection, by Vincenzo Latronico - painfully and perfectly on-point novel about digital nomads, Instagram aesthetic, and emptiness
The Fox Wife, by Yangsze Choo - excellent non-human narrator and a slow but memorable and bittersweet tale with an interesting setting (northern China and Japan circa 1900)
Phoebe's Diary, by Phoebe Wahl - this is very hetero but oh-so faithful to growing up in the 2000s, and to teenage girl diaries
25. What reading goals do you have for next year?
I would like to read my wife's grandfather's memoir, and a book on ocean waves that I own but haven't gotten to yet.
I would like to reread The Hallmarked Man. I didn't like it particularly well but I want to see what's it like on a second reading.
I would like to keep up the pace, maybe not as many books as I read this year but in a similar range (100-110+).
I would like to "read" some more great photography books this year.

i feel so confused whenever there's discussion about women doing beauty regimes, dressing provocatively, getting plastic surgery, etc etc and it's always "are women doing this for men? are women doing this for themselves?" as if these are the only two options. at this point it feels like i'm being gaslit by the social commentary industrial complex about the concept of *society* not existing anymore. like? we are not honestly all pretending to be stupid together by acting like the only two options for why women might do something is either actively trying to get sexual/romatic attention from men and only that kind of attention and only from men as men not anything else with no kind of differentiating going on OR no reason whatsoever just radomly woke up with the burning desire to pay in money and pain to look a certain way *for herself* and no. nobody is ever going to explain what value *oneself* might get from this either. the only way of talking about this is to as a first step forget every single sociological, philosophical, and political model of explaining why anyone might do anything
