Flagging I’m gay as a femme

Hello lesbians! I was just wondering some things that you look for- if you’re butch4femme, that signals that they’re gay? I’m very, very femme, not technically out yet, but my family knows I like women and I’m not 21 yet so no gay bars unfortunately. I do prefer butch partners and I want them to be able to tell that I am femme and it’s okay to hit on me. Just wondering some more subtle things that I can put on a purse or maybe jewelry that can flag it? I’ve heard of the double Venus necklace but I have no idea where to get a good quality one that isn’t bulky or long. Anyways, any suggestions help!

Antibiotics

Hello! My cat was diagnosed last week after getting into a fight with our other cat. A tail pull injury, made it hard to use the bathroom and he was put on antibiotics. However we had to keep going back for more and more antibiotics because all the first vet gave him at the first hospital visit was a shot and he was just getting worse and worse. We ended up there three times in about a week and thankfully the two other vets were much, much better. I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with antibiotics? Needing more/long term antibiotics? He’s pretty old, 14-15 years old so that could also probably make it a bit harder on him recovery wise, also having a past tail injury. (Former inside outside cat, now ONLY indoors thank god.) EDIT: Forgot to explain further what was going on lol. About two ish weeks ago I noticed some sensitivity with my cats tail, didn’t really pay much mind to it since he was eating, walking, moving fine. But when it started to REALLY bother him we took him to the emergency vet. Found a bite on his tail that was 100% our other cat- she’s quite mean and they’re separated now. He was put on gabapentin and had an antibiotic shot. Noticing he was getting worse about three days after going to the vet we brought him back, and found out about the FIV. Got X-rays, blood work, more pain meds and more antibiotics. Then after about another three days he had straining in the bathroom so we brought him back AGAIN. Figured out he was pretty much empty poop wise, and was either straining because of diarrhea or constipation. So he was put on some dietary supplements to help his gut calm down which has worked WONDERS. Got more antibiotics and he’s been doing great. Eating more, less pain, less straining and much more lively in the face. He’s been doing great so far, haven’t been back since our last emergency visit on the 4th.

hello! this is a rant/vent and resource searching post, i just put other because i couldn’t select two flairs. my mom pulled me out of school when COVID hit, i was barely in sixth grade and she decided to “deschool” me. basically she trusted an 11-12 year old to seek for my own education and interests while being stuck inside and never checking up on me to see if i was actually doing any work. i haven’t done anything. my mental health went very bad and i basically shut down, and now i’m so far behind it’s not even funny. i should be graduating high school this year, going to college next year but i’m doing nothing. i’ve lost motivation to teach anything to myself, can’t afford to send myself to college even if i could go- i don’t have a GED yet which i feel like is my best bet but i don’t even know where to start on that. she won’t help me find resources, wont even sit down to look with me. she got me a book to study a few years ago but actually sitting down and trying to go through it is hard. i’m genuinely scared for my future and i need help so i don’t fuck it up even more.
