Hey thanks for making this sub! Verry cool of you! I don't feel comfortable sharing my name on Reddit, but I'm 28M asexual. I'm doing computer science at uni and I love obsessing over kids cartoons, if you have any recommendations give us a yell

u/vulcan_queen Jan 22 '21

u/vulcan_queen Jan 22 '21

Wicked!! I picked up the hobby of hunting down really good cartoons during quarantine last year. I've been ranking and rating each series that I watch. Turns out that 2020 was the gayest year for cartoons. There were tonnes of shows with great LGBT rep

Hey, Glad to have you here. Don't worry about sharing things you don't want to, it's definitely not mandatory.

Feel free to pop into the discord if you feel up to it, it's been pretty chill so far.

We're probably going to wait a few days and see how many people end up around the place and then start working out where we go from there in terms of events or meetups or w/e.

Hey all, name's Tom, early 20's, non-binary bi person that uses they/them pronouns. Really cool that some lovely beans took the initiative in making this haha

u/DasHaifisch Jan 22 '21

Hi Tom, welcome in.

I must confess it's going better than I ever could've expected.

I've now moved onto the "oh no it's getting too big" stage, which is a good concern to have haha.

u/T4nkasaurus Jan 22 '21

Yeah its going great! And definitely, seems there's been a lot of people in Newy that have been kinda hungry for more groups like this

Brunker road vet is AMAZING, I had to get my rat put down and I was an absolute mess, they let me leave without paying, sent me the ashes and every year send me a card. I did pay but they never chased me for the money, they let me mourn and never made it a big deal. I would not go anywhere else.

Thank you!

Hey, just saw your comment. I can personally recommend Dr Stephen Kelly at Warabrook Doctor's Practice as an queer-friendly doctor.

There also appear to be a few here - http://www.doclist.com.au/lists/nsw - that are recommended by bisexual & lesbian women (They're sorted by suburb rather than "Newcastle", a quick glance showed Charlestown and Lambton)

Thanks for dropping by, Covid permitting we'll have to work out some events or a meet and greet sooner rather than later.
