What are some differences (and similarities) you’ve noticed between Australian queers and American queers?
Speaking specifically about the American & Australian queers that I’ve befriended, the biggest difference is that the Americans are far more open to discussing their feelings. Also they seem to take a greater interest in movies, tv, books, music etc that’ve been created by and/or for queers, like Tegan & Sara or the L Word.
One of the similarities is that neither my Australian or American queer friends are regulars on the queer bar scene. I don’t think that means anything though.
I’m a complete photoshop newbie (make that photoshopically challenged), I need to get to grips with it asap for (part of) my new job, yet I can’t even work out how to zoom in on an image and save it, without distorting it. Gah, I’m pathetic. The help me
Try the crop tool silly.
The only way you’re going to learn anything is by doing it (that’s what she said). Ready go:

How do you console the dumped? I tell my friend stories and hopes it distracts her, and when she inevitably cries anyway I am at a loss. I keep saying I’m sorry, and it’ll be okay. How do I do this better?
if you find out, let me know, because i think i have about 100 formspring questions from girls just like your friend and i’m not sure what to say anymore sometimes too.
i think time is important. distraction. some helpful maxims. reminding her that she has friends who love her who will be there. letting her cry and then having dinner afterwards and seeing a movie even if she cries then too. eventually someone gets all cried out. i think i wrote a post about this once. ah yes.

a band i should definitely be listening to right now is?
Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of ‘Two Door Cinema Club’. Check 'em out: twodoorcinemaclub.com
You assumed the girl was with a man purely for superficial reasons. You assumed the girl did not practice non-monogamy by calling her attempt to kiss her nonsense. I think people deserve more respect. What if the bi girl comes to you for advice? What then
I’ve only dated bisexual girls. I have no problem with them. I have to go on only what the questioner writes in like 200-or-something characters.
If the girl she was talking about is practicing non-monogamy then I’m wondering why the word used to describe her partner was “boyfriend”.
I mean, clearly the questioner is confused and a little hurt so somethings up?
That’s really all I have to say about that. Not to mention that I’ve been in this exact/a similar situation like five times. Okay maybe twice, but still just saying.
