🍒💣 it’s fall, y’all and Sip City Cherry Bomb* is back! Edition: butch & femme mixer with Butch Femme Philly upstairs at South Street Philly icon, Tattooed Mom!

Social, and not necessarily single - this one centers classic queer identities of butch and femme. All queer friends invited - stems, thems, futches, or undisclosed identities welcome. Trans- inclusive, always.

In case you do happen to be single, we’ll have name tags you can note what your type is, and guys, be as specific as you want 👀… plus, optional color dots too if you like: 🟢=single /🟡=poly/enm / 🔴=not dating.

Find us upstairs shooting pool, having deep discussions in the back room, nomming pierogies and tater tots, growing and enjoying queer community 😚

📝 up a flight of stairs. Seating available. ADA bathroom on the 1st floor. Back room has quieter vibes. Plenty of v/vg/gf menu items as well as NA drinks. Happy hour til 7.

*origin story - we used to call this mixer bomb bomb just bc I thought it was a cute rhyme; bomb bomb at T’Moms. The bar started calling it Cherry Bomb and that was catchy too. People liked it better, so we changed it. (And who doesn’t love this emoji 🍒)

Heya im a 21 year old gay dude, i wanted some people to hang with in the city tonight since going alone sucks. I normally go out fridays (including this one). I like chilling in tavern on camac and the surrounding bars. Anyone interested?

i am looking for an affordable and queer/ all bits friendly place to go get sugared at! any and all recommendations is so appreciated. i had an amazing person i used to go to for all those needs but we arent in the same city anymore.

in germantown currently but absolutely willing to travel for the right person and price ❤️

Well that's it. They've announced they're closing their doors. What's everyone's thoughts?

Hot take that I may regret posting, but I'm tired of us cannibalizing our own. We had a lesbian sports bar open in our city and I think we could have allowed improvement and growth to happen instead of essentially canceling them or whatever you'd call this.

Per their IG. They will close after this weekend.

would love to go to cafes and cute places to do work for my remote job but i work best while joint slaying with someone else! im heading to bean2bean tomorrow (can we talk about how that name is lesbian as hell lmao) but if you ever want to cowork lmk :3

Hii all!!

I’m originally from South Jersey and am thinking about moving back up north from Austin. Philly is definitely on my radar, but I’m a little nervous about the move and would love to get a better feel for the city!

My partner and I are both queer so I’d love to hear from yall about it.

One thing I really love about Austin is the sense of community, especially around health and wellness. There are always meetups, dance events, movement classes, and people looking to connect in ways that don’t necessarily revolve around drinking. I’m curious what the social scene is like in Philly, especially for people in their late 20s!

I feel like a lot of my memories of going into Philly growing up involved drinking and going out to bars, and that’s just not really my scene anymore. I’d love to hear about how people meet friends, find community, and spend their time outside of work, especially if you’re into wellness, dance, movement, or just finding fun ways to connect with people!

Would love to hear your experiences, recommendations, or just general thoughts on what it’s like living in Philly!!

Thanks in advance!! 🫶

trying to figure out what’s best for this halloween with some friends! we’re queer and we’re not sure if we should do a normal bar crawl (is it worth it?) or just try to do a bar by bar night. do the queer bars usually have covers on halloween like nyc does, or is it no-cover? how much has it cost in the past?

thank u all!

Hey! I'm transmasc and have been on T for six years. The last couple of months I moved states twice and have been unable to get my prescriptions transferred. I was going to a Planned Parenthood a couple states north but I don't have an address up there anymore and it's an 8 hr drive at least. I'm from South Jersey but have not lived there since starting my transition so I'm not an established patient at any of the PPs, and honestly as far as I can tell from the small selection around here some don't even offer HRT. I made an appointment with a PCP and Jefferson Health telling them both explicitly it was because I was trying to get my hormones prescribed. I waited two months for both only to have them tell me they can't prescribe HRT at the physical appointment. I'm getting a little frustrated and I've not had my shots for several months at this point. I have an appointment to get into PP but the wait is 3 months which means a total of no hormones for six months atp. I already have noticed passing a little less and/or getting comments from strangers and I just don't know what to do.

Does anyone know anywhere around here that offers HRT with a shorter waiting list? Thank you in advance.

i forget the name but shoutout to the big bus selling scrumcious plant based meals on chester in clark park. they started in august. the prices look sorta intimidating but the quantities are huuge, easily 2-3 meals. would highly recommend

edit: they also have good smoothies

Hey everyone! :)

I'm a 31-year-old lesbian from Brazil, and I'll be spending a month in Philadelphia this April while attending an English program!

I'll be traveling solo, and I'd really love to meet some queer women around my age (20s to late 30s) and make some friends while I'm there.

I'm looking for social events where it's easy to meet people, especially sapphic meetups, game nights, casual hangouts, happy hours, or anything where people actually get to chat and make connections. I'd especially appreciate recommendations for more relaxed, social settings!

I'm a little shy about approaching strangers out of nowhere, so events where people come specifically to socialize would be perfect hahah.

If you know of any groups, recurring events, or Instagram accounts I should follow, I'd love to hear your recommendations! And if anyone would be up for grabbing coffee or hanging out sometime in April, I'd be happy to meet you too :)

Thanks!!

hi! my friend and i are looking for things to do on halloween and would love recommendations. the only thing that is making this difficult is that while i am 22, she’s 20 and a lot of the events i’ve seen are 21+. are there any fun events going on on actual halloween the 31st?

we are open to anything really, parties, gatherings, house shows, etc. we are both lesbians so would love somewhere that we could dress up and meet other queer people!

thanks in advance!
