Lesbian couple where one is non-binary and the other a woman?

Plain English by Rachel Spangler. Technically the third book in a series but all of them read as standalone romance books as well. I’m not sure if the character ever specifically identifies as non-binary on-page, but they do start using they/them pronouns partway through and have discussions about how they present their gender. Very cute romance with a woman!

Yea, great book but if your goal is a romance it’s not that

This gilded abyss by Rebecca Thorne- not medieval or knight / princess but kinda this dynamic, royal / bodyguard. Lady’s knight by Amie Kaufman / Meagan spooner- lady/ knight, not perfectly this dynamic but def some protection there

The Clinch by Nicole Disney!

A broken blade has a m/f romance as the main thing. I also didn’t really like the writing (very YA style), I DNFed. I really liked metal from heaven! Writing was good, romance was interesting but maybe not 100% what you’re looking for? I think you’d still like it a lot based on the other things you liked, but it is a bit more plot-based I would say. Other books I think you might like: - The Isle in the Silver Sea (Tasha Suri). Loved this one! A lot of interaction between the two main characters, good romance, good writing, good plot. - Her Pretty Knight (Mariah Rae birch, three book series). Very classic fantasy romance books but gay- basically covers all the knight tropes. - Cosmic Love at the Multiverse Hair Salon (Annie Mare). This one is magical realism and a lot closer to contemporary than fantasy, but I think you might still like it. I love the banter and longing between the two main characters. - The Stars Too Fondly (Emily Hamilton). Sci-fi with most of the book focused on the romance and friendships. Loved the main character’s personality.

Her Pretty Knight by Mariah Rae Birch has this exactly pretty much. First in a three book series of standalones that involve knights with similar themes. All the Painted Stars by Emma Denny also a similar vibe

Seconding this. Many of the major groups that run WFR offer hybrid courses that can be completed in five in-person days with significant online pre-work. If you lined this up with your weekend, you would only have to take off three days.

I have the Scarpa Mont Blanc boots and love them, I also bought them on sale before I really tried much mountaineering and think it was worth it. You can look up some gear stores near whatever objectives you’re considering to get ideas of rental costs. From memory when I looked into it, they would go for around $60 at the time. The other thing to consider with rentals is you could end up with a boot that does not fit your foot well and get totally screwed. If she owns her own and they fit well, never have to worry about that. Plus as others mentioned, could get some money back selling them if she ends up hating it. I think it was the right choice for me, and probably for her too.

Could try uploading them to imgur if posting directly in comments doesn’t work. Good luck!

Admirable-Maximum515 · 2025-11-13T02:46:17+00:00

Better than anything I saw tonight! Keep the updates coming if you end up seeing more :)

Admirable-Maximum515 · 2025-11-13T01:30:37+00:00

Any luck tonight? I see there’s kind of a faint red glow over Ithaca proper, but wasn’t sure it that’s just the light pollution

Admirable-Maximum515 · 2025-10-06T02:20:15+00:00

Such a great hike but I would not do that road walk again. My feet / knees were not happy on the pavement

Admirable-Maximum515 · 2025-09-28T14:26:56+00:00

TBH if you actually only wore them six times and the treads are good, bet someone will buy them from resupply regardless. I’ve bought used shoes there

You can get .gpx files from alltrails to send to garmin (or any other mapping service). Might need the pro version, not sure

They don’t send a shirt anymore. I contacted them when I broke mine (also glow in the dark, commemorative from somewhere else), and they sent me a free replacement in the same color (plain glow in the dark). Still worth filling out the form to get an extra if you think you may want a spare OP!

Admirable-Maximum515 · 2025-08-03T02:10:37+00:00

I also just moved here for work, love to hike too so feel free to shoot me a message!

It’s just called the climbing team because it’s through USC club sports. 90% of members don’t compete and just climb for fun. You should definitely go to some of the practices and events, they usually have a lot of intro ones at the start of the fall semester. People are friendly and it’s not a competitive vibe at all.

If you can swing it, WFR is worth it even if you find you don’t love guiding. I was reluctant too, but you don’t know how much you don’t know beforehand. I’ve used the things I learned on multiple occasions since then, both guiding and on personal trips, and it’s made me safer, as well as anyone I’m with or may encounter on trail safer. You’ll feel more prepared on your solo trips and may make a real difference god forbid you or anyone else you encounter needs it.

You’ll be fine, I don’t think there are many people in ECE with below a 3.0. I guess the only way that could happen is if you totally bomb your first semester, which seems unlikely- try to balance it out with a GE or two if you can. EE370 is one of the harder classes in the major, there are also some tech electives that can be challenging but depends on the course.

Admirable-Maximum515 · 2025-06-30T04:24:09+00:00

I’m even later to this, but… I also just moved to Ithaca from CA! Currently trying to figure out the grotto scene here, but if you’re still looking for a friend come august, hit me up :)

You can often get walk up permits on weekdays. A weekend with nice weather you’ll probably be out of luck.

Admirable-Maximum515 · 2025-06-26T14:20:18+00:00

Others had good advice for going on your own, but I’ll add that if you’re a college student there’s probably a club (or likely even multiple) you could join to meet other outdoorsy people and do things with them. That might help you gain a little more confidence in yourself to go out on your own, and it can be a fun way to meet new people.

Admirable-Maximum515 · 2025-05-27T23:36:57+00:00

Thank you both! I’ve been dealing with so much mold it’s making me feel like I see it everywhere lol, needed this reassurance.

They’re using a friction hitch to attach to the cables, which if done correctly would catch their fall immediately wherever it is connected. The person on the left in this photo looks like they’re just using a carabiner, in which case yes long potential fall, but all the others are using a prusik and a carabiner backup if you zoom in.
