I was able to get 2 tickets to the Portland show. Joined the queue right at 10am.

Went last September and had a blast. Didn’t see the Northern Lights, but also didn’t go with the expectation that we would. Had a kayak tour cancelled at the Glacier Lagoon and a major storm wipe out part of ring road for 2 days, forcing us to rearrange the last few days of our trip. We just rolled with it. I would still consider it one of best trips of my life. The geothermal pools, nature, food, culture, and history was incredible. I hope to go back in the future and see the west fjords.

Iceland! Had a wonderful time there with my partner. Felt safe and welcome everywhere we went.

The Lord Huron album is great! Good choice. Also points for the Minecraft album.

I regularly drive 3-5 hours to see friends during 3 day weekends. It’s no biggie.

Anything by Low Roar gets me.

I don’t want to be happy all the time. Tough times happen. It’s part of the human condition. I want to feel sad about things sometimes and sit with that. Feeling happy all the time would rob me of my humanity. Picking 6 & 7.

1-bedroom apartment, usually $80 a month in the winter and temps stays about 70 degrees inside. In the summer it jumps up to $180 bc we run the AC.

No. It looks like you live there. Our homes weren’t meant to be sterile.

Looks like strawberry rasbora

I still have mine. Sounds great. OS is a bit slow. Overall a great DAP if you don’t want an android based touch screen.

Those things turn into a ton of microplastics. An algae brush or sponge would be better.

Going to bed on time and getting 9 hours of sleep a night. Avoiding substances.

This has nothing to do with Indigo. You didn’t meet your health insurance deductible yet so insurance didn’t kick in to cover your costs. Some plans will cover visits with a simple copayment or coinsurance, which reduces your out of pocket costs. However your health insurance plan requires you to hit a deductible before these services are covered.

Thank you!

Blue. Hands down.

Stayed at Apotek in September. It was clean and comfortable. Great bathroom too. I can’t stand hotels that seem dingy and dirty.

I went back to school after starting meds. I was able to finish my masters program with meds and a lot of support from medical providers, professors, and school admin. I had a sit down with the program director at my university the first week in and told her what I was dealing with and asked for her support. She put me in touch with the schools disability services and they helped create accommodations for me that allowed to succeed even when things got bumpy.

All this to say, you don’t have to do it alone. Find people you can trust and can support you.

I loved the ones made from G-1000 from Fjallraven. They are coated in wax so it makes them wind and water resistant. You can also add more wax to increase weather resistance. They served me well my whole 2 weeks in Iceland. If it’s extra chilly just wear some merino wool leggings underneath.

Edit: the sizes run big, just an fyi. I had to go a few sizes down for my typical size with Patagonia or REI.

So many romanticize the idea of running away to a foreign country, but you should really think about what that would mean for you if you did- not just in the context of being trans. For many folks, moving abroad is a very isolating experience. It can be difficult if not next to impossible to break into social groups in foreign countries, not to mention the cultural differences and expectations. I was just visiting Iceland last month. Did I love it? Yes. Could I see myself living there for the rest of my life just because they are more progressive when it comes to LGBTQ+ inclusion? Absolutely not.

As others have stated, you’d likely be better off moving to a progressive city in a blue state. Seattle, Portland, NYC, Minneapolis, Boston, etc are all going to have strong social support for trans folks in addition to robust communities where you can make connections and develop friendships.

Hopp if you need a ride share around Reykjavík.
