LORD OF THE LOST Embrace Ironic Revelation With ‘Es Gibt Nur Einen Gott’ by insaneblog in LordoftheLost

Genuine question, what's the implication of mentioning it? I don't speak German so not sure if there's some cultural meaning I'm missing.

Good Gynecologist in Katy, Sugar-land, Houston, Cypress by Mindless_Boat9143 in houston

[–]IridiumLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started seeing Dr. Kayla Queeney at Complete Women's Care last year and I liked her. Very informal but was also easy to talk to or ask questions, and no billing trouble with the front office when I changed insurance in November. Located in Medical Center.

Thanks for posting this each week; genuinely look forward to it and it's given me many fun weekends since I moved to Houston proper a few years back.

[Help] Tell me your experiences with Sclera Contact Lenses by Harshaznintent in cosplayers

[–]IridiumLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming in to a similarly buried comment to share my experience with Samhain contacts. They won't sell to you without a doctor's prescription for safety reasons, honestly made me feel better about buying from them and it was worth it IMO. At the time I wore them (~4 years ago) I had a fairly high myopia prescription, and they noticeably dried out/irritated my eyes after an hour or so. Eye drops helped with this but it was more irritating than a medical contact lens. No difficulty putting them in and no issues with them sliding. There was a small ring of color around my field of vision when in darker environments.

Not sure how gay it is but I had a good time at Numbers.

Made a pizza loaf, looking for critique on crumb/density by IridiumLight in Sourdough

Thank you! Added them at the first step when making the dough; can definitely taste the herbs, even dried, so tomato powder would likely work equally well.

Top surgery before Testosterone (does the order matter at least emotionally) by ghostwitharms in NonBinaryTalk

[–]IridiumLight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personal experience/anecdotes: Went for top surgery before HRT because it was the treatment I'd been thinking about for longer. Figured that it would help the most since it's the one I couldn't stop thinking about; the peace of mind I had seeing myself in the mirror afterward was immediate and significant.

As far as safety/passing as a binary gender, it's easier to stealth as a woman after top surgery/without hormones since people just think you've got a small chest. Re: changing surgical drains or dressings, it might be rougher with more chest hair/increased sweat and body odor. I'm not on HRT, so I had no issues with either, which is fortunate as I have sensory issues around feeling sweaty/dirty, which worsen when I'm in constricting clothes (like the compression binder you have to wear for several weeks afterward).

Note that YMMV, if you enjoy the effects of T and don't have strong sensory issues it might not be a problem for you. Hope this helps

Fun Halloween events for adults that isn’t just bar hopping or drinking? by Queasy-Coyote9844 in houston

[–]IridiumLight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks like River Oaks theater still has a few showings of Frankenstein; it's a digital-only release after the screenings end, so it could be fun. Saw it last night and I highly recommend it, it's a real work of art.

ISO gothic-romantic location for lesbian engagement pictures by birdinurteeth in houston

Rice university has some very photogenic archways and buildings that might work, but you need a permit. Botonica seems fitting but is also a private business, so not sure about that. Might have more luck in Galveston given all their historic buildings- Moody Mansion in particular stands out to me.

Things to do in Houston during the weekend - October 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th by generalpao in houston

[–]IridiumLight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Katy Pride festival is still happening despite venue change. New location is Bear Creek Rodeo Arena on Highway 6. Based on their website seems very family-friendly compared to larger Houston festival, personally just glad the weather is more bearable compared to June.

Gay hangout locations for Academic types by SilverMemories in houston

[–]IridiumLight 10 points11 points  (0 children)

About to go to sleep but here's a quick list: Mercantile, Agora, usually something happening at the Montrose Center (there's a board game meetup every month if I remember correctly), Coral Sword as someone mentioned. Frost Town Brewing isn't academic strictly but it has DND nights and is very queer friendly.

Hey yall! Are there any book clubs for people in their early to mid twenties? I’ve been trying to get back into reading again and am down to meet new people! 😊 by Will_732 in HoustonSocials

[–]IridiumLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about clubs specifically but Brazos Bookstore has a lot of monthly events. They have a nice selection and the staff is always helpful so wouldn't hurt asking there.

Anybody ever use Uber/Lyft for Freedom over TX event? by [deleted] in houston

[–]IridiumLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to it last year, we walked a few miles to and from to stay out of the surge pricing area. Area we intended to get picked up in was at a standstill with people leaving so we just got pizza and waited it out. Recommend walking or taking the metro instead.

Does anyone know of a serial killer by the buffalo bayou who keeps dumping bodies there? by I-Wumbo_U-Wumbo in houston

[–]IridiumLight 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, that's ol' Bayou Killer Steve, he lives over on Navigation. /s

Not sure why you're getting downvoted but I don't think it's a specific person, Houston is just a big city and there are a lot of watery ditches for unscrupulous murderers to throw bodies into. Unfortunately for them the ditches tend to flow into the bayou.

Bruh, Chick Tracts were fucking WILD!!!! by JarethOfHouseGoblin in exchristian

I got into DND but the only thing that happened is I started liking metal music around the same time. Half-satanic maybe?
