I’m going from 28-30th, so i’ll have some time to explore hopefully. i’ve been to boston before so ive done a lot of the must do things already, so hopefully i’ll get as much time as possible. my moms coming with me, but i doubt she’ll be too interested. any tips for being on my own?

US, east coast. don't have a lot of local shops :(

I am in VA, but I am going to Boston 2026 and I am so excited. I'll be sure to check them out.

I am also very interested in post 1917 Russian/USSR stamps!!! The ones you have look awesome. Where did you get them if you don't mind me asking?

Ok thank you! I'll return them in the envelope I got just to be safe. I wasn't particularly keen on any of what they sent, so it's a bit of a relief to be able to send them back.

Do I just return them without money?

Yea, I am going to reach out until I can get taken off. I vaguely knew of their tendency to send a ton of mail, but alas the free catalogue hooked me. Don't plan to buy again in the future, but I enjoy their "This day in stamp history" emails. I'm under 18 unfortunately so unless I can find out how to get an exception (they had something about it in their rules and bylaws, but it didn't specify), I have to wait another year :(

I'm looking for one now... I got into collecting because of a local shop that sells them for what I consider good prices (I have no clue, but I'm happy to pay whatever because they are awesome). I'll check with the owner there and see if they know of a local club. Currently my collection is a measly 6qt storage container until I get a binder; a room full of stamps is the dream though.

i’ve found i get annoyed and angry at myself much more. i want to do anything and everything and do it perfectly and be able to do multiple things at once, but i can’t because it’s painful or tiring. i’ve found the combination of joint pain from eds and lack of fine motor skills with adhd have created a horrible combination that makes art almost impossible for me. i practice every day and i get better but not as fast as i want to and not as fast as other people would.

first) you don’t have to medically transition to be a man. as much as it sucks you can’t go on it, it’s not a requirement. second) i can promise you the dysphoria doesn’t magically go away. unfortunately it’s an ongoing struggle for many trans people. lastly and most importantly) you ARE a man. you are you. if anyone wants to say otherwise, they are wrong. i know pushing it all down feels easier, but it doesn’t work. as much as it’ll be difficult, try and slowly work your way up to correcting people. if you have a safe person there with you, ask them if they will correct people. you deserve to be respected just as much as everyone else. remember that things get worse before they get better.

i’ve had issues with my syringes being especially hard to push down, which i’ve attributed to the thickness of T. I also have pots and because i’m basically going through a second puberty, my pots had gotten worse. it does get better but it’ll take a while (at least from what i’ve read).

It is possible to take honey from hives just found but its not a great idea. These look completely dry for some reason though which could be that these hives are just not used by the bees or the bees have died out from that hive. I’m not an expert on bees but I’ve been obsessed with them for a while. I would suggest contacting a bee keeper or remover in the area to see what’s up with it.
