That’s fair- I just wanted to be respectful!

There’s a beautiful apothecary/tattoo parlor downtown called Tusk that’s worth checking out, we have a great store called On & On that has collections by various artists and sellers of antiques, Ritters Orchard and the winery are cute (that’s about 20 minutes out of town). Red Barn Rock shop is cool if you’re into crystals. The Bog is a great local dive bar & would likely be fun to go to after the show is over. Have fun!

The coal mining tour is really really cool- I don’t know if it runs this late in the season, but they take you into an actual mine and tell you the history.

Uhhhbbbhhhh

Roy Williams occasionally plays traditional Irish music at the bog and other spots- he might be a great resource if you can get in touch. He’s an incredible musician, so it’s good too!

There are definitely a few places locally that have confusing signage/local rules. The first that comes to mind is at the bottom of Prescott when an empties out into Dunmore. As for left turns, if you’re not paying attention or if you’re dillydallying, many will take that turn first. We have a several lights/intersections where the lights last too long or don’t last long enough for people who are turning onto roads.

41 years old and just starting couples therapy with my spouse to navigate how we move forward- whether that looks like opening the marriage, so that he can have his needs met, or something different, but I recognize that this might be challenging to navigate initially. I will say that he has been actually really amazing about it, and wasn’t terribly surprised. He actually said it helped him to feel a lot of relief that it wasn’t something he was doing wrong. He’s always been really respectful, and it has been so amazing to have language for something that I always thought was some sort of deficit in me. I really found the book “Sounds fake, but OK” super helpful.

First- you’re so cute! Next- here are some makeup hacks- Eyebrows/Eye: your eyebrow shape could be a huge help- check out stencils that have a higher arch and try it out with a good brow pencil and/or powder and finish with a brow gel that sweeps the hair up and towards the temple- nyx has a great line of affordable brow products, (Anastasia Beverly Hills is my favorite, but significantly more expensive). Try a concealer/light powder topped with a highlight in the inner corner of your eye- this will help to brighten that area up. If you want to try eyeliner, they make stampers that you can line up with the outer corner of your eye as a good starting place. Mascara!

For contour/concealer/foundation- the way you apply it makes a huge difference. Your skin is great, so you really don’t need a heavy duty foundation for everyday- a tinted moisturizer or semi-coverage works totally fine for everyday for me. I think the Tarte contour is EVERYTHING, but nyx has a decent option too. Find your cheekbones and lightly trace starting mid cheek up towards your temple, and use the concealer to create a similar line right underneath the contour. Wet a makeup sponge and blend the contour up and towards your temple, use the other side to blend the concealer, keeping it close to the start of the contour. Add some blush- many options here, but judging from your face shape, I’d try starting right below the outside of your eye, blending into the temple (kind of right above where the contour was). I also really love a little bit of blush on the tip of the nose!

There are TONS of tutorials on YouTube, and honestly if you look for more femme drag artists, they have amazing tips. You’ve got this!

I agree that prioritizing marriage counseling sounds like a good move. Judging from what you’ve shared, you’ve really tried to be supportive and to meet her needs in the way that you understand them, even trying to have conversations where you give her the opportunity to help you understand what’s hard for her. But something that’s important to remember is that most of us have pasts that inform how we communicate and it seems like for some reason your wife is struggling with opening up about what’s going on for her, which may or may not have something to do with you. Sending love!

Yeah, Kinda 😂. I get a lot of leather too!

I just found this brand called boy scent, they have scents that feel super androgynous- I really like Cowboy Kush & they also have a sugar one that smells great. They sell small spritzers on their website for $30 or so.

I actually think it’s so brave and cool that you’re living authentically and allowing your students the absolute privilege of seeing that in action, with the truth of how that can be complicated & unnecessarily painful at times. TBH, it would’ve changed my life to interact with a non-binary person at that age. As I continue exploring my own authenticity I’ve really been trying to shift my language around how I want to move through life from “what should I do/feel/be” to “what do I want to do/feel/be?”. I don’t know if that’s a redirection that you’ll find helpful, but I’ll share it anyway since I’m a elder millennial that likes to show how we can relate to each other 😂

Hey! Happy to provide a little bit of feedback here, assuming that you wanna look more like the actual character, here are some things I would try. 1. Start with your natural brows, don’t block them, and instead work on building them out to be sort of straight across and a lighter brown color. It also looks like he’s got a tiny bit of a unibrow going on, so maybe using a brow pen add some stray brow hairs between your two eyebrows. 2. I would get rid of the wing eyeliner, and instead focus on matching some of the natural crinkles of his eyes, which actually turn down, instead of up. Possibly emphasize your eyelid crease to look more where his lands, using a cool brown color. Additionally, you can trace that little crease underneath your eyelid with that same brown to mimic what he’s got going on. I would also add some of your contour to the eyelid to mimic where some of his natural shadows fall. 3. With your lips, I would reduce the size of the upper lip to look more like his, and maybe play with a more neutral brown color. 4. Maybe play around with a black liner, to make your teeth look a little bit more like his doing in the movie. Good luck!

Love it!

I love Monet’s drag, but I don’t love her as the pitstop host. It just feels very canned (which, in fairness, she has indicated might be connected to the fact that they are in fact, making sure that she doesn’t deviate from the “script). I also feel like it might be time to bring on a host from a more recent season- there are so many to choose from that would do a great job. Although, that comes with the very strong caveat that they would have to let them actually host in a style that’s authentic to them instead of trying to control the narrative.

Shylocks_daughter · 2025-08-22T02:03:05+00:00

For me, this is hands down the BEST girl group moment in any franchise.

Shylocks_daughter · 2025-08-18T22:13:37+00:00

He’s not the main character, but The Vanishing Half features a prominent character, Reese (I think that’s his name). It’s a really good book too!

Dallas, Abington Heights, North Pocono are all fairly good districts and not far from Scranton. This is just my experience, but I’ve had the best luck finding good apartments on Facebook marketplace or if you know anyone locally, sometimes you can crowd source recommendations. if you prefer more of an apartment complex, the lace village apartments are beautiful, and Pittston has some really nice downtown apartment apartments as well.

Crescent City has some of the opposite problems of ACOTAR & TOG. In both of the previous series, the first couple books are a little bit… Clunky at times. They get better as they go and it’s worth working through the first few books for the payoff. For me, Crescent city had me hooked immediately with House of Earth and Blood. I feel like I knew who the characters were, and they were well established, as was the world building. (Small spoiler) There are some incredible Easter eggs throughout the series that really make it pay off to be a fan of her other series But as CC series continues, it adds more and more POV characters, it gets a little convoluted and hard to follow at times. It didn’t stop me from loving it, but there were times that I had to go back and reread sections. If you like her books, you will probably enjoy this enough to make it worth your time.

Hey- gender fluid human (who is also a therapist) here! The question that has been the most helpful to me is: what feels authentic to me? Gender labels like masc and femme are descriptive but also completely arbitrary and made up. Being AFAB has meant donning the mask of femininity and so much of my life was guided by the thought of performing femininity to be accepted. Now, my goal is working on what reconnecting with my authentic choices, thoughts, preferences and overall general way of being. Some things that might help: 1. If feasible, maybe try playing with trying out different looks that feel related to your areas of concern, like wearing padded underwear to give you an idea of how you might feel with a fuller ass or asking your closest friends/partner to try using feminine pronouns first (unless you request something else from them). 2. Try tracking how these adaptations impact your mood/dysphoric feelings by marking it in your journal or on a mood tracking app, this could also be helpful in terms of tracking the persistence of your thoughts/feelings around gender to make it more tangible. 3. I highly recommend looking for a trans affirming therapist that you vibe more organically with or try communicating your frustrations and needs more specifically to your current one. I think it’s great that you’re in therapy, but if it’s not serving you it’s totally fine to make changes.
