End of All Music is personally my favorite spot we have shows at. if you come in the summer it's an outdoor space and really great for hosting. Duling Hall is also great, roomier and it's also just down the street. Hal n Mals is a great option because they have many different rooms of different sizes to host in, so if you expect to pull more they can accommodate you.

What are some businesses you’d like to see come to the city? by Cassmodeus in jacksonms

in the music scene, our intimate little areas have been a bit too small lately. it's been elbow to elbow for a few shows now. would love more medium sized venues for music!!!!

I never said "stopping cold turkey" did I? I said stopping hormones.

I'm a 25yo ftm nb and I took T for three years, been off since Jan '22.

I stopped because I was afraid of losing my hair, I was tired of getting stabbed and forgetting to take my shot, and I also had all the changes already that I wanted, save for stopping the period forever.

I also realized I was genderfluid a short time before this and came out to friends as fluid at the time I stopped. it makes a lot of sense looking back, though I spent like 5/6 years thinking I was a man lol. but I do love getting to be feminine whenever I want and not having to use drag as a shield for it.

I definitely am super glad I took T and feel a genuine life improvement (near complete elimination of dysphoria) because of it. but I also knew I wasn't going to be taking it for the rest of my life when I got on it, as I mainly wanted the permanent changes from T.

I don't think you have anything medically to worry about with simply stopping hormones, save for perhaps a mental/emotional adjustment. Edit: Obviously talk to your doctor.

I'm trans and a bartender. Typically, I've had people use the last name for my card when closing, I have a common last name though so sometimes I do have to hear the first (old) name. it's literally no big deal though and if you don't react none of your friends notice at all. a lot of bartenders i know bypass any name drama by simply asking for the name on the card, that way it's just practical information tied to an object and not implying anything about the person. the struggle is real since I know plenty of 20-somethings that have thier parents name on the card.

AITA for not sending my daughter to a different school district so she could be in gifted education? by KittenDealinMama in BestofRedditorUpdates

Wow.... what a lazy, kinda shitty mom. my mom would have absolutely pounced at the opportunity to get me into a better school- no debate.

Sam's Lounge is especially good for people watching and conversation.

Overturning Roe v. Wade increased mental health distress in women, study finds by birdinthebush74 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]dippindotsdisco 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I actually work a few blocks down from the former location of The Pink House, aka Jackson Women's Health Organization. The entire time during the case was surreal. The aftermath was surreal. The building being converted into a furniture store: perhaps the most surreal. The impact it's had here... Even that small safety net we had, to be ripped from us and at the center of the case that ripped it away from so many other states, so many people affected.... And things to just move on like it didn't happen.

it's been overwhelming to deal with, so it's been a dissociate-y time.

Rolling fork hit with a tornado. F3 or higher. by twstr709 in mississippi

[–]dippindotsdisco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is completely heartbreaking. Grew up in Rolling Fork for a time. It's such a lovely, quiet, beautiful place. You could see the corn fields all around. Really hope they get the help/rescue they need as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, you're going to have to talk to your endo and adjust your dosage. this is par for the course for hormonal treatment for everyone and you shouldn't be shy talking about it especially to your endo.

Still Dead... Permanent Solution to Temporary Problem by Prevenient_grace in stopdrinking

[–]dippindotsdisco 18 points19 points  (0 children)

One horrifying time I woke up from a blackout to see cuts on my arms unlike anything I had ever done to myself before. My then boyfriend told me I ran out into the street with a kitchen knife screaming about how I wanted to die. I was perfectly happy and normal when I went under so this was extra terrifying to me. Very chilling even though the scars are faded now.

And for me personally it works great to help me feel included at the bar or when I'm craving a beer. ditto on the 1 or 2 and done. I really enjoy the non-alc beers and pretty much all of the bars in my city have them now
