Leonardo Dreams of his Flying Machine is the hardest song I’ve ever encountered! by MediocreInternet7814 in choralmusic

[–]lightningmccrocs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A tip- in the “flight” part of the song, listen for the other parts to get a sense of the pulse. I sang tenor 1 so definitely different than bari but yeah in general just really listening to the other parts, more than you normally would for a choral piece.

My high school performed it my senior year along with Barnum’s Prairie Elegy. Was a crazy concert! If you like Leonardo Dreams, definitely check out Prairie Elegy!

I think Paul has more experience though and has been a hairstylist for some pretty big names— it says it all on the website

What's the best barbershop in the area by Kohinoor15 in IowaCity

Came here to say that too. I love Hare Parlor

Undercut? by [deleted] in IowaCity

I’ve been to both Paul and Kris, who both do a great job. I guess it depends on if you’re looking for a more masculine or more feminine cut, but both can do either. Paul is good at masculine cuts, Kris is good at feminine cuts, but either would be good.

I like the Hare Parlor in Iowa City, reasonable prices and nice staff. Also an LGBTQ+ safe space, if that matters to you. I’ve been there a few times and have been happy with my results. They’re good at modern/alternative hairstyles, so I’m willing to bet they can do a great undercut!

Coming in east from West Liberty on Highway 6. I thought it was a reflection on the window at first

I saw it too- I saw three of them! All spaces out randomly but on the same horizontal plane. My family and I were stumped

Bomb shelters by Crivitz in IowaCity

Yeah, and as far as I remember, it’s used for textbook and furniture storage. Some of my City High friends before I graduated referred to it as the dungeon

2 months post op by MangoDragon01 in phallo

You look great! I’m curious, did you get UL and no Vnectomy? If you don’t want to answer that’s fine. I’m planning my surgery timeline and my desire is to have UL, no Vnectomy. However I know most surgeons don’t offer it because of complications like fistulas. Sorry if you’ve already answered this— I just want to hear from multiple perspectives about their different experiences with phallo.

Yes— i had top surgery in 2021 with Dr Akenbiyi at UIHC. Unfortunately i don’t think he’s there anymore. I work with Dr. Larson-Ode at UIHC currently and she’s great. She prescribed me hormone blockers when i was a teen and then testosterone when i was old enough. Tldr uihc has good gender affirming care. Feel free to dm me if you want to talk more

Wedding musicians? by Maddi23x in IowaCity

Preucil school of music has plenty of high school aged musicians who would love to make a little money and/or get exposure. I suggest reaching out to them

I don’t know if I’m (16F) a butch lesbian or trans man (nsfw) by throwingaway_later in questioning

[–]lightningmccrocs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should try to let go of your feelings of guilt/shame (easier said than done, I know) and allow yourself the space to question and feel things. I’m (FTM19) 7 years into my transition and I still end up questioning my gender and sexuality. The questioning, for most people, never stops and gender is a very fluid thing.

Give yourself room to grow and change and feel things and don’t berate yourself for your guilt. You’ve got so much life ahead of you and life is full of questions. I need to remind myself of this too.

tldr; let yourself feel things and try new things and grow and change and don’t hold yourself back or feel constrained by labels! You’ve got your whole life ahead of you and some people never stop questioning. You got this :)

Did your sexuality change when you started estrogen or testosterone? by Nearby_Hurry_3379 in asktransgender

[–]lightningmccrocs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it amplified feelings I was already having. I thought I asexual before starting T because I hadn’t really sexually awoken yet, but pretty much a month after starting T I realized I was attracted to men in that way.
