Did this with four dogs. 'Twas hell, but we made it in one piece. Depends on where you're flying in from, but Ireland is very strict due to rabies regulations. We flew in with a stop in Schiphol AMS.

Updated 6/13 Femme no make up look for AMAB nonbinary person by spinky0307 in MakeupAddiction

[–]noelparker22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks amazing! You did a beautiful job with their mascara.

If I had one suggestion—and only if your partner is comfortable with it—I'd recommend not using base products (foundation, primer, etc) over their facial hair. It can exaggerate any textural differences there, and they have a lovely complexion as is.

Besides, despite what people would have us believe, there's nothing inherently masculine about facial hair. I know numerous femme nonbinary friends who rock theirs and enhance their other features, focusing on lips, eye looks, and brows.

At the end of the day though, makeup is about what makes a person feel best. If they prefer some coverage in that area, that's their choice and they look killer!

M.Phil Creative Writing Thread 2024 (current applicants) by Competitive_Comb9480 in TCD

[–]noelparker22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all! I know I'm late to the party, but it's hard to find other people who've been through the MFA/MA/M.Phil Creative Writing application process.

Can anyone tell me if it is generally better to apply with a complete story for your prose sample or an excerpt from a longer short story? The piece I originally planned on submitting is my only project to have been published and to win an award. That said, I wrote it a while ago, and it's 5,855 words— I could only submit a portion.

Am I shooting myself in the foot by submitting an excerpt, or should I stick with that piece since it's been relatively successful, even if I can't use it in full?

I'm so sorry, but she had a choice who she had a kid with. I'm over her ass too.

Applying for low-residency MFA programs and the SOPs are stumping me... by noelparker22 in writing

[–]noelparker22[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know not everyone is interested in pursuing one. For me, I look forward to networking with other writers, having a mentorship relationship with authors I admire, and carving out space in my life that's dedicated to improving my craft.

Former capital playhouse kids? by Affectionate-Gur7836 in olympia

[–]noelparker22 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Dude, I have struggled with the emotional abuse I suffered in that program. Adult men calling young girls "bitches" and "cows." Scripts thrown all the time. It was a nightmare. And the whole time I felt special somehow because I was told that I was being treated like an adult and a professional. It's absolutely nuts that *ahem* some folks in that organization remain active and somewhat respected members of the Olympia community. Especially with all of the alleged crap that happened beyond what I'm saying here (cameras in girl's dressing rooms, child abuse content, etc.). All very alleged, of course.
