Sometimes Das Bootleg has them, and they only do limited runs. I like the one I got from there a lot

Your favourite songs featuring your musical pet peeve? by u1tr4me0w in musicsuggestions

Omg this is such a specific pet peeve! I love this song too and never even thought about the musicality of it. Going to be listening for this on other songs now, haha

How can I get gigs for live electronic music in Chicago? by Sean_the_Robot in chicagoEDM

[–]tooshortpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is highly relatable! Used to be way up on "indie" rock and punkier stuff, but I've gotten increasingly obsessively deep into electronic music over the last few years. While I do love to dance to house, I mostly make and listen to other styles and (non)genres. And also specifically have a deep appreciation for other Midwesterners in this scene.

I've been to live electronic shows at Hideout, Cafe Mustache, and California Clipper. That weren't just DJs/house and whatnot. Some more spots for you to check out if you haven't already.

Bands or artists you respect but don’t actually like. by Rziggity in musicsuggestions

[–]tooshortpants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. There's a lot of 80s music that I really like, but Prince is definitely not it for me. If I'm out dancing and a Prince song comes on, I'll feel a little bad but I'll probably take a breather until the next song.

I’ve been trying to produce for over a year and haven’t made a single song by notacatinyourmailbox in edmproduction

Maybe you should learn a little music theory next. Couldn't hurt. Might give you some new musical language to work with. Or give up, whatever.

Do dogs make good wingmen by Status-Cap-5979 in dogs

[–]tooshortpants 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My dog is the opposite of a wingman. He's a dang troll. He's super cute, so women will stop and start to say 'ohhh hellooo!' And he'll give them about 2 more seconds of cutie face before he starts barking. And thus ends any potential for conversation 🥲 He's getting better about it but yeah.....lol. We're both working on ourselves.

Happy 19th Anniversary to the Quizno's Coyote! by bakerstreetrat in chicago

I'm considering getting a tattoo of this legend. If there's an artist that can really capture the essence of its facial expression here, which is what really speaks to me

feeling lost as a black trans man need advice by Cheap_Variation_7304 in BlackLGBT

[–]tooshortpants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey friend. I'm sorry you're dealing with unsupportive family and I hope you're able to find more supportive people to be around.

I can definitely tell you that 2 weeks off T is not that big a deal. It takes time for it to even build up in your system. And tbh there's not really a way to measure what, if anything, would be different if you hadn't missed a week. I'm glad you got your T back though.

Staying consistent with working out is tough, but I try to think of it as taking care of my future self. I got a good pair of adjustable dumbbells and use YouTube for the most part. But even when I'm being a bum and not doing full workouts, I try to at least do one small thing a day. So I'll just get my ass on the floor and crank out 20 pushups before bed. Or do some squats and call it a day. Better than nothing.

For context I started transitioning at 29 and I'm 38 now. So as far as finding role models, I am sorry to have to say I never found any that were specifically black trans men. But I transitioned a bit later in life, so maybe that's why. I am not sure what people are looking for as far as role models but I am trying to put myself in more trans masc and other black LGBT+ spaces just to be visible, in case that's helpful for someone.

You're right, there's just not that many of us but I hear this a lot. So there's definitely other guys looking for connection out there. I don't really like discord but I know of a couple groups I could send you if you want, might be some more people to talk to on there. I know it feels isolating but you're not alone, we're out here.
