Thank you! I'm definitely keeping it for a while. And it's much more manageable than the teal that was my previous favorite.

You know that thing where you sleep on your arm funny and when you wake up it's all numb? Yeah that's my whole world right now.


I feel you on the paler colors! The mint I have in is a pain. About to dye it all black to grow out.

Totally forget some of you guys are from AZ. Phoenix is cursed and Van Buren is double cursed and god help you if you accidentally find yourself in Apache Junction. I'm constantly surprised how nice it is to walk around Seattle and not worry about getting stabbed by a methhead.

Aside from staining everything, I am absolutely the worst at bleaching and I fried the gently caress out of my hair. I had to buzz everything off and that is not a good look for me.

And thank you for justifying every "hell no!" I've ever given when someone says I should move to AZ.

Oh yeah, gently caress AZ. I lived there close to three decades. It's cheap to live, but wages suck, it's constantly hot to the point your trash can will melt and your car stereo will break, it's full of racist and bigoted assholes, and there's no good fresh fish (unless you want to gamble buying shrimp with the dudes in uncooled vans at the side of the road.) It's also dusty and gritty and just generally uncomfortable unless you spend $450/mo keeping your house to the very low temp of 80 degrees and have a pool in the back yard.

I grew up in the Coachella Valley, which is similarly lovely and cassette-melting hot (128°, one summer) so going back to a place like the one I fled with an hour's notice is not on my list of priorities.

Arizona is rad as hell from the air, I've flown over many times. Never been on the ground. Sounds like I'm enjoying that state the proper way.

Someone slashed my tires when I was away for a long weekend, and the rims sank into the asphalt and we had to use crowbars/cats paws to pry them up.

So AZ has these bus stops that are all metal but the metal has a billion tiny holes so you can see through it. Common sight is dudes thinking no one can see them having a free piss by the side of the road, "hiding" behind the bus stop.

Southern Arizona is definitely best by air. Northern AZ is just a different state and doesn't know it yet.

I had an urge to do a timeline recently, but posting on r/transtimelines scares the gently caress out of me, so I'm just gonna drop this off here with you lovely people.

Me at 2.5 months, 5.5 months, and 7.25 months

Speaking of labs, I finally got to see my professor's lab (he works in photonics). It's in a small cramped cheap office building off campus along with a bunch of other professor's labs and I swear, the place would be at home in a horror movie. The lab itself is messy as hell because his postdoc there was on maternity leave and the lab manager had also left. I see a spring cleaning day in my future.

I'm still an apprentice to my wife who has had makeup as a hobby for the 15 years we've been together, but I'm more than happy to pass on what I know. You can feel free to PM me so that this doesn't turn into a makeup thread, but I guess a good place to start is what are you doing now and what do you want to do?

I follow makeup artists in YouTube, but the thing that really made me learn and appreciate makeup is Kevin Aucoin's Making Faces (a book). He discusses technique, tools, and has several beautiful explained looks to recreate. It's from the late 90s but I still look at it now and then.

Helped my mom as I visited her this weekend. We were putting up polo horses out during a lightning storm. But one horse just absolutely loved me and thought I would share:



E- poo poo I forgot I had another picture. I forget the Mare's name sadly. :(



Also yes I know I am goony as gently caress I spent the weekend with my mom and forgot to bring a razor.

Went ice skating for the first time in at least 3 years. Made it ~30min on the ice before I had enough falls/slides to last me for the week 🙃



This taken moments before a near-faceplant, where I was forcefully reminded that the skates have a brake on the front of them :haw:

Good times, though. Ice skating is essentially the only hobby I’ve carried over from living in AK years ago.
