One of the challenges for transmasc people is that shirts and sleeves may be too long. If that’s part of the difficulty, you could check out Under 5’10” (under510.com), which carries clothes for short guys. It’s online rather than brick-and-mortar, though.

Having lived there, I can say that Montgomery County MD is, by and large, pretty liberal. I suspect you would see different results in, say, a rural county in Tennessee or Utah.

An absolutely gorgeous book. I am due for a reread… or rather, a relisten.

It is! Wrap-ups are a great source for book discovery, too.

I’m so happy for you, and for all the children who will be introduced to wonderful books and the joys of reading!

To clarify—we got the Covid vaccine. We usually get the flu shot in early October.

Got ours yesterday, and currently “enjoying” the post-vaccine fatigue and aches—which are totally worth it! I am so glad we were able to get the vaccine; I worry about all the people that want to, but can’t get one in the current situation.

For me it’s books. And fiber (yarn and spinning fiber.) But the books come first.

Interesting! I’m trying to approach my first weaving project with that attitude: that my mistakes are opportunities to learn, and at the end product doesn’t have to be perfect (which it certainly won’t be!) I think I will go ahead and finish it, and even keep it so that I can see how far I’ve come.

I saw several things I would like to try once I’m better with the basic technique.

That’s what I thought; it’s a book I can grow with as a weaver.
