By asking this question you have initiated the ancient ritual. Three spirits will visit you on the eve of national coming out day. You will have to blow them to gain your answers.

Noo! Not that! I've been good! It won't happen again!

As a gay, it's definitely gay. There's secret text that only gays can read. I can't tell you what it says or the ghost of Anderson Cooper will have me excommunicated from the gay Mafia, but it's there.

... I fear I've said too much already.

Also should be using an alt, but too lazy.

Not illegal stuff, just very fringe stuff. There's like 5 videos that float around and all link back to paid sources. Once you've finished to those same 5 videos for the 30th time, you're fucking bored with them, and you have to seek out homemade stuff by being involved in online communities for it, or by paying for it. Most of the time the homemade shit you also have to pay for.

I'm not on tiktok, but I'll admit to using YouTube as a search engine a lot. Also googling something and immediately hitting the video tab before reading any of the results.

That's good to know! I'll start reaching out, I think

Oh wow, that's a bit ambitious. I just want a small 1 inch tattoo on my inner wrist. I'm working on a design right now, but I'm not sure how to proceed exactly, because I have basically no artistic talent and can't draw to save my life. Lol

This has been my thought process when considering it. I'm hoping that when I get there that'll be the case. I sew and have no problems with that, even if I get stuck, so I'm hoping once I'm there and in the chair it won't be too bad. The next problem is that I am, to use the clinical term, a wimpy little wimpy wimp when it comes to pain, so I've got a couple hurdles to jump. Lol

I wish you luck with that. Public housing applications are the bane of my existence. I've been on the waiting list for so long that I couldn't tell you how long anymore. I hope there are shorter wait times in your area. I'm not sure what your politics are, but if you're at all lefty, it you hit up the local DSA (democratic socialists of America) there's normally at least 1 or 2 people in it that run errands for folks and give em rides as part of a mutual aid network. Local anarchists groups are good for that, too. Episcopal churches also tend to have bus services (geezer wagons) in my experience.

Hitting the nail on the head in that last paragraph.

Also, I'm sorry. That's a shitty situation. It's wildly unl unlikely, but if you happen to be in east TN, I have a car and don't mind taxi-ing a Lemming in need

I'm still highly considering a tattoo, but now in a much more stable place, so my needle phobia is helping keep my canvas blank lol

Can confirm the guy side of this. Have shaved my head in moments of crisis. Not something I consciously considered before doing it. Just felt... Idk, claustrophobic and needed to do something.

Also, when my mom was in the hospital last year, had I been able to get in with one, I would've had a tattoo by the time she got out.
