Well, not in large Midwestern cities. But in suburbs and small towns? Certainly.
Funny note, my parents’ first home cost $27,000. But this was back in the 1980s so it probably doesn’t matter.

Oh goodness, that’d be a nightmare for me. I like enclosed spaces, but I was starting to go nutter in Spain the last time in my flat without any windows (except to an elevator shaft). :\

afterromulus replied to your post: Wow i KNOW. People do amazing things with loft spaces around here!
This place is insane. I actually told her I’d love to commission something similar from her partner as a space for us to write and Tatiana to sew, but then I realised that’d probably set me back something crazy like $10K and was like lol, no, I’ll buy some frickin’...

Wow
A neighbour just showed me her loft, which is on the opposite end of the hallway from ours.
Now, granted, she probably pays $4K a month for the place and it’s not as deep, but it’s got an actual upstairs (and ceilings that have to be about 15 meters tall). And her partner freaking built a room from metal and wood on stilts for their kid. They use the underneath bit for storage and as...

captainconspicuous asked: Oh and, good luck with the name change and everything else! (:
captainconspicuous asked: Wowow, thank you so much for such an in-depth answer. What you've told me really makes a lot of sense-- I suppose I shouldn't get too excited/worried about it. I live in a generally small city, and though I've heard of people with names that do not stereotypically fit with their gender, I've never met anyone. I think I'll stick with Kim, then. It's me, you know? In...

fuckyeahftms:
Hey guys, I’m a 14 year old trans* guy living in Canada. (: I just got my binder (yay), and my next step is my name. The thing is, I went through a lot of names I liked, but I find my given name hard to give up and at the same time possibly ok to keep. Kim. So, I needed to ask, Is Kim good enough? I know it’s a gender-neutral name, which fits my identification of genderqueer or...

In high school, I shaved my head except for the top (like a mohawk but not) and it was freeeeeezing. I sure felt like a badass though.
That is absolutely badass. I’m not sure I’d have the guts for that, but mostly I need to make sure I look okay for work (not sure what “okay” actually is, but...

At any rate, it’s very girly. I like the length, just not the mullet forming on the back end. I’m considering shaving everything off but the top. Voila, mohawk in the making!

As members of Georgia’s House of Representatives debate whether to prohibit abortions for women more than 20 weeks pregnant, House Democrats introduced their own reproductive rights plan: No more vasectomies that leave “thousands of children … deprived of birth.”

Binders
toxxy:
Hi. A break in the regular programming.
I’ve been having some rib pains with my smaller binders, so I plan on going a size up. I’ve been binding for almost two years now so … I think they’re flatter and I don’t need as tight a bind. On this note, during transition, gaining muscle mass means you might need to change binder sizes so you don’t get hurt. Anyway I have two [small] binders...

As expected (Murphy’s law?), I had to read my overheard dialogue story last night in class. Everyone else managed it in a page or two, but mine meandered on into the double digits. I took so long to get to the dialogue, it was almost clear as crystal I didn’t want it in my story at all.
The professor said it’s perfectly normal to sometimes have issues with prompts. Still, it...

I don’t think this is limited to trans* individuals.
I find myself confused a lot about names. Maybe it’s just me being strange, but going by Nic oftentimes feels out of sorts for me, because my birth name was two syllables and it’s only one. I’ve been hesitant to introduce myself as Nicayal though (which is pronounce “Nih-kyle” for anyone who doesn’t...

Just thought I’d bring that up. My creative writing class is on a “campus” that’s only open from 17:45 onward because during the day it’s a middle school campus.
There’s writing EVERYWHERE, up to the damn ceiling in this classroom. As much as I love the written word, I honestly think this would’ve overwhelmed me to have to sit in day in and day out as a...

Haha yeah especially if you have those noise cancelling ones. I do that all the time. :P
I do! They’re great.
I think my gig was up at lunch though, as I unplugged the suckers and proceeded to traipse back to the kitchen, earphones still on, and ate lunch with the chord hanging down by my feet.
God, I’m such a winner sometimes.
