Inspired by another thread I saw recently. For this thread, I have two parts to this. What are you grateful for:
-
on Beehaw? - Anything you like about this community, an interaction you appreciated, something that brightened your day, an aspect of site culture that appeals to you, etc.
-
offline/in real life? - Just more generally, what are you thankful for? Anything that’s happened in your life recently that has turned out to be good, people making a positive difference in your life, etc.
I finally went through and got my first haircut since 2018-2019. Went to a local queer barbershop, got my hair cleaned up and fully bleached and it was amazing. Took 6 hours to bleach, since I have a ton of hair (one of the largest hair jobs the person doing it ever had they said), but it turned out great. Then got home, dyed it, and was so damn euphoric and happy. Its nice to finally be in control of my hair.
Hair is honestly such a big thing for queer people. Be it growing it out, chopping it off, bleaching, dyeing, it plays a pretty big role in how you get read.
