I was really pumped to start hand poking (instead of buying a machine) and wasn't expecting to need to go over it as much as I did. Now that I've poked I kind of want the speed/line cleanness of the machine.

Picked up some 5rl tattoo needles and ink and gave and got my first tattoo, stick n poke style. It's not finished yet, there will be some pointillism trees in the background to come.

I would love to have a lot more sex than I do, but I don't because I can't get down with most people I meet. Almost all straight men view me as a "weird female" and while they might not say anything about it, don't really get what I mean when I say I'm genderqueer. Girls that are interested are...

Recently had given to me a bunch of those nice expensive maps for parks in New York. By request I will take pictures of them and send them to anyone that needs them (they're large and there's a lot here, so I'm not uploading them all at once.) Please message me the map you need if you're...

If you're on a trail like the Appalachian Trail, there will be thru camping shelters, usually fancy 3-sided raised structures that you can use for the night. Don't rely on them though, your schedule may not always match up with coming upon them. There are a few pros and cons to a tent: Pros...

This came across my dashboard today, figured it might prove useful to y'all. You can contribute to his map by commenting as well, and he keeps it pretty updated apparently. https://foxnomad.com/2016/04/26/map-wireless-passwords-airports-lounges-around-world-updated-regularly/

The panniers I have are pretty easy to carry, even when fully loaded. I'm planning on picking up a $10 collapsible 20L backpack to go with them for items I need to bring with me when leaving my bike. I was considering bringing a regular backpack too at one point but it's just not worth the...

Daaaamn, I think I might have to pick up something that can handle terrain like this at some point.

That's very true. One of the reasons I'm planning on wwoofing is because I've seen people do it at the farm I work at and it's a good way to get to know people, get good food, and have someone house you. Science, actually. Majoring in conservation biology. Yeah. I do short backpacking trips...

A good friend today approached me with concerns regarding my traveling plans. I'm finishing up a degree now, but after that I plan on taking my bike to the west coast and just going with the flow, doing some wwoofing, freelance art and modeling, etc. I have a musculoskeletal condition that...

I struggle with abuse of a certain smoke-able plant, or rather, dependence. I have medical issues that cause a lot of pain and smoking helps me work through it, as well as pretty bad generalized anxiety. I could go on a bunch of other shit to alleviate the same issues, but every single...

Hair brush with a condom. It had this gel handle and ridges under that. Can't believe that huge marketing audience they missed out on when they made it a hairbrush.

Yo, So, due to my unacceptable gullibility, I am $12k in debt with a car with 67k miles on it. I wish to get rid of said car. Besides cosmetic damages (non-severe, a double dings and a crack in the front bumper) there is nothing wrong with it and it's in pretty good shape. I have a cosigner on...

Coyotes are my favorite animal :) (if you couldn't tell by my username.) Great story. My favorite coyote is the eastern one, a mix of western coyote, domestic dog, and grey wolf. I'm in NY and we have eastern and western yotes here. When I lived off the grid a group of about 15-20 (unsure on...

Yo, I am a hobby artist and figured I'd post some of my stuff here.

Legally speaking (ADA), a psychiatric service dog requires the dog to know a task, otherwise they're an ESA.

I'm a hobbyist/sometimes freelance dog trainer that at one point was training my own service dog and giving supplementary training sessions to a few others. To be completely honest, the issue is not fake service dogs so much as untrained and aggressive dogs. If I still had my SDiT and I ran...

Sexuality =/= gender Honestly, my biggest turn off regarding socializing with people outside of their lifestyles/beliefs being incredibly privileged, ignorant, and harmful is the overbearing weight they put on gender. When I had long hair, all my trans friends called me she, never even asked...

I can't give the experienced opinion the other two can, but here are some of the things I ran into while researching to buy mine: Aluminum frames are going to be lighter but will provide much less stability on terrain. Buying accessories (racks, mud guards) is a little more pricey because they...

Meet my new ride, Liberation. She's a Dahon speed P8. Can't wait til the cargo rack and panniers arrive. :) Decided to go with a folding bike after @Buffalo sold me on them. The idea of being able to hitch and use public transport were winners.

Stairs thing seems kind of normal. I grew up in CT and NY and have done a lot of hiking in the northeast, you'll often find stairs to old structures seemingly in the middle of nowhere, but really it's just that the rest of the structure has been burnt down or was made of wood and rotted away...

Aha, sorry, yep! My brain started going before it had processed enough of your post.

My friends say my idea of how I'm going to travel isn't something they've heard of before, but they're interested to see how it goes, aha. I'm looking to do a combination of hitching and biking with a long distance folding bike and potentially a small single wheel trailer. I'll be crashing in a...

If we're leaving feasibility out of the equation, I would much rather do away with money altogether and run on a barter system. But we're not, so my curiosity would be how that would translate in areas with a lower cost of living. Is universal basic income going to account for the different...

Yo, figured I should join the site since I've been lurking for months. I'm heading out next May once I finish my degree that's kept me stuck in Syracuse. Until then I'm just studying biology, working, doing art, and drinking coffee. I backpack and have a few friends that have been traveling for...
