Yeah, I'm on fin and minoxidil right now but I'm still losing ground and it's super disheartening. But thank you for the advice and kind words all the same <3

I've been a lurker in this community for a long time, and I've thought about posting with long diatribes talking about how being in the closet and not feeling free to be yourself is soul-crushing and how terrible I feel sometimes, but tonight I wanted to make a post about how today when I stopped to get a coffee the girl behind the counter told me she liked my (shoulder-length) hair and that it suited me, and then gave me an extra espresso shot for free. I'm fighting hair loss and while it might not be the most obvious thing to others, it feels very obvious to me and I'm incredibly insecure about it.

As someone who at BEST presents like a queer guy, maybe she was just into me or being nice, but for a few moments, it felt like I got to be part of the girl club and it made me tear up a tiny bit as I walked away from the shop 🥲 (and also, who doesn't like a compliment from a pretty girl???)

Opinions of the New Hope radio drama? by riley in c/[email protected]

No joke, these three radio dramas are some of my favorite Star Wars media out there and they have been since I discovered them. I love pretty much everything that comes out, but the OT holds a very special place in my heart and these feel like extended cuts of those movies in a way. ANH is my favorite just because there's SO MUCH added context/story, but the other two are fantastic as well. Seeing bits and pieces from George's original ideas/earlier versions of the film scripts is one of my favorite things about them. I shout my love for these productions from the rooftops basically every chance I get.

I saw a panel at Celebration... Chicago I think? that was kind of an oral history of these put on by two college professors. One of the best fan panels I've ever seen.

Also ESB gives us John Lithgow as Yoda? Incredible.

This list looks unlike pretty much any list I've ever seen, and while I don't agree with all of your opinions (TLJ is second only to ANH in my book), I respect your unique thinking!
