I’ve never seen my partners whole face

[u/DullSeaworthiness356]

I’ve known my partner for 6 years now and he’s never shaved in that time; he’s always rocked a full comfy beard and stash, only trimming every week or so.

I remember (early on) when I discovered the shape of his upper lip because he accidentally trimmed his mustache too short, and I was somehow shocked to discover he had such a cute upper lip

I don’t think about it that often but I truly can’t imagine his face without 50%+ of it covered in hair, kinda spooks me sometimes when I do think about it (but not in any serious way, I love the man, probably still if he’d have no face at all)

(Sometimes I really wanna use an image generator to find out what his face looks like under there but it feels highly invasive and also fuck AI)

Dinner is butternut squash and feta cheese, I think I’ll blend it for a sauce or a soup

"oh, we met at the covid-conscious lesbian bar in Massachusetts"

As someone who lives in Massachusetts, I find it wild how this thing has blown up into national news.

Fyi, if the business survives (which based on the facts that were outted by the part time optional unmasking saga seems unlikely), and you're ever out that way, it is actually a really cool spot. It always has been- I've been during all of the last 3 regimes. I get that some people are bummed out by being asked to mask, but they'll provide one at the door and it's not that big of a deal (imo) (which I think makes it even crazier the way the whole story blew up).

How do you mask in a bar btw? Like, do you lift it to drink and then immediately have to put it back down? Sorry this is probably a dumb question

[u/AllIHearIsStaticGT → u/throwawayrva12345678]

Yes. We did it for years after things were allowed to reopen and before we decided that the majority of the population didn't care about covid anymore. Several venues I was attending at the time had guidelines about this spelled out on their websites/ticketing site and staff to enforce the rule. The covid conscious lesbian bar also has a nice little smoking patio and you can take a mask break out there (most people in Massachusetts don't smoke.)

That just... doesn't make sense tbh. If you're covid-conscious enough to still be masking full-time, I don't see how being in a bar where people are removing them to drink every 30 seconds is any better?
