The Quiet Rebellion of Nail Polish
Freedom in feeling good.
“Yo hago siempre lo quiero
Y mi palabra es la ley
No tengo trono ni reina
Ni nadie que me comprenda
Pero sigo siendo el rey”
-Pete "El Conde" Rodríguez, “Yo Soy El Rey”
March is the worst month of the year in the Northeast. Every day, I take Soca on walks and whine about how nature's complexion resembles the inside of a septic tank. If you're gonna be a muddy-looking month, at least be frigid, snowy, or extreme. But hey, as a winter baby, it's up to us to use our birthdays to keep up morale (March birthday friends from Ed to Lizzie, I tip my hat to you).
Now it's your turn to opine with a Seasonal Report. I'm curious about your thrills and chills in the world as of late. What are you working on? What have you discovered about yourself this season? What can we support?
You can ask an anonymous question through our Are There Other Men Like Me? form or email us at mark@othermenneedhelp.com. We'll share questions, answers, and responses throughout April.
This month's Guest Contributor goes by Some Guy, who I'll call SG. I'm always thrilled to hear from an audience member, and SG is a real gem of a person. We connected last year and have since had some truly wonderful, insightful chats. SG creates mini-comics about his life that he hasn't shared with anyone except me. I find them delightful and asked him to contribute to Other Men.
Here is SG's Seasonal Report:

Having my nails done is one of my favorite things, makes me feel so put together. I remember being a kid and practicing doing them to perfect my skill. It was important to me to know how to do both hands well lol. I’m glad SG has found the same joy.
