Interested in potentially becoming a Freemason.

In my teenage years I was a Boyscout which I am proud to say I dedicated myself all the way up to Eagle Scout and subsequently joined the Order of the Arrow which I participated into my early adult life. However, that was nearly a decade now and I am no longer an active part of either the Boyscouts or the Order of the Arrow. I miss the feeling of brotherhood, the rituals, and being apart of something bigger than myself. Even doing mundane tasks such as wittling wood.

My question would be what exactly do Freemasons do? I know Google describes philanthropy as the major pillar of the organization, but that doesn't really tell me what I can expect and whether it's an organization for me.

Thank you in advance.

Just need an avenue to vent frustration over family.

My mother keeps trying to get me to strengthen my relationships with my older brothers. I like my mother, so I go along with it. However, I don't understand how someone as sweet and nice as her raised two pieces of utter garbage. I want to say "sorry, I rather not speak to my brothers at all because I am tired of listening to blatent racism, homophobia, and every other form of bigotry under the book, or listening to their almost funny perspective of politics, all the while knowing it's a complete waste of time and piece of mind to voice my dissent." But no, I keep coming along to family gatherings to be physically in the same location as my brothers out of respect for my parents, not that my dumb as bricks brothers practice any sort of respect for anyone including my parents.

​

The only thing that strengthens whenever I am around them is my desire to not be associated with them.

Trying to identify the value of this bill my late grandfather gave me.

Over a decade ago my grandfather left me a zip lock bag full of silver dollars, pennies, and other coins along with a bunch of old bills wrapped in a rubber band (that prompted disintegrated when I tried to take it off). I was a stupid teenager at the time and I couldn't care less about it and just threw it in a storage container. The bills were collection of a yen, a 2 dollar bill, a couple of one dollars that look unremarkable to me, and this bill which I have never seen before

​

The bill I am mostly curious about is the top one. I also added one of the other of the other one dollar bills for scale and because I am also curious about it.

First time sharing my glamour so I didn't put a lot of effort into the background. If this is too low effort I apologize, I just don't want to spend a lot of time finding the perfect background when it's possible this is my first and last post here. I also hope the quality is alright. People have said my screenshots look pixelated but I can't tell.

When I made my WoL, I went with Au Ra Xeala simply because I liked how they looked the best. However, after learning more about their lore I was inspired to make a more nomadic themed WoL. Except with a Spriggan Hat that I just happened to find in the marketplace that I found adorable, thus has it remained glued to my WoL's head ever since.

The entire outfit can be obtained with the completion of Stormblood, so I believe it's free trial friendly.

Outfit includes:

Spriggan Cap, Gold Spriggan Eyeglasses, Demon Chestpiece of Striking, Augmented Hellfire Guantlets of Fending, Auri Pantelettes, Scion Traveler's Boots, Inferno Blade, The Emperor's New Shield.
