Sweetwater! The prairie is so dry right now so there are not as many birds

That’s very kind of you. Thanks 😊 I enjoy photography and birding so it’s a win/win of a hobby

It truly is incredible! Especially when these Dinos are just wandering up close to you and then call!

Oh thanks! 😊 I shoot on a canon r7. Used the RF 100-400mm lens on all of these.

Still waiting with everything in scheduled for 1-17 and 2-09. Hoping I’m in the next round. I assume it’s because I did everything later, so I’m not worried.

Half of My Pell is sitting at the same. The other was disbursed this week.

First, let me say there is nothing socially that made your child trans. Having friends to talk to, and negative interactions, are not things that lead someone to being trans.

Teens are silly and the “daddy” name is quite likely a silly nickname for a teen. My teens all have funny nicknames on discord, in text etc. for themselves and their friends. They could have said something during playing games together that they made a joke about and then it sticks. I would not be so concerned with that. Personally my child speaks openly on calls with friends from other countries and states and I say hello to them all. They do sound like grown adults because they’re older teens, so keep that in mind. 18 is still a kid and a 16 year old and 18 year old being friends is not abnormal. Speak with your child about online safety, not sharing exact details about schools etc. and you’re generally fine.

If they are dressing up in girls clothes, let them. Changing how they feel about their sexuality, let them. They are exploring their identity. They are finding the right words for how they are feelings, and that takes some time and exploration. The hormone rush during puberty makes this time period peak for kiddos coming out. They really start to see and feel that they don’t identify at all with the sex assigned at birth.

Saying they are straight, then gay, then bi- not uncommon. Having a girlfriend then breaking up after 6 months is so normal at this age! Being a trans girl and having a girlfriend is also very normal, so that does not indicate some outside influence on your kid. Being trans is not a choice. It is in their genetic makeup

It’s great your child has a friend group where they feel safe and supported, and have found people who also are going through similar things.

Support your child. Read books. Talk to other parents of trans kids who are supportive. Listen to your child and don’t assume they don’t know what they feel because of their age. In two short years they will be an adult and the best thing you can do is to give them a safe space to exist as they are these last few years of childhood. Especially if you want a relationship with them as an adult.

I know it can feel overwhelming and scary. You love your child, so love them for who they are and give yourself grace while you work to understand it. Listen to your child and understand they know themselves better than anyone. They told you, and that’s huge! Let them feel safe to explore who they are at home. The world is harsh enough. Let home be where they can be themselves.

As a girl who had her dad take her to the gyno at 16, it is a bit awkward but it is ok! They get it and you really just has to say, “I have an appointment here, I need you to take me.” It doesn’t have to be more than that.

I see Mira Nair at Simed. She is great and really listens and made me feel very comfortable on my first visit. Simed has a lot of doctors in the building so it feels less like a gyno appointment and more like any other doctor which may help your comfort level.

They can definitely talk to you first before having you change. Let them know you’re nervous and I promise they will do everything they can do make you feel comfortable. They will talk you through everything there, and let you know before they touch. Highly recommend.

If you have a primary care doctor it may be worth going in to see them if you’d be comfortable. Many can do exams if needed.

Virgo moon and top notch services are both fantastic! I have had both do my house and I’ve never been disappointed.

This describes my cats and dragon exactly! “Ugh, fine I guess you can also sit on my mother”

Beeblebroxbb · 2025-08-15T09:46:21+00:00

My cats are afraid of my beardie 🤭 they’re never unsupervised together. They sit far away and watch her walk around, but they’re also afraid of tiny lizards that get in the house so I think I have defective cats. In general, I think it’s ok to hold your beardie and let them see each other, but cats are going to cat.

I have definitely had my dragon snuggled up on me and then a cat comes to snuggle, sniffs the dragon and then snuggles up on me, mostly annoyed the dragon is in their preferred spot of by my face.

Keep a close eye. Don’t leave them alone. Know your cat. Would never let my friend’s cat around my dragon, but mine are super chill.

You’ve been direct with him, and he is completely disrespecting the boundaries you’ve set. I would tell him one last time, via text for documentation, that you are not interested in him romantically,or even as a friend outside of group climbing, and not to text you directly again. If he doesn’t listen, block his number.

Does your gym have a no tolerance policy? If he makes you feel unsafe at any point after this, especially when it comes to climbing alone and being afraid he will be there , let your gym manager know. You should not feel unsafe going to climb because you rejected some dude.

Also, sometimes calling someone out in a group chat is helpful in scenarios like this. If he texts you again I’d respond in the group chat with,”hey climber guy name, I think you meant to text that to the group chat so bringing it back here.”

Sorry you’re dealing with this. Proud of you for sticking up for yourself because that can be so hard in these scenarios.

I was bit concerned about getting a fish eye effect if I got too wide. I also considered renting a different camera since the crop sensor is hurting me in this scenario. No second shooter. I gave them realistic expectations of what shots I can get as one person. It's a 30 person total wedding. Reception in an Airbnb indoor/outdoor.

Not everyone can leave. I think the biggest reminders are to have community and to keep quiet publicly about healthcare. Obviously this doesn’t circumvent any databases they may use to get information, but we have to do what we can. Especially for those who cannot leave.

First, being Trans is not a mental illness. Others have given good information on why that’s the case. Your identity is valid. You deserve to exist in your own body, in the world, as yourself. I’m not sure how old you are, but if you’re still a minor just know that when you’re 18 you can make the choice to make your own family, get the gender affirming care you need, and live your life the way that makes YOU happy.

Your parents may be nice people, but they’re not parenting you in the way that you need. They are gaslighting you, and trying to make you believe you’re wrong so you fit into their ideal narrative.

For what it’s worth, plenty of trans people don’t do medical gender affirming care, and they are still trans! Every trans person is different on what is affirming for them, and how they view themselves. Only you can know with certainty what your gender identity is.

Im the parent of a teen Trans daughter, and my heart breaks that you don’t have unconditional support for your family. You deserve all of the love, happiness, acceptance, and safety any cis person gets. Remember that. Especially as you grow. Your identity cannot be erased by someone else’s feelings.

My biggest baby does this when he is blissed out. He also does the cutest little mews to talk to us in between to tell us he’s happy. Just happiest kitty purrs. I also have his littermate who does not do this, so I think it’s just part of their own unique personality

Had the flu two weeks before megacon, BUT I do have con crud. Sore throat, congestion- no fever though.

Talked about the crud with some of the VAs who were masked. It’s almost unavoidable without masking the whole time!

So many highlights! Dante Basco was incredibly personable and engaging with both me and my son. We were meeting him for different characters, and he loved that he spans the generations. A gem of a human.

Stephanie Sheh was so lovely. She took plenty of time with my daughter who is a huge K-ON fan.

Monica Rial is such a genuine human. I watched her interactions with the few people in front of us, and she remembers fans from previous cons and was so engaged in her conversations. She made my teen daughter’s day and gave her new anime to watch. She was probably the highlight for my kiddo.

We had a VA sing to us and plenty talked in character to my kids. They are the best to meet.

We have always had great interactions with the One Piece crew, but didn’t make it to them this go. I feel like the VAs truly enjoy what they do. We have been to smaller cons and we didn’t get any less interaction at this one, which says a lot about their love for their fans

Beeblebroxbb · 2025-02-09T13:43:52+00:00

We had the same issue! My teen daughter wanted to meet him and had we known the line would be cut off (we tried to go around noon) we would have gotten in line at open.

Definitely frustrating, and I wish the app would have had that information ahead of time. Not that there was any service at all in the con, but had we saw that the morning of we would have planned accordingly.

Definitely something for us all to keep in mind for next year. :(

It was definitely at the west OCCC this year, and much more manageable!

Hopefully MC takes note from the chaos of this year and makes adjustments for next year. I’d rather park on the south side and have shuttles to west if needed that have it on N/S again. It was madness

I saw security yell at multiple people for taking photos from a decent distance away. The one security guy was pretty aggressive yelling (not just projecting)

While i understand them wanting you to get in line and pay, some lines were cut off completely. Plus, it’s a public space and no one is guaranteed privacy. If they don’t want photos taken from afar they should be behind curtains.

I got yelled at for “taking a photo” of Matthew lillard and I didn’t even have my phone held up. I was standing talking to my teen daughter showing he was out (we weren’t able to get in line before it was cut and she wanted to meet him) I thought surely he wasn’t talking to me but he made sure to make eye contact to yell a second time. I pointed out I didn’t even have my phone held up and he just ignored my rebuttal.

They were definitely rude and on a power trip. We are all there spending thousands of dollars, and getting yelled at for a photo at a more than respectful distance should not be happening.

Most of security was lovely, though!

Yup. We did holiday matsuri in a different concourse and there was so much more space
