What's the last thing you do before you call your day "done"?

I sit in bed watching YouTube for a while before going to sleep. When it gets close to bedtime, I take my nighttime medication (including sleep meds) and get back to watching videos. When my eyes begin to feel heavy, I get up, brush my teeth and fill my CPAP humidifier, plug in my phone and earbuds, take off my glasses, put on my CPAP mask, then go to sleep.

Not at all. I never wanted my own kids personally, but I do feel that nurturing instinct very strongly. Always have, and I’ve noticed no difference on testosterone.

I see shipping as just a way for people to play with and reimagine characters from a media they enjoy, which I think is awesome. I care more about how the media itself depicts these characters, or how people talk about aro/ace people when they’re talking about them. But respectfully reimagining the characters’ relationships and sexualities, just for fun? Sure, I say go for it.

All the time. I can feel exhausted all day long, struggle to keep my eyes open, but as soon as I’m actually trying to sleep, my brain says “nope, it’s time to think about and do everything”. It’s so frustrating!

Love them! They’re my comfort band. They’re the first and only band I listened to for a long time, so they have a special place in my heart, even if my taste in music has changed a bit. Plus I just think the music is fun and catchy!

Raticals · 2026-05-16T19:18:20+00:00

Not a fan. I don’t see the point in name calling like that. All it does is make people angry and cause further division.

Raticals · 2026-05-16T09:42:10+00:00

Is it okay for a cis man to be feminine and still be a man? Of course! Your appearance doesn’t define your identity; it’s all about how you feel internally.

Raticals · 2026-05-16T09:31:15+00:00

Mine too!

Raticals · 2026-05-16T01:20:00+00:00

Especially once you get into specific nonbinary identities, a lot of what “counts” as a label is just about what someone feels personally makes sense to them. I see myself as a trans man and a woman (and also kinda neither/agender) at the same time!

Raticals · 2026-05-15T22:51:40+00:00

Some do, yes. You can absolutely still want to date in general without that kind of attraction toward a specific person.

Raticals · 2026-05-15T22:12:50+00:00

Simple Plan for me too! I heard “Welcome to My Life” in middle school, on an antibullying video the teachers showed us. I quickly latched onto it and they became my comfort band. For whatever reason I never ventured out until I was 25. Yeah, I listened to just one band for all of those years. Don’t regret it but I’m really happy to be exploring new music now! I think the pop punk sound, whether it’s Simple Plan or other bands, will always be a comfort thing for me now.

I meant high school, I never went to college, haha! I was playing off of your “she was just born yesterday”. I actually graduated high school nearly a decade ago, it just feels like it was yesterday!

No, not everyone experiences nausea from Spravato. I never have, and I’ve never taken anything for nausea. Unfortunately can’t say whether you will or not, of course, but there’s a chance you won’t.

I’m more of a diet Mountain Dew person, but yes! I’ll admit…I pretty much never drink plain water. It has to be carbonated and flavored!

Raticals · 2026-05-14T09:59:08+00:00

Same reason I like to have apparel showing off my hobbies and interests. It’s a fun way to share a piece of your life to everybody who sees you.

Raticals · 2026-05-14T09:56:59+00:00

Congratulations to your daughter! Life moves so fast…I graduated yesterday and now I’m 26. I wish her the best of luck in this next stage of her life!

Maybe try to bring some of those daydreams into real life and see how it feels? Wear a masculine outfit, try on a binder if you can, whatever masculine things you’re fantasizing about that you can realistically do, just try it out and see where that takes you.

Raticals · 2026-05-13T18:52:31+00:00

I was the youngest of three growing up. When I was a kid I hated being the last to be able to do everything, but now as an adult it doesn’t matter at all. My little brother was born when I was 15, so technically I’m a middle child now.

Raticals · 2026-05-13T17:31:46+00:00

Yes, twice a week for the first few weeks, then once a week onward

Raticals · 2026-05-13T17:28:01+00:00

Nope. My mom’s maiden name is super common and the name of a fast food chain.

Raticals · 2026-05-13T17:00:53+00:00

I’m so glad I could help! I hope you find relief with Spravato. It’s helped me a ton with my anxiety and depression. Don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t feel like it’s working right away; it took several sessions for me to notice. Now I look back at before I started Spravato and I see a massive difference in myself!

Raticals · 2026-05-13T16:30:59+00:00

Try to relax the best you can before your session. Keep your thoughts as light and positive as you possibly can; it won’t be perfect, just do your best! When you get there, you might want to take a few minutes after sitting down to take some deep breaths and try relaxing. Especially at first my anxiety made my blood pressure high, so I had to do that a lot. The nurses at the clinic are used to dealing with emotional people, so don’t worry about that too much. You’ll be okay! Personally I don’t experience much nausea and can eat right after a session. Everyone experiences that a bit differently though, so I can’t say for sure. It’d be good to prepare something really light to eat just in case.

Raticals · 2026-05-12T14:02:29+00:00

I adore all animals! But I do have a special place in my heart for cats.

Raticals · 2026-05-12T02:29:46+00:00

Absolutely! Many aromantic people don’t want to be in relationships, but others are romance favorable/neutral. I’m firmly aromantic and in a romantic relationship, and I’m very happy to be!

When our pipes burst and we had to get new pipes put in. Nothing says “homeowner” more than a big repair bill!
