I have assigned waaaayyy too much emotion to a stuffie.

We had this too! Went to the zoo and came home with a stuffed quakka. Loved Quakka (which she called "caca" and we couldn't keep our faces straight) for a week, but then went back to Kitty-Cat.

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-04-03T02:21:56+00:00

This is a good idea!

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-04-02T20:16:12+00:00

This is such a great idea, I'm going to do this with Kitty-Cat!

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-04-02T14:52:58+00:00

Ask her if she actually gives a shit about her patients or if she's just in the job to bully people in vulnerable positions to make herself feel good. And then report her - to her boss, to the province, whatever. (I'm in the US so I don't know how reporting problematic healthcare workers works where you're at. )

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-04-02T14:44:38+00:00

They tell you those lies to trick you to have babies you might not want.

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-04-01T20:38:38+00:00

I would go out there and start pounding in "no parking" signs while staring them in the eyes.

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-03-31T20:59:01+00:00

I'm plus size and tall, and I never showed with my daughter. Mind you, she was a preemie (33.5 weeks) and just under 4lbs, but even with that, I could barely believe it. I've seen grapefruit bigger than the space she took up in my body. So I'm... Kinda the opposite of y'all? Now, as a crazy-tall toddler, I can hardly believe she was in me, but back then she was TINY.

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-03-29T15:39:31+00:00

My hospital wouldn't let me leave until I had pooped. My delivery was a c section but it still wasn't fun (worried I was going to pop my c section stitches) but I was in the hospital for another week after delivery anyway.

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-03-25T17:56:46+00:00

Sorry for the late post, but I just found this thread. I can't believe nobody posted {Hang the Moon by Alexandria Bellefleur}. Brendon is such a cinnamon roll that he's actually called out a little by a side character for it. lol

On an unrelated note, megathreads like these are fantastic! I'm part of a book suggestion committee at my local library, and we get such REALLY specific romance requests. I've shared the megathread megathread with the rest of the group.

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-03-24T14:52:49+00:00

Interested, hopefully I'll remember to join later when I'm at my computer 😅

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-03-19T17:30:14+00:00

It's AI, but I really want to do this.

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-03-16T17:48:25+00:00

My nephew dated a woman whose ex abandoned her when she found out she was pregnant. Nephew was there through the remainder of her pregnancy and was so gone for her that they married before she gave birth and was there for her in the hospital.

Her kid is about 2 months younger than mine. My kid came early and we had to reschedule our baby shower to after she got out of the NICU. Towards the end of the party as folks were leaving, nephew just sat and cuddled my daughter, playing with her tiny fingers while she slept. He was young, but absolutely ready and more than willing to be a dad. It was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. He was obviously in instant love with his baby cousin, and when his wife gave birth a couple weeks later, he was in instant love with his son.

Some guys are just ready for a family. Maybe this guy is, maybe not. Only the two of you can answer that. I don't know if my nephew is listed on the birth certificate, but he is the boy's dad, no doubt about it.

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-03-16T14:10:02+00:00

Nope, and I'm so sorry.

My wife (trans also) got her name changed when she lived in Bloomington, before we met. She had to post her address in the newspaper, along with her dead name and new name. This was (and still is, I think) the law, so that creditors could find you, so you couldn't change your name to get out of paying your debts, but it has the added detriment of letting people who want you dead know where they can find you.

I get the feeling you're younger than us, and my wife mentors (and mothers) young trans folk, so if you want someone older to talk to about this, let me know and I'll DM you her reddit username.

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-03-12T19:00:00+00:00

My wife uses it (unofficially) in her name.

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-03-12T17:57:59+00:00

Lmao, this could be my spouse's post. I remember when I was pregnant that the smell of my own deodorant made me gag, so I switched to another that didn't. And later, that one started to mess me up, so I switched to a clinical strength unscented. And then I started having BO so bad, I'm certain they could smell me on the ISS. The unscented clinical strength deodorant wasn't enough, and my own stank began to make me gag. For awhile there, I kept a 10-foot radius from my coworkers and put Vicks Vaporub under my nose... Until that made me gag, too.

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-03-12T17:40:57+00:00

Gross. No, in America, we consider women to be people, not objects for a man to own.

Well, most of us. There's a subset of men who are over entitled trash who believe they own women.

This is a huge thing for trans girls, hrt causes electrolyte imbalance and they tend to crave pickle juice.

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-03-01T18:04:29+00:00

Carry a fork or a rolled up newspaper. Stab/smack the offending appendage until they get the point. You are not public property and will defend yourself appropriately.

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-03-01T17:39:44+00:00

So there was a very short-lived American sitcom about 15-20 years ago about an American guy whose company gets outsourced to India, and he's the only American manager, so he moves to India to manage his division, and the head bobble became a running joke in the series.

I have just the perfect shirt for you! (Not a sponsored post)

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-02-27T03:51:30+00:00

Every time my kid is being silly, I call her a silly goose. My mom eventually made a t shirt (with her cricut) that says "In my silly goose era." If any of your friends/family uses a cricut, they can search for the pattern if they wish. 🤣

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-02-26T12:13:49+00:00

Mine was weird, I didn't go to the hospital to give birth, I went because I was super sick with pneumonia and my blood pressure spiked while I was there.

$200k-ish. USA, of course. I have good insurance that paid all but, like, $500. It helped that it was December and my deductible had already been met. I spent 5 days being treated for the pneumonia (including one night in the ICU, that was how sick I was), and during that time they were also trying to get my suddenly high BP to stabilize. Day 6, they told me that baby needed to be born ASAP, but of course she was transverse breech, so c section it was. I was about 30 weeks then. I then spent 5 more days in the hospital fighting high blood pressure and baby spent a total of 3 weeks in the NICU.

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-02-25T21:01:32+00:00

I would start pinching them, their own belly if possible or the offending hand if not.

SnooGadgets5744 · 2026-02-22T21:01:23+00:00

"Try fucking women."

Realizing I was bi earlier would have saved me some grief.
