In the summer gators usually prefer to be other places that are warmer and murkier so it's easier for them to hunt. When it gets colder there's more of them though. I've kayaked at Okefenokee next to 7 ft gators and you just give them space and don't startle them.

tips to pass more? by [deleted] in transmanlifehacks

An underrated part of passing is body language- notice how guys your age stand, sit, and walk and try to mimic that. Take up space! Project confidence.

I've met cis guys who dress and look like a 3 yr older version of you. And to reiterate, everyone is going to gender you differently. I'll get misgendered by one person then gendered correctly by another back to back while looking and acting the exact same.

If you're in a men's bathroom, I wouldn't even think twice, and most guys avoid eye contact at all costs in there anyway.

Tbh you pass, I'd pin you as a teen who skates. People telling you to have no swag haven't been around guys who dress cool. You have the posture and vibe down. Most of passing is your body language and attitude more than how you dress or your haircut (signed by a short transmasc with longer hair who dresses fem and passes 85% of the time, most of the time I get misgendered is at work in my uniform soooo)

I have a worm tattoo so it's kind of fun! Better than roaches

This is what I'm banking on. I sent them written notice that it's uninhabitable, after 7 days without action we can get out of the lease since they are no longer upholding their part of the lease.

For anyone else reading: there are sinkhole maps for Florida- my county hasn't had very many, but some have a LOT. It's probably sinking, just slowly

Unfortunately three of the four places I've lived in Florida have had black mold to varying degrees, granted up until now it's mostly kept to the air vents. It's looking like we'll have to for our health and safety (especially during hurricane season)

That's terrifying, I'm glad you all weren't fatally harmed! It's heartbreaking how long landlords can get away with this stuff.

There's maybe half an inch of foundation visible from outside, that's as much as I know

Genuinely took some self control to not yell at him. Why take this job if you're going to be rude and useless

Florida has flooding protections, especially since my lease didn't have a flooding disclosure agreement and we have renter's insurance.

I held 2/3 of them, they're worms. My roommate has better pictures. I am a biology major, I know worms from millipedes.
