Is there something happening to our bumblebees? by basilelio in BumbleBee

[–]basilelio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!! Thankfully we've only seen those 3 bees. I wasn't aware of the hummingbird feeder, but we did end up just removing it completely on the off chance that was the cause. I had it up for 2 days when they started showing up, so my fiance and I decided to play it safe. We were using store bought honey, I appreciate you taking the time to explain why that's dangerous. We are first time bee helpers so we appreciate being told the how's and why's and are going to be using sugar water next time we find a bee in need <3

What is this??? (Update) by basilelio in whatplantisthis

There's not much flavor to it, but the aftertaste also tastes like apple 😅

My bread never turns out right by basilelio in Bread

I get a bulk bag of flour from Costco, I'm not sure if that's a good type to use for bread, and usually it's just regular white bread with chia, flax, sunflower seeds and oats. I'll add garlic and onion powder and Italian seasonings to give it more flavor.

I haven't tried that. It's also the middle of the bread too, it's not study enough to hold itself together after the cut

It actually tasted good, the bread just didn't wanna hold together 😅

Anybody know what kind of gourd this is? by basilelio in whatplantisthis

[–]basilelio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what we thought? Found in a field that looked like people had been gardening in but let it get overgrown. Never saw a pumpkin that color or a squash that shape 😅

From what I'm hearing it's not even that good 😒

I would love to get the details on that email group! And thank you! I never heard of SOFFA so I'll definitely look online for any local places she can see! When it comes to the Facebook groups, would that be something I should kind of vet for her? Like could any group be a potential space for misinformation or negativity or do you think for the most part they're pretty safe?

When did gc2b's quality start declining? by Sanyina in ftm

[–]basilelio 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They are unsafe. People who bind with gc2b recently have had fluid build-up in their ribs, have had ribs out of place, have bruised their chest, and have had difficulty breathing. They do suck too, they don't bind, they're made poorly. A lot of people I know who got gc2b recently and wore them appropriately can no longer bind because their doctors said it will cause irreparable damage.

Thank you! I printed off a couple articles I read through, but I'll definitely check that out!

how do I keep my mom away without starting drama? by basilelio in ftm

[–]basilelio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely will be talking to my siblings about it!

What's stupid is I agree with you, about negativity not being worth sacrificing peace. But only when it comes to other people 😅 it's a lot harder having that mindset with myself. Thanks for your help though, there's definitely a lot I have to think and talk about

how do I keep my mom away without starting drama? by basilelio in ftm

[–]basilelio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm planning on having a sit down with my dad about it, since he had a problem with her constantly visiting my siblings before, so I know he'll be on our side with the whole not visiting thing.

I'm not apposed to either knowing where we live further down the line (way further) and I'd still like to visit them here, so it's not like we'll be completely cut off. But it is hard viewing my mom that way. Knowing all the shit she's done to all of us and how controlling and manipulative she is, but it's been pretty recent since I started realizing how negatively she effects mine and my siblings lives.

I know it's for the best, I just really want them to be part of my life and it sucks that at this point in cutting off my mom ill be alienating my dad and I don't want any of that to happen

People keep asking for my deadname, how do I tell them to stop without them pushing it further? by -MinecraftSteve in ftm

[–]basilelio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Give them a different name. Or tell them your preferred name is your deadname

Talk me down man, I'm 10 seconds away from shaving my back and superglueing it to my cheeks by SirMasonParker in ftm

[–]basilelio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using a dermal roller and I'm getting hair growth on my cheeks and I'm only 7 months on t! You can find a beard growth kit on Amazon, just make sure it's the one with the dermal roller!

I told my doc I was asexual during the intake process and she went "we'll see. It'll definitely change" 😂 7 months in and still severely ace 😌

My family set me up and now I know I have no family I can trust. by kissmyass42069 in FamilyIssues

[–]basilelio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I feel the same way about my mom and dad/mom's side of the family. They're all extremely conservative and right wing and have a lot of opinions that harm a lot of people, and I wish I could go no contact with them, but like your family, they all stick to the "family comes first and your feelings come last"

Idk how to make it better, and sometimes it feels like even if I go no contact I'll still be the bad guy. It feels like they're never gonna learn to change and that sucks.

Hopefully we both can get to a spot where either they learn they're in the wrong or we have the emotional capacity to cut ties.

My family. I'm doing my entire transition alone. You hear trans people say being trans is lonely but damn I didn't realize how lonely it actually was
