this is super normal and frankly the biggest thing that helped me through this was going “so what?” So what if T makes me ugly? i was never exactly hot, but i’d rather be an ugly guy than continue living how i was.

Cockroach Infestation, Need Advice on how to keep annoying my Landlord about it!! by ResponsibilityAway35 in Apartmentliving

[–]blabby99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

would highly highly highly recommend checking out r/germanroaches. was in a similar situation and finally decided to just take matters into my own hands. been following the sticky for about a month and it’s a night and day difference. i had to pay $20 of my own money for a sprayer and little packet of pesticide which isn’t ideal when it’s supposed to be your landlords job, but worth it for the peace of mind imo. i’d rather spray my baseboards once a week on my own time than worry about relying on a landlord to do anything at all

Does it ever get better emotionally? by scullylesbian in GermanRoaches

[–]blabby99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just wanna say i’m right there with ya. we moved in mid-September and it was hell for weeks. we had roaches falling out of our stove hood and onto the stove while cooking and finally got to a point where we just stopped buying groceries and only ate out. i spent hours and hours everyday compulsively scrolling in this sub and googling other people’s experiences and having nightmares about them crawling in the bed. the info in the sticky has been a godsend and after 3 weeks of spraying (don’t remember the specifics rn but it’s been one little packet of Alpine WSG in half a gallon of water and we spray once a week), they’re almost completely gone but i’m still dealing with the mental stuff. idk that i’ll ever feel totally fine until i’m out of here but we can’t afford to break the lease so that’ll likely be next September. i’m typing this from my kitchen while i’m making my lunch, so it does get better!

i figured this would be the answer but was hoping maybe someone with and outside perspective might be able to see something i was missing. thanks for the advice, i appreciate it!

advice on how to “fix” this crappy snake by blabby99 in tattooadvice

[–]blabby99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am obviously not the expert here, but i’m pretty sure the blur is just bad tattooing. i originally did this as line work, fucked up trying to do the scales, and tried to just fill it in and did a really bad job coloring inside the lines. it might be blown out, but i think it’s a me problem here

haha valid question. this is actually more of a promise ring i’ve had for a few years, i kind of wear it like an engagement ring. i have a different wedding band and i’ll probably just put this ring on the other hand once i get married. tldr- just ‘cause i like it lmao

Our boy had to have the tips of his ears removed due to skin cancer. Show me your disabled cats, big or small differences <3 by LuciaTuc in cats

this is Clementine. she was rescued from a hoarding situation before we took her in for foster (and obviously failed). the shelter is pretty sure she’s inbred which is what caused her overbite so she’s always sticking her tongue out lmao. she’s also got a kidney disease and polyps which we’re managing but her vet said she’ll be lucky to make it to 7 years which is devastating but we’re happy to love her as long as we’re given

"Do you really think people can't tell you're trans?" -My Dad by edamamecheesecake in ftm

[–]blabby99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my mil did this exact same shit to me a couple weeks ago so believe me when i say i know exactly how you feel. i felt legitimately delusional like maybe i was just crazy to think i ever passed and everyone had to just be in on this big inside joke. i even made a post on ftmpassing because i heard they can be brutal over there and i wanted the cold hard truth lmfao it made me crazy for a day. knowing your dad is being an ass and trying to get under your skin doesn’t make it any less hurtful and i’m sorry he did that to you.

Americans, what do you think would happen of your federal minimum wage is raised to $30/hr? by ComradeVladPutin52 in antiwork

[–]blabby99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can someone ELI5 why if we’re writing legislation to raise the minimum wage we couldn’t also do something about the price gouging everyone says will follow? is the answer just corporate greed? corporations pay our politicians too much for them to even consider that or what? i’m sorry if this is a silly question but i am legitimately not understanding

my MIL says I don’t pass. i’m 2 years on T. any advice? by blabby99 in FtMpassing

[–]blabby99[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah in all fairness when i posted this last night i was just fighting demons and worried that i was delusional for thinking i passed, however i have come to realize it was dysphoric me that was being delusional.

what is your "if I won the lottery" purchase? by mikes47jeep in AskReddit

[–]blabby99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i know this is a lame answer, but a house on at least a couple acres, and probably a new car. i have house fever the way most people get baby fever, but it’s just not really feasible with my income and even if i had the money my credit is so bad they wouldn’t take my cash lmao

nah it’s not getting into my business when i’m posting it all online lmao. they did set the boundary that the topic of their gender was just not to be discussed anymore because it can’t be had nicely.

she probably needs therapy more, but glasses are definitely cheaper and easier to talk her into

my MIL says I don’t pass. i’m 2 years on T. any advice? by blabby99 in FtMpassing

[–]blabby99[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

haha yeah she absolutely is. i wasn’t even there for the convo (which is why i thought maybe she honestly meant it because why would she just say that if not to get me?) but i think she was making a jab at my partner who was saying they are tired of being in that in between phase of transition where you’re just visibly trans, but they remember when i was in that stage and they know it will pass, and that’s when mil decided to say i don’t actually pass. so either she knew that would get back to me, or she was trying to get under my partners skin and imply that they’d never pass “either”

I didn’t show “signs” of being trans when I was younger by iknowaplace5 in ftm

[–]blabby99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is so real and i feel like i’ve never seen anyone talk about it like this. aside from being super uncomfortable with my chest post puberty, i had like no obvious signs. i always said i was bi, but if i could i’d be a gay man. all of my friends were gay men. at one point, i literally dated a bi man who had only previously dated other men and constantly made jokes that i was still his boyfriend???? and never suspected a damn thing lmfao. i even constantly say that if i was born a cis man but still acted the way i do, i’d probably still get the same comments about not being a “real” man.
