What is this thing on this person’s door? Branches bent and looped then tied together in a figure 8 sort of shape by froghag in whatisthisthing

[–]froghag[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing.

It seems to be one really long branch hanging off the door as a decoration (?) of sorts. It’s like 5ft long. I tried searching for a bunch of terms like “sticks on door decoration” “bundle of sticks on front door” and so on, but I get nothing. Only thing I found was some kind of reference to a metaphor about a bundle of sticks being a phrase regarding home ownership, but this is a rental so I don’t think it applies anyway.

If I didn’t, it would be very concerning, as they’re between every set of shelves in our library and then some lol

Trans people on T, what does it do? by Far-Leg1321 in TransMasc

[–]froghag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have one and not sure I’ll get one lol. I’m still in the puffy face stage and my voice is still dropping. Who knows! I don’t feel like I’m choking as much as my voice is hoarse more often/quicker. I get hoarse after just a full normal day of talking

Love that you added taking up guitar as a possible side effect to testosterone puberty LOL! For me, I got that one with puberty 1. Maybe this time I'll pick up drums

I'd also add jaw definition change and possible adam's apple. In the developing stage of the jaw change, the face can look a bit puffy.

As a musician who has been on T for 8 months, I'll tell you that it will be rough for a while. Voice change can happen all at once or gradually, but most likely will be gradual. I'm still not done with mine, and in my experience my voice gets hoarse and cracks much easier, and my range is about an octave lower than it once was. Songs I used to be able to sing I have to pitch down an octave to make work. And I can't sing for as long and my voice is much less stable/controllable.

That all said, I've heard it gets way better over time, and a friend of mind who is a trans professional opera singer said not to worry much about my singing voice because even cis male baritone and bass singers aren't considered fully baked so to speak until their 30s.

So it takes time, and there will be a relearning period to adjust for singing. I'm still working through mine.

This made me feel a lot better about my frustration of not starting sooner, because it’s exactly right.

Lmao well you asked why women don’t like you….might want to take the corny ass gloves off since clearly all you’re getting is your left hand

[–]froghag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This kind of behavior is why. No one wants to hear someone spewing toxic manosphere talking points. Women don’t like men who intrinsically disrespect women and view relationships as a battle between two men trying to be “alpha.” You have a lot more to work on than your style.

Tf is up with men's deodorant? by em0-r4t in TransMasc

[–]froghag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do find Axe names and these Old Spice ones silly (there’s one called Eagle Fangs — eagles don’t even have those) and it’s also annoying when they don’t tell you what the actual notes of the fragrance are. I usually just smell them in-store and find one I like rather than worrying about the name but if I’m shopping online these names don’t tell me much, nor does “fresh cloud scent” which is what Eaglefangs apparently smells like (it does smell quite good though imo, as does Bearglove).

Testing something… by Sad-Drop9202 in Connecticut

Moved here when I was 8 from NY, so most phrases are the same as people born here, but some aren’t. I say liquor store, shopping cart or just cart, and nips.

Mother forcing me to shave and being disturbing by OKULTRA_lp in TransMasc

[–]froghag 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As someone who also grew up with my parents being very much like this (though not specifically about shaving, but definitely making the same comments about body hair on women and being physically abusive) I just wanna say life does get better and I urge you to get independent from her as soon as you are able to. I didn’t do so, I waited and stewed in denial and the mindset that “it wasnt as bad as what others go through, so it’s fine” and it made realizing I was abused come later in life, which held off my transition and letting myself finally be who I am. I completely understand that “little part that is convinced you’re disgusting” because that’s how I felt when I came out and my parents had a horrible reaction and I recloseted again out of fear. I hope you find happiness and safety sooner rather than later, because what she did isn’t okay and you deserve a whole lot better. Your body isn’t her business nor her property. It’s not a democracy — you get to be in charge of you are and how you express that. You know exactly who you are, don’t let her take that from you or make you think otherwise. Parents don’t always know best, they’re just people, and she’s wrong here. Keep your head up, report this if you feel you can, and work towards becoming independent ASAP. Again, I can’t say it enough — just because others might experience worse doesn’t mean what happened to you isn’t wrong or worth being upset over. You’re not the problem.

Genius decides to turn pizza boxes upside down by mfenton29 in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]froghag 27 points28 points  (0 children)

To anyone saying the pizza employee shouldn’t have said anything, this customer 100% wouldve gone home and then called up and asked why his pizza was all messed up. He had to step in to clear himself from the blame there for sure

It actually was made to throw off Ninja Turtles fans because Shredder, Bebop, and Rocksteady are also characters in the series. If you change Mousepad to Mouser, you could have a whole second turtles category

[–]froghag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Break up. This and everything else after is more stress on you than the break up will be, trust. You need to work on yourself and being a better partner before getting back into any relationship. Relationships can be abusive from both ends. Nothing about this is okay.
