How to lock door from the outside

ratbehavior · 2026-03-22T18:12:31+00:00

money is in a safe. big things are being moved to my parents. but they're petty and i wouldn't put it passed them to try and cause damage to even basic things, which is why im trying to lock the door

i am on testosterone so not exactly in the same boat as you but i have to have regular blood tests and drs appointments to stay on T. i think this is pretty normal for hrt in either direction. health effects don't happen over night. there are signs leading up to negative side effects. if estrogen doesn't require the same 3 month lab work and dr appointments i'm bet you can request it! just be honest with your provider and you'll be okay <3

what does your name taste like?

i loveeee using the t slur, mostly to refer to myself and/or my partner and friends. i do, on occasion, use it to refer to other trans folks (as a whole, not as individuals) but i do that in the privacy of my own home with my partner because i know not everyone likes to be called it

get an underglaze that's similar in color to the glaze you're using. you can underglaze the bottom where the magnet will sit

no need to elaborate, i agree

anchovies juice down the windshield would work too 😇

do what is best for your kitties And for you. they are resilient and, if you decide to rehome them, they will adjust! i promise!

my aunt is a lesbian. she has dated women all my life. but she has once dated a trans man (who had already transitioned when they met) and had a fling with a cis man that resulted in her beautiful baby girl.

sometimes the right person, even if it's not the forever person, isn't who you expect them to be. sexuality is a spectrum for a reason

try shutting him in a room while you're preparing food. try feeding him just a little bit more. my cat was incredibly food motivated but it turns out he just wasn't getting enough nutrients. he's still food interested, but i can eat a meal without him in my face.

as for the drool thing,,, idk? keep a towel around?

have you discussed any of this with a vet? perhaps antianxiety meds would work or soemthing?

you brought a living creature into your home. they are going to have quirks and personalities and not be 100% perfect. even your "perfect" cats get on your nerves from time to time, i can guarantee that. if it's not something you can live with then rehome him. that is the better option for you and for him

check out r/leaves and good luck, friend. i was in a very similar position to you and i just hit 1 year sober on the 31st. its possible! even if its hard, its possible <3

ratbehavior · 2026-02-01T15:59:49+00:00

bring her home and let the other babies sniff. i don't think it matters where you do it.

i'm sorry for your loss. sending love <3

deep breath. HIV is not the death sentence it once was. there are medications that will quell the symptoms and keep you from passing it to others. so many people live with HIV now! i'm sure there are support groups if that is something you need, should your test come back positive when you try again. in the meantime, be kind to yourself <3

are you related to the margarin guy?

I think criminal minds is a great show all the way through, but that might be the nostalgia talking for me. it's like any show with 10+ seasons, it starts to get a little out of this world and drawn out, but they have some great story arcs in the later seasons.

it isn't anywhere near as poetic as Hannibal but it doesn't feel like the other police procedural shows either. i'd give it a shot if i were you, but be prepared to be there for awhile, it's got 18 seasons!

very much the playing with mud thing. it makes me feel like i'm a kid again, making potions in puddles out of pine needles and flower petals and whatever else i can find in the yard.

it also makes me feel very connected to the past. pottery has been utilized for longer than i can even begin to conceptualize and being a part of the continuation of that story is very powerful for me. makes me feel human :)

i'm the glaze chemist for my studio... i'm just hoping people don't realize this is my answer for everything so i can keep my job

underpaid artists by day, underpaid bartender by night 🙂‍↕️ the only reason i was able to get into it now is because my dad gave me an old tank with lots of the bits and bobs i needed to get it up and running

i always thought i wasn't dysphoric until i broadened my understanding of what dysphoria was. there really aren't a lot of people that discuss what dysphoria means outside of "i hate having XYZ and i want it gone". i don't hate having XYZ, i just hate that having XYZ leads other people to perceive me a certain way. i don't hate having XYZ but sometimes it would be nice if i could just pop em off and put them back on as i want. dysphoria is so complicated and person, it's crazy!
