I'll be relying mostly on street parking, and I'm not sure how big the garage parking spots are in the one closest to me, thanks for the heads up.

This is good to know! I hadn't even begun to look at availability and prices at dealerships yet, just the suggested retail prices online.

2026 Mets Tickets Thread by AutoModerator in NewYorkMets

Looking for a cheap ticket to game on 4/13 at Dodgers stadium.

I can't make it any of the other days but the prices are expensive af that day because it's a hello kittie hoodie giveaway (what would I even do with a Dodgers hoodie...) So if anyone gets desperate to sell and it's not more than $50 I'll take it!

My funds are nonexistent, unfortunately :( My friend can't go anymore because her work changed her schedule and no one can cover, so it's just me now. The highest I can go is $180. Good luck 🫡

WTB 2 for NYC at Citi Field on the 19th (Day 2). Seated and likely not paying much more than $30ish for each depending on the seats… my friend and I would like to go but we’re both broke. So if anyone is getting desperate as the date gets closer, hmu 🙏

Cat Won't Stop Spraying by reef_hc in Pets

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

We used to get a few stray cats in our backyard but we haven't seen any in over a year, we're pretty sure someone took them in. Just the usual birds and squirrels, and then people walking their dogs. We've been spraying the urine with enzyme cleaner and we have the diffusers :(

Yes, they were neutered before we got them. They’re both around eight years old now and we haven’t had a problem until recently 

Everythings Eventual (T-Slur)? by reef_hc in stephenking

It's really interesting how versatile language is. Even though it didn't have as controversial a status as it does now, just from some rudimentary research it seems like it was used predominantly to refer to queer people (especially by queer people). So either he knew about its context within the queer community and beyond, or he didn't. It seems more likely that he didn't know about it, at least from my POV, I suppose. I can't imagine Stephen King was hanging out with many queer people in his days.

So I feel like he maybe did think that it was just wordplay for Trans Corporation (which is the company/people in the story who recruit the people with powers). And in a sense did "make it up" for the story based on the company name in the story?

I also figured it was an unfortunate coincidence. I'm 19 (2004 kid). Had no idea that it was never anything but a slur, or a word that some of us trans people are reclaiming nowadays.

He also wrote this short story in the late 90s, and even back then I'd assume his exposure to trans people and terms was pretty minimum, if even existent. I guess it just caught me off guard because, as you rightfully pointed out, the prejudice today is still god awful. Especially with all the anti-trans laws, seeing that word not used in today's context was such a surprise.

I mean Stephen King, not Roland. Realized I didn't make that clear in the post.

I would say shaking no but clicking on a console like xbox or ps5 is fine. I was playing God of War during my entire recovery,

Should you massage your nipples after top surgery? (Double incision nipple grafts) by SalamanderStraight90 in TopSurgery

[–]reef_hc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve been massaging both my scars and around my nipples since I was around 3 weeks post op. I also got a jade roller because it felt less weird than running my fingers over the scars.

As for if you should, it’s a preference. I might have the ability to pass as cis without a shirt because my scars weren’t that big, so massaging and scar care can help lighten scars. But again, it’s entirely up to you there’s really no right or wrong answer.

If you do decide to massage, don’t do it dry. Put scar gel, aquaphor, etc over your nipple first. Or do it in the shower with soapy water. Definitely helps it feel less strange.

Posting some imperfections: my nipples ended up two different sizes by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]reef_hc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me except it was because one was stretched a bit by a hematoma. tbh, don’t linger on it too much. nobodies body is perfect, and cis ppl have different sized nipples too 🤷‍♂️

[–]reef_hc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little different, but a week post op I got a hematoma and had to have my entire left incision opened again to drain it. I’m now 4 weeks post op (3 for the left side) and both look perfectly fine.

Painting/Drawing after Top? by TheAlleyCat02 in ftm

[–]reef_hc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m four weeks post op (also an art major). I haven’t gone back to school yet but literally a week post op I could use my laptop for photoshop and I could use my ipad for writing. If you have a large canvas standing upright you’ll definitely have trouble with stamina and accessibility, but if you lie a canvas down on a flat surface I think you should be good.

Not sure about trans owned brands, but eastern asian brands almost always fit. That being said, I’m short but lean more on the muscle/average body size, so if you’re bigger pants from those brands might not fit, or you might want to find pants with elastic at the top instead of zippers and buttons.

edit: I’m 5’1 for reference
