Meredith, one of my other hamsters || Trans Megathread from May 12th, 2025 to May 18th, 2025
(hexbear.net)
Hi! I've been extremely tired this week and nearly forgot that I was hosting one so I'm writing this last minute! I couldn't think of anything so I'm going to write about one of my hamsters who is not Biggs; Meredith
Meredith was another hamster of mine from a few years ago during the early days of COVID, and she was the absolute sweetest little creature I had ever met. Very friendly, very gentle. She loved exploring anywhere I put her into and never bit me ~~okay she did once ever~~. She was an absolute sweetheart and bundle of love and was with me during some of the rougher parts of my life
She unfortunately died very suddenly out of the blue one day at a terribly young age showing no symptoms of anything wrong with her prior, which breaks my heart to this very day
I never had her as long as any other hamster of mine but I don't think I had any other hamster touch my heart in quite the same way. I miss you, girl

I just went to the knitting group I’ve joined for the first time today, and it’s been absolutely wonderful. The people there were so damn nice and didn’t care at all that I’m trans. They also gave me a lot of help, which I desperately needed, because I’m still a complete beginner, so I was very grateful for that. The only thing that I had to get used to was that everyone else was twice my age. There are younger people of course, but they couldn’t make it today.
And today is also my 5th anniversary of starting HRT, which still boggles my mind how it’s already been half a decade. I know it shouldn’t surprise me that it feels a lot shorter than the 5 years I had to wait before I could finally start but it still does. Like, if you told me that it’s only been 2 years, I would fully believe you.
The only thing that really annoys me though is that I’m completely overwhelmed by my emotions now. It’s like a tsunami composed of all kinds of emotions hitting me head-on. I wish there was some kind of switch that could turn them off, because I’m having a hard time calming down again.
That sounds so cozy
What are you knitting?
A garter stitch scarf. Very beginner friendly.
Initially I was planning on doing it entirely in pink, but they told me that I don’t have enough wool for that. I only have 2 skeins and apparently I need 4 or 5.
That made me thinking: I have 2 pink skeins. What if I buy 2 light blue and 1 white? That would give me exactly the 5 I need.
So yeah, change of plans. But because of that I need to start over again.
Very cute!
I'm currently knitting a blanket in trans colors, except the white is more like a pastel yellow
An entire blanket? Damn, you must be rich to be able to afford that much wool.
My mom bought the yarn, I am a knitting nepo baby
