How far away do I need to be to observe a nest?

These two very beautiful robins have laid a nest in the bush in front of my front door. I originally only checked twice- once to originally see if the nest was being used (it was fresh so yes!) and to see if there was eggs and if they’re okay.

The front door is obviously a high traffic area so Ive been trying to reduce my usage of it and not letting my dogs through the front door.

Anyways- all is well. They have two eggs so far and theyre plump and colorful, so I’m going to stop looking at them as I don’t want to disturb the robins anymore.

However of course I have curiosity so I was wondering if theres a safe distance to observe them? If not I simply won’t try to observe them, everything seems fine and I’m already trying to give them as much space as I can. I just don’t want them abandoning their nest especially due to anything I can help.

Sorry if this is weird or ignorant I know nothing about birds but I do love nature so if theres a safe way to go about it I’d really love that. If not then I’ll just let them do their thing and hope for the best!

Probably gonna delete later but to catch you up to speed-

6th grade I started homeschooling- if you can even call it that. I stopped going to irl because I was being harassed for being transgender by peers and it would only get worse by middle school.
Up until senior year I basically did nothing. Lied and made up papers to the government to keep them off our backs. I attempted here and there but I’d end up giving up-

I missed out on my teenage years and I didnt do anything for all of those years. I graduated high school by again- forging papers- and it made me feel terrible. Everyone in my senior year was so accomplished, had so many friends, and didnt need to lie to get there. Nobody knew me and I had no experiences or friends.
I remember us filling out our resumes in class and my teacher looked at me pitifully as I said I had NOTHING to put on it. That I did NOTHING. It sucked

I wouldn’t say I’m crazy uneducated but I definitely struggle especially in math- I cant even do algebra 1.

I kinda just have been dealing with college one step at a time. Im not doing terrible but Im not doing great by any means. I’m fairly behind (two semesters) and do need help but my GPA isnt CRAZY low (2.9)

Idk. I basically feel so behind and while I get why I didnt go to school before I transitioned I just wish my parents didnt just let me quit. Especially on the math. I didnt help as I let it happen but idk. Ill never get those years back and its so embarrassing to say “I dont know” when youre asked about stuff everyone else learned.
Im glad I at least had senior year but again- everyone had accomplishments and friends and I had nothing. No teams, no clubs, no friends from childhood. I was alone and stupid. still kinda am

Hi! I’ve started to get more into gothic makeup, but I think pure white is too much for me, so I’d like to find a foundation thats more translucent but still white.
Something like Haus Labs? Anyways, I can barely find any- especially affordable. They’re all so strongly white or $35+. If anybody has any recommendations please let me know!

In my original post I explained how I had a minor skintag and it was cut off and sutured.

Unfortunately this has been an awful experience. Just bloody, messy, and it might just come back (though someone did give me the tip of using silicone gel once its slightly more healed?)

Anyways. If I have to do this again is there any alternative treatments that are more likely to be permanent? And maybe not as messy?
I dont want this again. I dont want this surgery again.

And if you have to ask- No living it is not an option. I can’t explain why.

Any help is appreciated :(

So unfortunately I had 3 years of female puberty before I went on blockers + hormones, which caused me to have more fat on my sides and stomach.

I’m not worried about my sides so much, but I hate the stomach fat. No matter what I do, no matter how fit I am or skinny it will always be there

I get it protects the uterus, but, I am having that removed later this year (hopefully). It reminds me of my uterus indirectly and causes both my dysmorphia and dysphoria to eat away at me.

So, whats the best way to go about this? I know theres body masculinization surgery, but I don’t know if I’d need something related to that.

I’d like something that doesnt cause scarring or something I can easily heal over. I have too many scars to count and I just dont want anymore. It feels so round n almost feminine despite my more masculine “fitter” body.

I dont have much (but a good handful), I’m fairly skinny being 130-140 pounds at 5’8, but it still a noticeable gut, so I wouldn’t need anything crazy.

Sorry this is so long n maybe stupid sounding I’m not well versed in the (plastic) surgery world and it’s really late lawl :,D

So I recently got skintag removal surgery, and right before he did it my surgeon informed me while he was happy to do this it would probably come back. Unfortunately I just wanted this gone and had already paid the copay so I went ahead with it.

And now? I really don’t wanna have that surgery again- the pain was tolerable of course but I don’t see myself constantly having this surgery (if thats even possible) for many different reasons.

Is there any alternative treatments you all have had that have seemed more permanent? I’m not looking for experimental DIY stuff, I’m not one to take my own pair of surgical scissors back there, I’m looking for any medical treatments that WON’T make this thing come back (If it even does, let’s hope it doesn’t!)

This thing impacted my hygiene and my sex life and if it comes back I’m just gonna feel defeated and embarrassed.
