Suitable cage setup?

For my 2 female fancy rats, made sure to cover ramps and I don’t like to take out the ramps as my little blind albino falls frequently (not now since I have lots of nets and hammocks). They absolutely love it and are so active in it, also due to the weather I have included a ceramic dish and also bought two cooling mats for them which one is visible underneath the white rat.
I’m aware there isn’t a huuuuuge amount of floor space but I hope the enrichment etc makes up for it…also they will be getting daily free roam time when I move out in a few weeks.
They have a lovely little water fountain as well as lots of water sources which I change daily.

Please if you have any recommendations on how to make this even more of a rat haven for my girlies pls let me know!

Why I left the Left

So I live in the UK, and had verrrrrryyyyyy predatory parents who were far left and mocked Charlie Kirk’s death which after my dad did, I did too but then realised abt ten mins later “wtf am I doing”

So a little bit about me first off, I am 18 in a few weeks and will likely vote for Lib Dem’s, I am a transexual man who is due to also go on hormones in a few weeks and I am bisexual.
Thanks to blaire white if had some incredible enlightenment about how damaging far left trans ideology has become especially towards women.
I acknowledge I will never be able to change my sex and I know that people will call me she until I look the male part when I’m on testosterone. I do my best to “pass” as a man and don’t do any of that extroverted colourful stuff and expect ppl to see me as masculine…

I do not think it’s ok for trans women to go into women’s spaces, we should have accessible disabled toilets for all transgender people and hey! I lovvvvveeee a disabled toilet, they’re very private and clean! I have never felt the urge to invade a male bathroom either. Same as changing rooms. And I don’t believe this is because of “transgender sex crimes in bathrooms” I just believe this on a comfort level, children and women especially should not feel forced to include a trans woman into their bathroom and private spaces.

In terms of sport, let’s just honestly make a trans only sport! It’s okay to have separate things without invading single sex sports! We can’t deny the fact that women and men have different biology and therefore different sport abilities, it’s factual.

I think no one should be able to transition under the age of 18, hormone blockers should be very very limited to those who truly need them.

I think to be transgender you need gender dysphoria

I think the whole 72 gender think is a mockery

You CANNOT get upset when someone thinks you look feminine when you’re wearing bright jewellery, a maid dress, uncut hair and just look like a girl. If you are happy presenting that way then bro ur probably not a trans man.

I am a TRANS man, I am not a man, I also don’t consider myself a woman, I am biologically female which I cannot change. I agree with blaire, I get called he/him because I look like a dude and I’m comfortable living like one.

Transgender women pretending to have periods and being hyped up about being cat called is DISGRACEFUL and a mockery and very sexist.

Transgenderism was never an issue all those years ago but due to the recent woke reclamation it is an issue. Lefties you are taking your own rights.

Yes you can be racist to white people, i have seen many black people be racist to white people. I had a friend who would make us bow down and give her gifts on black history month and would constantly say “do this or you hate black people” why should I be punished for something my ancestors probably didn’t do…

Oh and cancel culture is bullshit for the most part, I got cancelled and hated online because I listened to an artist who has an alleged abuse claim

I used to be very closed minded and a left tard and just disrespectful, I used to mock all religions, mock the right and wish them dead but now I’ve realised wtf that’s all so wrong. I’m a Buddhist, I’m smack bang in the center of politics and honestly am happier than I have ever been! I never wish violence on anyone ever, punch nazis is stupid, kill trump is stupid, rip Charlie Kirk, barely anyone should ever be punished for their political views UNLESS it’s the moustache man who caused a genocide and maybe North Koreans fella

How to deal with online slander

So I started a charity for sexual abuse survivors to be able to feel comfortable and make friends in a discord, it got 72 members and I thought they were all lovely…
Flash forward to a couple days ago and I get a dm from one of the admins who I had been so lovely towards and they said “how can u listen to this artist and not support them?” Of course I responded respectfully and said I didn’t support them I jst related to her old music (the artist is Melanie Martinez who is an ALLEGED abuser) I was then slammed and called a victim blamer, abuse supporter which btw I have been through many abusive situations and I do not endorse it wtaf…

Anyway I thought that was it but then I wrongfully allowed the discussion to continue into the servers general chat which was wrong of me but as someone with ptsd arguments are detrimental on my health and so I couldn’t handle it alone, I got DMs from 4 other people that same day claiming to support me and love me (I am autistic so I assume everyone wants to be my friend, even ppl that are bullies, can’t pick up sarcasm) and then I found out they were teaming with the admin. One of the friends continued to make a fake account and comment on one of her videos pretending to be me by imitating things I had said to the admin like calling her childish…the comment said “you are an ugly childish vile person” pretty much and now ppl think I’ve said that…

What’s worse is that then my first name and my discord username and server was plastered on a public TikTok account with 1k followers where I was labelled as an abuser defender and a creep and so I had no choice but to delete both my account and server…which made me feel terrible as it has been such a nice safe space for all the other members and I had to take that away from them. I choose to keep my name off most platforms in case:
A. School bullies find me
B. Abusive family finds me (which they have done)
And I mentioned this to the admin after she posted my name and she did not care and continued to post private DMs publicly…

I am so hurt by all of this and what’s worse is I have a very debilitating form of ocd that constantly makes me feel like a bad person, even for things I haven’t done. This situation has taken away a safe space for me and others, a beautiful name I wanted to make into a charity for abuse survivors and my personal account.

I truly feel horrid about all the things said about me online even though they aren’t true and I can provide text screenshots to prove this. I’ve felt so low and disgusted and frankly wanting to well…disappear.

Cancel culture sucks, I want to listen to music, I want to eat from places, use brands, buy clothes but it feels like I can never do that anymore because some person will take me down and call me names.

The TikTok account is @burymeinprettypinkroses_
Pls report both recent videos as harassment

And pls, if anyone has anything supportive to say I’d love to hear it

Pathways Supported living

Gosh I really hope someone can help me out here I’ve searched far and wide and can’t find anything on this matter…
So I’m 17 (18 in early September) and I’ve been offered a place at curo pathways supported living because well…I’m homeless pretty much according to my social worker. So if they have a room available it’s likely I’ll be told to move in with 2 days notice and that’s great but the problem is I have pets.

I have 2 well trained and kept rats who are as good as gold and I clean their cage as and when I should and make sure they’re looked after and honestly they don’t actually smell too bad. Now in order to keep my rats in my supported room I must acquire a letter from either my gp or mental health assessor stating that they are “emotional support animals” so I reached out to my gp last Tuesday and asked, haven’t heard anything back, then reached out to my CAMHS assessor and asked, could be ages until I hear anything from them so wtf do I do…I don’t wanna leave without them because they really do help when I’m anxious, smart little creatures they are.

Also if ANYONE has any idea about what it’s like in there, day to day or I would REALLLYYY like to know what the average room looks like

Please god someone help me out here

Took me 5 years to talk about CSA, police dropped it after weeks

I’m 17 (was 13 at the time) ftm and my father is M 35ish (30ish at the time)and moved into foster care after suffering abuse from my mother at 5. I was in foster care for 8 years and was given the opportunity to live with my biological father who has had nothing to do with my mother since I was 2ish. I moved into my dad’s house in the summer of 2021 just a couple months before my 13th birthday (which is important).
On my 13th birthday me,my dad,stepmom and half sister went to a safari park during the day and it was great.
We then got back home and at 11pm me and my dad were talking, this was a common occurrence as I have intrusive thought OCD and would often confess my thoughts to my dad as he was my safe person and would always reassure me. Anyways the night of my birthday we just had a general conversation and then I asked him what he was thinking about because he looked very “out of it” and he said something that has scarred me forever. He turned to me and said “would you want the dogs to e*t you out” of course I said I was confused as to what that means so I asked “what does that mean?” And he described in detail, then he asked if I would want to, I said no cz what the fuck? And he kept saying “are you sure?” And when I said no he said “it’s just your skirt that made me think it” I then went downstairs about ten mins later after going to bed and caught masterbating, which I would say usually is never an issue but the timing… after saying that to me? Weird. He then continued to say “please hurry and leave- it’s twitching” obviously meaning his genitals. And then gave gross advice on how to pleasure myself with vaseline.
I never showed any skin again around that man.

I was made to keep it a secret because he thought his wife would divorce him and so I did for a while but then I told my step mum who I thought would support me, newsflash- she didn’t. She actually defended him and said it was his “intrusive thoughts” which I know is bs because I know that intrusive thoughts are thoughts that you DONT want to act on, my dad wanted to act on his.

March this year I finally spoke up to someone else, this someone was a person that I had moved in with and felt safe to speak up about what my dad did, I ended up having the bravery to report it to police as well, hoping they would take me seriously. I went for a police interview and it felt really promising for a few weeks. But then I get a visit from the police about a month later and they say “we won’t be continuing this investigation due to lack of evidence” what damn evidence was I supposed to give? People don’t tend to make that stuff up about their fathers, especially people that have been previously abused.

It’s been a couple months since I was told the case was filed and I’m so bloody angry, it took so much bravery to speak up and for what? It took be shut down after a month? Safe to say birthdays are now a grizzly reminder of that day and I will never get closure for his actions.

This man is a predator, an incestuous freak and a zoophile. UK police love defending people like that apparently so can someone tell me how tf I can get closure from this…
