Going to a show in a few weeks, I've only seen them with BMTH before and the vibe was perfect, the pit was crazy and everyone was looking out for each other. However, I'm not super familiar with the MIW/Lorna Shore fanbase. My main questions are:

What's the energy like? I saw a video online a few days ago and the pit at that show was just terrible, everyone had their phones out and nobody was moving around at all during a breakdown. Is this common now?

And

How trans friendly are we? I know the band itself is super lgbtq+ friendly, but as a trans guy in the US who passes just enough to be clocked as trans (but not enough to be seen as cis) I still have my reservations going out in public, especially to large events where I don't know anyone. How are we doing in this regard? Thanks all

This year is my first time going to pride and unfortunately I'll be going alone. Does anyone have tips for me as someone who doesn't often go to events and has social anxiety?

As someone from a small town not used to the city it'd be much easier with a friend but none of mine are available tomorrow. Just looking for some advice. Thanks

Hey friends, can you help me figure out how I feel about the name kaylynn? Could this spelling ever pass as masculine or would I need to change the spelling (ie. Kalyn kalen etc.) for reference it's pronounced KAY-lyn not kay-LYN. Thinking I could go by Kal for short.

Mostly I want to know what you think of the name when you hear/see it and maybe use some sentences with masculine terms/pronouns. Thanks :)

For context I'm 19 ftm looking to go on testosterone hrt. I have aleopecia universalis and am wondering if anyone's gone on testosterone and noticed a difference in their growth patterns while on the treatment. Just curious to hear if anyone's experienced something similar, I know it's super niche.

My parasocial relationship with death

Began before I knew what life could be

Idealized as freedom

When no options were afforded me

A child

I was a child asking my mother

Why I wouldn't go to heaven

If I slit my own throat

And wondered why it bothered her

That I would wish to skip the line

And fast track to eternal happiness

In adolescence

The void convinced my tired mind

That life was better short

Ended before my rights became a question

And my body was no longer mine

How freeing it would be to

Bash my head against a concrete walk

Or fall until my worries cease to matter

My peers would feel better after my departure

Yes, death would be ideal.

My mom (40f) was recently diagnosed as prediabetic and has also been very recently disabled. I (19) am her oldest child and have been acting as her caregiver since then. My question is how can I best help her navigate these new issues? Looking for advice on easing the transition, how to/what to food prep, and just generally how I can make her more comfortable with dramatically shifting her diet and relying so heavily on another person, though any advice is appreciated. Thanks guys!
