I had short hair my entire childhood and teenage years, never felt comfortable with long hair when I was a girl. now I feel really comfortable expressing myself more so I grew my hair out for 2ish years, it got all the way down to my shoulders and I loved it! (see pic on last slide)

however, it had become rly costly and just stressful to manage. since my hair is really curly and thick, styling it while it's long is a nightmare and takes up so much time. as beautiful as it is, it's such a hassle for me.

I might grow it out again in the future but for now I gave myself this rly cute cut that I've done several times in the past but not since transitioning. it's a more feminine cut which I prefer. turned out pretty decent I think for someone who has no idea how to cut hair professionally.

I came home from work yesterday morning and I saw my boy Plum on the door of his enclosure. he is i7 and I got him at the beginning of March from a local reptile expo. he's had 1 molt with me so far. he is pretty shy and hides up in the corner of his enclosure most of the time but sometimes he gets adventurous.

I figured it would be a perfect time to try and hold him while he was out and about. so I took a paintbrush and gently nudged him off the door and onto my hand. he explored for a few mins and then I put him back but I think he is rather chill. previous to this I had never had a pet spider of any kind and had only ever handled wild jumpers, which have a way different temperament than captive bred ones.

I hope I get more opportunities to hold him in the future! I just never want to force him out of the enclosure just to hold him so I wait til he's moving around :3
