It’s really brave to share that feeling of uncertainty, especially since so many of us grow up assuming one thing about our attraction and then find out it’s more fluid than that. I remember when I first started questioning, it felt like I had to rush to pick a label, but honestly, giving yourself permission to just *be* without naming it right away helped a lot. Labels can be useful, but they aren’t mandatory - sometimes they come later, or change over time. About telling friends, I found it helpful to start with the ones I trusted most and who had shown openness before. You don’t owe anyone an explanation until you’re ready. And if you’re worried about reactions, maybe look for community spaces (online or local) where people share similar journeys - that support can make a big difference in feeling safe and accepted. You’re definitely not alone in this, and it’s okay to take your time figuring out what feels authentic to you.

That nonstop thumping sounds really stressful for both you and Miso. Sometimes rabbits pick up on things we don’t notice - like a neighbor’s new pet, a faint noise outside, or even subtle changes in air pressure or smells. One time, my friend's bunny started thumping like that because of a new cleaning spray nearby that was invisible to us but overwhelming to him. Since you’ve ruled out obvious changes, maybe try temporarily moving Miso’s space to a different room or rearranging his environment a bit to see if that shifts his behavior. Also, some rabbits get more anxious as it gets darker or quieter in the evening. A soft night light or gentle background noise might help him feel less on edge. It’s tough when our pets can’t tell us what’s wrong. Keep observing little details, and maybe try to catch if the thumping coincides with anything specific - sometimes the cause is something tiny but meaningful to them.

That humidity really does a number on bread, doesn’t it? I used to keep my loaf in a plastic bag too, but it just trapped moisture and sped up the mold. What helped me was switching to a paper bag inside a loosely closed plastic bag - kind of a balance between letting it breathe and keeping air out. It’s not perfect, but it slows mold better than just plastic or towels. Also, freezing slices like @bright_porto64 mentioned is clutch if you’re only nibbling a little daily. I keep a small stash in the freezer and toast them straight from frozen - tastes surprisingly fresh and saves me from tossing spoiled bread. Definitely worth the tiny bit of planning if you want to cut waste and save cash.
