Marie Curie. She and her husband were both passionate about researching polonium but he didn’t seem to mind that she was the once-in-a-generation genius.
I wrote a long bio on tinder and said I was only interested in those who read it, liked only people who seemed to share or would accept my interests, and unmatched with anyone when it eventually became clear they hadn’t read the bio. Been with my partner for 4+ years now.
You’re not overreacting and it’s infuriating that he can’t accept that women’s bodies change with age and with circumstance. My brother and his wife have been together for nine years, she’s gained a lot of weight of course, and he still absolutely adores her. That’s the kind of unconditional love and support that you deserve. Someone better is out there, multiple someones, and it only comes down to timing. You are so strong and I wish for you only the very best.
Let the city’s heath inspector office know. Just drop an email with evidence. Likely won’t hear anything back from them but it can start a paper trail
I have an emotionally immature mother who was suicidal for most of my childhood. That went away because life when she became an empty nester SAHM grew less stressful, but she’s still hot tempered, selfish, and now wants to be a “alternative” health or cooking influencer for social clout. We don’t talk much. I love her but also kind of can’t stand her. Sometimes I wonder if she’s a good person or not.
Sometimes do, sometimes don’t. I’d rather puke than hug the toilet, dry heave, and cry angry at the world.
Maybe bring a thin robe? For some reason I thought of Margaret Cho’s joke “so I put on my eatin’ dress” when I read this. I get it. It sucks to drop food on clothes and more likely when you’re sleepy.
She married the boy from Spy Kids by the way
You look great! Confidence comes with experience and don’t worry, you look lovely and I’m jealous of your eyes lol
Paul Tokorcheck is a really kind, funny, and approachable mathematics professor who listens and cares about his students rather than talking to the chalkboard all of class. I noticed that he started using certain colors of chalk to draw attention to links between ideas, and the second time I had him, realized that he starts the semester wearing a traditional button down shirt and gradually transitions to tshirts, flip flops, and wearing his septum piercing by the end. I was always in the back and he gets along best with students who LOVE math (shout out Austin lmao) but he’s good at making each student feel included.
Then there’s James Steele who is a gem in the architecture department and so many students dislike history courses on principle, but he has a huge body of knowledge and wicked sense of humor. As a former journalist he also gleans his information from primary sources in their native language rather than trust english interpretations by default and updates lessons when archeology reveals something new (even on the day of).
Freeze dried snacks, nuts, chips, dinner rolls, cheese sticks, and/or jerky, and then I order food in the airport terminal and bring it along in my carry on. Usually a salad or cucumber/avocado sushi roll, or whatever I can find.
Many medical care facilities offer financial help and can waive bills if you’re under a certain income level, but they don’t tell patients upfront about this of course. I applied to get a bill waived and they sent a physical letter as confirmation with the instruction to bring it with me to appointments for the next year to get those costs waived too.
Seems like things are getting better which is great and I just want to chime in with something that I hope is helpful. We dote on each other and cuddle when sick but I’m scared of catching anything and will wear N95 masks until he’s better. (he had covid symptoms for two days and i had symptoms for five months so risking it is not worth it) Get N95s from reliable medical-grade sources though
Some of it is local government’s preferences but most of these regulations are from the International Building Code, improving health and safety but also benefitting the design and construction industries.
Reminding me of a tiktok where someone said they weren’t hurt by being misgendered by strangers because she wants to make He/Him money lol
I personally don’t mind straight people as long as they’re not broadcasting their sexuality or make it their whole personality.

I was terrible at math in high school and it only clicked for me in college when I studied korean for a semester. Trying to build mental connections to help with korean made me start to see math/physics as just another language with a grammar, syntax, and vocabulary of its own.

Pure spite. Deciding that my story doesn’t get to end here despite everything that’s happened. I’m still going to live a long time and things will get better. About three years after the last attempt I fell in love with a good person, wouldn’t give this up for anything, and I’m grateful that he has me. We’re both broken in our own ways and have had partners who had happy lives in comparison, so we’re able to trade stories with the comfort of knowing nothing said could change how we feel about each other. And with five dogs napping around me (I’m watching three of them for someone), if things don’t get better than this then at least I’m trying to forge happy memories and that takes time.
Everyone else has said anything else I wanted to say so I’m merely adding that if you feel conspicuous, bringing a cane on the scooter is an option. Then use it for getting in and out of the scooter and keep with you unless or until it has to be secured during rides. I used to bring a cane everywhere even on my good days just in case circumstances changed or I wanted something to lean against. And I loved using it for help getting in/out of chairs in winter
They’re also drinking down A LOT of microplastics.
I had read somewhere that fantasies of being overpowered is a common result of someone being taught that desire is shameful. Because in the fantasy if someone else is “forcing” pleasure on you, then you’re enjoying it without the shame of doing it yourself. I’m paraphrasing really badly and hope that makes sense.
I feel sorry for the baby depending on the parents and circumstances, especially if they’re doing it mostly because of peer pressure. However, my brother was excited to tears about becoming a father (he used to teach karate, taekwondo, and zendokai to kids starting when he was in middle school and he’s amazing with kids) and his wife is possibly the sweetest individual I’ve ever met in real life and they’ve been together for nine years.
Even though I never want kids of my own, neither does my partner, and I hate babysitting, I helped my brother and SIL with their newborn in the past week. Not because I was eager to but because they were trying so hard, exhausted, and scared, and I love them both. Doesn’t change how I feel about my own choices but that kid is lucky to have them.
It’s absolutely a myth. I have no plans to have children ever, and recently helped my brother and SIL with their newborn son for a week, and still felt no urge to have one of my own. Also, my mom was 23 when she had me and is so immature that it drives us kids crazy. She should have been working on herself and growing as a person in her 20s but I guess she’ll always be emotionally stunted.
Is “biological clock” a misogynistic myth?
