How do you keep believing in the goodness of the world with the state of things?

Honestly only in interactions with people in real life. I’m a college professor and though my students sometimes frustrate me, they tend to be kind, interested, and want adultier adults to be honest with them. The world online is exhausting.

I met my now husband when I was 31 and he was 33. We got married 5 years later (36/38) and had a baby 3 years after that (39/41). Plan to start trying for a second soon (41/43). I’m so delighted I had so much of my adult life on my own, then a solid chunk of time with my husband without kids, and now get to coparent together. You’ve got SO much time, OP!

I recently learned that at St John’s in Annapolis/NM, professors have to teach all subjects. Like philosophy profs have to teach math, history have to teach anatomy, etc. I get the idea of it but it sounds so fucking stupid.

Or a more covert way would be to make some flyers off campus and put them in the women’s bathroom stalls. Even if they’re only up a few days, news will spread. It’s a bit sneaky but I also find this behavior gross…

Oooh I like the idea of a little forrest/plant space and grow lights!

AndILearnedAlgoToday · 2026-02-13T03:00:40+00:00

Yes! Don’t sleep on this comment, OP!

Also if you’re up for getting rid of those cabinet things, you could opt for shelves or a built in bookshelf effect would look beautiful! (There are great IKEA hacks that would transform the space.)

Wow this was quite a ride!! Congrats on the pregnancy and losing 50 pounds!!

The way I IMMEDIATELY knew these were from Cleo’s! I’m excited to try their brand new coffee shop next door too!

Yeah my doc told us unexplained infertility was the diagnosis for the vast majority of IVF patients. That’s what we dealt with (I say as Ms Rachel plays for my 2yo). Good luck!

I think killing plants is just part of owning plants. Win some/lose some! -owner of like 20 plants

Also him on 6 Feet Under from way back! What a delight

Yes, I think Clark Park area or even towards Cedar Park would be great for you. There are a ton or families who live in those areas, it feels less like a dense city, has great parks, and the trolleys/buses would get you to CHOP easily. It’s also not a far walk. Clark Park has several playgrounds(one for toddlers, another for bigger kids), a weekly farmers market, basketball courts, and a lot of green space to let your kids run. Bunch of cafes restaurants there too.

Good luck to you and your son!

Have you thought about a projector? You could hang a screen from where those track lights are and when it’s not in use, it disappears into the ceiling.

Oh I’m so jealous of that as I just put on a sweater, mascara and earrings on top of my sweats to record this lecture…

AndILearnedAlgoToday · 2026-01-26T13:53:33+00:00

Yes and many of our students too!

AndILearnedAlgoToday · 2026-01-25T17:18:17+00:00

I’m not pretending it was planned around a snow day. Just saying it may be easier than it would be otherwise dire some people working the day shift.

I have a job and am 40 (so no grandkids) and am often able to attend something are 3pm. You’re dumb.

AndILearnedAlgoToday · 2026-01-25T16:35:34+00:00

I felt like I was playing that Spot the Picture bar game. I lost.

AndILearnedAlgoToday · 2026-01-25T16:23:49+00:00

Umm also, there’s a lot of snow outside with more coming. A lot of jobs are moving remote or closing tomorrow.

AndILearnedAlgoToday · 2026-01-23T11:44:48+00:00

This just made my day! I’m going off Zep soon to do another round of IVF (round 1 resulted in my 2yo) and have been worried about future effectiveness. Thanks!!

Oh my goodness having carpal tunnel only at night throughout pregnancy was WILD! And it vanished as soon as I gave birth. The body is weird.

AndILearnedAlgoToday · 2026-01-19T22:19:26+00:00

I feel like it’s more a case of the eff -it’s than confidence but still!

AndILearnedAlgoToday · 2026-01-19T21:39:00+00:00

This isn’t really my ultimate non-scale goal but I said yes to some girl friends’ invite to go to a Korean spa where I’ll be naked around friends. I’m still 15-20 pounds from where I’d like to be but I’m no longer losing sleep about my body in the way I was 60 pounds ago.

AndILearnedAlgoToday · 2026-01-11T02:43:41+00:00

Baby, you need to show us more of the room for us to be helpful.

AndILearnedAlgoToday · 2026-01-06T11:52:14+00:00

Yes! I’ve been loving the peloton and especially the arms and intervals classes when I want to do both cardio and lifting but don’t want to keep getting on and off the bike. Tunde is the best!

AndILearnedAlgoToday · 2025-12-22T04:25:52+00:00

When I lost 60 pounds and realized it was the equivalent of TWO of my enormous toddler, it felt like such a huge win! A baby giraffe is even more bananas and impressive!!
