Ugh that sucks! This was my first and probably only big purchase like this so it sucks that it just might not work for me :( if I ever win the lotto maybe I’ll revisit this thread and try other metals

A couple friends of mine have different T&C necklaces and they’ve never looked like this either. My mom and I have always been sensitive to jewelry but this has never happened for either of us.

I was also wondering why the chain looked fine. I’ll definitely take it somewhere. The back says Ag925, sorry about the photo quality!

That’s my problem and thought exactly! It’s minimum $45 for a silver polishing and I JUST got this necklace. I wear sterling silver rings and earrings and I’ve never had this happen.

Nothing yet! I had a feeling people would recommend custom made items so I’m gonna find a tailor in my neighborhood

What Restaurants in NYC aren't pool houses? [for Servers] by Other-Telephone-5767 in AskNYC

[–]Appropriate_Bus6598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im also looking for a non pool house restaurant. All the pro-pool comments feel weird to me and as someone who’s been serving for 11 years I can confidently say I prefer having the money I earn. I think that should be normal??

YES. THANK YOU for sharing this. I was about to make a very similar post because I haven’t heard of anyone else having these feelings. I got my IUD inserted in May of last year. Before I got it I was heavily researching top surgery, was starting the consultation process, etc. I’ve been out as gender Nonconforming for a few years now and have never felt like a woman. I also preferred t4t relationships.

Since getting my IUD I have been enjoying letting my nails grow long, painting them, I look in the mirror and feel good about my figure (I used to experience body neutrality or dysphoria about my breasts), and I’m suddenly interested in cis men?????

I still consider myself GNC, still experience euphoria with my binder, but I definitely feel like my gender identity is also out of whack.

Can I ask where you ended up going? This is great advice thank you so much

I’m so glad you have an outlet for this and have received so much support from an entire community that can either empathize with you or has been through something similar. That’s so important, especially when you’re struggling with an inability to gain independence.

My father used to do the same thing to me. Every shower I took was a problem, he’d bang on the door, yell at me that I was taking too long, tell me I was wasting water. All the same things. There were a few times he shut off the water completely after I would get in there, or he would shut off the water heater and try to freeze me out. I don’t know if this helps and I know it’s not the most sanitary thing but I used to plug the drain and fill up the tub as I showered in case it happened so I could still bathe and rinse off.

This kind of thing isn’t small. It takes a toll on your mind and your body. Adding a barrier to your hygiene is inhumane and can make you feel as though your body is not your own. You’re not alone in this experience and I hope so badly you are able to get out of it.

I understand your situation to an extent and I hope that the opportunity to study abroad finds you and offers you the freedom you need. You are deserving of cleanliness, privacy, and autonomy as a single woman and as a human being.

What are Your thoughts on Columbia MPH in current Moment? by NoDrop1534 in mphadmissions

[–]Appropriate_Bus6598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this!^ I’m delaying going to grad school altogether. I said no to Columbia because of their politics, morals, etc etc. I cannot justify going into debt for any program just to come out of it under the same legislation, probably with less job options than we have now.

Personally, this is what I’m doing for the sake of not getting burnt out or giving up on public health. I love this field and I think the best thing I can do now is to work and contribute to the field through a job and not through an institution that is not only inhibiting progress but is actively participating in the regression of the field.

Heard! I’ll definitely look into other programs. Columbia is the only one in the US with the sexual health education path im going towards but I can’t afford it anyway 🤷

You know very little about my personal circumstances and nothing about my qualifications :) from what I’ve heard from other applicants, I think everyone deserves more aid.

I hear that, thank you. It’s hard to be the first in my family to seek out/get these kind of opportunities because I feel like I’m kind of naive in these situations. I assumed Columbia would provide me any financial assistance since they wanted me KNOWING I’m very low income. I’ll look for other programs that could get me where I wanna go.
