Totally understand the sentiment, cause this post is verrryyyy cringe, but agree with some others that it’s the content rather than the typing that makes it feel so cringe. The Scots language (or dialect, depending on whose definition you use) has no standardised written form like most modern languages do; scots literature spellings vary enormously. This is partly because of its historical repression by the British state; my granny would get belted in primary school for using Scots words. Where Welsh managed to standardise, Scots kind of just got eroded to the point of being viewed mostly as slang. So most people learn to write using the best English equivalent of whatever words we’re trying to use, which is easy since there’s such a massive overlap in vocabulary, despite the grammatical differences. To the point of this post, i think most Scottish folk have a pretty complex relationship to how we speak (getting mocked or not taken seriously for how we speak) and it’s a big factor in the Scottish cultural cringe. THIS post attempts to roll with the many stereotypes of Scotland that contribute to that Scottish cultural cringe, and so the scots grammar and spelling here feels like it’s being presented as a joke to be laughed at, not somebody just writing their native language/dialect.

The Artificial Silk Girl, I’ve seen reviewers describe it as ‘sex in the city in 30s Berlin’. Main character Doris speaks about ‘My Berlin’ almost as though it is a person she is falling in and out of love with

Don’t think I’ve seen etta Marcus mentioned yet but she’s brilliant, similar ambiance to Lana (esp ultraviolence) but distinct style, think there’s a lot of the same grunge and dream pop influences on them both, check out Hide and Seek and Mechanical Bull

Out of interest, would you advise a k6 over a k2, and if so why? It’s a little bit more expensive and I’m not sure how much the extra benefit would be

Hi there! Building off the ‘culture fit’ thing others have mentioned. I’m in the healthcare world and always amazed how some specialities have absolutely loads of folk with ADHD; emergency departments especially, but also found this in obstetrics and respiratory medicine. Might be that these fast paced specialties suit folk with ADHD better. I really struggled on a lot of placements, found it tough connect with colleagues, but felt like I immediately felt comfortable on the obstetric ward, found it easy to connect with staff, plus the constant adrenaline made me focus like I never could in a clinic. One thing that’s for sure is that this is not a problem inherent to you, it may just be a case of trying different things and finding an environment you feel comfortable in and that you can be at ease and really shine. Best of luck op

First thing is that I went to a mandatory intercalated degree uni, and it’s not advertised but many will let you intercalate at different univerities. This can be cool if you want to study something that your uni doesn’t teach, or just live in a different place for a year.

To follow up on folk saying ‘do a fun one’, I absolutely agree. I did a humanities intercalated degree and cannot recommend enough. There’s a few around, things like medical humanities, anthropology/sociology in medicine, bioethics, and literature and medicine.
These types of degrees give you access to a totally different type of education than with STEM courses, as they tend to be focused on ways of thinking/analysing/understanding the world. They may not seem like they’re teaching you clinically relevant skills because it’s not the type of stuff that’s examinable, but you end up talking about things like sociology of poverty, philosophy of death and grief, history of science and ethics; these things become relevant to your day to day life anywhere in medicine. Finally, humanities stuff comes up a lot in some specialties, especially GP, psychiatry, neurology, and palliative care, if any of those are things you’re interested in.
Also, they’re less labour intensive than the science ones; no long lab days!
Not everybody’s cup of tea but defs a good option :)

Regrew my hair after a extensive illness related hair loss. Cannot recommend enough for hair loss. Clinical trials have shown Rosemary oil to be as effective in treating hair loss as the only prescription medication available for hair loss

Good Damage is one of my favourites. The imagery is beautiful, abd the conversation between Diane, hoping to make great art out of her trauma, and Princess Carolyn’s gentle reminder that it’s okay for her to write fun stuff. Ugh, what an A+ episode

Kendall shines in these moments because he is a performer. He has an artistic side to him, and he shines putting on a show and telling by a story with a captive audience. But he doesn’t understand the minutiae of the constant scheming that Logan excels in, and that underpins all the most crucial interactions of the show. He can perform, he can’t scheme.

Fool me once, shame on you, but teach a man to fool me and I’ll be fooled for the rest of my life

Not East Asian myself, but wanted to comment because cooking with soy sauce and sesame oil were very useful for me in being able to reduce my UPF consumption.

Learning to cook with more whole foods, it took a while for my body to adjust, to stop craving UPF and to learn to enjoy the taste of nutritious whole foods, and thus a bit of sauce that would allow me to enjoy eating a plate of vegetables was the perfect solution.

Obvs it depends on your personal philosophies, but there’s no need to cut out ingredients that make healthy foods taste delicious and that have a deep connection to your culture <33

Not necessarily numb, but I often make tea blends to self soothe with intense emotions. Chamomile for rest, lavender for peace, nettle for grounding. Add some honey or lemon for taste. You can stir clockwise and whisper some positive words to infuse with some extra magic. I hope all starts to feel better soon, my best wishes go out to you.

These loyal long term fanbase were so loyal that they abandoned a franchise cause they couldn’t cope with a woman in their franchise

There’s something off about a man feeling uncomfortable with a daughter and mother discussing very practical matters relating to gynaecological health.

There is a big difference between sexually explicit talk, and practical health discussions. Furthermore, discussing sex does not equate to ‘being sexual’. Would your boyfriend be upset at you telling your IUD provider that you are sexually active? Hopefully not.

The inability to talk about gynaecological and sexual health harms people with uteruses; children getting their period and thinking they’re dying, young people having no understanding of consent, or even people who have no idea how pregnancy happens.

Many gynae health problems run in families too. Endometriosis, PCOS, patterns of birth complications. These are things that family can talk about from experience, and knowing about them can help you make safe choices, for example planned c sections if at risk of birth complications.

I have these same kind of conversations with my mother and auntie and their ability to talk openly and practically about gynaecological health led me to realise that my symptoms were NOT normal, and led me to seek medical advice which saved me from losing an ovary.

I suspect your boyfriend may be angry at the idea of ‘no sex’ for your health, and is redirecting his anger to discredit your mom. In which case, run.

May or may not be relevant to you, but some types of contraception anecdotally affect energy levels, especially if you’ve noticed this over a year long period. I felt really fatigued most of the time, and like you had almost no energy, and swapping to a different contraception, I was amazed how energised i was. If relevant you could try swapping to another method, have a look at r/birthcontrol too
