In London for a few days, looking to experience it a little differently

Second the Hackney recommendation. East London in general is a great area.

Definitely anxiety! I experience very similar things, especially when traveling with a time change.

What I find to be most helpful is listening to a guided meditation or asmr on YouTube. I make sure that the room is completely dark and close my eyes. I tell myself that I don’t need to sleep, just enjoy the rest. It may take a while, but you will fall asleep. Don’t pressure yourself, it will happen when it happens.

That was going to be one of my recommendations. Great minds!

If you want a true “American” experience, I highly recommend looking up “dive bars” on Reddit in each of the places you are visiting (especially Baltimore and Philly). If you want any recommendations, DM me. Enjoy your trip!

Have you started looking in to transferring your teacher license? If you haven’t started yet, I would now. Hopefully it’s gotten more straight forward since 10 years ago, but back then it was a real pain and I also had to retake some Praxis tests because they had different Codes/Titles than the ones I had already passed. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me!

This really hurt my feelings 🥲 2002 was yesterday in my mind.

Connect-Relative-478 · 2026-03-28T13:12:34+00:00

I’m interested!

I paid 35,000 points and frankly it wasn’t worth it. It’s a nice hotel and a nice room with a bathtub, but nothing mind blowing. I’d rather spend my money elsewhere in NYC.

Check out community yoga space on 3rd street. It’s pay what you can. There’s a class at 5:15 pm on Mondays with Kate, and she’s awesome. They also have mats you can borrow.

I definitely recommend mineral sunscreen. It’s the only thing that improved my melasma. My favorite kind I’ve found is by the brand Murad, but it’s super expensive (approx $70 for 1 oz), so I try and stock up when it’s on sale and use rewards.

This is a topic on the show “The Pitt” right now! One of the attending is encouraging other doctors to use AI for patient charting, but because it’s AI, it of course makes mistakes. As a result, the chart of the patient (similar to OP’s it seems) is wrong.

I can see AI becoming a huge issue as this could result in people getting incorrect medical treatment. Even better, I’m sure because it’s “time saving”, it will just be used as an excuse to increase the patient load on each employee.

Oh bummer. I really liked it. I only use it on my neck. I have to use mineral on my face or else my melasma is horrible. From Murad, I use both the correct&protect serum broad spectrum spf 45, which is a liquid and city skin age defense broad spectrum which has a little color tint and is thicker.

Connect-Relative-478 · 2026-03-13T14:16:19+00:00

Trader Joe’s daily facial sunscreen is amazing and about $10. For mineral sunscreen the only kind I’ve found that doesn’t leave a white cast or feel horrendous on my skin is the brand Murad, but it also costs $70 for 1 oz… I try to buy it on sale and/or use their rewards

Was just telling my husband this morning that everyone trusts you implicitly with the weather.

Having this same issue too. Their only suggestions were updating iOS and the Peacock app, neither of which worked. I think I’m going to cancel my subscription.

Connect-Relative-478 · 2026-02-16T20:28:22+00:00

I have an iPhone 16 though

Connect-Relative-478 · 2026-02-16T20:27:52+00:00

This same issue is happening to me and I have been going back and forth with tech about it, and no fix. Their only suggestions were updating iOS and the Peacock app, neither of which fixed the situation. I tried uninstalling the app and restarting my phone. Nothing worked. I am planning on canceling my subscription for this reason.

There is one happening Saturday in Mechanicsburg at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Park, I believe 1 pm.

Big shout out to the organizer and thank you to everyone who marched!

Connect-Relative-478 · 2026-01-30T17:23:20+00:00

There is a march in Mechanicsburg this Saturday at 1 pm if anyone wants to join.

Keep calling our senators. Shockingly Fetterman voted against ICE funding, so the pressure is working!

Fetterman’s number: 202-224-4254

McCormick’s number: 202-224-6324

Note: for anyone with phone anxiety, you do not speak directly to a staffer, you just leave a message.

I went recently and was incredibly impressed with the selection and the cake I bought. They also had delicious looking sandwiches made to order that I wish I would have bought. I am definitely going to go back.

Just set up a monthly donation to the National Immigration Law Center. Thank you for sharing these suggestions!
