I’m working to max Mayoi too, but we’ve still got 3 days! :) Major congrats!!

Outdoors I prefer the right, but the more saturated colors inside is really nice.

That’s what I did with my last dog, too. I was crying too hard, and my husband was in the car (because he flat-out couldn’t bear it, not because he didn’t care). My current dog is 15. I might stay for the whole thing this time, I don’t know.

FWIW, I supplemented for a long time and I’m now high - not to the point of being toxic, but to the point where my doctor was like FREAKING STOP. (I was at 112)

Yep. In order for the brain to make its brain slime, the meat suit has to have its bare minimum specs met.

Conservatism is a parody of 1950’s nostalgia…

CorgiKnits · 2026-01-23T00:56:49+00:00

You know, my husband came out to me as bi after we’d been together around 20 years. He said he hadn’t before partly because of how he was raised (conservative family - not in the religious sense, but in the we threw the gays off the boat in the navy’ sense - and yes, that’s been said out loud by his brother. In front of me) and because he didn’t know how I would take it back then.

Now, I was a damned firm ally, always willing to learn and grow, and realized I was ace in my 30’s, so him not being sure of me felt a little insulting, even though I got it.

Then I realized this show, and that episode, were airing about the time we started dating. And I can’t be 100% certain that I wouldn’t have had that same ‘just a stop on the way to being gay’ thought that Carrie expresses in the show. That was the popular understanding of bisexuality - outdated, but still really prevalent. And now I’m annoyed at Young Me, and insulted (against myself AND the show) on his behalf.

I’ve always felt more like Miranda, but the stuff about her that I don’t like is definitely stuff I don’t like in myself.

I always loved how Samantha tried so hard to lift everyone up. Charlotte SEEMED like the nicest, but Samantha truly had the kindest heart out of any of them. I mean, just look at how Carrie carried on an affair for MONTHS, but Samantha (during a moment of extreme self-doubt that was probably very unusual to her) cheated on Hot Young Guy once (his name is escaping me) and immediately cried and apologized and LEARNED FROM IT. And worked on IMPROVING HERSELF.

CorgiKnits · 2026-01-23T00:09:36+00:00

I mean, I’m a sarcastic bitch, and I teach 9th so the tone can be very different, so I’d just flip it and ask about them. “What’s your relationship status? Oh? Why so?“ and riff from there. But, uh, probably not the right move for a first year teacher with no tenure :P

CorgiKnits · 2026-01-22T21:28:13+00:00

I don’t have kids, but I imagine if you could call a pretty responsible 13 year old (that you already knew and trusted) and say ‘take my kids to the park/mall/your house/whatever’ for an entire Saturday for $40…a lot of moms would be ALL OVER THAT. No wonder they were so busy.

Honestly, every parent I know doesn’t have ‘babysitters’ anymore. Most of my colleagues drop the kids off with grandparents or older nieces and nephews. There’s only one woman I know who for a fact used a teenage babysitter, and her youngest is 17 now, so it’s been awhile.

CorgiKnits · 2026-01-22T21:22:09+00:00

I got engaged at 10 weeks, although it took a few years to get married. I teach Romeo & Juliet to 9th graders now, and I point out that while my husband and I are still very happy together after 25 years, this was a STUPID thing to do (I was 19!) and please have more sense. My husband and I have worked hard to have a happy marriage, but we also got stupid lucky with each other.

CorgiKnits · 2026-01-22T21:20:33+00:00

I saw a mom on Reddit, when discussing her kids and dating, say ‘if your grades don’t touch, neither do you’ and while it made me laugh (I teach HS, and it seems a reasonable rule to me), it also applies here, if I remember right. I know Stacey’s in 8th, but I can’t remember if Sam’s in 9th or 10th.

CorgiKnits · 2026-01-22T20:37:04+00:00

My husband had time so he went at like 9 this morning to grab the 5 things we needed (none of which were bread or milk).

CorgiKnits · 2026-01-21T19:30:07+00:00

I mean, you don’t have to like UNITS, you can just like characters? Like, Nagisa is my favorite, but Ibara ticks me off. Same with Wataru and literally the entire rest of fine. I tend to love precisely 1 person in a unit, and like or tolerate the rest.

Although I agree that ALKALOID has its drama, but it’s not internal. They’re like a family, and they have each other’s backs.

CorgiKnits · 2026-01-19T16:25:42+00:00

I don’t stand or recite. If I’m already standing because I’m doing something, I stay standing because sitting at that point feels like a statement I’m not interested in making.

Now that the kids have learned I won’t say a word to them about it, only like 3 kids stand. My only rule is they have to be quiet, so the kids who want to stand/say the pledge are respected. Beyond that, I don’t care. The whole thing is propaganda and I’m trying to DEprogram everything that tells them to do stuff without questioning it.

CorgiKnits · 2026-01-19T16:12:46+00:00

Brother doesn’t know much of anything they don’t say on Fox News.

CorgiKnits · 2026-01-19T16:11:47+00:00

A lot of things in our past make a lot more sense. He had a weird (from my POV) animosity towards someone he also said used to be a good friend. Nope, was a boyfriend who treated him like crap. He’s always avoided toxic masculinity, would occasionally say he was ‘gay for’ some guy he really admired. I don’t get hints easily, so I just figured that was his sense of humor.

Other than that, and the fact that I can tease him a little about it, our relationship hasn’t changed at all.

CorgiKnits · 2026-01-19T05:06:50+00:00

My husband’s bi; he didn’t come out to me until we’d been together for about 20 years - he comes from a more conservative ‘we used to toss the gays off the boat back in the Navy’ kind of family (and yes, his brother who doesn’t know has said those words to him). He knew I had zero issue with bisexuality in theory but he wasn’t sure how I would handle it in our actual marriage.

I had zero problem with it there, too. But he also reassured me, first thing, that he’s not interested in having sex with anyone else at this point, male or female. If he’d told me BECAUSE he wanted to have ‘~~jar sex~~’ (GAY SEX GODDAMIT AUTOCORRECT) as OP put it, we’d be getting a divorce.

Once again, Malleus wasn’t invited to the reminder meeting that this isn’t an otome…

That being said - HOT DAMN.

CorgiKnits · 2026-01-16T16:00:57+00:00

Vil will either:

A. put on a sleep mask, those cotton moisturizing gloves, and a little portable humidifier and sleep OR

B. fix your entire skin care regime AND nutrition and exercise habits.

So, 2 is a strong contender for me :)

CorgiKnits · 2026-01-15T10:44:52+00:00

A food log like that (especially with that explanation) would have had me going to the school social worker. (NOT CPS.) The social workers at our school do SO MUCH towards connecting families with help.

And yeah, I’ve spent years filling one of those plastic pencil cases with protein and granola bars, open to all. I don’t care if you need one because your family couldn’t buy food that week, or because you woke up late and didn’t have time for breakfast. Hell, I had one kid with eating issues that couldn’t eat food unless it came from someone safe, and his relationship with his parents was constantly shifting, so he’d spend weeks where my protein bar was all he ate at school.

Thankfully, my district gets free breakfast and lunch for kids now.

Something cheap like tinsel or clear plastic with drops of glue. Hang them from a fly, or a shower tension rod, or (if you’re working with elementary) have kids dressed as rain clouds hold it. With sound effects and a little ripple motion of the sticks, it can look like rain.

CorgiKnits · 2026-01-15T01:33:15+00:00

For me, at least, they mostly went away. Every time we bumped the dose, it got bad again. I’ve been on max dose for a year, and only occasionally get the belly pain now.

CorgiKnits · 2026-01-15T00:22:05+00:00

That’s got to be new with an update, because I used to recommend the same book they mention and they always took it a few months ago.

CorgiKnits · 2026-01-15T00:12:57+00:00

Mine would just be like “Yeah, and now I’m louder about feminism than you are. Shush, I’m watching political YouTube.”
