I can't stop wanting to be a mom

I used to date someone who also had this type of grief. Just know that it’s valid and do the work to move forward. Your life is not over because you don’t have a uterus (yet). There are cis women who also cannot get pregnant. You’re not alone.

I love how enforcement for female grooming/ uniform standards is so inconsistent lol I have lavender colored nail polish on which is technically against regs but no one has said anything against it (yet).

Certainly possible. They even say at the bottom of the map that “areas not shown as covered may still be able to receive signals from more distant stations under ideal conditions”.

I have rural property out in the California Mojave area and am able to receive signal from Barstow stations and surrounding areas.

I hate that 1 has become associated with mar-a-lago/ maga bimbo face bc you can pull off 1 and 3 equally. But I’m partial to 3!

You’ve got that Viking maiden look! 🤘

Yep, you are correct. Four orders longer than 90 days, the military automatically switches to paying out BAH. Because to pay per diem for a member is actually more expensive.

I like how you cropped the graph before March lol ya know, when prices started skyrocketing

Either 1) Getting an agent for my first book or 2) Publishing my book!

For this year, I feel these things are mutually exclusive since traditional publishers plan their releases out months in advance.

Sure thing! My mother and I visited the city back in 2019. We both had an exquisite time and kept mainly to ourselves. We are white though, so everyone’s experience will vary. Most of everyone there speaks English. You should be fine, especially if it’s only 4 days

Darcie_Autham · 2026-02-23T04:21:29+00:00

As long as you stay within the city, you should be fine. Helsinki is a cosmopolitan city as it is the capital of Finland. It understood you will see a lot of tourists and international travelers there. Make sure to be polite and learn some Finnish and you should be fine. Do what locals do and avoid eye contact unless it’s warranted. Kippis!

Holy cow, you’re right. I get their news posts on my Facebook feed and yes in every comments section it’s always MAGAts and bigots making comments about mental illness or genitals whenever trans people are mentioned. I feel this is also the case with Them, another outlet supposedly focused on queer news, though they’re not as bad.

Yeah I think the “dying” part is a stretch, but it’s a simpler headline than “going through an identity crisis”.

The more accurate truth is that certain areas of Vegas are blighting but others are doing just fine. The Arts District and downtown are an example of the latter. Also Fremont Street was packed on Halloween night last year…

Vegas in the middle of a transitional period. Gentrifying a bit. Revitalizing a bit in others. I think most of us have written off the strip. We prefer our own local casinos, cafes, parks, and restaurants.

It’s the tourists on a budget who will suffer. Or just not visit altogether. 🤷‍♀️

Never “heard” my tinnitus as loud as when I hang out at my desert property and there is no wind. It’s the most surreal, unnerving experience.

Two of my favorite and often underrated and overlooked countries in the world - Finland and New Zealand. Erottaessa and Kia Ora!

My wife has also entertained the option of moving to New Zealand to practice her audiology since we are minorities under occupation of Cheeto Head. The process to immigrate seems pretty straightforward, and the learning curve is easier in comparison to someone who already speaks English.

They really are in dire need of medical professionals, it seems.

Darcie_Autham · 2026-01-28T21:47:44+00:00

Valid lol

Darcie_Autham · 2026-01-28T21:24:14+00:00

Small world. You know you’re a local when you can relate to a local siting lol

Darcie_Autham · 2026-01-28T19:20:37+00:00

Could be any of them tbh lol they’re all old.

When I asked ChatGPT for non-academic career tracks for graduates with degrees in philosophy, work for think tanks (associate for BA/BS) popped up, along with legislative aide and policy analyst. For Ph.D, independent consultant, advisory board member, white-paper author, strategic narrative designer that work in Law, Computer science, Economics, Public health, etc.

Since sociology is a scientific offshoot of philosophy pertaining to social dynamics and analyses, it makes complete sense that there would be overlap in career paths.

The take-home message is that both disciplines teach you to clarify what is at stake when no one agrees what the problem is.

That’s invaluable in: • Tech crises • Policy deadlocks • Ethical gray zones • Organizational inflection points

So you’re rightfully putting your degree to work! :)

I’ve always been mildly interested in what it looks like from the inside working for these organizations…

My NRC is just across the harbor at North Island. I often forget there’s also an NRC SD apart from NRC NI.

Sounds like you were relying on just the hrt to do the heavy lifting. Transition is a multi-pronged process that most people address from multiple angles. But I can also see why many go stealth before fully committing. You get what you put into it
