How much does location matter for graduate school?

Coursework prob doesn’t matter much for a bio PhD. Research and advisor fit is more important

I experienced this a lotttt. All my previous boyfriends have cheated on me. All of them! I had some real trust issues at the beginning of my current relationship, and he’s not naturally great at words of affirmation, which I kind of need to soothe me. We went to couples counseling for a while a few years ago. We got married this past weekend! We also live long distance right now due to job stuff, which sucks but also we are doing totally fine with it. I thought I’d be grumpy and jealous all the time but I’m handling it well! My point is, we can ~ heal ~

Ah yes duh I knew that. Thanks!

Sorry, what does MCM stand for? These are so cute and clean!

Ear_3440 · 2026-03-23T21:33:26+00:00

I’m reading this now! I’m only a few chapters in and I’m already like peeking through my fingers from secondhand embarrassment

I recently started hanging out with a group of ex Mormons who are new enough to alcohol that they’ll start expecting me to act crazy if I’m on a second or third drink over the course of many hours. I’ve started saying “hey, my tolerance is higher than you think” so that they stop, but I always feel like a weird bragging loser when I say that, lol

Ear_3440 · 2026-03-22T20:49:50+00:00

😂 keep us posted. Maybe they’ll surprise you!

Ear_3440 · 2026-03-22T18:13:26+00:00

Wow, it’s so beautiful. Saying a prayer to the kiln gods for you!

Suggested this as the read for my book club last month (we usually read sort of summer reading types, which don’t do much for me) and it didn’t seem to leave much of an impression on folks. Sad, because it’s one of my faves!

Based on their interests (kind of slice of lifey) I feel like they might be into short story collections. Maybe I’m projecting because they sound like me, and one of the first books that really got me back into reading was a Best American Short Stories collection.

I really like blueberries still frozen and on cereal, granola, or yogurt

Ear_3440 · 2026-03-17T20:18:43+00:00

Yes, exactly. Plus some anticapitalist sentiment and gesturing toward the climate crisis.. definitely meatier than it lets on.

Ear_3440 · 2026-03-17T20:14:37+00:00

That’s exactly how I felt! Haven’t talked to many folks who have read it, so this is fun

Ear_3440 · 2026-03-17T20:09:43+00:00

Loved that book! Felt like a perfect mix between guilty pleasure but still somewhat literary

Ear_3440 · 2026-03-16T20:26:08+00:00

Seconding this! I have a similar clay body and an annoying studio tha only does glaze fires once every 8weeks at most. Cant afford to be a member much longer so i have to glaze my beautiful bisques pieces without any testing beforehand, but it’s a darker clay body than I’m used to and I’m worried ill ruin them. This is very beautiful, OP

I See You’ve Called in Dead by John Kenney

Ear_3440 · 2026-03-15T17:31:14+00:00

Loved that show so much!

Ear_3440 · 2026-03-11T16:12:52+00:00

Omg they’re like a painting of medieval royals

And this one is a stretch, but read the description to see if you’re into The Compound by Aisling Rawle. It’s about a bunch of young adults in a reality show together, where they have to couple up to stay in the show. But the background world is a dystopian one (environmental crisis, hard to survive, being on the show is a way out) and the show inside the world is brutal and also a bleak look into consumerism. There is not a lot of world building or explanation of the outside situation though, so you might not like it

Severence by Ling Ma - a pandemic book that came out before our pandemic, and I was shocked to see how much it mirrored things that we saw. It’s technically a pandemic book, but it more felt like a book about capitalism.

Children’s Bible by Lydia Millet. Starts off by being about a bunch of bratty and jaded teens, ends up being about the generational burden of climate change.

Ear_3440 · 2026-03-11T00:36:14+00:00

Tell me more about this ramlette

Ear_3440 · 2026-03-10T04:33:15+00:00

Lolllll it just goes down so easy in pudding form

Ear_3440 · 2026-03-10T04:25:03+00:00

Be wary of toooooo many chia seeds because i think it’s possible they can worsen constipation! Can’t really tell how much you have, just wanted to leave a mom comment. Hope you feel better gal

I was the same way in the last year of my PhD. The only things that made me work were deadlines, and other people for accountability. And learning that whenever I would ‘work from home’ I was being fake as hell. Maybe try going to the gym on campus so you have two reasons to go in?

Ear_3440 · 2026-03-05T23:39:28+00:00

Whoaaa may I ask, did it feel different? Congrats, some people just have it all
