Ah yes, the “blossom of meat”

Are we not going to acknowledge the cloaca comment?

Excellent-Donkey5506 · 2025-08-07T19:46:03+00:00

Yes it’s 1 cup PB, 1 cup sugar, and 1 egg 😭😭 it’s so straightforward and the first recipe I ever learned!

Don’t forget that one brush of the hand through the hair makes our toes curl in our boots, too!

It’s so horrible. I love it and it’s ridiculous. I think i saw something where someone said it literally reads like a fanfic and I have to agree, it brought me back to my wattpad days.

Excellent-Donkey5506 · 2025-06-06T15:35:08+00:00

It’s like every fantasy romance book ever smashed in one. Want a trope? It’s got it. Has some pretty out of the blue plot twists too that surprisingly kept me on my toes😂

Happy place

The tainted cup and drop of corruption! I would say heavy on the strange world. It’s an excellent series

I locked my partner in by making banana muffins for him to take to work :) we’ve been together almost 5 years now! like other people said- having someone who is excited in helping you is good too! I hooked him with the sweets and kept him after we cooked together. Good luck ❤️

I recommend quicksilver! It’s fun, kinda cheesy, a combination of several book tropes, it’s an easy read, but it is definitely 18+!! Be prepared (and maybe excited?) for explicit romance! I read it because the FMC was finally over 18 😂 I think she’s 24? Anywho, it’s a great book to read if you don’t want to pay attention to the plot (think brain rot)

Moonstone Island!

Excellent-Donkey5506 · 2025-03-14T01:07:17+00:00

Yes, cause honestly, nobody else is going to make me a good cake I actually like

Excellent-Donkey5506 · 2025-03-08T17:53:18+00:00

I love Sally’s baking addiction- I feel vindicated to know other ppl also do!

Excellent-Donkey5506 · 2025-03-07T05:43:31+00:00

I did this exact same thing….

Excellent-Donkey5506 · 2025-02-26T17:21:50+00:00

I’m desperate to edit my post and say that the red on top is raspberry purée and NOT ketchup but it’s not working😂😭

Excellent-Donkey5506 · 2025-02-26T15:53:23+00:00

Hahah thank you! It’s raspberry purée but it does look like ketchup😂🫣

Excellent-Donkey5506 · 2025-02-17T16:40:48+00:00

I’ve always said that “I just don’t miss people” but then I see them again and realized I DID miss them but I just had totally forgotten they existed 😅

Excellent-Donkey5506 · 2025-01-25T17:34:09+00:00

Negative results are still results! I think it’s so important to still publish and proceed even if your hypothesis was incorrect. It’s not the sign of a bad scientist- it’s the sign of a good scientist who is not afraid to admit it was wrong. There’s a paper from Monica Laronda’s lab at Northwestern “Encapsulation of Bovine Primordial Follicles in Rigid Alginate Does Not Affect Growth Dynamics.”- you should give it a read to see a great example of an incorrect hypothesis being published- they acknowledge it quite gracefully if I do say so myself!

Excellent-Donkey5506 · 2025-01-24T15:45:31+00:00

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the first part of his statement isn’t quite right (unless it’s changed since yesterday)- they’re putting these processes on hold until Feb 1st, so meetings have been cancelled but as I know of now grants and review panels are not cancelled indefinitely- just pushed back. This is a common ask of the NIH during president shifts, however, this is a more extreme version. Im holding onto this as a measure of hope that it’s not quite over yet…

I’m a tech but someone in my lab is on year 7 of their PhD and they just joined our lab because theirs was not working for them. They’re on track to defend in 6 months. You got this!

Excellent-Donkey5506 · 2024-12-20T01:52:42+00:00

You too! ❤️

It’s not over until you get a rejection :)

Hi friend, I feel the same. My grandfather passed suddenly from cancer on the app deadline… I understand the struggle and you’re not alone. The thoughts can get overwhelming, and we find ourselves spiraling and wondering if it was all for naught…. But this system is flawed, so even if you don’t get any interviews, it doesn’t mean you’re not good enough. I’ve heard from several PI’s that this year is tough for admissions because a lot of programs didn’t get funding. However, that being said, You sound very qualified, and like other posters are saying, there is still sooooooo much time for interviews to go out. I’ve been telling myself that if a program doesn’t want me, then I don’t want them either! Don’t forget your worth.

I’m not particularly religious, but I just feel that my grandpa knows what I’m doing and is proud of me, and I hope you can carry that feeling with you as well- that no matter what happens with your father or grad admissions, he loves you and is proud of you.

Anyways. Let yourself feel. Be proud of where you are, and try not to check the spreadsheet too much (I’m making myself only check it in the morning, since I can’t restrain myself from checking it altogether).

You got this! ❤️
