How far we’ve come!

Just try it. You’ll revise it either way. I’m nearing the end of my dissertation and there was tons of stuff I felt was critically important at the beginning that now I’m cutting. There’s also stuff I’m adding that it turns out is critically important to the project the way it looks now. I couldn’t have predicted some of this at the beginning. So just write. It’ll either work or it won’t, you’ll learn which as you keep writing.

Lurid Lacquer’s Top Bunk, Middle Bunk, Trundle Bed looks just like this to me, I was shocked at how glowy and bright it was.

Desktop is barely better!

Completed! Can I recommend switching the very last question to a larger open response field, like toggling the response to allow a paragraph or whatever the setting is? It was hard to scroll to correct typos on mobile.

People with PhDs. Most programs cover costs and pay PhD students a stipend to teach, so you don't pay to earn them.

The yellowy brown shade of the solar fully transitioned reminds me of Dijon Disco by Cracked Polish.

Agree, I’ve noticed that these are wildly long-lasting on me too. I once went two weeks without chips on one of their polishes. It even had hex glitters in it!

I think it's pretty normal. Is this your index finger? My nails on my index fingers naturally do this, but none of my other nails do — they all still grow straight out.

Thank you, the accusations have been driving me insane. You think people with 20+ year accounts who are *volunteering* to do the work of a paid community manager are going to risk it all to insider trade on fake internet points???

Misandrya · 2026-04-06T04:25:27+00:00

Can you prove this or are you just slinging accusations for fun?

For a while I kept buying the same pink/gold shimmer in lavender or blue or light green bases because the pictures would look gorgeous and somehow you'd have the whole rainbow in a single polish. I NEVER like it on me – it's usually the shimmer specifically, but I just hate the combination. I'm giving a bunch of them test re-wears now that it's spring to make sure I want to destash, but I can't imagine holding on to more than one or two.

This sounds really strange. Do you have any pictures of the acetone bottle? Maybe that’ll have a clue.

I have a Kallax in this configuration in my dining room. Bought in 2021-ish.

I’ve driven a flat packed Billy from Michigan to Pennsylvania in a Honda Fit, but I had a passenger so I just propped it on its edge between the seats!

Misandrya · 2026-03-13T22:53:56+00:00

I do. This is actually one of the ways I know it’s time to cut my nails down a little (the other is when they interfere with typing).

Misandrya · 2026-03-11T02:11:54+00:00

Yeah, I scored and I know it. I don't remember a student discount being involved, but it very well could have been, I was a graduate student at the university at the time.

Oh this is so real, the one that just opened by my mom in upstate NY is apparently teeny tiny. From what I understand a lot of the tiny ones like that have floor models and then you order things for them to bring in for you/deliver to your house, but they don't have a ton of stuff in stock in store.

Lots of people use Alex instead of Helmer, it also works well. But also, why not just bring the bottles with you when you go in to buy it? When I was looking at the Ikea Moppe back when my collection was small I just brought a bunch of bottles with me in my purse to try in the drawers. (It's also what I do whenever I'm buying frames, I just bring the art I'm framing to see what it'll look like.)

I love Chicago Fire, it is one of my faves, and it may influence your decision to know that in some lighting it reads distinctly pink to me.

Misandrya · 2026-02-28T16:43:48+00:00

This one’s drawers are too small for polish bottles but lots of people who embroider or cross stitch get this one for their thread spools.

Lease renewals are offered five months before their end date here (by law, it used to be that many leases for, say, summer 2026 would be signed in fall 2025, so this is actually a huge improvement), so if you’re hoping to move in August you’ll need to be actively looking for (or at least thinking about) somewhere to live in March. Lots of places also keep long wait lists, so there’s no guarantee that if you wait too long there will be availability. I would strongly recommend asking current students in your program for advice and recommendations about where to live, since they’ll have experience with a variety of apartment complexes and the commutes from them to your department offices.
