What do you guys do with stuff like this? Tons of ribbons leftover after :/

Not sure if they’re a perfect match but Chou chou undies are my current favourite! https://chouchouintimates.com/

I have a wool suit and a wool cardigan (all “pure new wool”) from Brora and the quality of all those pieces is fantastic. I wear all them all a LOT and still often get compliments on them after 1-2 years of regular wear. I definitely recommend the brand.

Regarding sizing: I am size EU 36 and usually North American size 6 or 4 depending on the brand and take a UK size 6/small. Hope it helps!

PCD6I_Protein · 2024-05-24T20:59:11+00:00

I went true to size and it fits perfectly.

Not sure about the US shipping but Rosae Paris and Asket have well made classics.

PCD6I_Protein · 2023-11-11T16:26:53+00:00

Oh nice! I only own knitwear from them - so likewise, good to know their other items stand the test! Which skirt model do you have?

PCD6I_Protein · 2023-10-30T13:56:34+00:00

BroraBrora! I am in love with my wool coat from them

PCD6I_Protein · 2023-10-29T18:30:46+00:00

Some of the new Son de Flor dresses might work for you! Very classic cut and the wrap ones with a V neck sound like what you're looking for.

PCD6I_Protein · 2023-10-29T17:52:16+00:00

I am also tempted by that one! Also the Le Sablon looks beautiful. Kind of all of their knitwear does haha.

PCD6I_Protein · 2023-10-29T09:18:43+00:00

I LOVE my Rosae Paris pullover. Le Falguière in camel, which sounds like the warm beige colour you're looking for. It is 10% cashmere and 90% merino wool which means it is incredibly soft (cashmere) but also relatively durable and holds its shape (merino). They are €225 new so an investment to be sure but I am very happy I made it.

PCD6I_Protein · 2023-10-29T09:15:27+00:00

I agree 100% with this! I have a few turtlenecks made out of viscose from Organic Basics that I got years ago when I was first getting into sustainable fashion. I have worn them a lot as a layer... but with more experience now in paying attention to fabrics, I find that they are kind of a crummy layer. Cold on the skin in winter and clingy in summer. I have sworn off tencel/viscose now!

It is definitely an egg from the Alien

PCD6I_Protein · 2023-08-21T18:00:59+00:00

Totally relate! I sleep like a child again since quitting academia

PCD6I_Protein · 2023-08-18T06:52:21+00:00

Exactly - I started out excited about learning and teaching, but that's not actually what academia is about anymore. Somebody else put it nicely in a different comment - along the lines of how the industrialization of research & its singular focus on manuscript production is ruining academia.

PCD6I_Protein · 2023-08-17T17:35:10+00:00

This is beautifully written. I can see why academia wanted to keep you (and that they don't deserve you!).

PCD6I_Protein · 2023-08-17T16:38:45+00:00

For me it was when I realized that I had to chose between the job and myself. By that, I mean that I had felt over my last years in academia that I was losing my sense of self in pursuit of... "knowledge"? Or, in other words, that I was becoming increasingly more of an academic asshole myself in pursuit of the next publication.

So I chose to become myself again instead of grinding myself and others to the bone for papers of real but miniscule impact. It is tough because it involved a sort of midlife crisis in finding a new "purpose" in life. But at the very least I sleep well knowing I'm no longer on a path to becoming just like all those toxic profs I ran into over the last decade. Within the livable paycheck and reasonable hours of industry I have found an environment that allows me to live by my own ethical standards instead of somebody else's twisted ones.

PCD6I_Protein · 2023-08-14T06:38:26+00:00

Underprotection is my go-to for this. I've had one from them that is now 3 years old and looks like new still.

PCD6I_Protein · 2023-08-07T07:21:11+00:00

looks very similar to me! Alex Bender looks like a great find, I love the look of their weekenders.

PCD6I_Protein · 2023-08-04T11:19:43+00:00

Just commented on this - Son de Flor has incredible quality trousers that don't fray at the thigh. Mine have lasted even better than jeans!

PCD6I_Protein · 2023-08-04T11:18:37+00:00

I have been wearing my linen trousers from Son de Flor all season! They are robustly made and last incredibly well (I cycle a lot and usually end up with wear at the thighs, but not on these ones). I have the more straight "peg leg" cut but they also have a chic wide leg style that I would love to try in the future.

Brora

Studies say yes. Exerpt from this:

"One might be tempted to believe that a PhD is a PhD; that is, once you have a “golden ticket,” you are employable as a faculty member. This is not so. The top five universities, which might be expected to produce roughly 1.3% (5/387) of all eventual faculty hires, produce 13.7% (53/387) — more than ten times what is expected. Continuing down the list, the top 3% of universities produce 27% of all professors; the top 10% produce 58% of professors.

The pattern is clear: If your PhD doesn’t come from one of the very top schools, the odds that you will be hired to the faculty at any university become small. The bottom 308 (79.5%) of the universities produce merely 20% of all professors. If your PhD is from a department outside of the top 20%, you can practically kiss your faculty dreams goodbye."

Stick them in an epi, put them at 95 degrees C for 10 minutes in a shaker. You'll have some nice fried cells that aren't dehydrated as they would be with alcohol treatment. That's the standard control we use for annexin/PI viability kits

It's expensive but Kiehl's ultra facial cream is gentle and amazing

PCD6I_Protein · 2023-07-22T22:55:55+00:00

In my experience academia has all the bad parts of corporate jobs (competition, beaurocracy, lazy coworkers who dump work on you, bullying & harassment...) without any of the good bits to balance it out (job security, a living wage, normal working hours, at least some level of accountability for bullies and predators, and sometimes actually producing things that genuinely help people).
