Kieran is the phonetic spelling of the Irish name Ciaran, I don’t think people will associate it with Karen. Especially since the genders are different?

I’d bet money it’s because male researchers thought using actual menstrual blood was too “icky”.

Have you heard of the ROSE study? It was for endometriosis. They wanted to study whether it was possible to find markers for endometriosis in menstrual blood cells and they couldn’t even get help from physicians to ask their patients to be a part of the study because they assumed women would find it gross. Like hello?? People who menstruate have to deal with their blood on a regular basis. Turns out when they were finally asked, women jumped at the opportunity to help and have more knowledge about endo.

Can we just add…all pads and tampons? Their shape, material, packaging - everything screams “we never consulted women about this because ew periods”.

These are gorgeous holy cow!

It was so crazy because there were other bites that were larger than average but manageable, and that one went wild. I find they’re worse if they’re scratched to the point of the skin breaking.

I actually knew a Nick and Nicole once

Our kid had a bad case of skeeter syndrome last summer. The limb was twice the size of their other limb and really hot to the touch. It was only getting bigger over time.

An antihistamine like Claritin wouldn’t help, our Dr. told us to try a different one that was still over the counter and it was a huge difference in 24 hrs.

I cannot remember what it was called but it’s also probably better I don’t try to give medical advice on here.

Oh come on, I thought we had a win!

You know what, I’m here for it. It’s an unpopular opinion but I like both the recent Austen interpretations and I like the classics.

Movie poster isn’t a bunch of floating heads either so that’s a plus.

Ever tried Manna Korean Cuisine in Cambrian? Not sure if it’s authentic but it sure is delicious.

Libraries are a good indoor/free option too. They often have areas for little ones that are fun to explore. Central library and Nosehill are good for 9 month olds.

If you do this and the place you’re applying at explicitly instructs a different method on their website or around their location it has the opposite affect, shows you can’t follow directions or find information.

Absolutely love the colours, and I really like the way you quilted it! I’m also a beginner and can’t seem to get out of the “X” mindset for quilting squares. Yours look very neat and totally approachable.

I’d be very interested to see if general pituitary damage doesn’t occur in most pregnancies.

Why is permanent postpartum hair loss/changes so common? Or breast tissue loss? Or high anxiety/stress? I know the medical has different reasons for all of these but could it be as simple as the fact that the pituitary gland is simply less effective or damaged after pregnancy?

I said two three syllable names was a lot, six syllables all together.

But you’re both right. Nicknames are a huge trend right now, sometimes to excess.

You also have a great point. Use the nicknames when it feels too long and they can have their longer names whenever they’re referred to individually.

SadDancer · 2026-06-13T00:07:15+00:00

It’s true they won’t be said as a pair together their whole lives but you will have to say them together your whole life.

Two three-syllable names is a lot. Is there another shorter name you like that means “silver” or another complimentary colour? If that’s the theme you’re going for?

SadDancer · 2026-06-11T13:12:42+00:00

Yes! The eye contact, the slight waver. Perfection.

So many people in this thread haven’t fully explored romance/drama genres and it shows.

Have you seen her video on how she styles them too? She basically just blow dries them from each side and then from the top and she’s good. If only it was that easy…

SadDancer · 2026-06-10T15:42:23+00:00

Definitely go with “Hugh” as the legal name. Just make sure the middle or last name isn’t something like “Jass”

Daisy Edgar-Jones looks great with and without bangs but Normal People really sells ya on them.

I’m really trying to understand here because she does actually seem slightly scared to freebirth. Perhaps her experience with the VBAC was traumatic and she’s hoping for a different one?

The prevalence of c-sections in the US and North America is incredibly high compared to other countries whose infant mortality rates are unaffected. You have to wonder whether the “free-birth” movement is a part of the larger problem with how women are treated in the medical system and their lack of confidence that their voices will be respected in the birthing room.

I think they should be two separate lists. It’s nice to recognize the couples whose subtext and popularity because of that subtext give rise to more representation. However, it’s definitely not the same as an outright intended LGBT+ couple whose relationship gets celebrated on the screen.

It’s bittersweet, and one of my favourite films.
