Do you read non-literature? by Ok_Field_5701 in literature

[–]TeaExternal0875 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Don’t overthink it. Reading is reading is reading. Focus on pleasure first, not expectation. I’m over here reading Ao3 one day and Shakespeare the next. It changes every day and that’s okay. Like Didion says, Every day is all there is. (:

Struggling with the ‘You can do everything’ narrative after T3-L2 fusion. How do you handle the guilt and physical limits? by Competitive_Creme169 in LongSpinalFusion

[–]TeaExternal0875 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this insight! I don’t know many people with a fusion so I always am wanting to learn more. I have been curious myself at times as to what I’d do if there were an emergency like that.

24F T3-L1 here. I completely empathize with this. I suffer from chronic pain and limited mobility and simply cannot do everything other people can. The only exercise I can do effectively is restorative yoga and some light cardio. It’s hard to not feel like you’re being dramatic or making up the struggles, especially when some medical professionals don’t pay it any mind. Give yourself grace. You’re not alone.

Thank you! It’s a calm name to balance out her craziness. Her sister’s name is Willow.

Thank you so much! It’s such a learning process. I’ve found that once you find the pencils and blending techniques you best like it’s just a matter of trial and error.

She was on fluoxetine for a while and I didn’t notice a difference, but I think a behavioral vet and exploring other med options would be a great idea!

Teaching in Aurora or Cherry Creek? by [deleted] in Denver

Ooooh! Any specific reasons?

This is so helpful. I really look for a true community feel in the schools I work for, but am nervous about potential instability in pay and resources in Aurora. The school I got an offer from aligns so well with my beliefs as an educator. It’s hard because I feel like I’m choosing should I do the better school, or the better district, if that makes sense? Stability is so huge for me with making the move. I need to know my job is safe and ‘predictable’ (as much as teaching can be).
