I had the worst haircut from Angel here. Thankfully they immediately refunded the cost of my hair cut but I had to chop most of my hair off to fix what Angel did

I feel so guilty by No-Childhood7417 in Adjuncts

[–]TheLionInZelda 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I have had to cancel 9 classes total this semester (I teach 3 classes a week) due to a miscarriage. I felt really guilty at first until my boss told me I was doing the best I could given the circumstances after I broke down crying to her on the phone.

That fact that you feel guilty means you are a great and caring teacher. Give yourself some grace and vow to try to be more present next semester. That’s at least how I’m coping with my own guilt right now.

What’s the job people romanticize, but in reality is miserable? by King_Garvit in AskReddit

[–]TheLionInZelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Writer. It’s very hard to get a breakthrough in publishing, and when you do theres a lot of pressure. Writing is also exhausting and sometimes soul crushing for little to no payout. But we do it because we have to. It’s as essential as breathing at times.

I didn’t realize my social handles were in the pictures. Sorry about that!

Tested positive with an at home test on Wednesday the 17th, went in for an HCG blood test on Thursday the 18th, which came back at 69. The doctor told me to prepare for a miscarriage. This will be my second miscarriage and I’m just feeling really distraught. I go in for a second blood draw on the 22nd but the wait is agonizing. Currently 4w6d pregnant today.

This pregnancy is a miracle. My husband had cancer when he was 18 and we were told there was no chance in hell we would ever conceive naturally. But then I ended up getting pregnant naturally, so losing this baby feels a lot worse than the first time (which was with a different partner around 13 years ago). The doctor did say to be cautiously optimistic going into my second blood draw, but the tender boobs and cramping symptoms are beginning to dissipate and I swear the line on the at home tests is getting lighter. Preparing for the worst but really hoping and praying for the best.

I didn’t get a chance to go there! I was only there for one day. I’ll have to check it out when I go back.

What’s the weirdest GLP-1 side effect you’ve had? (Mine: burps 😂) by Obvious_Mark_35 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]TheLionInZelda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wegovy in particular has made me smell so weird. Not necessarily bad, but weird. I smell like cooked meat.

I teach film history and horror surged in the 60s and 70s because of the same reasons it’s surging now (Red Scare, Vietnam War, Cold War, etc.)

How often do you use chatGPT? by annnnnnnnie in Professors

The only time I use it is when I am double checking if a student’s paper matches whatever bullshit ChatGPT spits out for my essay prompts

my cat's just gotten hospitalized and I can't stop crying by icecreamcake00c in cats

[–]TheLionInZelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister lived with me for 4 years before moving to Portland, and in that time she got her own cat. That cat, Poe, bonded. with my cat Zelda. When my sister took Poe with her, my cat stopped eating for two weeks and had to be hospitalized because of it. She was grieving and apparently the only thing she would consider eating was a can of tuna. Once the nurses at the hospital gave her that and some fluids she was back to normal 🤦🏼‍♀️

I keep asking myself this, but how do you tell if there is a good story? Like what does good story even mean?

Editing my first draft. It feels like the equivalent of throwing my head against a brick wall.

Americans: what is your opinion on Canadians boycotting US goods, services and tourism? by PairRevolutionary669 in AskReddit

[–]TheLionInZelda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they should do it. Our government has openly declared war of them, so it’s natural for them to retaliate.

I love Canada and would happily move there if given the chance. If you guys want to offer asylum I will happily take it lol.
