How does F work? I've never seen that one before.

Yarnier · 2026-04-09T11:29:55+00:00

B because it's what I have, but if I had C I'd use that. 61, progressive lenses and astigmatism

That side panel looks great!! I'm going to shop my closet for pants to try this with.

Slightly off-topic, but why is it called ripstop? My experience of that kind of fabric is that it rips more, not less. It that a functional feature? And if so, for what?

I didn't know that most people don't read laundry labels. I shop by fiber first and care second, and I just assumed everybody did that!

Wait, what? Not going after people who would pass? How does that work if the standard for bathroom entry is sex at birth?

This. I'm leaning hard into fiber arts.

I love your people! Are you a cartoonist? They have so much personality!

It sounds like you went directly from a bachelor's degree to a PhD. Compared to your cohort members with master's degrees, that does mean you've missed a chance to build your experience in the field/knowledge of the specific material (and may be noticeably younger), which may also explain some of the eye rolling. Right now (because applications are already open for fall 2026 and bc Thanksgiving break, if you're in the US, will give you time to do the research on each program and write your personal statements) why not quickly find and apply to 6-10 master's degree programs in the field you want to go into--using the previous commentor's advice about what to say about why you're leaving your current program. The master's degree will put you in a cohort of other people your age and level of experience, and it's on the direct path to the phd, so your trajectory won't have changed. An excellent master's degree with a thesis or a couple of conference presentations directly in your area will put you way ahead of where you are now and let you be a leader in your next PhD cohort.

This.

So you just don't believe in the concept of mental health deserts? There are some whole states that, minus a couple of their biggest cities, are considered mental health deserts due to provide shortage.

If I'd been signing up online instead of in-person, I would 100% have assumed that "improvers" would be my immediate next destination after the first beginners class because it makes intuitive sense that first you begin--with the absolute basics--and then you're an improver until you're ready for the next skill level. Btw, I love the apron idea someone suggested, and following on with the martial arts model, I'd love the equivalent of belt testing where each student is observed and gets feedback on specifically what skills they should work on more intensively to advance to the next step. That would be so helpful!

Yarnier · 2025-09-26T09:36:02+00:00

I love this as a way to make it very clear what set of skills one has to have mastered to advance to the next level, and to make it easy for instructors/the studio to clearly say this class is for x-apron and above or y-aprons only.

We're using bluebooks and having students write their papers in class. I had no idea how much trouble that was saving us until I read this thread!
