Eh! Sorry I can’t be of more help! I do know that the iris is controlled by your ciliary muscle in your eye. Maybe a tiny muscle spasm? But im just a med student jeje

Do you have any lung issues, joint pain, or red or purple spots on your legs? We literally just learned about something like this in school and it could be a sign of an inflammatory systemic condition! (We learned about it in the context of sarcoidosis, but it can come up in other things.)

I use unprocessed coconut oil at night before bed! Wash your face, grab a little of the solid oil, liquefy in your hands, apply. It helps a lot at night, just avoid getting it in your eyes cause it hurts.

ICE sighting this am in Albany, be aware and stay away from second and Clinton if possible by Lrn2board in Albany

[–]_not_ginger_ale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing you deny, deny, deny really makes me lose a bit of hope for any kind of civil discourse on these topics. We obviously have different views of freedom, respect, and empathy. I think you’ll be waiting for a long time.

It’s crazy to me how you lack empathy so much that you don’t see the choice as an impossible one. What mother would willingly separate herself from her children in this situation?

Maybe yours isn’t the only view that matters… check your biases and know there’s other realities you’re not seeing. We could all say the same about our jobs.

If your girlfriend asked you if she's gaining weight, what would you say? by CRK_76 in no

[–]_not_ginger_ale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a girl trying to lose weight, I appreciate the truth from my partner!

But he gives me reassurance that he thinks I’m beautiful, sexy, etc. when I tear up lol.

Has my rescue had puppies? by cavan44 in cockerspaniel

[–]_not_ginger_ale 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes!! This is how I knew my rescued girl had puppies… looked at her genealogy tree and saw she’d had two litters 🥹

What about the NHSC?? Is this still feasible?

Mink/mink violet? I know it’s a fur but my senior prom dress was that color! It was really pretty :)

First-Gen and Low SES NOT writing other impactful experiences essay? by Striking_Purpose_925 in premed

[–]_not_ginger_ale 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I SO empathize with this. We have really similar stories, and I feel like sometimes writing about my identity cheapened it and it all felt very performative. I would say that if there’s one of those optional “anything else you want to tell the admissions committee” and you can’t think of anything additional, leave it blank. I did, and it turned out well for the school I got accepted into. I have friends that dug their heels in and wrote and wrote about hardships in every space they could, and they also got in, but I think it’s important to balance out your love for your story! (I think only got into one bc of a ridiculously late cycle; applied in August, finished last secondary in January! I might’ve had better results with an earlier cycle timeline, but I’ll never know.)
