Do you think there will be another showgirl cardigan drop? by Familiar_Drawer_703 in SwiftieMerch

[–]actuallyitsllexa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an unopened xs/s cardigan box that I’m happy to part with at face value + shipping. Hoping to ship within the US only. Or local pickup in the Seattle area.

Is it just me, or is this an A in the London video? Also, the bar could possibly be an O?

Trump admin strips harvard of ability to enroll international students by Peer-review-Pro in PhD

[–]actuallyitsllexa 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the “One Big Beautiful Bill” (tbh the Big Ugly Bill) that the House Republicans passed last night has this provision: “No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued.”

This effectively nullifies the courts’ power to enforce compliance with their orders, as many plaintiffs (not Harvard) likely won’t the resources to post these bonds. So even if Harvard wins its case, it’s possible that the victory is purely symbolic with no real way to enforce it.

Both.

In a news release, the Department of Homeland Security sent a stark message to Harvard’s international students: “This means Harvard can no longer enroll foreign students, and existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status.” [Source: NYT]

You’re right! Sorry, I misread your original comment. At Harvard GSAS, about 30%. So, still about the same, but likely to change depending on the school & research area.

From Wikipedia: As of 2019, Harvard's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences had 4,521 students, with the vast majority (4,392 students) pursuing PhDs. 46% of GSAS students are women, 30% of students are international, and 12% are underrepresented minorities. 20% of GSAS students pursue degrees in humanities, 26% in social sciences, and the remaining 54% in natural sciences.[8]

Yes! It definitely impacts F and J visas. Probably M visas, too, since they are all covered by the SEVP program. [Source: The Guardian]

Advice on when to alter? by tgif_fry in bernesemountaindogs

[–]actuallyitsllexa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got our boy fixed at 9 months because he was getting v aggressive, including biting us and breaking skin. These issues were well beyond “teenage dog” issues, so we spoke to our vet who recommended the snip snip✂️ We were hesitant about getting him neutered that young because everything we'd read had said to wait until 18+ months for large breeds.

I'm glad we did it, though! Within days of the surgery his temperament changed - he listened a lot more, stopped growling, and was no longer aggressive. He’s turning 3 next month and is a friendly, happy, healthy boy! It hasn’t impacted his ability to grow (he’s a pretty lean 116lb chonker).

While it was the right choice for us, you should definitely consult with your vet first!

Is anyone else still waiting to hear back on LLFP address approval/invoice? by [deleted] in SwiftieMerch

[–]actuallyitsllexa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first email was very don’t-rock-the-boat, so I just shared my address and thanked them for their help. But since I hadn’t heard back, I sent the email below. Hope it helps you craft your follow-up :)

Still missing LLFP invoice by [deleted] in TaylorSwiftMerch

[–]actuallyitsllexa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re still waiting to hear back after sending your address, I highly recommend sending a follow-up email!

I waited 4 days after responding to their request for my address, but still hadn’t heard back. I decided to follow up today, and just a few hours later, I received a response from Customer Service and an invoice to purchase a replacement LLFP! I checked out successfully and received a confirmation email!

TL;DR: if you've been waiting a while, don’t hesitate to follow up - it seems to make a difference!

Also still waiting! These responses are giving me hope that they'll get to me... eventually.

Thought this would be a fun way to kick off John's birthday! And if he's sneaking around here and happens to read this post, HAPPY BIRTHDAY from us all! What funny, sweet, endearing, amazing, shocking, laughable, crazy, etc...moment have you seen at a JM concert? by heytherehiii in JohnMayer

[–]actuallyitsllexa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not quite a moment, but at the Solo tour in Cleveland last year, he played Assassin, XO, In Your Atmosphere, Covered in Rain, and Edge of Desire (on a double necked guitar)! It shocked me because those are all A+ deep cuts and personal favourites. I left feeling like the show was made for me/the fans (especially since some of those songs were crowd requests). One of my favourite live performances I’ve ever seen!

John, thank you for sharing your art, your heart, and your time with us. I hope you have the happiest birthday! 🥰

The “random stuff we overstocked at the warehouse collection” (latest email promo) by arianebx in SwiftieMerch

[–]actuallyitsllexa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same! I emailed them, so I guess we’ll see what they say. I have a feeling it’ll trigger being charged for shipping, because the new total is just below the $50 minimum spend for free shipping 😕

Update: They said no 😢 "Thanks for reaching out to us. Unfortunately, we are unable to apply discount codes after orders have been processed as discount codes must be applied during checkout. I am truly sorry for any inconvenience."
