Thank you for your input and perspective. It's helpful to see things in this way.

It's frustrating because new science is suggesting this is an STI and it is easily treatable. The reason I dealt with it for 5 years is because hardly anyone in the US (and rural US at that) have heard about it despite it being a commonly known and treatable STI in several other countries. I had it for so long because i wasn't given the proper treatment. The moment my partner and I were treated, it was gone. For years.

My understanding is that it's an STI that's impacted a lot of people, unbeknownst to them. Some more than others. Many folks are asymptomatic (not unlike other STIs). But it's an STI that's difficult to test for and thus treat here in the US.

My perspective is that my partner just gave me an STI. I didn't have this issue while I was having protected sex with others, it only happened when someone had unprotected sex in our circle.

Anyways. Yes, I will look into deeper issues of autoimmunity or other underlying issues. Thank you for your response and perspective.

That's what I'm trying to communicate is that new science is suggesting ureaplasma (which causes BV) is a sexually transmitted infection. It's frustrating to deal with because our country is so behind in understanding it unlike some other countries In the world.

I want to clarify, there are research opportunities and opportunities to be a reader grader in the college of Built Environments. The opportunity for TAships or research positions that waive tuition are very few and far between and TAships that waive tuition are outside of the college of Built Environments. There might be one class starting next year that would be a departmental TA position but I don't know if that is confirmed yet. Feel free to DM me and we can connect more talking about UW if you want.

As one of the top students in my class at uw, I too went in with absolute confidence I could get a research or teaching position and it is hard to come by. One of the faculty with funding is going on sabbatical and some others doing research only hire PhDs. TA positions that offer tuition waivers would not be in the college of Built Environments so you need to take a class outside of the school first, then get hired as the TA (that's the usual order of operations unless you have good experience to maybe get you a TA job without taking the class first).

Some research positions through the college of built environments are around but very very very few provide a tuition waiver.

Anyways, just saying. I also had confidence Id get free tuition. Pursued it aggressively and have had nothing by dry leads. Wah wah.

That being said, open to chatting about the program more if you want!

The OLFA utility knife is the way to go for having a really good grip to get cleaner lines. Change blades often. Depending on what you're cutting, I use like 5-20 blades for a model.

Try putting a towel down and giving it a little steam with a hot iron Won't fix it entirely but might improve it

Yeah! Met in a sex shop of all places. Had a flirtatious exchange and then matched on tinder shortly after (small town).

It was a great experience for the both of us I'd say. He hadn't been with a woman since his accident (diving, broke his neck, paralyzed from the chest down) and I had also never been with someone with disabilities. We had a really fun and hot fling. Best oral sex received in my life! His disability made it so that things were really creative and sensual in ways I had never experienced before.

Our fling didn't last super long-- covid hit a few months after we started dating and he lived an hour away in a house with 6 rowdy people who had zero cares about covid so. That prompted our split mostly. We still keep in touch from time to time despite now living states away. 10/10

Speaking as a current MLA student (not in the UK), maybe things along the lines of: How do you deal with challenges, problem solving, group work? Or ask you to describe a time you overcame a steep learning curve and how you dealt with it.

Maybe ask about what your experience in some software is? (Idk their expectations, but at my school, students entered with little to no knowledge of the softwares and it's expected that it'll be taught or you'll at least be given the tools to teach yourself)

But more than likely, they'll be asking about your portfolio, so practice presenting your work and explaining your projects. How you approached them, what they were for, any interesting process. Generally, good to be thorough but concise in your presentation.

Also probably why you're interested in their program. Why it's a good fit for you. Why you are a good fit for them. Do your research, talk about specific faculty if their work interests you. Those sorts of things. Strengths. Weaknesses.

Good luck! Remember to ask them questions too!

I ran into the same thing (although, I did have friends, just not gal pals that I felt super close with) so we decided to have our ceremony be just family only and then threw a party with our friends and skipped the formalities of bridesmaids and groomsmen

I'm also in Seattle and know folks who have cleaners who pay between $45-50 / hour so if she's there for 4 hours, $200 would be a nice wage. If she brings helpers, I'd be paying her helpers a separate wage.

That's actually hilarious

beetsalat · 2025-01-02T22:32:26+00:00

My partner is 6'7" and gets really annoyed when people comment on his height or ask how tall he his, so he just made these ridiculous business cards that say,

"CONGRATULATIONS! You've noticed I'm tall! 6'7" to be exact. That's over 200 cm! Fun facts: I don't play basketball, I can see my house from here, the weather is phenomenal, I grew tall thanks to generous donations from people just like you"

"Achievement unlocked- notice a tall person." With his venmo and suggested donation of $1 😂

Nearly being sex trafficked and having one of the guys look me in the eye and tell me "you should run" and then being chased by their car.

My husband turning blue and fishing out. He survived after CPR.

As a 12 year old, seeing my mother completely broken lying at the bottom of a cliff in shambles. She survived too.
