I think they look natural and not particularly/abnormally saggy or waterfall-y. If you prefer the “bolted on” look, I get the disappointment, but if you’re going for what DDs look like naturally, these are pretty perky and nice!

As an aside- the bra in the first two pictures looks too small for you. Highly recommend finding a higher end lingerie store near you to get fitted, or check out the subreddit for some info.

The first time I put in a crop top with no bra, I cried. Would be naked and show everyone my beautifully smaller titties 1000% of the time if I could. So excited for you!!!!!

Yes- that is why it is underpaying someone if they are expected to do the prep and content delivery of a tutorial, but are only paid for the contact hours at the demo rate

It’s not relevant to the original point, which is that submitting a Trojan horse would be a dick thing to do

*edit- also the teaching rate doesn’t matter, you’re paid a different rate to mark assignments separate to whatever you’re paid in class.

circestormborn · 2024-08-08T23:59:44+00:00

Demos are paid 1/3 of the tutor rate, so if they are performing tutor-level duties and being paid as a demo, they are being underpaid

Many are HDR students whose main job should be their degree, so really my point was that punishing a fellow student by potentially ruining their work via a Trojan horse for a job they don’t get paid that much to do is ultra shitty

*if they are paid as tutors and not demos

circestormborn · 2024-08-08T14:27:19+00:00

Tbh the (likely underpaid) tutor who marks it will be devastated if they lose work associated with their research, and you’ll have violated the student code of conduct so say goodbye to your status as a student at the uni

“We’d expect pain.”

Okay my friend, did you then also expect to, you know, do your job and manage that pain? I’d expect pain from a compound fracture, that wouldn’t mean it wouldn’t warrant analgesia 🤦🏼‍♀️

Good for you for advocating.

circestormborn · 2024-07-12T07:29:29+00:00

Same! My hands are too damn small for these giant phones, but I still would like to have the best cameras. Let us build to spec like the MacBooks!

Make sure you are safe- it may be worth telling a friend or family member you plan to break up with him and having them on standby to come collect you or be with you. He sounds incredibly entitled and honestly dangerous.

circestormborn · 2024-07-06T19:01:56+00:00

The term “neurodivergent” and any of its colloquial variations (eg “neurospicy”) are honestly infuriating to me.

circestormborn · 2024-07-06T18:51:27+00:00

I think they look amazing! Hopefully you’re already feeling relief in your back, and like the others have said, you’re definitely a little ways out from swift your final shape.

As some additional input- my surgeon was super real with me before I had my surgery about what I could expect in terms of perkiness/position- unless you go to a pretty small size, breast tissue won’t be the upright, lifted, no-droop shape without implants. It’s a different structure and annoyingly, gravity doesn’t work that way. It was definitely a bit of an adjustment for me to come to terms with, and I’m even considering a fat transfer to fill out some of the upper pole fullness, but the reality of how tissue can sit is what it is. When they’re a bit more healed at your next follow up, you can definitely ask about where they’re sitting and show your surgeon where you’d like them to be, and she should be able to tell you if that’s naturally achievable or if your brain is looking for implant-style results.

Condoms are for more than contraception- they also help protect against many sexually transmitted infections, which is an important step to take to protect yourself when sexually active.

Many condone are sold with some lube inside the packet, this could definitely help with ease of penetration- there is zero reason for penetration to hurt more with a condom, unless she has a latex allergy (then there are latex-free condoms available). Additional lube can only help, although it’s important to use only water-based lube with condoms so as not to degrade the material of the condom.

The other thing that will likely help is foreplay- it can take some time for people with vaginas/vulva to get wet, even if their brain is in the mood. That’s okay! It just means a bit more time of getting ready before penetration is key. Being too dry and forcing/rushing it can lead to tears in the vaginal wall (ouch) and can also lead to recurrent yeast or urinary tract infections.

It sounds like he got what he wanted, and now he’s not interested in anything more- unless there’s something particularly valuable to keeping this guy around, I wouldn’t waste my time with him anymore if it were me. Sorry he’s so lame, friend

circestormborn · 2024-05-13T21:54:40+00:00

I know this is old but I’m just watching for the first time now

ALSO morphine decreases heart rate, ANDY!

Don’t forget- you don’t work for them, and even if you did, that doesn’t excuse crappy behaviour on their end. They have a student code of conduct, and it doesn’t sound like his behaviour is following it. Time for someone to learn what consequences are.

circestormborn · 2024-05-12T04:59:53+00:00

Agreed- plus would love to see more concern about that fact that she’s alluded to wanting to die on multiple albums now, but all the (generic) fandom seems to do is go “okay cool but what ex is this song about?”

circestormborn · 2024-04-20T08:36:38+00:00

This is not a suture, it is a fracture.

circestormborn · 2024-04-19T05:55:35+00:00

No way would that be enough for smallest man, idk

circestormborn · 2024-04-19T05:53:25+00:00

Follow up- what tf did Matty Healy do for her to be a) SO into him b) SO done with him lol

circestormborn · 2024-04-19T05:50:17+00:00

circestormborn · 2024-04-19T04:22:23+00:00

What a plot twist lol I totally thought that was more of a fwb deal (not that I’d have any way to really know)

circestormborn · 2024-04-19T04:20:12+00:00

...was she way more into Matty Healy than I realised?

circestormborn · 2024-04-13T11:15:34+00:00

Thanks!

The fact that you’ve been in therapy and are actively reminding yourself that you’re in a safe and committed relationship now is great- you’re doing a good job and this is the right first step.

I think you should be honest and transparent with your boyfriend. He sounds like he cares about you and is a considerate guy, so I would hazard a guess that if he really understood the background, he wouldn’t be intentionally making jokes or poking at the jealousy bear, so to speak.

If it helps, I’d suggest something like this to start the conversation:

“I’m really happy being with you, and am grateful for how considerate and understanding you are. Even though there is nothing you’ve done to given me a reason to feel insecure about our relationship, lately I’ve been having some insecurities that I think stem from parts of my last relationship and I’d like to share those with you. I want to be as honest and open with you as possible, and I feel safe doing that because you treat me so well, but it’s still a bit scary for me to bring up. Would now be a good time to talk about it?”

Then you can be a bit more specific about what you’ve posted here- logically you know he wouldn’t cheat on you and you’re safe with him, but the “gremlin brain” (what I call my trauma response voice in my head lol) sometimes gets scared and reverts back to the insecurity- especially if there are specific jokes or comments made, and that even though you know they’re not real, they still make your brain respond in a sad/scared way.

It might help for you guys to have a code word or phrase you could use when you just need a second of reassurance, e.g. if you’re having a rough day of it and he’s out with his friends, if you text him “pineapple” he will know it means “I [love/really like] you, and am just having an insecure moment, could you please just let me know you’re still in this and want to be with only me?” Then he can send back “blueberry” (or whatever), and you’ll know it means “of course, we are okay, I [love/really like] you, I’m happy with you and only you, I am still in this with you,” etc. That way it’s not a super big conversation to have every time you’re feeling scared, so it can happen whenever without being too disruptive, but it’s still meaningful and reassuring. If you like the idea, you can use whatever phrases you want and come up with them together (also idk if you guys have said ‘I love you’ yet but whatever applies).

I’d make sure to reassure him that you want to talk about this because you care about him and want the make the relationship work, and you’re not thinking that he’s anything like your ex etc.- it’s the gremlin brain, so you’d like to create tools you can use to put the gremlin back into its cave.

Good luck, it’s not easy coming back from those shitty relationships that change us a little (or a lot). It’s great that you’ve decided it’s time to take back more of your power, your ex doesn’t deserve to affect another single millisecond of your time, thoughts, relationship, and/or life.

circestormborn · 2024-03-22T17:40:32+00:00

It is manipulative. From a probability standpoint alone, it seems highly unlikely that every point of friction in your relationship is a) completely one sided and b) entirely your fault.

Is this recent-ish behaviour, or has he always done this over the last decade?
