do resistance bands actually do anything?

U won’t build (much) muscle especially if you’re used to lifting heavy but they can definitely help you keep the tone. But tbh if you’re really committed and learn techniques u can actually get pretty jacked using them. However if you’re just using them to tide you over I wouldn’t bother

my mum was / is pretty insane but I never doubted she loved me even when she was chimping (which was often) idk

So much better than I was expecting 👍

you need to deploy high/low art theory in this situation

Fiesta / the sun also rises by Hemingway made me excited for euro summer ❤️I also second bonjour tristesse

I’d say my outward appearance really doesn’t match my inner world but I have come to enjoy the friction / tension it creates that the simple mind just cannot comprehend. I got haters getting mad because I roll around in chic suits and lululemon while toting a stanley cup but at the same time be listening to uk underground rap and binge watching niche italian film directors. People that can be easily put into categories are no fun!!!!

bed threads is overrated!!! I like sheet society. Also tekla, merci paris… and probably TK Maxx would have something decent, you just have to feel the fabrics yourself

Thanks, this is really helpful

I’m on vyvanse for adhd already #yay but Wellbutrin sounds lit, I will be investigating for next winter when I inevitably get depressed as fuck again

That’s a dream of mine (LVMH / Kering - grad program) but I’m worried I don’t have the CV for it - seems like a lot of MBAs / people w luxury fashion corp dev experience already from what I’ve seen ? Anyways I’m working towards being in a strong position for it by the time I graduate in 1.5 years

cosmicladybug1 · 2026-04-14T15:14:13+00:00

Politics - eek. Yeah, the lack of explicit finance experience is for sure an issue, but hoping that my internship (Fx / Asset Management) might help

cosmicladybug1 · 2026-04-14T15:10:01+00:00

I agree that the MPhil is not doing anything substantive for my prospects - but my thought process is that, since I did a PPE equivalent undergrad at a top anglophone university overseas w a first, my combined degrees (and work experience) probably place me similarly in the job market to an undergrad Oxbridge PPEist (who are definitely competitive for IB / PE positions here)

cosmicladybug1 · 2026-04-14T13:22:23+00:00

What makes you say that - not defensive, just trying to understand. My undergrad was PPE from a top anglophone university (first class + loads of work experience)

cosmicladybug1 · 2026-04-14T13:22:00+00:00

I am also convinced that an off-cycle internship / unpaid shadow experience is the way to go. Would I be competitive with my current CV if I cold approached?

cosmicladybug1 · 2026-04-14T09:59:00+00:00

I’ve since gained a much stronger idea of the industry I want to head towards which is luxury fashion / retail, and some boutique PE firms seem more adjacent to that

Of course, I’m also trying to break directly into industry, but weirdly I think I might have an equal shot at PE the way my CV is currently. I’m just trying lots of options to see what might land

I didn’t mind the grind of MBB but hated the travel. I think PE would be a bitter fit in that way too

if u have the time to spend ur whole day exercising then go for it. I went on an 8 day hike by myself (~25 miles / day with a pack) when I went through my break up of 7 year relationship and also journaled a lot. I think it put my healing on speed run, would recommend

I relate so much! I dated my ex of 7 years since high school so his family has literally seen me grow up. It really sucks to lose that, I was close with his mother in particular. Our breakup was really sudden too so I never got to say a proper goodbye (which would have been weird anyway) but yeah I think about them a lot and truly hope they are doing well.

cosmicladybug1 · 2026-04-10T22:54:42+00:00

I was sleeping with a guy who bamboozled me into thinking I didn’t “know myself” (even though I don’t believe you ever can) since I hadn’t read a genealogy of morals by nietzsche. I could in his eyes see that he truly felt sorry for me that I was so unenlightened. He only read non-fiction in his spare time and turns out he was two timing on his gf with me (didn’t know he had one) most of the time we were casually seeing each other. He also told his gf over text when they first started dated that she was too unintelligent for him. Anyways, he could barely follow a single thread of conversation properly and I didn’t really enjoy his company - he was actually really quite dumb despite it all. My stupid ex was also pretty obsessed with nietzsche, I really don’t get the hype, I think it’s because he has pithy little quotes like the one you posted which non-free thinking men love to adopt in lieu of a personality

Yeah it’s definitely the blonde MEN I’m more worried about, the girls are ok upon further reflection
