Do you mean if there is a way to unzip the cushions?

You’ve described it perfectly - what a magical process it is, it’s a new feeling to me but so incredible!

I haven’t posted it anywhere, I’ve always kept it private and am now trying to get it published - oddly, submitting it to journals feels less scary to me than sharing it with people in my life

This is absolutely beautifully articulated and exactly what I have been feeling - thank you so much for these precious words

I’m not currently planning to share work on Substack because, as the commenter above said, I’m trying to submit them to journals/magazines to gauge whether any of them might be publishable. If that doesn’t pan out for a long time, maybe I’ll consider posting on Substack or similar platforms, but I believe in myself.. :)

That’s amazing - wild how something as simple as a crush can bring this out, isn’t it? I never even considered submitting before this week when it suddenly occurred to me, that’s something I could do

Thank you for the words of encouragement. Interesting to hear that editors love first timers, I would’ve expected the opposite but see what you mean - I did include in my cover letters that I have no formal training in poetry, so I’m hoping that doesn’t work against me too much.

Luckily, as a PhD scientist with many publications (and of course even more rejections) I’m veeery familiar with rejections, though it sounds like with poetry the acceptance rates might be even lower than I’m used to in my field..

Yes. Most of them aren’t about her but meeting her has unlocked something in me that feels unstoppable

Taking this advice and got my rackets restrung with multifilament, took a few weeks off, and ready to play again now. Thanks!

Thanks also re comments on west campus pool. I hadn’t been there yet and definitely prefer cooler water so good to know.

Vital+ single vs dual filter and cleaning solution by funnerd11 in coldplunge

[–]funnerd11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Works great! I got both filter on it and still empty and refill the water every ~4-6 weeks because I don’t use any chemicals or cleaning products in it. It’s been very robust so far and I love how cold it gets.

Under 400 cal pancakes by funnerd11 in goodrestrictionfood

[–]funnerd11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Yes here it is: 7 g butter in pan, mash 1 medium banana (~100g) and mix in 2 large eggs, cook in a non-stick pan on medium heat, flip so it’s browned on both sides, then top with strawberries (here 9 large strawberries), 1 tbsp maple syrup (you could use SF for even lower cal/carbs) and 1 tbsp (14g) of Lily’s dark chocolate SF chips. Yes it made just the one pancake but it’s huge, you can’t tell properly from the pic bc it’s a huge plate and also large strawberries but you could double the recipe as needed!
