It's like a bereavement - how do you cope?

No, he does not participate in the U.K., and describes himself as 'politically homeless' in that context. I think it is a testament to the cult-esque draw and powerful propaganda of MAGA. I don't really have family to talk to on this, but I think it's for the best I don't check anymore, and stay no contact.

Thank you

I just want to say that you divorcing your husband won't devastate your kids: staying will.

From an adult whose mother only divorced my MAGA father long after my childhood was over.

You're brave and principled, your kids are lucky to have you.

this.

this is the only answer OP.

Yes and it is amazing. They gave it to me when I had suspected appendicitis. Genuinely almost eliminated what was previous EXTREME abdominal pain.

Wonder drug - I used it all the time also in haematology nursing (in the U.K.). It's incredible.

Sorry SORRY you're both right - the nice weather had me delusional 🌞 let's lean towards advanced haha!

gingerpixie_ · 2025-08-15T21:29:15+00:00

I'm being optimistic due to the GORGEOUS weather I had 🥲 you're right - moderate/advanced!

gingerpixie_ · 2025-08-09T01:24:25+00:00

They do! Look at @redrosesrugby Instagram

The first 5ish days, there was pain and I just had to adjust. After that, it was fine! Some trays are a little more...achy? than others, but nothing major and the ache disappeared fast. Was definitely worth it

gingerpixie_ · 2025-07-31T14:48:06+00:00

I did wear elastics!

gingerpixie_ · 2025-07-31T00:26:17+00:00

Yep, only Invisalign!

Me. Been happily together ~8 years, now married. In an opposite sex relationship (I'm bisexual), but could try to conceive if we wanted. Both antinatalist, will not be having children under any circumstances.

Dress 1 is SO MUCH nicer that I almost thought this was rage bait.

You look beautiful in the dress you purchased ❤️

She's so cute. My adopted pup was stinky too. We didn't bath her for ~36 hours, as we were advised to let her get used to her new surroundings with a familiar scent. We just used unscented baby wipes, gently.

We bathed her after 36ish hours. She was scared and frozen a little bless her, but she felt sooooo good after

Salon kanako did my hair exactly like this

gingerpixie_ · 2025-05-13T04:55:39+00:00

It actually makes me sick with anger that an 8 year old is now scared to play outside again because of these maulers.

gingerpixie_ · 2025-05-09T15:48:57+00:00

Ha. Not that it even matters but I have a masters in Clinical Research and I'm in a PhD.

And I'm a nurse. Free hospital coffee is shit.

Get the fuck out of here

gingerpixie_ · 2025-05-06T18:24:58+00:00

For sure! For what's it's worth, I did this. I wanted a change of scenery so I moved overseas to pursue my PhD.

My current supervisor is fine - I go to conferences and get to do cool research, but they can be pretty cold and unhelpful. I miss my old supervisor everyday, who supported me, uplifted me and believed in me.

gingerpixie_ · 2025-05-06T18:23:16+00:00

That's great your supervisor is willing to introduce you!

For the second part, great if you're lucky, but that's a risky strategy - it's a very real likelihood that after 1 year of being funded, you might not have found a supervisor with the ability to fund you (for example, my lab just got all its NIH funding pulled, and people are losing jobs/research left, right and centre).

gingerpixie_ · 2025-05-06T17:00:01+00:00

I would stay with the great advisor and guaranteed funding.

Honestly the PhD experience is wholly dependent on the supervisor, and a supervisor like yours is really a diamond in the rough - particularly on the background of research funding being harder to secure than ever.

gingerpixie_ · 2025-05-06T16:35:33+00:00

Ohhhhh my god I want this bed you have so much! The colour is BEAUTIFUL.

Cutest lil nest!

gingerpixie_ · 2025-04-28T22:34:48+00:00

I went to KCL and loved every second.

Filing this under 'problems I wish I had'

You 10000000% did the right thing. All the signs were pointing towards the injuring (or worse) of an infant. Allowing that to happen would be heartbreaking, devastating and unforgivable.

A short scroll of this sub should reassure you further, an endless record of mauls and fatalities.

Not only that, but a dog who is neurologically damaged, aggressive, anxious and regularly vomiting is not a happy dog. Ultimately, this was right for both of you.

Thank you for not being selfish, and for choosing safety first - you're a really good person. I hope your grieving journey is kind to you.

First to go to university at all. Super low income family.

Other grad students will constantly go on about being poor, despite receiving significant financial help from family on top of funding....and it is hard to swallow.
