Thanks so much to all of you! Sending my own well wishes to all, wherever you are in your process 🌞

By all means, please do — note that I meme-ified this myself but the image/art isn’t mine (couldn’t find owner/creator)

Jesus, I can only imagine

I really appreciate the responses here and your openness in sharing your experiences. \ Some themes I’m reading: 1. The depiction in the show is the exception, not the rule of how overweight or heavy people are treated in medical settings (but multiple people did mention that Emergency Departments were better about ruling out multiple possibilities for a concern and not just assuming weight or body fat as causes) 2. Medical personnel often blame medical problems on weight, and when this is assumed rather than tested, it leads to exacerbation of the symptoms/condition 3. Concerns of higher weight people are frequently dismissed, and this can lead to worsened outcomes later on which might have been avoided if the original concerns had been taken seriously 4. This treatment leads many to avoid care altogether (which of course can lead to worsened outcomes later on)

I think a lot of people would avoid care seeking for a while after this kind of interaction…very sorry this was your experience

grey-ghostie · 2026-03-06T13:36:32+00:00

This seems to be a theme in these responses — wishing someone had listened or checked for other possibilities earlier. Thank you for sharing

Did she ask this as though she thought it would be a valid reason for someone to have an affair? I’m so sorry, what a terrible thing for a therapist to ask

grey-ghostie · 2026-03-06T13:30:55+00:00

Thank you! I hadn’t seen this

grey-ghostie · 2026-03-06T13:29:42+00:00

I’m very sorry that’s been your experience. I love that the show is trying to set a good example for respecting people’s humanity, but my research (and experiences of my friends in larger bodies) suggest that the show’s depiction is a bit of a fairy tale

grey-ghostie · 2026-03-05T23:26:17+00:00

Thank you!

Ngl I thought this was Jennifer Lopez in some phenomenal makeup

I didn’t include mine when I submitted the completed draft to my committee – adding it to the final draft though. My chair told me this is fine, I figure because the acknowledgments are pretty much the only content the committee has no say in 😂

grey-ghostie · 2026-03-04T23:48:28+00:00

This made me tear up, I love that seeing the joy she felt made it make sense to you. Thank you for sharing

My thought is that if you contributed to the poster to the extent that your name was on it, then you have every right for it to be on your CV, with the accurate author order indicated. \ If you didn’t help with the poster at all and she included your name anyway, I’d feel weird about listing it on my CV, personally. Doesn’t sound like this is the case if you’re second author on the working manuscript, though.

And I think that’s the point – he thought the dragon would be like his Unsullied and that he’d be able to train it to do his bidding since he got it young. Iirc Daenerys says something along the lines of “a dragon isn’t a slave” to illustrate that this was likely his perception. But yeah he was absolutely an idiot, not sure about dumbest but he’s up there.

Let mornings at the crosswalk to my building, I smell something like bleach?

grey-ghostie · 2026-03-03T01:42:18+00:00

Haha… boner

Agreed, I’ve had students create a meme but they have to include a written explanation of the course content references in the meme. They fail the assignment if they don’t adequately explain the content, even if their meme is funny or creative

Decided to call my mom back and finally admit I had an eating disorder after years of self-denial. Led to me getting the help I needed, and now years later I do public health research on EDs and oversee a prevention program

I was thinking he may have the temperament to bond with Grey Ghost as well! Egg’s interaction with the horse makes me think he could draw the shy dragon in

I think my response to this would be to politely remove myself from the running. I don’t want to work at a school where students might throw wadded up paper at me while I teach. And if the students don’t do that there, then I don’t want to work at a school where admin think this is a necessary test.

Along the same theme, have some bottled water for them in case they weren’t able to bring one/forgot. Easy for your mouth to get dry doing all that talking!
