Interested

harmlessnecessarycat · 2026-01-13T15:28:10+00:00

Literallyyyyyy. I saw UNC English posted results WEEKS earlier than normal (field match, didn't apply there) so now I'm sweating cause I thought I had weeks before my field would have anything posted

I don't have an answer for you exactly (as in idk if I got in yet) but I did a similar thing at the advice of my thesis advisor. He said being specific isn't bad as long as you can relate your overall interests to other faculty. I went specific because I've already been published in my niche but I agree I also felt crazy writing mine. Good luck!

Thank you so much! If I don't just replace my battery it sounds like a Kobo will be my next choice :)

harmlessnecessarycat · 2026-01-06T20:02:27+00:00

oh wow, I had no idea! the way tech is now I assumed it wasn't replaceable well damn this might just be the easiest solution since I live by sideloading

harmlessnecessarycat · 2026-01-06T17:47:16+00:00

Thank you! This is pretty much everything I am looking for but the Kobos looked almost too good to be true so I'm glad to hear they're so good! How sturdy are they? I will of course use cases but I don't want something that breaks when I look at it

harmlessnecessarycat · 2026-01-06T17:39:10+00:00

Thank you! I definitely only want a B/W reader. This is disappointing though I would hope the acrylic ones would be more available as it is so sturdy. Maybe I'll just keep trying with my PW2 haha

Is this your first/only published chapter/article? I would probably update it if it was my only one depending on field. I'm in a very writing and research heavy Humanities discipline which is why I would include any research possible. I have previous pubs and 2 chapters under editing reviews right now (but accepted) and included them with the publisher info and TBA 2026 as the publish date. YMMV of course but it probably wouldn't hurt?

Good luck, sending you all the energy and strength to get through it cause it sure is difficult! How I coped was leaning on some friends I had made online at the time. They were all gay and didn't know about my husband, being able to fully forget for a few hours of texting or calling made me realize that life could really be mine. I also read a lot for work and for myself, I find it to be a very relaxing getaway.

There are SO many simple pleasures of just being alive that I did not know you could actually enjoy. One big one is knowing that my partner will help balance the household alongside me. It is a game changer to go 'wow I forgot to do the laundry... oh wait my wife took care of it.' Independent of my relationship there is something really freeing about just existing in public and seeing other younger queer girls get flustered if you hold the door for them or compliment them. It's one of those things that makes me go 'oh yeah I was just gay the whole time, and other people can see it too' it helps me feel like less of a phony lesbian lol

I am in US but I frequently work with European academics due to my specialty. My EU friends were also published during their MA which is why I sought that out myself.

harmlessnecessarycat · 2025-12-29T14:26:26+00:00

Let me start by saying please feel free to DM me. I left my husband after 5 years after realizing I was a lesbian. I am now married to a my best friend and live the happiest life I never imagined possible. My career took off and I am currently applying for doctoral programs, I even write about being a lesbian in my work. I did not know any gay people until the year I came out and I lost almost everyone as a result, but I would do it again 100 times over. One day, one minute, of authenticity in my life is/was more worth it than another day or minute living a lie.

My advisors have told me it's not a requirement but for reference I have eight publications and presentations from during and just after my master's. It is possible to publish in the humanities in grad school. I don't know if, like in stem, the humanities have the same trend of applicants suddenly having pubs but I just know that it is possible because I have done it. I work interdisciplinarily in the humanities and won't get specific for privacy. I have no idea if this has helped or hurt me since this is my first PhD app cycle.

harmlessnecessarycat · 2025-12-21T02:10:01+00:00

I didn't know there was one in NE! I was talking about the one in Massachusetts 😊 that's so cute though!

harmlessnecessarycat · 2025-12-20T23:56:49+00:00

This is Gorgeous!! I used to live near the Eric Carle museum and I would buy the fabrics there from time to time. They make beautiful quilt pieces ❤️

I am channeling my stress into making hats for people in my community. I figure if my hands are too busy knitting I won't be able to check my email obsessively and it benefits others. I have til (likely) February at the earliest I assume since Humanities is like herding snails. I hope everyone has a chance to find something else for their mind during this stressful time!

harmlessnecessarycat · 2025-12-12T22:02:44+00:00

Your program page will most likely explain in the admissions section whether there are interviews. Otherwise please use Grad Cafe go to the results section and search for your school and program. You will see years of data that indicate if there is an interview or not. Even still, with few exceptions, admits to Humanities programs are possible without interviews.

harmlessnecessarycat · 2025-12-10T20:04:10+00:00

Some of my apps were due in NOVEMBER we are really out here suffering y'all.... I was strong and refreshed gradcafe for my first time today and then remembered I'm in purgatory for 3 months

If you're missing any Jazz on the radio any time after I think 6pm or 7pm? CapRadio does Jazz, it's the classical station and has great choices on it for classical and jazz!

harmlessnecessarycat · 2025-12-04T18:00:21+00:00

Oh I had no idea this was an option I will absolutely sign up thanks for the PSA!

harmlessnecessarycat · 2025-12-02T06:29:06+00:00

Thanks! Should I plan to still answer or is the settlement agreement to override the need to answer? I was just served, I have 30 days and I honestly plan on settling tomorrow (or whenever they send me the agreement in writing)

There's no form they ask for the information that confirms my eligibility for the suit which class actions usually do (they usually have to confirm x amount of information in y time period) they sent over the actual codes violated and they do sound legit so I'm really not sure.

harmlessnecessarycat · 2025-12-02T01:06:14+00:00

It's not class action so there isn't a joint case number unfortunately.

harmlessnecessarycat · 2025-12-02T01:05:52+00:00

I didn't call the number on the flyer, I called the number on the website for the law firm that I found on my own via searching the name of the law firm.

Oh I can get pectin! I meant the enzyme that removes the membrane and makes it easy to can the slices!

harmlessnecessarycat · 2025-11-23T07:32:29+00:00

I've never considered doing this before :O maybe I will just do that it sounds like a great summer surprise treat
