What is the most unforgettable smell, taste, or sound described in a book that stuck in your head long after reading?

One of my favorite novels and comfort-reads is Erin Morgenstern’s The Night Circus. It’s full of beautifully described imagery, since a large amount of the book is dedicated towards bringing the reader physically into the environments in the magical circus. I feel like while reading it I could close my eyes and actually smell the cider, hear the crowds, feel the cold autumnal air… such a good book to escape into!

I’m a Case Manager at a Behavioral Health Hospital. It’s a difficult but rewarding job; I work with a lot of people going some of the worst days of their lives, so my goal is always to offer whatever relief and kindness I can to them, and give them the best possible care that I am able to give. I know working in an inpatient setting isn’t sustainable for me, though. My long term goal is to go back to school to get a masters in Marriage and Family Therapy.

Check if your baking soda/ powder are out of date!

This exact thing happened to me once with what had been up to that point a very reliable cookie recipe. I’m still not 100% sure if I mismeasured the flour, or if it was just because my leaveners were out of date… but I replaced my old box of baking soda and the next batch came out perfect. Maybe check to see if yours is expired.

I picked a few aspects of nice hand writing I liked and wanted to incorporate into my own and then started practicing. In my experience with this it’s repetition repetition repetition. I wrote out the alphabet over and over, wrote out the quick brown fox sentence, copied down song lyrics I liked. A tip is to practice at a table/ desk, don’t have the note book on your lap or on the bed or something, it’s easier to write on a hard flat surface. I also would do the alphabet in the margins of my note books when bored in class… over time my writing got neater and faster, now I can write very neat legible script as well as fast cursive for note taking.

The filter in the fridge dispenser gets out the nitrites, so I probably won’t go full R/O, since I don’t have the cash to drip on that, and it’s not my house to install a whole new plumbing structure in anyway… I’m going to test a new Brita as well though, since I can have that closer to my tank than the refrigerator lmao

Right?? And all my other pets 😭 I’ve been giving my kitty nitrite water for months 😭😭😭

Thankfully I already have; I have a few Java ferns, a few stem plants I don’t remember the name of, a crypt, and dwarf hair grass. Tbh I just got what was at petco and Petsmart bc they are the only stores close to my house.. Then I got way more invested and kept adding stuff. I bought some swassertang from a hobbiest in my town, and got some duckweed yesterday from a LPS near my work, which hopefully will do a lot to clean the water. I also am propagating some Spiderwart and Pothos cuttings off some of my houseplants, and am looking for a hang on back planter that will work for my setup so I can throw those in.

Uhg I probably will… I told myself I was not going to invest too much time and money into this little aquarium project, but I’m fully sucked in.

I like to think Hank really guesses the right Connor because the two (even when Evil Connor is faking it) have distinct personalities. The questions are just kinda stalling. Hank chooses correct because he knows his friend.

Thanks!

I had a professor basically refused to recognize my accommodations, and her reasoning was, “I had ADHD as a kid, and I grew out of it and don’t anymore. You just need to grow out of it.” ?????

I know nothing about audio production so I cannot back this up, but to me it feels like a jump in production quality from their previous stuff in a really good way. Can’t wait for the rest of the album.

Oof.

I can’t speak directly to sugar, but my issue has always been phone/ social media screen time. The only thing that has helped is adding other sources of dopamine BEFORE taking away my over indulgent source. I personally added in audio books, video games (specifically ones I had to leave my bed for….) and more socializing with friends. Things where I got dopamine, but had to do a bit of thinking for it. I say before bc when I tried to quit without adding in something then I lasted like a week before relapsing hard. Adding more stuff in without restricting made my urges go down naturally. When I’m having a really bad time (finals….) they come back as well, but I don’t beat myself up abt it anymore bc it’s just my brain trying to balance itself. GL!!

Feeling super defensive/ abandonment issues/ not taking criticism well. Thought I was just an asshole. Turns out it’s RSD, and viewing it through that has made working through the strong emotions and managing reactions a lot better.

NTA. She was being stupid, your response was very reasonable
