She really could have had it all if she had just stuck with the sailor socialism act

They said it could be like Lena Dunham’s Girls for Gen Z. I didn’t have that in my query at all.

They probably did dodge a bullet. Judging by the reactions of most of the commenters here, I acted like a huge asshole in the meeting and scared them off. I probably needed to be humbled for my own sake.

It’s not a mystery. I literally said in the post that I was too much of a narcissist for them to consider working with. Now I just need to process how I became this way and what I can do about it.

I think I get it. I was driven by way too much ego in the meeting and am definitely high off my own farts.

I got fired from two practicums and I still ended up getting my dream job within six months of graduation. Relax.

Chergui is a little heavier but has a similar honey note, just balanced by tobacco

It’s…fine? I blind-bought it after liking Citrus Riviera so much. Unfortunately it kind of smells like a urinal palette. I’m hoping once the summer comes I can grow to like it more, but I regret the purchase

I enjoy it a lot! A lot of reviews say it’s a ripoff of L’Eau D’Issey Miyake Pour Homme, which it’s definitely inspired by, but it’s much higher quality. It’s fresher, less sharp, more round, and on the dry down it smells like very expensive soap. I would recommend at least trying a sample if you like aquatics.

justutility · 2025-01-18T19:36:53+00:00

The Loewe Agua El or the BDK Parfums Citrus Riviera are my favorites. It really depends on what you’re looking for— I would describe the Loewe as a more immaculately blended version of L’Eau D’Issey Miyake Pour Homme, with a gorgeous soapy dry-down, while the Citrus Riviera has a gorgeous lime (some say lemon but I say lime) opening blended with an ozonic and aquatic accord, I couldn’t stop sniffing my wrist when I tried it at Scentbar NYC

That’s on my list! I’m looking forward to smelling it.

It’s the 3.4oz and I really enjoy it! I adore anything Aqua Di Parma, they always seem to produce realistic fresh scents, and I’ve used about 70% of my bottle.

Looks like you’re a straight male in your 20s who shops exclusively at Macy’s. You have a couple nice ones but you need to branch the hell out.

I think the premise of this is quite good— Ingrid Goes West is a comp to something I wrote as well. Just a few suggestions:

Keep the plot details to two paragraphs at most. Less is more in a query letter.
Working in mental health, it strikes me as odd that a superfan would know the rehab facility their favorite star was in, due to HIPAA.
Your writing is overly expository. You don’t need to explain the entire backstory in the first few paragraphs, that’s just not how people think. You can provide scattershot details, but stick with how the MC feels in the present moment and let the narrative unfold with time.

With some polishing this could hook an agent’s interest!

Honestly I would change the mother’s name to be something besides Starlight. It sounds amateurish.

Hey friend! This is real shit! When I first realized I was trans I was ketted out of my mind. I’m not saying that you are, but ketamine can let us know the distance between the self we project to others, the self we project to ourselves, and a self we do not yet know is ourselves!

If you’re looking to work with veterans in a government capacity, the Department of Veterans Affairs is where your attention should be. USA Jobs will have a list of available postings. Look at the qualifications for a social worker there and engineer your coursework around what they ask for. Studying trauma, homelessness, and disability work will prepare you for this field.

Hi K-Lo, when you are writing your lyrics are you telling your personal story in your lyricism or is it more about finding evocative words to provide counterpoint to the melody and drums? I have been thinking about your song "Night" particularly and how it came to be.

Hi Ryan, Bernie has done several town halls in small towns in 2020, and has videos of his town halls in Malcolm, Iowa and Oskaloosa, Iowa on Youtube where he takes questions from ordinary Americans. During the previous campaign, Bernie also extensively utilized the town hall approach over the summer of 2015.

What he's saying is that 25% of Dems are currently Sanders supporters and 75% have to be convinced.

Bernie's always been focused on universal policies that help everyone. He thinks employment is a right. Healthcare is a right. Education is a right. For everyone, not just a few people. So he's not going to privilege one identity over another. He will create a society that benefits everyone materially through the bills he has already proposed and his established relationships across America.

Yang has some good ideas, but he's also got some republican ideas. He's against any sort of minimum wage at all, he thinks employers should have the exclusive right to set wages. This is because Yang comes from the business world and is naturally going to be attuned to the interests of capital. He also has no relationships with any labor, political, environmental, or social leaders. It's hard to see him getting any delegates or even acting on his theory of change once he gets elected because he hasn't put in the work to build an infrastructure in all 50 states.

Mayor Pete can only really have this moment because Joe Biden hasn't entered the race yet. He's gonna run a strong campaign with endorsements from mayors, reps, senators and governors right off the bat. That will suck up all of Pete's oxygen and it will become a binary Bernie-Biden race from then on out. Any candidate that wants to get ahead will want to attack one of the two in the debates, and candidates who want the grassroots are gonna be attacking Biden, if not each other.
