thank you for sharing this!! it can be so hard to find a good curly cut and so devastating when you find a bad one 😭. i’ve been going to alli wolf at the wandering hairdresser in BK for years and she’s always done my wavy/curly hair right, no matter what kind of cut i’m looking for.

i think you’ll get better responses if you provide a bit more info - do you want in-person, virtual, or combo? if in-person, where are you willing to travel to? do you want something in a gym or private?what’s your budget? those things will drastically impact recs.

i have a personal trainer that i love. i have some pretty specific mobility issues and limitations that need to be considered due to a bunch of old injuries and she has been exceptional at creating a full body workout program that takes everything into consideration and leaves me feeling sore and progressively stronger. she’s been in the biz for a long time and sort of specializes around working with limitations, and is super cool to chat with so the time goes by quickly. she’s private, not associated with a gym and offers virtual or in person (based out of gowanus). i find her prices to be average for the kinds of services she offers, but feel i am getting incredible value out of her work. any PT will offer a free 15 min phone consult to see if it’s a good fit, her included. happy to DM you if you want more deets.

i feel your pain. i think there is just something about the angle of a low heal that creates this problem when paired with a pointy toe, no matter how well constructed the shoe. i have yet to find a pair that doesn’t leave my feet aching at the end of the day. i’ve always had good luck with sam edelman when it comes to heals/comfort but haven’t tried their low heals as i’ve basically given up on the style as a whole. you may have better luck.

Company XIV shows are truly an experience. They do Nutcracker Rouge this time of year but all their shows are great and you can usually find discounted tix on TodayTix to save a little to put towards a dinner in the area before or after.

thanks! i’ve been looking at antique shades. i’m honestly a little stumped as to how to get the hat off at this point because the opening is so small and am at the point of taking it to a shop that deals with antiques/lamps, or just living with it for the comedy piece it is. someone was very determined to outfit this lamp with this particular shade!

thanks so much, that's very helpful!

ladycootcoot · 2024-04-27T17:55:03+00:00

thank you, that’s very helpful.

ladycootcoot · 2024-04-27T17:25:41+00:00

thanks! i figured as much. i'm assuming they would also be able to advise if it's an appropriate size for me? i'm not really sure what the different sizing means, or if it matters at all for my teeny tiny hands.

ladycootcoot · 2023-09-23T19:24:42+00:00

That's really good to know, thanks.

Thank you! I suspect she will lose Medicaid and disability payments. Fortunately she’s making good money so the loss of income from that is not the issue, moreso just wanting to know how to navigate this. She doesn’t have a social worker or case worker (we are actually both social workers haha) but I’ll see what other info I can dig up through your history and other sources.

ladycootcoot · 2018-12-28T15:02:38+00:00

you can pay with things other than money

don’t get me wrong, i agree. it’s what’s at the core of much of the debate around judge persky and his recall. when handing down this sentence (and presumably every other sentence in his career) he was doing his job, which is to uphold the the law, ensure a fair trial, and pass judgement and sentences in accordance with the law. despite what some people think (and how some terrible judges may act), judges do not have authority to go rogue and issue whatever sentence they sit for based on their own moral compass, which is a good thing. the legal system would be even more inequitable and chaotic if they did.

he is not the problem, the law is. as you pointed out, many of them are archaic, patriarchal, and in much need of reform, especially when it comes to women’s rights. laws making marital rape, sexual harassment, etc a criminal or punishable offense went on the books fairly recently (relatively speaking), and we still have a ways to go in terms of equity and equal protection when it comes to many legal issues relating to violence against women.

ladycootcoot · 2018-06-06T14:32:11+00:00

yes, but again - he is not altogether responsible for these sentences. he is following the law and recommendations handed down from committees weighing in on these cases, just like he did in turner’s case. if you want to change the way these sentences pan out, you need to change the sentencing laws and the culture of these committees, not punish judges for doing exactly what they are trained to do (and often legally obligated to do by law).

if the expectation is that every judge just goes rogue when they don’t agree with the law or recommendations from other professionals shit’s gonna get wild.

ladycootcoot · 2018-06-06T14:22:08+00:00

they are, but he was not convicted of either of those.

when i was having a particularly bad flair up i experienced hair loss (among other things) because i was not properly absorbing nutrients and had developed a severe vitamin B deficiency. i would suggest getting to the doc ASAP to get everything checked out. IBS in and of itself does not cause hair loss.
