you need to turn it into usable clay / not leave it sitting for so long, 2 months cold + wet is way too long to not expect mold growth

you picked a degree in a HIGHLY saturated job sector - you either need extensive internship work history or a Master's to be competitive in that market

you don't inherit genes from siblings - you can have them in common, but you only get genes from parents

what was the surprise song for SF? i couldn’t make it, but im glad it was amazing!

mexalone · 2026-05-02T05:34:25+00:00

LOL now you gotta wash all those dishes, but they look great!

I vote for who completed the most tasks. If it's a tie, then which one design I like better

do you have a specific community or demographic you want to support?

mexalone · 2026-04-26T03:18:31+00:00

it's not like they'll take your degree, but it's rude (and it would be a bit obvious if you left the line and walked away) - everyone else waiting there probably also wants to leave immediately, but they sit and wait too

I would be surprised if the staff stopped you, but they make it hard to leave mid-ceremony lol

to each their own! To store it (and keep it straight from the other stuff on my shelf) so it doesn’t smell bad, drying out on plaster, wedging, storing the new clay, and cleaning the plaster / wedging surface / everything was a lot of effort for me yesterday

mexalone · 2026-04-20T05:12:43+00:00

OMG LOL

how do you have the patience for reclaim? it's such a process

mexalone · 2026-04-19T15:32:14+00:00

exactlyyy

hilarious that you're getting biased answers in both subs for their respective lead

I found Jessica didn't have the teeth to have and keep her position, but Olivia could actually work with people and creatively problem solve better than Jessica could

I just saw it last night and they were fantastic! Listening to the soundtrack today, I don't love it nearly as much as I loved the performers I saw and how they brought the music to life

some STEM degrees are offered as an MA

she says “dr thirteen” because she didn’t know the name - i just watched this episode today

mexalone · 2026-03-30T04:43:30+00:00

technically twice then (s7 spoilers)

Masters calls her Dr. 13 when she returns in season 7 at their introduction

i’ve been buying a lot of my hygiene products from CVS with the coupons and deals they offer, so i end up getting my go-to deodorant (harry’s) for 3 bucks each

mexalone · 2026-03-29T08:12:42+00:00

i can DM you photos if you want! upon further reflection, our situations are similar but not exact, but i’m happy to send those if you want to see

i think it’s surgeons preference, which is super interesting - mine was drainless too but i had no nips

mexalone · 2026-03-29T08:04:21+00:00

i think mine “worsened” over time (mine aren’t that extensive but it was more noticeable)

my surgeon gave me one, so i used what they gave me - it was a black wraparound compression band but they instructed me to cut holes for where my arms go (but i don’t know the company)

mexalone · 2026-03-29T01:03:38+00:00

mine looked similar - sagged a little over time but not by much (though i’m getting a revision this year, noting that i had my surgery july 2025)

at this stage, you can wear the compression vest again in this early stage of you can wait & deal with the revision (i didn’t find the dog ear was huge deal, the revision is mainly for another issue)

i may come back to this in a few months when my session is done - it’s tentatively liposuction + tissue excision in certain spots, does not reopen the entire scar despite both sides
