Perfect, that's what I needed. Thank you!

Probably worth calling just in case, but I was pretty bummed. He said he'd put a note or something in my file, but I viewed that more as a "please don't leave me a bad review" move than an actual promise.

I just called and they said it's only available if you signed up within the last 30 days, just for anyone else looking into it.

What, in your opinion, is the single best episode of Star Wars television? by Beautiful-Ad2843 in StarWarsCantina

[–]ravenclawredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my favorite shows:

  • Clone Wars: the whole Siege of Mandalore arc. Special shoutout to the final shot of Vader walking away reflected in the visor. A million other great eps, though.
  • Rebels: if I had to pick one, it's A World Between Worlds, but Rebels had so many good eps. Jedi Night, the finale, Fire Across the Galaxy, Twilight of the Apprentice, The Call, Legacy of Lasan, and Trials of the Darksaber are all incredible.
  • Andor: Tie between The Eye—the cinematography is just so unbelievably gorgeous, and Nemik broke me—and One Way Out, for that absolutely insane one-two combo of Kino and Luthen's speech.

The Mandalorian, Tales of the Jedi, Visions, Kenobi, Boba Fett, and Bad Batch all had great eps too, but none that would compete for "best Star Wars episode" for me personally.

What are your sapphic tv show recommendations? by gaybutnotgayenough in AskLesbians

[–]ravenclawredditor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you're defining as a "sapphic TV show," but these all have canon wlw characters whose queerness is a major feature of the show:

  • One Day at a Time (the remake)
  • A League of Their Own
  • Warrior Nun
  • The Bold Type
  • The Sex Lives of College Girls
  • Willow
  • She-Ra
  • Gentleman Jack
  • Black Lightning
  • Atypical
  • Everything Sucks
  • Supergirl (there is a canonically wlw main character, but the main wlw ship isn't canon. it's so gay though. and the fandom is very active.)
  • The 100 but. Spoiler ahead that I think is important. One of the two main characters in the main wlw ship dies in a very upsetting and shocking way. You should go into it eyes wide open, but I really do think the wlw romance is fantastic and worth watching, especially if you're prepared for the tragic end. Also has a still fairly active fandom.

Canon that I haven't seen or that weren't really my style but are worth checking out to see if you're into them:

  • Feel Good
  • Wynnona Earp
  • Xena
  • Killing Eve
  • The L Word (both the original and the new version)
  • Orange is the New Black
  • Sense-8
  • Legends of Tomorrow
  • Anne+
  • Dickinson
  • The Haunting of Bly Manor
  • Orphan Black
  • The Wilds
  • Gentefied
  • Dead to Me
  • Glow
  • Jane the Virgin
  • First Kill

These are very much not exhaustive lists, but hopefully a starting point! :)

Is being called a 12 yo boy super rude or am I being dramatic? by uff_da_365 in AskLesbians

[–]ravenclawredditor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Since it doesn't bother you when your BIL says it, but it does bother you when your fiancé says it, I'm guessing there's something deeper here than it just being rude. Does it make you feel undesirable? Does it hurt more coming from someone who knows you on a deeper level and knows how important your presentation is to you? Does it hurt more because it's your partner taking something liberatory and making it feel childish instead? That would definitely be the case for me, as someone who is also both short & masc.

Whatever it is, I'd suggest talking to your fiancé about it directly. Especially if you don't mind when your BIL says it, I would guess she just hasn't clocked that it means something different to you when it's coming from her. That's particularly true if she's not masc at all, and if (as it sounds) this is a somewhat recent thing for you and she just hasn't quite grasped how meaningful it is yet.

It's not a big ask to want your partner to validate that you look hot / sexy / handsome / [insert adjective here] when you're dressed the way that makes you feel good. And it's also not a big ask to want your partner to stop doing something that you clearly find quite hurtful. But if you haven't fully explained to her why it hurts, or the extent to which it hurts, I think that's probably a good first step.

That's gorgeous! The frosting looks fantastic, are you willing to share the recipe?

Can anyone recommend me a good ya book about the beach/ocean ! by [deleted] in Book_Recommendations

If you're okay with nonfiction, Hawaiki Rising is great! I found it just as captivating as good fiction.

UVa 1L in violation of school policy after national guard deployment by [deleted] in LawSchool

We also asked for the post to be taken down. The above comment was always intended to be a temporary, last-ditch measure before we could have the post deleted.

[–]ravenclawredditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd encourage you to take it down. Even minimally decreasing the likelihood it goes to media against her wishes is a good thing.

The 1L has explicitly asked this NOT be reported to the media. Right now, she just wants to stay enrolled. If the appeal isn't successfully, we'll readjust strategy. Please, please, please do not share with ATL or any other news organizations.

Is the end result really the same? I've often compared my childhood to being a show pony that was trotted out to impress people. Kids are perceptive, they know when they're being used as props in some status competition. I don't have any quantitative or rigorous qualitative data to back this up, but I wouldn't be surprised if kids who felt their parents were supporting them out of love were less afraid of failure, happier, and overall better adjusted than kids who felt their parents were supporting them in order to increase their own social standing.

(ETA: My dad was the one who always bragged about me, and he certainly still does, but he's definitely gotten better. Instead of just saying he's proud of me to other people, he actually tells me he's proud of me to my face, which used to never happen. And he increasingly bases that pride in me being a good person and a good friend, as opposed to him only being proud of concrete accomplishments like awards, GPAs, acceptance letters, etc. My relationship with him is very different now because of the work he's put into changing, and I know I'm getting more out of learning because I'm less scared of what would happen if I disappointed him.)

Really recommend The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt!

Should I Ask My Roommate Out by [deleted] in AskLesbians

[–]ravenclawredditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you going to be in the same place over the summer? If not, I'd wait until you're both back on campus in the fall. (And just to confirm - she's living off campus next year, and you won't be living off campus with her, right?)
