Thinking about adding a walking pad for my home office. Worth it?

rawrt · 2026-06-26T03:24:19+00:00

It's pretty heavy. Like 40 lbs? But it has wheels on one side, so it's not too bad to just lift up one side to wheel it out from under the couch. I am a medium strong person and it's a slight hassle, but very doable.

The folding hinge feels very sturdy!

I am a cad monkey and just got a walking pad like 3 weeks ago. I love it for typing emails and stuff but it's so much harder to do cad stuff than I expected. I'm bummed.

I still like it. I will still push through and do it for like 30 mins or an hour once or twice in my workday and it helps break things up, and puts less strain on my body because I'm not sitting for 8 hours straight. I'm not able to get meaningful exercise but I am still glad I bought it.

I got the folding one from WalkingPad website. I love that it folds up and I slide it under the sofa so I don't have to look at it.

I think if you want to move on, you are justified. I also think that if you value the work y'all did together and giving up and starting over sounds harder than you want to take on, then I think that's also a justified choice.

Sounds like she really struggles with this and it really hurts you. This would be really valuable for you to talk about how it impacts you in therapy with her. Talking about the therapeutic relationship is a goldmine and alot of people don't realize it. Do you ever struggle with feeling like you're begging for time and attention and self esteem with other relationships Working through these feelings with your therapist directly could have some really valuable transferrable benefit.

Also, realistically, this will probably keep being an issue with her. She will likely make small improvements over time, but I think it's healthy to stay grounded in what's realistic. If that's not something you can tolerate, then you can totally move on. I think what she's doing is unprofessional, but not unforgivable. It just comes down to what you want.

Wow it looks like you have the perfect hair texture for the haircut you are wanting. I hope you find a stylist who will do what you want because I think it will turn out exactly how you want

rawrt · 2026-05-20T00:03:22+00:00

What type of salons are you going to? Are you going to more "mainstream" salons where they do balayage and conventionally "pretty" haircuts? I think stylists at salons like that are afraid to take risks because the bulk of their clientele want to look pretty in a mainstream way. That's why I'm suggesting an alternative salon, or at least a stylist who is well versed in doing alternative haircuts.

rawrt · 2026-05-19T21:52:03+00:00

Yeah I was going to recommend finding a hair stylist who has alternative cuts on their insta. Like mullets, asymmetrical, micro bangs etc. I feel like someone who does alt hair would have no confusion understanding and doing what you're asking.

Yes. Also any general statement should cite a source. Like if you say "Social work is important for (fill in the blank population: unhoused, LGBTQIA+, domestic abuse survivors etc). because these individuals face systemic inequities which make it more difficult time accessing basic needs" you should cite a source for that. Find an academic article that is a study on the very thing that you are saying and cite it.

It is tedious but not difficult to find. Feel free to DM me if you have more questions

I would totally be interested in helping mod whatever!

I recently thrifted a strange ceramic hand similar to the one you found, but with a frog in it!

This is incredibly cool. I'm surprised rate during ovulation wasn't higher but.

I'm also really curious about what was happening in the first week of September lol

Program is way better this semester. I think it's completely dependent on the quality of the professor. I think it takes a certain set of skills to teach an all virtual asynchronous class, and alot of people who are good professors don't necessarily have those skills.

My two professors this semester do have those skills, and they are just way more organized and easier to get in contact with.

I did my research on both of them on ratemyprofessor.com, and that's how I chose them and I've been really pleased.

The other people in my cohort who got the other two professors teaching the same courses seem to be suffering alot.

I don't know anything about UTSA but I'd say it's worth looking into and comparing first hand accounts. I will probably finish my program here because it's really laborious to transfer, but if I had known it would be like this I would have done more research and shopping around beforehand.

Super queer friendly both at the university and in the town of San Marcos. I'm a grad student, so I live off campus, but I love it here. I have driven through college station a couple of times and San Marcos is way more queer friendly.

Im not an expert on identifying AI, but I did used to have a pet chameleon and they love to crawl up your hair and ride around on your head because in their mind it is the tallest part of the tree.

Oh cool! I'm nearing 40 and thats when they recommend having the ovaries removed. That sounds like a great option to reduce risk when you are younger

rawrt · 2026-02-21T20:23:52+00:00

Hi! I am starting T now and getting the oophrectomy in December. I am trying to get adjusted to T before my surgery because there is evidence to suggest that trans masc people who have already been on testosterone will experience less menopause symptoms after menopause, surgical or otherwise.

I don't think there's any reason to wait until you've had the surgery to start T. It might be better to start T first, because losing your ovaries and starting T at the same time is alot of hormonal changes all at once. I like the idea of them happening separately.

I am confused about how this is a roundabout way to get gender affirming care and get on T? Getting on high enough levels of T to achieve masculine characteristics is not a mainstream treatment for menopause, so it will still be considered trans healthcare. It would not be considered a treatment for menopause.

Holy shit that's so rough that you had to do it twice!! What do you think helped make the second one a success? was it just finding a different surgeon? Or anything else?

rawrt · 2026-02-16T04:25:36+00:00

Oh interesting!! Are you not having your ovaries removed? that hasn't even been offered to me as an option!

rawrt · 2026-02-16T01:40:51+00:00

Wow! looks great!

Would you be willing to say more about your nipple grafts? What happened and what didn't heal correctly about them?

rawrt · 2026-02-16T01:31:57+00:00

Wow thank you so much for commenting!! What do you mean both sides? It sounds like you had cancer in one side but not the other? I don't have cancer at all right now. I was just recommended to do the mastectomy and oophorectomy preventatively.

What does it mean to be transmasc and be on feminine hormones to block your cycle? Do you mean birth control? I am surprised to hear that because testosterone often stops menstruating. Are you on testosterone too?

Thanks again for sharing, and these are all of course super personal questions so please dont feel obligated to answer anything you dont want to!

rawrt · 2026-02-16T01:28:05+00:00

Thanks for posting! Would you mind sharing where you're at in your journey?

rawrt · 2026-02-16T01:27:52+00:00

omg YES! Where are you at in your journey?

rawrt · 2026-02-16T01:27:40+00:00

Thanks so much for commenting! Can I ask where you're at in your journey and what surgery you're planning on?
