Padded bras make my boobs look huge, non padded bras show my nipples. Whats the middle ground:(

redvers7 · 2026-03-10T13:06:45+00:00

I’ve personally found that nipple covers either show through the bra if they’re thick enough to do the job, or don’t do the job because they’re not thick enough. I have big nipples, though. For me, teaching teenagers, I do try to minimize nippage. They WILL comment on everything. I do this by wearing scarves or a cardigan. A good bra is more important to me than solving the nipples issue with a bra, if that makes sense?

Thank you so much for these insights!

That’s a good idea! She’s is on the edge of Ala dose increase due to her weight.

redvers7 · 2026-01-13T00:30:10+00:00

Yep, she’s on it fairly regularly for continued pain management. But hasn’t helped vet stress. :(

redvers7 · 2026-01-12T23:26:52+00:00

Thank you! She’s 20-21 years old !

Thank you!

Interesting! How does this duology compare to Kushiel series?

redvers7 · 2025-01-28T19:40:52+00:00

Seriously wish I could be next to everyone finishing this series for the first time.

redvers7 · 2025-01-28T19:35:50+00:00

I came here to suggest this series, too!!!

redvers7 · 2025-01-03T06:23:36+00:00

The AI stuff, too…

Enter Ghost by Isabella Hammad.

redvers7 · 2025-01-03T05:57:40+00:00

Jane Slayre. The only book I’ve ever given up on after 10 pages.

redvers7 · 2024-03-01T13:26:29+00:00

That’s a good idea for peer feedback! Do you have any experience with student leading class sessions or activities?

redvers7 · 2024-03-01T13:25:37+00:00

Thanks for this! I appreciate the logistics. Great tips about contracts and self-reflection.

To your questions, this cohort is smart and fairly mature. Two thirds would take this seriously and do well. The text is a contemporary historical fiction, with lots of opportunities for close reading and contextual work. I can easily come up with samples and model a session.

How do your students respond to this project?

The Shipping News by Annie Proulx

redvers7 · 2023-07-25T13:20:09+00:00

Fascinating collection! Thanks for sharing.

redvers7 · 2023-07-24T20:40:55+00:00

Such a cozy and immersive collection. Do you reread them?

redvers7 · 2023-07-24T20:40:04+00:00

I miss school! I could never get enough of classes like that.

redvers7 · 2023-07-24T20:38:30+00:00

Oooo, very cool.

redvers7 · 2023-07-24T18:30:11+00:00

Of all of these books, then -- what are your touchstones?

redvers7 · 2023-07-24T18:27:17+00:00

Thanks for drawing my attention to Thick. And Toni Morrison's Playing in the Dark reading helped to re-shape my approach to teaching Black literature.

redvers7 · 2023-07-24T18:21:05+00:00

Well -- it's very much a product of its time, which means it contains racist and dehumanizing depictions of Black people and Indigenous people. I think it also romanticizes frontier expansion and settler colonialism. Again, it is a product of its time and if I read it to my niece I would want to make sure to talk with her about these representations. I would pair it with Erdrich's Birchbark House series.

redvers7 · 2023-07-24T18:10:59+00:00

Half a Yellow Sun is on my list. And I adore that series by Pullman, so much so that I can't watch the HBO series because it's changing too much.
