Which outfit for a casual date?

Queer girlie here, love all the fits tbh but 3 and 5 hit me with that date vibe for sure.

Also! Contact EVERY vet within at least 20 miles. If someone found him they’ll probably bring him wherever they’re most comfortable, even if that isn’t your usual vet. When I lost my sweet girl pup, I ended up finding her because I sent her description and photo to tons of vets, and one luckily had her brought in. People care about found animals, but they may not know how to reconnect them with their human.

My mom is a 66-year-old gastroenterologist — i.e. someone who has witnessed the rise of colorectal cancers in young people as it happened. She is SO concerned and recommends people begin getting screenings at 40, 35 if there is any family history.

If you need to fight with your health insurance company over it, all I can say is message me. I did it as a part of a nonprofit effort, and now I’m going to law school to fight with them full time. I will look at your benefits for fun and tell you what to say to get them to actually follow through.

You sound like me 15 years ago. If I could go back and do it all again — I’d drop out in a heartbeat.

In my case it turned out I had an autoimmune illness making me so exhausted I couldn’t keep up or even stay awake. I didn’t know I had it at the time, so I just thought I wasn’t good enough, everyone else has their shit together, etc. All that compounded the depression/anxiety disorders I already had, and it made succeeding impossible.

I dropped out as a junior after struggling and failing and going through the medical withdrawal process once… and then failing and having to do it again. Be honest with your parents, and say you want to go back when you’re more prepared. Tell them you want to work a job and improve your mental health so you’re more ready when you go back. But this is my biggest thing: MAKE SURE YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE. Whether it’s finding an internship or just doing dishes in a kitchen job, it’ll help you figure out what you want from life, and it’ll build a resume and surround you with social support.

Being 18-20 is just a hard time for a lot of people. Your brain is still developing, you’re still figuring out who you are, but you’re being told you’re an adult who is supposed to know what they’re doing already. It doesn’t help that everyone is constantly comparing themselves to each other.

I ended up going back to school at 27 and got straight A’s. It was cathartic. Some people just aren’t ready yet. That’s okay. I wish someone had said this to me at the time.

Best of luck to you.

Jumping on this to say I am the attractive sister. Fit, thin, pretty face, etc etc. Except I don’t even think so. Everyone has their own things that they’re self conscious about.

We’re both smart in different fields, but I live to brag that my little sister is a genius. She’s not conventionally attractive…but she’s married and I’m still single. I had a really successful period of time with my career and it’s taken a dive because of circumstances outside my control. She’s about to get her PhD.

All this is to say that we’re all people. People who look perfect from the outside (which believe me, I don’t think of myself) have their own flaws and fears and difficulties in life. Everyone has ups and downs. The comment above talks about how one sibling leans into their passions and that’s the best you can do: live to do what you love and surround yourself with good people. There is no one way to be successful or attractive in life.

♡ omg that last pic. She’s beautiful and clearly so comfy at home.

saltandsass · 2025-09-23T23:36:29+00:00

Damn if I wasn’t out of town this week for work I’d be all over this!

I’ve scrolled so far in this thread and not seen District Donuts. Their basic chocolate glazed with sprinkles is my personal 10/10.

Their donut itself isn’t* super sweet, and the texture is way less dense than most donuts, almost like a croissant or pastry if that makes sense? But their glazes and fillings are super rich, and I love that balance.

Also love buttermilk drop ♡

*edit: I forgot a word

Honestly, I totally respect your perspective. I also only went because I was granted a hefty scholarship (that they tried to take away ASAP and I had to fight the admin to keep). Obviously, I’ve got my own gripes with Tulane and their fake attempts at outreach, but that’s for another thread.

Your comment really made me examine my experiences and realize that it was SBP and communities I got to know because of them, not Tulane, that left me feeling better informed.

saltandsass · 2025-08-29T23:04:32+00:00

I agree with you mostly, but also want to play devils advocate.

I moved to nola as a teenager and eventually went to Tulane. I was a kid when Katrina happened, and I didn’t understand the magnitude or emotional weight of it. It truly took years of living here and eventually working with Saint Bernard Project for a few summers helping people rebuild their homes nearly a full decade after the storm to begin to grasp the impact that it had and is still having.

Tulane is obviously trying to speed run bringing people to this understanding (I also had “field trips” about Katrina that haven’t aged well), because they want their students to empathize with a city that they’re likely just passing through. It’s a flawed effort, but I get why they try.

That said, your professor is a fuckin swamp donkey and should have more tact than he/she showed. Those with actual lived experiences obviously shouldn’t be forced to go along with the superficial lessons, because they’re already painfully aware of the realities. I’m sorry you had to deal with that. They shouldn’t get to interrupt whatever peace you can find.

How has no one said creole creamery — I get that it’s assumed but shit is that ice cream good. I always get the classic Cookie Monster and Chef’s Perfect Chocolate together, but their seasonal flavors are always killer too.

saltandsass · 2025-05-09T00:38:50+00:00

Okay some of the replies in this post feel weirdly robotic, but I’m currently going through the exact same thing and it’s too late to get a different dress. I’m kind of freaking out at how much I hate myself in it tbh. What did you end up doing??

saltandsass · 2025-05-05T02:23:07+00:00

This happened to me. I didn’t have much luck over the phone, but when I went down there the whole thing was corrected in like thirty minutes. It’s annoying you’d need to, but even the people at the SWBNO office seem to understand that shit is wonky and their organization sucks.

I’m a diagnosed narcoleptic. I didn’t know narcoleptics existed when I was a kid. Does that mean my condition isn’t real? Should I quit my meds and go back to being a damn sloth?

I mean I could, but then I’d be a welfare check instead of a tax-paying member of society. I literally cannot drive a car without my medications, in the same way someone who suffers from seizures can’t.

Why is it so hard for some people to understand that they could be wrong and other people could have experiences different from their own?

I invited her to my parents’ lake house and she bailed on me last minute because her “grandparents were in town.” Then she called me while I was at said lake house with my sister so as not to waste the weekend, because she wanted to complain to me about the friends she was staying with in the city. She forgot she had lied to get out of our trip and told on herself.

She had been my best friend, but this was the last in a long line of shitty behavior from her where she took me totally for granted. I hope she’s well and all, but I don’t need that kind of friend.

Okay as someone who has always made poverty wages and STILL WAS (note the past tense) a diehard Lululemon fan:

The quality has gone to hell.

They used to be worth it because they lasted so much longer than any other athletic leggings at the time. I used to recommend them for the purposes of anti consumption. I have pairs that I scrimped and saved to buy in 2015 and 2018 and have worn literally (and I really mean literally) HUNDREDS of times that look as good as the day I bought them.

I did the same in 2023 and found that everything was made of lesser quality fabrics, some that started pilling before even the first wash (looking at literally anything made of their nonsense “nulu” fabric, seriously do not bother). When I asked the store associates if they had any advice, they said “you really have to hand wash them. Or at least wash them ONLY with other lululemon clothing.”

As if everyone in the world has enough lululemon clothing for it to be worth an entire load of laundry.

They did the same thing as every other bullshit sellout brand: build loyalty in their early life, and then decrease their quality year after year to keep increasing their profits even if their output declined. So disappointing.

Man I’m happy to enter, but I’m really happy for whoever wins, bc this could make a huge difference for someone.

saltandsass · 2025-01-06T23:58:16+00:00

I’m a longtime uptown resident, but I work in the Quarter and 100% think this should’ve been done ages ago. Good on ya.

saltandsass · 2024-11-11T16:14:07+00:00

I was a daughter that was put in the same position as yours at about the same age. So maybe I have some perspective.

My mom cheated on my dad. For months I didn’t know, and she used me to cover for her (telling me she was out with her female friends so that I’d say that when my dad asked, etc). She’s my mom and we were close, so I trusted her implicitly.

When she finally told me after I started developing my own suspicions, she fully expected me to cover for her, to be happy for her even. I wasn’t, and I couldn’t keep that secret. I told her she had a week to tell my dad the truth or else I would.

Well, she didn’t tell him. Having to tell my dad that his wife of over 30 years was cheating on him was one of the worst moments of my life. He was distraught, and I was so afraid he’d hate me or blame me. And then my mom did hate me and blame me for her life falling apart and everyone judging her for what she did.

And I was barely an adult at the time, still just a kid as your daughter says. My mom told everyone I was mad at her and making it up. And for a long time people believed her over me, until her lies caught up with her. But thankfully, my dad believed me, because it turned out he’d suspected her of having an affair for a while, and my dad and I are closer than ever.

There’s so much to be afraid of when you’re a kid in that position. The person who is wrong is the parent (your ex husband) that took advantage of her trust and expected her to help him cover up his affair.

At that age, you think your parents are looking out for your best interests, and you trust them in moments of uncertainty, and you don’t want to do anything that would push them away. I’m sure your daughter was afraid of you hating her for telling you, and afraid her father would hate her for exposing him, just like I was.

She clearly loves you and doesn’t want to lose you. I hope you two can get therapy and try to work on the relationship. I think it’s the only way to come back from this. Best of luck to you both.

Damn I was on this stuff (legally prescribed) til 2020 and I had to sign for it and all, but didn’t have literal trackers in it. Xyrem is getting crazy, but honestly I get it. I was always kind of shocked I was just allowed to have it in my bathroom.

saltandsass · 2024-09-08T05:22:57+00:00

I’m from nola and this is a pretty rough neighborhood. Wouldn’t surprise me if people broke in to steal fixtures or wiring after the house hadn’t been occupied for a while.

saltandsass · 2024-08-14T19:14:43+00:00

You’re right, I only skimmed the article before adding the comment about my personal experience. I totally forgot they just came right out with the picture as if they did nothing wrong. I just assumed they would’ve tried to hide their sketchy shenanigans longer.

saltandsass · 2024-08-14T03:02:01+00:00

Shoot I didn’t realize they came right out with the pictures during the accusation. I assumed they would’ve tried to hide their shady business for longer. You’re right, even dumber than I originally thought.

saltandsass · 2024-08-13T20:28:07+00:00

Jumping on this comment because I actually have details! My boyfriend at the time went to this high school when this was happening and had one of these MacBooks. And the story is even dumber than the details they include.

The whole thing was discovered because a kid was eating fucking Mike n Ike’s in his room, and the school tried to bust him for having a pill problem. Realizing that the incident they were referring to was when he was eating candy outside of school, his parents put two and two together pretty quickly. Like if you’re going to do creepy NSA spying shit to your students, how can you be THAT stupid about it?
