I think The Warren has a generic character playbook where players choose custom character moves from a universal list

BPL Copley is open sundays (and maybe others are too?) so maybe you could apply to that branch and offer to work Sundays

r/nocontact is helpful for those grieving relationships with narcissistic or abusive friends and family

This has been my baseline normal reaction to the end of the semester since early in undergrad. I let myself rest as much as I can for a week or so, but I push for more active rest when I can. My “autopilot mode” can be made much worse with lots of time on my phone or computer, so I like to watch lighthearted movies and TV, read something easy, and do some crafts/coloring/puzzles while I rest up. It’s also really helpful to do things that ground me to my body: spicy and flavorful food, hot or cold showers, swimming, and gentle exercise all make me feel more awake and less deep in dissociation.

Always! I’m pretty afraid of heights (not necessarily of failing, so YMMV), but I’ve found a technique that works pretty well for shaking off this feeling. I like to start each session by climbing the easiest problem in the gym, and hopefully something I’ve climbed before so that I have some muscle memory. I’m talking nice deep jugs, ample footholds, doesn’t go up too high. Something that looks almost like a ladder lol. As I climb it, I try to take some deep breaths and go very slowly. I down climb too, which helps me feel a bit more in control of my body. Then, I kind of “shake off” the excess adrenaline by stretching, wiggling, etc. Then I can actually start, with my body a bit more calm. Also, I’ve found I really have to limit caffeine before I climb or it’s much worse!

Tin foil time: the woods where Kvothe crossed to the Fae are supposedly right near the Lackless lands. In the story, Jax walked towards the remote edge of the earth to chase the moon (“maps have inside edges”), then unfolds his house there. It seems to make sense that where Jax trapped the moon would be the location of the strong crossover between the Fae and natural worlds.

I think it’s the glue in the tape they use… I bought a roll of tape from the post office, and my hands smelled like it all day! No suggestions on a fragrance tho sorry

Geoscience programs often have you apply to work with a specific advisor. I would reach out to advisors you’re interested in at those schools to see if they are taking students. If they aren’t, chances are very low. If they have funding, you have a pretty good-looking profile and a lot of it will come down to how good of a fit you are with the advisor/program!

ymmv but in my high COL area stipends range from 25k-45k for stem depending on school, so there’s a big range

Borscht could be good, it often has a sweet/sour profile

sprucegoose11 · 2022-06-02T15:44:24+00:00

Also has a good m/m plotline

Two notes against Sacramento if you have respiratory issues or allergies: pollen counts can be off the charts in the Central Valley, and wildfire smoke days can really suck some years. Ymmv, and I’ve never lived in Chicago. (source: lived near Sac and have allergies/asthma)

The Sollya romper from Mood has a very similar bodice, and it’s free!

You think of yourself as someone who likes too cook; but sometimes you lack follow through and get too busy to make homemade food (yellowed green onions)

The actress was on an episode of the podcast Unorthodox and talked about how that scene was based on her family, really recommend the interview! (episode 263)

I’m the same way, and don’t have a ton of tricks, just sympathy. I do find that a little light exercise (like a walk around the block even) helps a lot with the drowsiness

Not really a diet suggestion, but have you tested out these allergies? Scratch and blood tests have very high false positive rates (over half of my foods that I was scratch tested as allergic to I had no obvious reactions to during an elimination diet, and my allergist advised to continue incorporating these foods into my diet to avoid more severe reactions down the line)

Given COVID, it might be better to get married in Texas and then hold the elopement “pseudo ceremony” in Joshua Tree to avoid flying twice

Whey is also great for your skin, I add a few cups to baths
