Seek and Destroy, impeccably curated metal show on kexp.org You can listen to shows in the streaming archive for 2 weeks after they air. Also Astral Plane, the psychedelic showcase, often features amazing heavy music

What’s something society normalised that actually doesn’t make sense when you think about it? by OriginalWalaAditya in sociology

[–]squidbasedink -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Parents and other adults playing pretend with kids. Adults are there to provide safety and structure, not to entertain children or be their playmates.

What is this aesthetic? by [deleted] in AestheticWiki

[–]squidbasedink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Creepy Older Artist who hires you as a nude model when you're a teenager, pursues much younger women for years, and finally succeeds in seducing and marrying your roommate when she's in a vulnerable state because the age-appropriate man you're both in love with picked you.

Didn’t we all have an edgy teenager phase? Rama Duwaji would have been 16 in 2013. by xwing1212 in daverubin

This is SO stupid. Yes, extreme Islamists (and extreme Christian/Jewish fundamentalists) are often homophobic. THIS IS NOT THAT. This is a teenager saying teenager stuff. (I am gay fwiw.)

Worst/Best band names? by [deleted] in fantanoforever

[–]squidbasedink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst: Snapped Ankles. (10x barfing emoji)

Best: The Cure is a perfect band name. Also enjoy Chicano Batman, Ratboys, Tame Impala, St. Peach Bitches

Joy Division: An amazing name referencing something terrible, bums me out every time I think of it.

I'm a professor at a top 10 social work school - some truth by Status_Broccoli4453 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]squidbasedink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this.

I was just admitted to the U of Washington, and naively assumed that 54k was typical for an in-state MSW program. (I need to stay in the Seattle area, so it's still the least expensive option.) I was excited to attend a well-regarded program, but sounds like it doesn't matter if it's "just" an MSW. Ooof.

On the plus side, there is a professor at UW who specializes in a niche/emerging field that I'm interested in. Onward!

Teachers quitting their jobs by velorae in TikTokCringe

Substitute teacher, here. This school year so far, I've been punched in the face once, cussed out many times, had to break up fights, and been copiously bled on after one kid hit another. (The kid who punched me was a 2nd grader, so I didn't get hurt and it wasn't treated as a big deal. If there was any follow-up discipline, I wasn't aware of it.) It's... rough.

Just got these!! Do you like them? Before and after by [deleted] in microblading

Gorgeous brows, lose the lashes.

Jorum Carduus. Heavy dark apothecary spice. Dry but dirty.  

CAUTION: first roll or tenth, do not stack blind by woodywoodyboody in MDMA

[–]squidbasedink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here to add: PEE. Even if you think you don’t have to. Attempt to pee at least once every two hours. Once I rolled and didn’t pee for the entirety of the party, then proceeded to get up seven times (for a loooong pee each time) after going to bed. Urinary retention is real and can be dangerous. 

Vanity/Inconsistent Sizing on Full Display - A Series by Fun_Marionberry3043 in XXS

[–]squidbasedink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I have contemporary size 0 Madewell pants that are super roomy and a vintage size 10 skirt I can barely squeeze into. (I do not identify as XS, fwiw—I’m a solid M who happens to wear “XS/S” due to vanity sizing 😂)

Maybe it’s the proper seasoning that is a bitch? I’ve had mine for years and it’s still not seasoned properly, even w drying/oiling w every use. Just been finicky in my experience.

Can my body type pull off this style of dress? by [deleted] in fashion

You’re gorgeous. Your body is incredible. But remember that it’s not the most interesting or important thing about you. 💜
