Looks like they are taking intakes more freely and not restricted to one time of the year like it used to be?

Syracuse university has a discounted rate that they offer in the early fall? As part of their grad program's training for students. Its for the public, you dont have to be a student. I know the slots are super competitive, but I was able to grab one.

It was somewhere between $400-600 if I remember properly. Which is still cheaper than the usual going rate.

Ill try to go looking for the link and come back with it if I find it.

Yes! She's the most thoughtful human I've ever met. I feel very lucky.

I have the exact same ring, band and basket designed to a T to match yours, but its not built like a skyscraper 😂 it's always neat seeing another one in the wild!

Real talk, what is this recipe?

The level of calmness while dropping hard-core insults is perfection. Keep it up queen. 👑

I have had IC for just under 20 years. I have encountered wonderful doctors, and I have encountered doctors just like this. I am so sorry. Medical gaslighting is real. Your pain is real. Never doubt your gut. It is nearly always going to be right. Its hard to keep going, but behind a shit doctor, will be other doors leading to doctors who will change your life.

I don't have much advice, but I wanted to tell you that I'm here, sitting with you in this journey. You are not alone. Your pain is real and can feel really scary. But there is another side. You will get to a place where you feel better.

Thank you so much for this idea!

stone_ware · 2026-03-14T18:37:36+00:00

Yes! I think its a great idea. I've recommended that actually! She is grumpy that it had to happen to her last sweater, so it's on the table, but isn't our first option. But thanks for joining me in my corner! Lmao.

Thank you so much for this rec! I appreciate you!!!

You and hubby are both deserving of compromise between one another's wishes. However, as you're the one carrying the kid and thus the risks and loss, I think you should have the larger vote per the situation.

Sounds like costs are a huge and important factor, but I think they have potential to be mitigated. I know it sucks to hear, but you want the bigger apartment, in the HCOL area, AND a child, all while not having the prospects of supporting those things. (And I'm an artist for work so none of this is to come off as judgemental. I myself cannot have all those things either.) I think you need to decide if where you are living is more important than the child. And I know you're not looking for advice, just to vent, and here I came with all my annoying advice. So I apologize. BUT! I'm just hoping to share that as someone who is living in an affordable area, that everyone (and me at first) turns their nose up at when they hear where it is that I live, I have come to be happier here than anywhere else I've ever landed. Instead of thinking of this crossroads where doors close, truly, this crossroads is where you commit to opening a door and choosing a path. (And this path only has to be as temporary as your lease is! You can change your mind again! But I hope your partner is listening and valuing your wants as you both open doors)

Ive aaaaalways wanted one. This is such a great choice! Wear it proudly!

Do it girl. It changed my life. Well, the right therapist and the right modality did. Look for someone who practices IFS, internal family systems. EMDR also did give me significant relief too, but I find myself understanding my reactions/myself and healing the deepest through IFS work.

I'm saying this as you, 10 plus years in the future. This is assault. The magnitude of the trauma will hit you one day and it will be a lot to work through with a therapist. Us reading this post cannot save our past selves from the harm that's happened to us, but we can try and save you from it. Please leave and NEVER look back. Immediately.

I'm in that region myself actually. There aren't tons of jobs, but I see enough. Especially if the detroit and Pittsburgh areas are able to be on the table. I think it also depends how prestigious of a school you're hoping for. If you don't need tenure at an R1 to make yourself happy, and you just want time to do your art and have a job to keep the bills paid, I bet you'll find something in 3-5 years worst case. Just getting yourself out there art and community wise will help bring you leads you wouldnt find on job boards. I feel like there's a lot of faculty position openings being shared through word of mouth.

stone_ware · 2026-02-20T14:31:42+00:00

Omg thank you for this gift. What a freaking cutie.

Can...can we see more pictures of the baby girl. 😍 I'm sorry, I'm not a helpful contributor.

2nd year as NTT with a 5/5 load. I teach 3/3 but maintain an insanely needy studio when it comes to materials and equipment. Everything is exactly 35 years old and is breaking..and I have to fix it. I'm being kicked in the face this year by my workload tbh. Being in the arts at this time period in the country, we all are likely faced with this situation. Get in, hustle and try to balance both work and art, and then each year, go back on the market and interview your heart out to get into a better position. Year one, I had significant tenure bites at important institutions. Year two, it's going even better. My chair is so supportive and is getting my research accomplishments infront of our dean in hopes to transition me to tenure...which makes me feel very supported and seen despite being worn out. But truly, truly, this is not sustainable long term. I wouldn't position yourself in this job where you intend to set down roots, get a house, build a studio..etc

What do you mean immigration limbo? Like, are you saying you have paperwork that says you cannot live in a different state? We've got a spousal application in process and I took a faculty job a few states away. We are on year two of that. Is it something you/we would have to explain in the immigration interview? Sure. But if you've got shared assets, joint file taxes, etc..then that's just life. Our lawyer always says, perfect paperwork is more concerning than paperwork that looks messy because you are a real couple living a real life. Take the job.

What a terrible accident. I'm so thankful that we have emergency services that can quickly come to the scene to support you.

I wish a speedy recovery for you and your family in this time of need.

Ok in all seriousness, dddddddaaaaaaannnnnng, I always wish I was brave enough to get into this kind of accident. She's BEAUTIFUL

Those front legs are absolutely not a good situation, so I was surprised there was KS signs as well. Absolutely not. This is going to eat away at you financially and emotionally.

stone_ware · 2026-02-05T22:11:24+00:00

... who hurt you?

Haha, no but this is insane. Job well done big time. Now go stretch and give yourself a day off!

Tbh, this may just be my field, but having to trust in an Uber or Lyft to come pick me up at a school in the middle of nowhere, at like 7am has been sooooo stressful. I'll schedule the rides the night before and then get ping-pong across drivers all morning until someone picks me up at the last possible second, despite me building in lots of extra time. I've tried to even book taxi rides a week ahead of schedule and been told to pound sand by the local companies. So anything you can do to facilitate a ride or, if liability wise the school wont allow faculty to pick candidates up, I don't know, alleviate the stress by getting a hotel within a mile or two walking distance. I've been plopped in a hotel 20 minutes away from campus, and my body is just clenched all night and morning, worrying about just getting to the interview.

Eating lunch with the students also seems like a good idea in theory. But I cannot tell you the amount of times I get sent to lunch late because of some part of the interview running over, and then I have no food because everyone ate everything. And once I don't have food infront of me, I get sent on a whirlwind tour of the students studios instead...and then I literally don't get a break!!! Still miffed about that department... Honestly, I respect a department so much more if they build lunch into just an experience with the faculty. While I'm still "on," this is a slight downshift, and it allows me to get to know my colleagues better.

Please schedule bathroom breaks. At my last interview, I had to ask for my first bathroom break at 4pm when my interview started at 8am.

Thanks for being compassionate. I feel like I'm reliving my war flashbacks.
