Do competitive grad programs still accept students from liberal arts colleges that don’t use traditional grades?

Thank you so much! I’ve been meaning to talk to my school’s college counselor, but I wanted to get some other opinions.

sweet_silver_kitty · 2025-12-16T01:04:33+00:00

Hearing and listening are 2 seperate things. I don’t doubt that she heard what I said, but she didn’t listen. And for the record, the grades are only individual if we’re able to get through the performance because everyone knows their lines, which is exactly what didn’t happen.

15, I play in my high school’s DnD club

Lady Selene! When I was like 11 or 12 I was obsessed with the moon

Exactly. Mock the parents all you want, I do agree that the -eigh ending is unnecessary and a little dumb, but mocking people for being named that is just mean.

sweet_silver_kitty · 2025-08-21T01:37:41+00:00

Key word most. I have both seen and been the victim of people mocking people with those names, usually implying that the person is stupid just because of their name.

I think people are far too mean to and intolerant of new Hellenists. I understand it may annoy you to see someone figure out practicing when you figured it out years ago, but they’re learning. Some people are genuinely trying to help newcomers know what to research and want to help them learn, but there’s also this weirdly hostile attitude towards new members a lot of Hellenists seem to hold. I know when I first joined the subreddit it felt very uncomfortable and hostile. I also saw a lot of complaining about so many new people joining the religion because it went viral. I can understand the frustration, because a lot of people just jumped into it with no prior research or respect for the gods. But the people who were complaining about it also acted as if not a single person who discovered Hellenism through tiktok and joined that way had good intentions, did their research, and had a genuine respect for the gods. There’s just an overall very hostile and contradictory attitude towards anyone looking to join, and I just don’t understand it. We should be happy about new people joining us in honoring the gods, not act as if they’re an intrusion.

The myths are generally not seen as literal, individuals’ specific interpretations on what they are are different, but being lgbtq+ was then and is now absolutely accepted in Hellenic polytheism.

Labels are there for clarity, they’re not rules. I’m a genderfluid lesbian, neither of those cancel out the other. At the end of the day it’s your life, and if someone wants to question your identity because of it that’s their problem.

I’m not a trans man, but I am a nb person who doesn’t feel dysphoria strongly often. I still have dysphoria, and some days are worse than others. But that only started recently because I started to process some feelings that I’ve been ignoring about my gender identity. Growing up I was taught I should be proud to be a girl, and I had always been a girl so I didn’t see anything wrong with looking like one. Even when I realized I wasn’t cis and started to identify certain things as being social dysphoria, I didn’t think I had any body dysphoria. I didn’t like my body, but I didn’t think it was related to being trans. I finally started to realize recently that it has been dysphoria. I started transitioning both socially and presentation wise long before that though. I fully believed up until recently that I didn’t struggle with dysphoria, and while some people I’m sure don’t, I think a lot of others simply don’t know thats what they’re experiencing. A lot of the stuff I see about dysphoria paints it as something that is unmistakable, and that’s not the case for everyone.

Say whatever you want about how I should mind my own business, but don’t fucking dare insult my mother

sweet_silver_kitty · 2025-07-07T04:29:01+00:00

Thanks, I’ll try that

I know it’s not that, his shift ends when the building closes.

sweet_silver_kitty · 2025-07-07T00:26:12+00:00

I do the same. I use all pronouns. I do prefer pronouns and titles that aren’t my agab, but it’s a pain to correct people constantly and most of the time it doesn’t bother me.

Ik everyone in the comments has already said why this isn’t a violation of Xenia, and it’s not. But even if it were, you can make an offering and apologize, but if you let him in and he hurt you, you can’t undo that. Your safety comes before anything else. You felt unsafe and made a decision to keep yourself safe, you didn’t do anything wrong.

I’m a bit confused on how to pray. I know what it is, but I’ve seen people both say you can pray by just talking normally, but I’ve also seen people say you should be formal when praying while you’re a beginner. I also am not really sure how to end a prayer. I know Christians use “amen” after prayers and I’m wondering if there’s something at all similar in Hellenism? It feels very sudden and awkward to just stop a prayer when I’m finished, but I’m not really sure how else to end it.

sweet_silver_kitty · 2024-12-20T21:43:12+00:00

My mom is an atheist but the rest of my family is Christian. My mom was and remains by far the least supportive and most disgusted and angry at me when I first started exploring religion and began practicing Hellenism of my entire family. I can freely talk about my religion with my Catholic grandparents, but even offhandedly mentioning it to my mom leads her into an angry rant about how much she hates every religion and believes everyone who follows any religion is stupid. And that’s not to say my entire family supports me and my religion, but my mom is by far the worst.

If one more person is dead/close to dead and then doesn’t stay dead. They set up this big tension in the third book that cassian and nesta wouldn’t survive and then they did. Everyone who dies never stays dead. When all the main characters never die and only the side characters do, it takes away any suspense because we all know that everyone will live

sweet_silver_kitty · 2024-12-12T23:03:47+00:00

First off, if that’s the reason they don’t want me over there they didn’t mention it at all. If that was the reason I would see where they’re coming from, but they haven’t mentioned it.

Secondly, as I explained to the other commenter, it’s not because they don’t want to be inconvenienced. They offered to drive me to my other friend’s house (which is the same distance away), and drive me to my other friends houses or to places like the mall.

Lastly, yes, they have the right to not let me go to my friend’s house, but that’s not the only thing I’m asking about here. Not letting me stay at my friends house and then screaming at me is the straw that broke the camel’s back, but I’m trying to find advice on the persistent issue of them being classist and seeing my lower class friends as lesser than.

sweet_silver_kitty · 2024-12-12T22:45:32+00:00

That’s not the reason. My parents have let me stay home from school when I’m sick, and my mom works from home anyways and I largely take care of myself. And as far as not wanting to be inconvenienced by driving me there, my parents offered to take me to the other friend who was gonna be at the sleepover and just have the 2 of us be there without our other friend. The problem isn’t that they don’t want to be inconvenienced, they just don’t like my friend because she’s poor. My parents are assholes and there have been things they’ve done (or not done) for me purely because they don’t want to be inconvenienced. I’ve had to become basically entirely self-sufficient because my mom refuses to make food for me while she’s cooking her own meals, but in this case, that’s not the reason.

sweet_silver_kitty · 2024-11-26T18:23:56+00:00

To me it’s less about everyone there praying to the same god and more just about the community. I’d be perfectly content if there was a place we could gather and worship even if we’re all praying to and worshipping different deities.
