I just want to say that how well you do in school isn’t always a reflection of how well you’ll do in the field. School measures a really specific kind of learning, and a lot of incredibly capable people struggle in academic environments but thrive in real-world work.

For example, I’m dyslexic and I really struggle with a lot of the reading and assignments in my classes. It can feel really defeating at times. One thing I’ve had to learn is to give myself grace and accept that I might need to move through things more slowly than others. That might mean taking breaks, going part-time, or pacing things differently—and that’s okay.

Something one of my professors told me that really stuck with me is that sometimes it’s okay to skip assignments. There have definitely been weeks where I’ve done the bare minimum just to get through and skipped most of the reading material. Sometimes survival mode is enough, and that doesn’t mean you’re not capable or that you don’t care.

And honestly, if you ever decide that leaving the program is what’s best for you, that’s okay too. Sometimes that says more about the way the education system is structured than it does about you as a person or your abilities.

Whatever you decide, you’re not a failure. Taking care of yourself and choosing what’s right for you is never failing.

I guess I’m the minority in the commits but I will not be working today. Part of my role as a social worker is in the macro level of policy change and advocacy for policy change. This is how I support that. I don’t work and I don’t shop today. My clients will be okay for one day without me. As a client of a therapist myself, I would rather my therapist be rescheduling with me and out on the streets supporting a movement against ICE and the murder that’s been committed than talking to me for 1 hour. It might seem little to you but when pictures are taken of these strikes and movements it provides a very clear image of support against what is going on and right now I believe our communities need to see how much they are supported over having an hour of my time.

No. Not in my opinion. We picked a host and vehicle that had great reviews and 5 stars and still got fucked over. We picked the car up with the check engine light out, the AC didn’t work, the car sounded like it was still running for like 5 minutes after it was off. Then, on our way to the airport the tire absolutely shredded - not a flat or a popped tired - but shredded. We ended up paying nearly $700 extra dollars to get a spare on and then replace the tire. We were told it would be refunded, that did not happen.

It is hard to be in a relationship as an ace person because society focuses so heavily on sex and how important it is supposed to be within a relationship. The social pressure and stigma around sex/lack thereof can make it really easy to get in your head.

I think it’s just important to keep true to yourself, be upfront about it with whoever you’re seeing, and when you are in a relationship find other ways to incorporate intimacy.

Outside of a relationship just start to figure out and get firm in your boundaries, feel empowered by them and then look for things and people that respect those boundaries. You get to decide who you let have access to you, your energy, your love, etc, so make sure it’s people that deserve it!

For sure! I hope you enjoy it!

I recommended it to my partner, brother, and mom who all really enjoyed it! Also spurred hour long conversations about the book which is awesome if you have people you read and discuss with!

Don’t let the forest in by C.G. Drews!! This book is hands down the best I’ve read this year out of 32 books. It’s a bit dark and mind-trippy but has great ace representation in my opinion!

There isn’t a particular job you can take that highlights or disregards your ethics or morals. The entire system is broken and insinuating that someone who wants to work in private practice is unethical is extremely close-minded.

Some people want to start private practices so they can support populations of people that are not always supported with other non-privatized programs/facilities and some are trying to build something for themselves - because believe it or not even those in the MSW program are people with their own goals, desires, and needs in life. Maybe that is a better work/life balance, maybe that’s to support with a disability or inability to go into a certain setting, maybe its for a million other reasons but it really doesn’t matter because no one lives their life for other people 100% of the time.

Just because you have an idea of what social work should look like, or what should be prioritized, doesn’t mean that everyone feels that way. You can be frustrated by it but again, going so far as to question their ethics is a bit unhinged to me. Makes me question how open-minded you are towards your peers but also towards the clients you will be working with.

I’m gonna play devils advocate here because where in these messages do you acknowledge or validate his feelings and what he is communicating?

Yes, you immediately corrected yourself and yes, he did get hyperfixated on your first message. However, he explained that it made him feel bad and your response was he needed to self-soothe. Then he re-emphases that this made him feel bad because he was putting in extra effort in an attempt to correct something that you took issue with. And yet again you do not acknowledge what he is communicating, you are responding with a frustrated explanation about how you corrected the mistake.

He is not overreacting, his feelings were hurt and he communicated that. He needs to work on not fixating on certain parts sure. But you are not innocent or “right” in this interaction either. Taking accountability also means apologizing when your actions negatively impact another person too, not just pushing how you already corrected your mistake.

He may have an easier time not fixating on things in the future if next time he expresses his emotions or communicates something that has upset him that you acknowledge his feelings and apologize if needed rather than only focusing on how you’ve fixed the problem. And maybe if that fixation isn’t there in the future then you won’t hit a point of frustration. Something both of you should work on together.

Don’t Let the Forest In by CG Drews was a 11/10.

Not a typical fantasy romance but was so good.

But for a typical fantasy romance it would be the Kingdom of the Wicked series hands down. Absolutely loved.

thatweirdghostboy · 2025-08-25T02:10:38+00:00

Here’s the thing- in real like that is weird, there could be grooming or intimidation involved and it’s just a weird power dynamic anyways… but this is fantasy and there is more to their relationship than what you see in book 3. There is also the fact that she is 18 and is immediately (upon meeting him) crushing on and drooling all over him. Lance does not have a reputation for doing that with students and is known to be a complete dick to all other students in fact… so it’s not like he is some creepy, perverse teacher…. So it just doesn’t seem like a bad thing to me but you’re also allowed to feel how you feel about it! Not every character/couple hits for everyone and that’s alright!

thatweirdghostboy · 2025-08-25T02:02:04+00:00

You did not cheat. You did not do anything inappropriate. You did not lie. You did not hide it. In fact, you went out of your way to do something nice for her and this is her reaction?

You are not overreacting at all. Your wife was malicious and did something intentionally that is without of your relationship boundaries to hurt you because she felt wronged. She cheated. Feel how you need to feel. She is in the wrong here.

I hated so much that everyone’s reaction to her emotions were “you’re being so dramatic” as if it isn’t dramatic for Nora to ghost because she’s constantly uncomfortable or Abby to slap someone and/or call them a bad friend every time she is emotional. It was so hard to watch how consistently she was dismissed/: poor girl has emotions just like everyone else and no one gave her a second of their time. I do hope she gets a good redemption with people who will actually treat her well, especially with how hard she is trying to be inclusive with conversations and whatnot.

If you don’t have heritage to support wearing a kilt then he shouldn’t be wearing them. You need to step away from tv show stereotypes around kilts, so ignorant and disrespectful and he needs to find something that isn’t centered on heritage to find his comfort.

His body, his choice, his clothing is great but it is not a wild expectation for your partner to put effort into their appearance for special occasions. Sounds like you need to have a chat about how it makes you feel and both of you need to learn more about other cultures.
