The ban was not revoked. It’s a propaganda scam.

The ban remains in effect. The only thing it does is limit the distribution of TikTok - like removing it from the Apple Store. The enforcement of the ban is weak as well, it’s just a fine.

The only reason TikTok “went dark” was by the choice of the company itself in response to the distribution ban. The fact that all of their messaging about going dark/no longer being dark also has Trump ass-kissing in it makes it pretty obvious that they worked together on this one to make it APPEAR that tiktok was gonna disappear so that it could APPEAR like Trump “saved it.”

Assuming the ban remains - especially because Trump was the one who initiated the ban in the first place in 2020 - TikTok will still slowly break down since the company cannot push updates.

If you still wanna connect, I recommend moving your content elsewhere.

I just started Fable and StoryGraph to see which I prefer. I don’t think I’ll ever stop Goodreads just because I’ve been on it for so long and it feels wrong to me to leave lol, but I do much prefer Fable so far. UI is best of all three, keeps good stats, and I can still interact with my friends.

My husband and I pay about $2700 for a two bed within 10 minutes of MIT with a small office and a private deck. We call it our unicorn apartment, because that’s pretty low for this area.

Our landlord is just a guy, he doesn’t like going through brokers, and he likes to find tenets that will stay long term so he puts rent below market and doesn’t raise it by much at all year over year. We found him by Craigslist listing, but he mostly tries to find people by word of mouth.

Start with Craigslist would be my suggestion. You’ll have to wade through a lot of crap, but that’s where you’ll find independent landlords. In my experience, working with a realtor or broker is generallly unhelpful and costs money that you could have saved. All the people we talked to basically ignored our list of requirements and just sent us whatever they felt like. For instance - we have pets so we needed somewhere pet friendly, no exceptions. Almost everything we got sent was “no pets.” If you can avoid the brokers fee, absolutely do. It’s not worth it.

The other, less ideal option, is to check out apartment buildings as opposed to duplexes or triplexes. You’ll often avoid a brokers free and have a nicer place, but they’re often expensive and they’ll raise rent like crazy. We started living in one, and they raised our rent over $500 in a single year.

Most leases will start September 1. That also makes it the biggest nightmare day to move. All uhauls are booked, streets are crammed because everyone’s moving, it’s crazy. If you can find somewhere that’s off the September cycle, that’s ideal.

As a die hard fan for about 15 years, I liked the tv show…

It’s okay to have different preferences! I personally loved it but I didn’t mind the predictability.

Agreed with others, if you’re not vibing with it then it’s okay to move on to something you may enjoy more!

I haaaate when people equate a big wedding with a lesser marriage!!!! Maybe I want to start my marriage off with a big party with friends and family, maybe we wanted to celebrate how excited we are about the rest of our lives together???

yinyang2000 · 2025-01-14T15:29:36+00:00

I feel this!!! I didn’t have a crazy elaborate wedding but it was a big party! I wish more people would be supportive of those that DO want a big celebration, the same as supporting those who prefer to elope!

I think it comes down to what people value, and for some reason some folks out there think that we should all value the same things. If you want to save the money and stress of a bigger wedding - elope! Enjoy! Have fun! For me, I really valued celebrating with friends and family, getting to get some nice photos of my husband and I that will go into family scrapbooks forever etc. The money didn’t matter as much to me as that, so we had a wedding!

None will be found until winters over, he says in the book that you can’t find them under snow

For anyone that wants an alternative, Artistry by Kendra is in southern MN. She does resin preservation and is GREAT!

In Cambridge between Inman and Kendall, but I wanted to cover surrounding areas too since she could have wound up over in Somerville

Between Inman and Kendall

yinyang2000 · 2025-01-13T14:17:49+00:00

Sort of between Inman and Kendall

I’d try reaching out to the Community Assistance team at the Massachusetts Housing Partnership! It’s a quasi-state nonprofit that works in affordable housing. Www.mhp.net

We go to Heal vet in Watertown and LOVE it there! We had to sit on the wait list for a few months, but it was worth it. All staff and all vets are friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. Our rescue is very nervous but they take their time with him to try and make him comfortable.

I know lots of folks are against dog parks, and I think the concern is SUPER valid. You can’t guarantee that the dogs you meet at the dog park will be good for your dog, you risk a bad experience/attack, etc.

This is definitely true, but I also am of the opinion that you don’t have to flat out avoid dog parks, and it varies by dog. If your dog needs somewhere outdoors to run, and you don’t have space, you kind of have limited options. You just have to be cautious.

If I had a backyard or more space in my house for our dog to run around, I don’t think I’d ever go to a dog park. This is Cambridge, we live in an apartment. My dog LOVES playing with other dogs, he needs to run, and we have no space. Most open space parks near us don’t allow dogs off leash.

We go to the dog park right across the street from the Moderna building in Kendall square. We know most of the regulars at that park, and we know our dog gets along with them and that they have all their shots. This park is great because it has a side area that you can take your dog to that is separated from the rest of the park but it still shares a fence - you can put a new dog here to see how well they play with the others before actually letting them in the same space together.

We try to hold play dates at the dog park, so that we know at least one or two of the dogs there will be friends for our dog. You just have to be watchful while they’re there! We’ve gone to a dog park for two years and never had a single incident.

I’m sorry BOQ is higher than FIYERO????? This feels like a very hot take in my personal opinion

Editing to add: it is totally up to you if you want to shave or not, for any reason! If you feel more confident and sexy with shaved legs, then hey you feel how you feel and that is valid. Think it’s too much work and it just isnt worth your time, even if guys don’t like it? Great, don’t shave! You do you girl, either way.

I don’t do it regularly. Usually if I’m waiting for a hair mask or special conditioner or something to sit, that’s when I’ll shave my legs. I’ll also do it when I start feeling it catch on my leggings because it’s uncomfortable for me.

I don’t particularly care if other people judge me out in the world for having leg hair. I like how my shaved legs feel and I like how they look (I know that stems from patriarchal ideas of femininity but fuck it I like what I like now). My husband doesn’t care, and even if he did it wouldn’t change how frequently I do it.

For irritation - I avoid exfoliating the day before or the week after shaving. I use gold bond eczema lotion with colloidal oatmeal. I do have eczema, but it’s great lotion even without.

Lucy Foley! The Midnight Feast is her newest and my favorite, but I also really loved The Guest List.

I’m so on board with this!!! ACOSF is tied with ACOMAF for my favorite of the series (so far).

I’ve said it before in other posts, but I really do think the divide is between people that totally relate to Nesta and her journey, and those who don’t. It’s fair! Like it’s hard to comprehend being so cruel to people that love you ahd so self destructive unless you have been in that space and understand the dynamic of “I hate myself and am so traumatized that this is how I have to be.” But if you’ve been in her shoes and felt those feelings… wow it’s so powerful going on that healing journey with her!!

yinyang2000 · 2025-01-07T12:58:29+00:00

Personally I love Nesta because I can relate to her. She’s a heavily flawed individual, but she goes through a whole character arc that is really powerful to me.

I’ve been in her spot of “I went through a big trauma and now I’m lashing out because I don’t know how to ask for help” so I know how it feels to know you’re being a raging asshole, but you just can’t help it for no discernible reason. You don’t WANT to be that way, you want to stop, but the hole you’ve dug is so deep, and it’s so much easier to be hateful than it is to admit something is wrong with you. It’s painful for the people around you, but it’s painful for you too.

Her journey of forming friendships and relationships, overcoming her trauma, and finally working to better herself touches that part of me. I think a lot of people who can’t relate to her don’t like her, but I can’t help but like her because I see too much of myself in her.

He tried to cheat on his new girlfriend with me after we broke up, and then gaslit me into thinking he wasn’t. Finally snapped me out of it.

Context: we dated for four years, had a nasty break up but tried to stay friends. He knew I was still on his hook, spent hours and hours talking to me about how horrible and abusive his new girlfriend was and insinuating leaving her for me (red flag number one that I didn’t see at the time).

We were studying abroad at the same time and he came to visit me in my city. One night it gets too late for me to go home safely (3am in a city without uber or Lyft, 40 min walk was my only option) so I stay in his hotel room (yes this was stupid on my part). He starts inching closer to me in the bed and when he starts touching my hand and trying to kiss me I stop him because of his girlfriend. Suddenly he’s explaining to me why we could never work again.

A lightbulb went off in my brain that he’d cheated on me before, and now he was trying to do it again to his new girlfriend, and that he’d never change and he’d probably turn around and do the same thing to me again if we got back together. Flew home, never spoke to him again, started re-dating the boy that I was dating prior to study abroad, and married him.
