I read the first line and was like, yeah, same here, that seems way too long. We do about 5, mid-late November to 26/12/, then the decorations kinda stay but the celebrations and music stop. Then I read the rest. I'm so sorry.

Microwaving some soy milk and stirring in some powder isn't exactly 'make'

Not at all. The genocide isn't new, it's built into the very fabric of modern Israel. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2001/may/31/londonreviewofbooks

As if your job isn't tough enough! Good on you for setting that boundary.

Me: if I DIY I'll save money!

My 30 bottles of nail polish plus files and oils:

You 100% are judged on your looks. As someone who's assigned female though, and usually lets interviewers read them as such initially, I have something to add.

There's a VERY specific type of look women have to have in order to be seen as professional. You have to be as flawless as possible, but you also have to be understated. Any 'fun' type of femininity is looked down on. The long lashes, long nails and red lips definitely fall in that category. 'Professional' for women means you have to spend a lot of time and money on skin, makeup, jewelry, nails, hair, clothing, but you can't have fun with it.*

Personally I'm in stem academia, where it's expected that you look like you don't spend any time on your appearance at all. Otherwise it'll be assumed you can't keep up with the men. Still can't have, for example, body hair though.

*Unless you happen to have fun with nude colours and understated jewelry and fashion. Nothing wrong with that!

If you can't ask family for a private space for an hour long therapy session, chances are you won't feel safe/private in the bathroom either. Maybe you don't want them to know you're in therapy. Much less sus it you're just out of the house for an hour.

Id look like that if I was using Microsoft software, too.

I have autistic sensory issues and the cheapest one I can at all tolerate to have on my skin is 15€ for 50ml. I have so many of the 5-10€ bottles at home and can't handle any of them. Fml

My brain always gets caught on this shit. Makes me feel guilty in certain situations bc it's classist to want by-the-book grammar, but sometimes I genuinely have trouble understanding. Word repetitions aren't that bad, I'll just read the sentence a second time and I'm good. But its/it's or there/they're/their being mixed up can take me a minute to understand. Also, figured of speech that evolved over time and don't make literal sense anymore, such as 'I could care less' often take me a bit. People can feel understandably offended when you ask if the mean 'could' or 'couldn't' care less. But sometimes, I genuinely need to ask. Honestly makes me feel shitty about myself at times.

Tbf part of the appeal of living in an apartment for me is that I don't have to talk to neighbours. I hate being perceived.

Half ashamed to admit but I'm white and sometimes something like that slips out when I see my partner. How are some people so perfectly milk coloured
