North shore, Massachusetts. Several of these are planted around my foundation beds. I suspect they were added just before I moved in last year to stage the home.
I’m in the processes of swapping out non-native plants on the property for native ones (or at least plants that confer an ecological benefit).
North shore region of Massachusetts. I’m not sure what this tree is in my new backyard. It’s not particularly pretty but I’m deciding whether to keep things or plant new ones based on if they are native or have any ecological value. If it’s invasive, it goes! If it’s native, it stays. It’s maybe 9ft tall, idk when it was planted (or if it was planted intentionally).
The plant ID feature on my iPhone gives me completely different answers based on what picture I submit so I thought I’d ask some educated humans instead!
I bought a window well for this basement window. Could someone explain briefly how deep im supposed to dig, etc? How much of the metal should be buried (rn it’s just sitting on top of the mulch foundation bed). I keep seeing different things online.
The last thing I needed on my feed today was Cory Booker’s calculated smirk and glassy wall-eyed stare orating to me how global terrorist Lindsay Graham was actually a deeply honorable man. Ditto Amy Klobuchar penning a pages long manifesto documenting her complicated but sweet friendship with Warhawk porky pig.
I’m using these cases as a litmus test for how honest these people are. Because they’re either lying to us about their respect for their evil colleague or they’re genuinely compassionate towards someone who deeply harmed millions of people in his lifetime. And neither is acceptable.
I live in a part of the northeast run rampant with ticks that carry Lyme and other nasty pathogens. We hear a lot about the bullseye rash (of course, I know this feature only manifests in a certain percentage of infections and its absence does NOT indicate you’re in the clear).
I was wondering, though, if the rash always shows up at the site of the bite? Or could you, for example, get bitten on the ankle and have the rash emerge elsewhere on the body?
Has anyone made a decision about which school to attend based partly on their responsiveness and organization during the admissions process?
I have one school that is very quick to respond, has lots of info sessions, and emails updates thoroughly.
Then I have another school with an admissions counselor that only sporadically responds to concerns I have, sends form emails that aren’t especially relevant to my case that are confusing.
On paper they are fairly similar in terms of what they offer as a degree program, but I can NOT get the latter to respond consistently to time sensitive questions.
Am I dumb to just pick the first school on the assumption that their program will be as uninterested and disorganized as their admissions office? Or am I wiser to assume they are functionally separate, and not judge the faculty and program based on their front-facing admissions staff?
Hi, so sorry if this is a silly question, but I was hoping to gain some clarity on semantics in the field. I’m writing my essays now for SLP masters programs.
I assume that when you work in school settings, you refer to the people you work with as “students.” And in a medical setting as “patients.” If we are unclear of what population or setting we want to work with (and are planning to use the clinical field placements to help ascertain that), what is the right umbrella term to use? Is it “clients” or is that too business-sounding?
Thanks all
Basically in the question. Am I walking into a bad situation here wanting to transition to SLP and have a career that has life/health balance?
EDIT: I appreciate all your honestly. I’m definitely sad and surprised to hear that SLP sounds so incompatible with my health and not too sure what to do now. I felt like it was something I was frequently told was a good job for career/life balance and job satisfaction but now I’ve read deeper into this forum and realized it sound exactly the opposite! It sounds like there’s a miscommunication between actual SLPs who all hate their jobs and are sick because of it and what job satisfaction data is saying. 😔
Relationships are transactional (at least under this capitalist chokehold).
There have been a lot of diverse reads of this season (some with great insight and some lacking a bit of media literacy imo) but I thought I’d toss my interpretation into the mix.
I think the unifying message of S2 across all core couple dynamics is that when we are trapped in an all-encompassing system driven by the accumulation of and grasping at capital, marriage is essentially a business negotiation. Relationships get turned into exchanges driven by value, opportunity, stability, and utility rather than emotional intimacy.
Maybe this is obvious to most of you here, but I’m consistently shocked by conservatives who lack media literacy on here. Every so often I see some misogynist take about how Ashley is a crazy bitch who should have secured healthcare “the right way.” Completely missing the point of how her lack of adequate medical treatment or envy of Eunice’s socioeconomic position strained her relationship with Austin, or how Lindsay’s loss of generational wealth caused her to hate her husband. Or how gendered expectations from Austin and Josh to provide money in increasingly illegal ways strained their relationships.
Beef S2 is very clearly a critique of unfettered capitalism and an economics driven by competition rather than cooperation. I think the message is that these people all have the capacity to love each other in small moments but this looming threat of financial instability keeps toppling them.
