Oh I love that this sub exists now.
We NEED a snark sub for this woman.
High-support, compressive, push-up sports bra with structure?
I love Lulu but as a busty girl everything is so loose and flexible. There’s no actual support to the sports bras I’ve tried, and the straps are very long, non-adjustable, and stretch over time. Does anyone have any recommendations? Or should I look somewhere that’s not Lulu? Any advice appreciated!
Please please tell me your cozy study spots on campus, you can DM me if you don’t want to give them away.
I will not bring a ton of people there because I have no friends and study alone. The brutalist monstrosity that is Killam makes me wanna kill myself & it has no windows. I want a cozy little study spot where I can see snow falling in the winter.
Most interesting narrative/literary/story techniques used in ASOIAF in your opinion?
I like the characters’ unreliable memories (Sansa with the Hound, Daenerys with the lemon trees in Braavos- still confused about that one). I also LOVE George’s use of dramatic irony. But my favourite overall is definitely free indirect discourse as it’s done with Cersei in AFFC. Masterful.
Best orthodontists in Toronto?
Looking to find a new ortho for jaw surgery! Would appreciate any recommendations.
How bad are non-sugar acidic diet drinks for your teeth?
I’ve gotten addicted to those fruit cocktail (cranberry cherry to be specific) 5-calorie diet drinks with 1 gram of sugar per cup, but I’m worried about the impact on my teeth lol.
Does anyone actually go to THAT Walmart anymore?
Moving back soon… I’m staying well away. I hate the idea of being there, and it was a creepy/weird place from the beginning. I remember reading anecdotes of women being followed around there.
Edit: the Walmart where the death of Gursimran Kaur occurred in an industrial oven.
Has anyone ever lived on the third floor of Glengary? If so, would you happen to have pictures?
This is a total long shot, obviously, just figured it couldn’t hurt to ask. Trying to figure out what my room will look like!
Softest hair gels?
I love Infra Wig by Lush because of how soft it is, but it’s Lush and it’s expensive. Any other recommendations are appreciated!
Routine:
Agua Fresca Drybar shampoo/V05 strawberries and cream shampoo
Blue Skala conditioner
Leave some Skala in, scrunch. Apply glossing serum.
What did your braces cost in Halifax?
And who were they with (if you don’t mind sharing)? Looking to get braces when moving there!
New places in Halifax that have opened in the past year or so?
Or two years! I moved two years ago and am moving back… would love new places to explore.
What is it about the letter from Hardhome that’s so *unsettling*, writing-wise?
I think it’s a brilliant piece of writing, and just something about the way it’s put together is so ominous to me, in a way I find a lot of horror fiction doesn’t capture. I’d love to know anyone else’s thoughts on this.
What makes the Hardhome letter so unsettling, craft-wise? [spoilers MAIN]
I’d love to hear others’ opinions on this. To me it’s the fact that it’s so terse, and something about the implication of things *gathering* rather than actually attacking.
If you don’t have it on hand:
“At Hardhome, with six ships. Wild seas. Blackbird lost with all hands, two Lyseni ships driven aground on Skane, Talon taking water. Very bad here. Wildlings eating their own dead. Dead things in the woods. Braavosi captains will only take women, children on their ships. Witch women call us slavers. Attempt to take Storm Crow defeated, six crew dead, many wildlings. Eight ravens left. Dead things in the water. Send help by land, seas wracked by storms. From Talon, by hand of Maester Harmune.”
I’m moving soon and trying to decide whether to pursue jaw surgery there, where I’d need another consultation/approval, or stay here where I already got the greenlight. Do you think most orthos/surgeons would recommend surgery in this case?
How long did it take you between getting braces on and the actual surgery?
Especially curious for people getting only LJS (BSSO)- any info is appreciated!! 🤗
What’s the latest anyone’s applied for residence and still gotten in?
I applied around mid-April I think lol, having had plans change rapidly. No idea whether or not I’ll get in.
What books have actually physically scared you? Like raised your heart rate, etc.
I’m a huge fan of George RR Martin as a horror author. Reading about the absolute hopelessness of the situation at the wall and the Hardhome letter actually makes my heart beat faster.
Your guys’ overall thoughts on House of Leaves?
I wasn’t a fan of the prose necessarily, or of the extended sex scene footnotes, but I love the puzzle-box quality of it, and the general experimental quality.
