I think what annoys me and a lot of us on here the most about people’s reaction to this storyline is how quickly Lisa has been villainised by fans.

How their villainization of the only current Lesbian character on the street has quickly led to subtle if not outright homophobia.

Also, aside from the fact that she has literally never done anything wrong in her life ever, You just know the reaction would be different if this was a heterosexual couple.

So bird time in the basement for the foreseeable future unless she’s completely out of the house because apparently clear communication was not enough for her to Not Open Her Cat Door During Bird Time

Thankfully my ass trains my birds so I was able to just restrain and leave. The cat did not get out of the room and I had full control over /my/ animals. but that damn door should NOT have ever been opened. Consistent schedule. Clearly communicated. Same time every day. Alexa goes off loudly to notify start and end times. I TEXT every single day for start and end.

There’s simply no excuse for that carelessness this time.

Today my cat was tearing up our furniture and I started to yell at him and my housemate said "Maybe he needs some play time." So I played with him for nearly an hour and now he's cuddling with me. It was good to be reminded that I can solve problems with kindness.

I FEEL SO BAD FOR MARIA MASON. Imagine your situationship coming to bail you out of debtor’s prison. Oh my god.

If Spider has a million fans, I am one. If Spider has one fan, I am that fan. If Spider has no fans, I am dead.

extremely cool to see so many humanities + social sciences folks with a side of STEM, shoko would be so proud of us. as an anthro premed + mph first gen girlie, i strongly encourage those anons to keep on going!! it’s pain and hell but i was overall happier with this track and holding those diplomas felt SO GOOD

and honestly as someone who has helped their friends w med school apps+ interviews, those who were humanities and social science majors were just as successful (if not more lolol) than the stem majors. sure adcoms might like the ‘well-roundedness’ element but tbh i also think it’s not just because it’s ‘oh so unique’ but you could tell they were pursuing/studying something they genuinely were interested in. we like to think of medicine as purely empirical or objective but it’s such a wonderful blend of arts and science. one of my good friends was a performing arts/drama major and is finishing her last year of med school; she swears that her degree has helped her with patient communication and getting to know them more! it doesn’t get more humanistic than that imho

tldr we need more medical doctors with a background/vested interest in the humanities and social science. as cliche as it sounds do what you love and that’ll shine through. gl to that anon studying for the MCAT, you got this! and i’d be happy to help and connect anyone w MCAT resources and med school app stuff (which I’ll be going through in a few months pain. it’s def a journey)

sorry for the rant but was just so nice to see all your anons doing great things (and gl to you with grad school apps!)

NESSA YES!!!! i forgot you were ALSO premed anthro!!!!!! love my premed anthro friends <3333 so so proud of you <3333 i agree it might be a little harder but a lot of my friends do not regret pursuing their passion in undergrad and being in the premed track at the same time. i hope you're also doing well and taking care of yourself!!!!!
