Suspect your daughter may be downplaying things a bit here...
She got the top result possible. Students who achieve First with honours (sometimes written as 1:1) have to be even better than excellent across their entire degree.
Some years nobody on a particular course will do this well, because it is reserved for the exceptional.
BEES.
But Beehaws would work too.
Beezers?
YES & YES.
So in ordinary moronland, just back from voting on a metre-long ballot comprising 6 Fascists (mercifully unpopular), 3 NazBols (could fool some), 3 Tankies (quite popular) & 11 assorted others.
Now slinging Jagermeïster & have already mistaken some supposed local hotshot from the arts for a locum parish priest. He's ever so slightly regretting having asked why I thought he looked familiar.
Gonna regale us with tales from the front?
STOP MAKING ME LIKE YOU SO MUCH ALREADY!!
Which symphony?
Wildly impressed at the homegrown cures.
Anyhow, assume this week's Witching Hour has struck, as my notifications tell me I missed a reply before it was deleted.
Come rail at us if you need to. Am a reasonably ordinary moron if that helps!!
Something about this feels like the makings of a short story, or collection of them even. Could be a way to divert yourself from rampaging round social media?
If mostly due to hormonal fluctuations, maybe your doctor can tweak them a little to give you a smoother ride?
Beautiful.
Some archaeologist is going to find this one day. Be fun to include a plaque with a message for them (and for anyone who uses it after you).
There's been... stuff.
Otherwise, reasonable inroads on neglected household cleaning & even a tiny bit of admin.
Vis the Xanax/alprazolam, have sometimes found that benzodiazapines taken to manage situations I find threatening (irrationally or otherwise), make my head fight the drug as it gravely fears any diminution in excessive vigilance.
Similar may be true of your collie? Probably a stronger dose will sedate her enough, but could make her more frantic than ever.
Accordingly, consider giving her the alprazolam once the perceived threat has passed. This could let her unwind faster & also to come to associate perceived threats as something to notice, but which she can relax about once they've passed on.
Once upon a time I had the belief that such people were merely lacking information. Maybe that they were a little lacking in empathy, but that their positions were primarily a matter of poor exposure to ideas.
I now that though for some that is true, for the overwhelming majority it is not. They back authoritarian views in full understanding of what that entails for their fellow humans, and they like it.
How able are you to evade political violence should it come to your area? Could you get involved with mutual support/defense groups, or form one? People like your team member get away with a lot within civil society, but come asunder should stuff kick off and norms come under strain.
Meantime, be good to yourself. You're far from alone.
Do you think, maybe, that even if HRT wouldn't touch the deepest stuff, that it would ease some matters and give you a bit more space?
It hurts to hear your friend is abusive toward you. I hope you can find ways to be as supportive toward yourself as you have been toward others - I get that the idea isn't always so comfortable if there's a lot of heavy history, but tending to yourself is the best way to tend to everything around you.
Stunning.
Hope the mystery signed brick will go in along with your own plaque to future humans.
