Fri, 1 Jul 2016 17:59:35 +0000 http://the-toast.net/2016/07/01/go-on-get-out-of-here/#IDComment1025115958 http://the-toast.net/2016/07/01/an-open-thread-and-sea-room/#IDComment1025110119 This site taught me how to be an adult, a person, and how to be my own feminist hero. Because I carry this place in my heart, I have found the strength to allow others to sit with the discomfort they caused and to treat myself as kindly as I do others. I quit grad school, I am going back to grad school, I went to the dentist, I learned how to use bobby pins bumpy-side down, and I was a librarian for a while. I cannot believe we've had the last three years -- what a gift.

I've been reflecting lately on the professional confidence I've learned from The Toast and how all of this has so completely changed my life for the better. This message is all of that and wow. Thank you.

Edit: Also wondering how much librarianing across the world totally halted at the same time. Mine was!

I'm glad to have known this site for the last three years.

I'll be doing the JD-PhD there so I'm imagining there will be times when I'll want to go between campuses. Thanks for your advice! I'm really intending to love it!

I'll be in Evanston a lot but am super pumped to be close to the lake. (I'm from Michigan, I like lakes, especially that one.)

But I'm moving to Chicago this fall for grad school and will probably be living in Rogers Park. So, Chicago toasties: what are your northern-most neighborhood thoughts (especially coffee) and, more importantly, how do I join you?
