Dear Flora: COVID Job Scams
Dear_Flora
Dear Flora,I was laid off from my last job due to COVID-19. Ever since, I've been looking for work, but it's been really hard to get an interview for anything. I've been sending resumes and applications for months, and so far have had three interviews in as many months. One didn't even answer, and the other was an almost immediate rejection. But the third was interesting, and I'm weirded out ... ...more

Dear Flora: Black Lives Matter and LGBT+ Teens
Dear_Flora
Dear Flora,I am a white woman living in the U.S. I have been following the Black Lives Matter protest, and I want to support the cause. However, my job is very public, and my work contract forbids me from engaging in the protests, or even writing online about controversial issues. But I know that staying silent doesn't help anyone, and I think it's important to help by using my platform to ... ...more

Dear Flora: Secret Baby and Unwelcome Dog
Dear_Flora
Dear Flora,I'm planning to move in with my boyfriend soon, and he doesn't want me to take my dog. He keeps saying that my dog, who is admittedly really big, will be too much of an expense for us, and that we won't have the room in our apartment. She's also pretty old, and has never lived away from my parents' house, and likes the company of my younger dog, who is a breed the apartment doesn't ... ...more

Dear Flora: Politics and PhDs
Dear_Flora
Dear Flora,I'm almost 30, and recently I've been butting heads with my dad a lot over politics. It's election year, so he likes to go off about his conservative politics that I don't agree with, but if I offer sources and explain myself and my views, he just dismisses my politics and calls me a stupid liberal. I don't want to fight with my dad, but I'm tired of having to hear him out when he ... ...more

Dear Flora: Leftovers and PTA
Dear_Flora
Dear Flora, My boyfriend is great until it comes to food. The man will not eat leftovers, but also does not cook, so it is takeout or me cooking every night. He makes faces like a toddler when I try and do leftovers for dinner, and lately I just give up reheat something for myself and leave him to order take out for himself. This wouldn’t be a huge issue, but take out is expensive. I want to ... ...more

Dear Flora: Boys' Weekend and Nosy Neighbors
Dear_Flora
Dear Flora, Ever since we left college, my old roommates and I have been returning to our old stomping grounds once a year. It has gone from beer-fueled ragers to renting a nice Airbnb to reconnect with each other, play video games, and just have a great boy’s' weekend. This tradition has gone off every year without a hitch for the past almost decade, until this year. I booked the air BnB ... ...more

Dear Flora: Insulting Boyfriend and Dog Behavior
Dear_Flora
Dear Flora, Recently while we were sitting around the house, my boyfriend mentioned that if he had first met me where he works as a bartender, he would never have approached me because I’m mousey and nerdy. Initially I brushed off the comment, but lately it has been bothering me more and more. How do I deal with the fact that he basically called me ugly and said he isn’t attracted to me? Am I ... ...more

Dear Flora: Wedding Woes
Dear_Flora
Dear Flora, I’m getting married in a few months. The whole wedding is planned, and it has been smooth sailing, except for one small detail: who will walk me down the aisle. I don’t have a relationship with my parents: I moved out at 15 due to a toxic home situation and haven’t spoken to them since. While I don’t speak to my bio dad, I do have a wonderful man who took me in when I left my ... ...more
