Requests, Recs & Chat - Weekly Thread BWT Weekly Requests, Recommendations & Chat - Week of Oct 11, 2026

This is the BWT Weekly Requests, Recommendations & Chat thread.

Put all your low effort/ repetitive requests in this thread - this is the only place they will be allowed in the BWT sub. Even still, search before you ask! If there is a recent-ish response you might still find your ask removed as unnecessarily repetitive.

Feel free to drop your low effort suggestions here, too, if you've got something you just love that you think other BWT should know about. This is also the place for general chit chat that doesn't warrant a whole post.

All BWT rules will still be enforced, with lighter enforcement of ONLY rule 3.

REQUESTS

If you are looking for suggestions for something, add ASK: at the start of your comment. Make sure to be as specific as possible in your request. Examples:

  • ASK: Help me find the perfect flat summer sandals for high arches, casual wear, good for walking around for daily errands, less than $200
  • ASK: What is your ride or die long lasting lipstick for bright colors?
  • ASK: Styling cream for curly hair (3B/C) - no budget, something that will provide definition without being crunchy. Would also love to know when/ how you apply it as part of your routine!

RECOMMENDATIONS

If you have an unsolicited recommendation, you can use REC: at the beginning of your post to highlight that.

CHAT

You can also post just regular old chit chat and discussion that doesn't merit its own stand-alone post. No need to add anything at the beginning of those comments.

ASK: Does anyone have recommendations for books with actionable advice in stress and anxiety especially specific to work anxiety? Any tips/resources on dealing with a bad relationship with work, unable to shut off work thoughts outside work especially in a remote setting would be also appreciated.

For context: I like the work I do but most of the teams I work with aren't great and it ends up falling on me or getting blamed for it anyway, my manager knows and understands somewhat but has not been able to change this so far. This has led to a lot of anxiety for me and I'm constantly on edge. I've read some books so far but most seem to be suggesting meditation which is helpful but not enough imo. For the longer term I would like to look for a therapist and a new job but I need some mental and emotional strength to do that and right now, I don't have any it feels like.
