Community post looking for “volunteer teachers” is making me feel crazy.

Maybe I’m overreacting… I know there are many reasons traditional school settings don’t work for students. But this post in my local community FB page really rubbed me the wrong way. Would you ever respond to this?
Like you’re looking for a collective of teachers that specialize in each school subject, provide educational resources, and correct assignments? Ma’am you are describing public schools.

Queen bed + wall indents

I am blessed with huge windows (7’ essentially floor to ceiling), but I have no idea how to fit my furniture in this space, since there are windows, doors, and indents on every wall.
The grey boxes are wall-indents.
Photo 1 with desk behind bed is current.
Photo 2 with desk beside the closet door / against the window is my idea. I’m concerned about staring at my desk all the time though. Any advice welcome!!

Do I persevere or shear it off?

On one hand, I miss having long hair because it gets curly. When it’s shorter than I have now it gets straight and pouffy. But this is… bad. I have job interviews coming up and want to look professional. Is there a way to tame this so I can keep growing out, or do I bite the bullet and go short again?
I’ve had a buzz cut, I’ve had hair past my waist… so I’m pretty open to whatever. If age matters I’m 28, and I want to look masculine, but I’m in no way a macho type of guy.

My rent payments aren’t going through and my landlord isn’t responding. Will this negatively impact me?

I tried to pay rent through Letus and the payment did not go through; it reads FAILED (I have enough money in my account). So far I have:
-tried to pay through my bank account and with a visa debit card, August 1st
-emailed landlord August 7th (when I was alerted about the issue, through Letus)
-contacted Letus support, with no success.
-tried again August 14th + sent my landlord a second email.

My landlord is now out of office until at least the 17th. I have never been late on a payment, this is a new lease and I don’t want it to impact my credit score or reputation as a tenant. And obviously I don’t want any financial repercussions like late fees.

Is there anything else I can do to keep myself protected? Located in Quebec.

Hemnes daybed - can I remove the headboard?

Hi all,
Our hemnes daybed broke (was incorrectly disassembled) so the headboard top-left doesn’t connect. We don’t really love the headboard anyway… can you just remove it in a way so the bed will still support weight? Any tips are appreciated.

Sunscreen for exéma prone skin?

Hi all,
I am looking for sunscreen/ spf moisturizer suggestions. I have very fair skin & freckles, facial hair (nothing white/pasty please) and a new patch of exema around my noses that seems to get aggravated in the sun. I have dry/mixed skin type and burn very easily.
I’m currently using Hawaiian tropic hydration serum and I think it’s making me break out.
Any suggestions for a replacement?? I have looked online but honestly I’m very overwhelmed. There are so many choices and they all seem the same to me.

Drivers: PLEASE check for cyclists. It could save a life.

I am a very cautious cyclist who is still shaken up from my 15 min commute to work.
First, at a red light, someone swung their door open hitting directly into me. Shortly after, a second car changed lanes to get around someone turning left and I had to slam on my brakes. If I hadn’t in time, I would have been crushed as they were going full speed. Mind you, I was in the bike lane both times.
I understand some cyclists are irresponsible. That is its own discussion. However, I genuinely beg you to also check for the “bad cyclists” since what would be mildly inconvenient for you could be life threatening to them.
The close calls I typically experience are people opening their doors without checking, or changing lanes without signalling or checking blind spots. It’s an easy thing to forget, but think of us when you are driving this spring.

I will be taking on a new lease this August, and have payed the first month rent through Letus. This month (May) I had a full month's rent taken from my account. Since I was not expecting this it bounced, and I am now being charged $15 for insufficient funds.

I do not understand why this happened in the first place, since again, my lease doesn't start until August. This was the message from Letus customer support:

Upon reviewing the account, I can confirm that the $15 charge is an NSF (Non-Sufficient Funds) fee that was applied because the payment of $2,300.00 initiated on May 01, 2026 was returned due to insufficient funds in the account.
As per Section 5.9 of the Letus Terms and Conditions, which were agreed to during account registration, an NSF fee is charged whenever a payment is returned unpaid due to insufficient funds. While I truly understand your concern, this fee is non-refundable as it helps cover the banking and processing costs associated with returned transactions.

Does anyone have experience with Letus and/or NSF charges? I am unfamiliar with the company but this seems very scammy. I know it isn't a lot of money, but I'm pissed that I need to pay anything and want to contest the $15 if I can. I also really don't want the same thing to happen for the next three months.
