getting out of group work due to disabilities..? ( serious post)
The title of this post makes it sound like I'm trolling but I'm not I swear.
I got approved for disability accommodations and receive disability-related funding through OSAP. I don't want to go into the specifics of my disability because I'd prefer to keep that private, but I'm wondering whether it's worth speaking with Accessibility Services about one of my courses.
The first half of the course included one group project, a The second half, however, is structured very differently. The class is literally just group work followed by a presentation every day.
The difficulty comes from having to process information and collaborate with others in real time. I process information more slowly, and the pace of frequent group discussions and presentations can make it hard for me to participate effectively.
I'm wondering if this is something that would be appropriate to discuss with Accessibility Services. I'm not necessarily expecting to be excused from all group work, but I'd like to know whether there are any accommodations or alternative supports that could help me participate more successfully in this course.
Has anyone here dated using reddit relationship subs?
I'm just curious i always see the r4r stuff. Has anyone here had success with it or do you prefer the apps?
Which events should I go to for Pride Sat June 27th?
I went to PRIDE last year and just went on the march, got some henna done, and got myself some food. Overall it was nice. I went to a BiBi Baby as well ( not for pride), it was okay overall but wasn't really my vibe so I didn't go to the Bi party they had for Pride.
I'm trying to decide what events I would like to go to for Saturday. If anyone here has been to any of these events before or has other recommendations please let me know. I will probably stay until midnight happy pride 💕

BW main character romance books similar to off campus?
I didn't know how to properly title this lool my bad. 😭
Looking for romance books with Black woman main character, can be a single book or a series with a friend group. Would like for the book to be set in high school or college and have something to do with sports. I saw another post on here giving recommendations to books similar to off campus ( thank you!) But I am too lazy at the moment to check through all of them. Lesbian romances welcome as well. Books can be black love or interracial
Looking for recommendations for Black romance books, think off campus vibes..?
Well I'm sure you guys have noticed that there's been a big boom of book to tv adaptations. Kind of annoying how I haven't seen many black romance books be adapted. Does anyone have any recommendations for Black romance books you have seen on booktok or just else where? Could be a series or stand alone. Lgbt books are fine to recommend as well. Thank ya
Somali Muslims always expect Somali ex muslims to have this one sided loyalty in front of ajanbis.. have you guys noticed this?
I understand staying on code with certain topics there are certain things I dont want to discuss with ajnabis even if I feel like its a problem because I think they move weirdly . But, I have noticed as the racism against Somalis increases some Somalis are finally starting to acknowledge that you cannot be actively hostile towards a group of people but then also expect those ppl to cover your dirty laundry.
​
It's like Somali Muslims( and Muslims in general tbh) do this thing where they always want to try and control the narrative about how people are suppose to talk about their experiences. When they know behind closed doors these ppl are dehumanized.
​
It's unfortunate these convos can attract racist ppl, but the convo has to go on regardless. Also, this idea that anytime you talk about your negative experiences with religion you automatically want a hijabi to get attacked is so annoying. It kinda reminds me of when there was that Somali girl Jamad..? ( I forget her name but she is a hijabi and she plays basketball runs basketball camps and make tiktok videos). Anyways, she did an ad for Samsung and a bunch of ex muslims and Christians were in the comments asking why Samsung was supporting this knowing women in Iran were forced to wear the hijab. Like the world does not revolve around you omg 😭

05/09/1998 - self sabotage and repeating cycles..?
I did date/month/ year.
Idk. This was not a good month for me tbh the days just blurred away. I get caught in this waking up late bed rotting cycle/ doom scrolling. I think part of it is trauma, victim mentality, and self sabotage.i could be greater then I am tbh. I do have valid trauma my childhood was not set up for me to be successful but I know a lot of my problems that I currently have are on me. Any thoughts on how my numerology plays a role in this or what it reveals?
Oshawa museum admission
For anyone who has ever been to the Oshawa Museum I know you pay in person like $5, do they assign you to a tour group? And if yes do you just have to wait until enough ppl come or how does it work?
I handwash my clothes do to not having access to a laundry machine. I dont have that many clothes anyways, takes about 2 hours total I watch a TV show, do some other cleaning and dont mind it. The problem I have is with the drying. If I dont take the time to really really wring out the clothing then it will have a weird smell or just take forever to dry. I do hand wringing as well as just wrapping it up in a towel but its so hit or miss.
For anyone here who hand washes there clothes is there any type of manual hand crank wringer that you use? I see some advertised on Amazon but it doesnt have many reviews. The other thing I am scared of is that it will stretch out my clothing.
When ever I see successful social media pages on tiktok they tend to tell a story. There's humor involved but also education. I find that a lot of museum social media accounts do not get a lot of engagement on tiktok, however they tend to do all right on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram where it is less video and more a single photo or post.
What should a social media manager post on a museums socials especially on tiktok? And how do you think museums balance showing strictly educational content, vs showing their staff and allowing them to do voice overs and be apart of the content? For example do you think it would be appropriate to have a series where someone explains different art pieces? Fun skits? Etc.
I'm not sure if this makes sense but I will try to explain. I feel like good social media brands tell a story but I think one of the issues with museums ( or even educational places or historical places in general) is you are trying to balance telling the story of the museum vs the attention on the social media manager specifically ( or whoever posts the content).
For example how you would post on Instagram tends to be a picture. But on tiktok, still images tend not to do as well especially if you dont already have an engaged audience. When you think of plastic surgeons on tiktok who hire social media managers yes they advertise their services and make serious videos but there's also jokes and characters ( the diff ppl who work there).
For anyone here who creates or has done content for museums or educational spaces I am curious how you go about content creation.
It sounds crazy but at this point I am honestly debating if I should. I am lucky because OSAP does cover my rent and groceries, but I am not sure if this second semester they will since now they recalculated and said I had an overpayment. I have not been able to find a job, and have so much anxiety about my finances. No one where I live is hiring, and whenever I see a job posting its in a smaller town further away.
I am only looking to work 1-2 days a week. So I can have a small emergency fund in case. Ofc i see an ad for part time minimum wage Timhortons and its one of these small towns and the ad says " looking for ppl who live 20 km away". I'm debating if I should just lie.
Its about 3-4 hours away by bus. $25. Maybe in winter I would quit when the weather gets bad. But at least from May- October I would havs chance. But 4 hours back and forth is objectively crazy. Idk. Every job wants open availability and I can't, and even when I do get call backs from jobs in my area that is my biggest issue. They all want more days.
Just looking for diff opinions/ perspectives.
I had really bad teeth and had to go and get fillings on both sides of my mouth. My right side is fine no problem. My left side the teeth in the back are honestly killing me. I dont know if a nerve was exposed or something but I would say maybe once every like 50 bites either top or bottom it hurts. Its like a sharp sensitive pain and I'm starting to just chew on my right side because I am scared. The pain lasts for maybe 2 minutes then fades away.
The fillings took about 2 hours on each side, and I actually have one more appointment. I got these fillings done about a week ago. First it was just the bottom tooth that had this sensitive feeling and now its the top as well.
How long should sensitivity from fillings last?
Wasn't sure if the title would let me say vagina my account is on thin ice loool.
I've had an itch down there on and off for like 6 months. My doctor tested me for yeast infection, UTI, and everything came back negative. I'm also a virgin as well and no man has gone down on me or anything so I know this isn't sexual.
My doctor gave me a boric acid to try and see if it makes a difference. I was too scared to put it in, so I went online and bought a canesteen BV treatment and gel, and you have to insert the gel into your vagina as well.
Does anyone have any advice about what the best way to put something in your vagina is? I'm not sure if I should just stand up and lie on my back. I'm also not someone who explores my own sexuality like that so I just dont interact with my own body like that which is giving me anxiety. But at the same time its so itchy down there and I know something is wrong. A cream alone isn't going to solve my issue I know something needs to go up there 😭
I just finished doing the final for the course, honestly was harder then I thought it was going to be lol/ its random questions generated and the ones generated were not my strong suit. I would say my mark in this course could be anywhere between a 55%-67%. Because there are still projects that are being graded. The course is also offered through PLAR. I am debating if I want to retake it to help improve my GPA. This course also had 2 group projects and I know PLAR won't have that.
