Hi there! Not quite a beginner but was unsure what other flair to use.

I’m interested in the Sibyls Oraculum: The Black Doves of Africa deck by Tayannah Lee McQuillar.

Has anyone here used it? If so, what were your thoughts?

Hey y’all! I did a spread to see if I’d been cursed (because my life currently is def giving crossed conditions…) and this is what I ended up with.

I used the Hoodoo Tarot deck, but I put the equivalent of their suits and arcana in parentheses. The spread I used is “Don’t Put That Thang On Me: Catch A Trick” spread from Tayannah Lee McQuillar’s Hoodoo Tarot book, and I also added a photo of it.

I am feeling so under the weather today in general (infection), and my head is so foggy I’m reaching out for other perspectives.

1. Have I been jinxed/hexed cursed:
Six of Baskets (Six of Cups), clarified by Black Herman (The Magician)
I read this as maybe someone from my past, or something from my past has come back/made itself manifest in my life. I don’t know if that’s generational trauma/curses (could be), or just a figure in my past tied to me that is responsible.

2. The source of the rootworker’s anger towards me:
Daughter of Baskets (Knight of Cups), clarified by Daughter of Coins (Knight of Pentacles)
I took this as, if I have been hexed, it may be a figure envious of the seeming ease of my life, that despite hardships I always bounce back or get on to something better. I specifically feel it may be a maternal figure.

3. The message to me from the ancestors about this situation:
Ace of Baskets (Ace of Cups), clarified by Aunt Caroline (Wheel of Fortune)
I think the ancestors want me to know that I’ll have grace or a sense of peace about this situation? Aunt Caroline (Wheel of Fortune) showing up says to me that whatever is going on, it’s supposed to. I can’t figure much more than that.
On a side note, in my recent RWS readings I’ve often encountered the Wheel of Fortune.

4. The remedy:
Ace of Knives (Ace of Swords), clarified by Six of Sticks (Six of Wands)
I take this as needing to confront something in the mental or spiritual realm, or a breakthrough in understanding coming. I get the idea this is asking me to act, whether that’s an internal or external thing I’m not quite sure. But with the clarification of Six of Sticks, I see it as overcoming this situation?

5. The final outcome:
Seven of Knives (Seven of Swords), clarified by Ace of Coins
I see this as the outcome as maybe a message to roll with the punches, or using an unorthodox plan to disarm this person/get over this hill? With the clarifier Ace of Coins (Ace of Pentacles), I see it as after having done that, there may be potential for a new and more stable (whether emotionally, spiritually, financially, etc.) life.

However, I’m too close to this. I would love others’ insight. Please help

Hey yall bought this printer used (student budget) and it came without the usb b cord that connects to the modem/router

I purchased a usb b to Ethernet cord from Amazon, but its design prevents it from plugging in correctly to the printer

The HP instructions on the site don’t help— been trying to hard reset (cancel and wifi button) and it’s not working

For anyone who encountered this, how did you get it set up for a new home’s WiFi?

Ratemyprofessor didn't prepare me for this professor's style. So many emails from my classmates about how there's so much to study in this class, but no clear focus or goal. We all feel overwhelmed. I'm in Jennifer Odom's A&P I class, and I wouldn't recommend this class to anyone.

Main Points:

• weekly tests that are the biggest part of your grade
• huge amount of shit to study that most likely won't be on the aforementioned weekly tests
• no idea of what you're going to be tested on. often footnotes of the textbook will end up a testing value
• lecture "materials" that are screenshots of the textbook and lecture videos that cover huge swaths of information (created by the professor or a youtuber), whereas the test is looking for super specific "what ifs?" that are not addressed in the textbook, homework, labs, etc.

We are told by our professor to start study groups, utilize the ttoring resources available, but if we don't know what we're expected to know or even have a hint...... it's moot. We will just be studying the same huge amount of information with no clear directive, and we can do that on our own.

I will most likely be retaking this class in the Fall with a different professor if I can get in. But I'm asking here and elsewhere on who to take to actually learn this material. I look at this class as an intro to A&P I because I can't imagine taking this class and feeling prepared for A&P II.

For reference, I study 4.5 hours a day. I read the textbook like a book. I'm consulting all available materials. I make notes, have note cards, and even extra anatomy books. Still get a 50% average on every test so far. It truly feels as if I'm studying for nothing.

It’s not the Jacksons sample, it’s something else.

I recognize it but I can’t remember the name

Please yall help😭

Edit: thank you to u/Loud_Philosopher_185 and u/Unique_Accountant_67!! They figured it out.

The song is Follow Me - Aly-Us, but I think it’s been re-tracked so the audio would mesh well with BMS’ mixing

Anyone taking her class this summer, or has taken her class before?

I love anatomy/med sciences, however I'm struggling to understand her quizzes. It's not clear what part of the material we engage with in the textbook, her lectures, and powerpoints will show up on the quiz.

I spent days studying anatomy terminology, ions, covalent bonds, and was making my way through all the study material.

However, the first test was mostly on cells, water and other molecules, hydrogen bonds, etc. Not much anatomy terminology.

The quizzes are also not open note, count for most of our grade, but we can have a piece of blank scratch paper (not sure what this is supposed to be for...?) and that's it.

For the past two months, I've been getting emails from CRI and Ascendium education about my grace period about to be over. Thing is, I'm not graduating for another 2 years.

1. I went to virtual advising and they pointed me to financial aid.
2. Fin aid office pointed me to enrollment services.
3. Enrollment services then pointed me back to financial aid.
4. Financial aid office is still refusing to help lmao and pointing me back to enrollment services.

I'm an active student who is planning on graduating 2028.
For anyone who went through something similar, how did you fix it?

The linked song is “Free Your Mind” by newer artists Cloonee and Prospa. However, the sample in it “Free your mind,” “my love is what you’ll find,” and a lyric using the word “fantasy” I’ve all heard in another House song from either the 90s or 00s.

Can anybody help ID?

I used Rider-Waite-Smith, I pulled 4 cards, 3 with 1 clarifier for the others and got:

1. the Hanged Man: maybe a new perspective/outlook is necessary for this new adventure. Let go of my expectations of what it could be.

2. 9 of Swords: I’ve been hurt a lot in the past with this specific kind of friendship. I’ve changed a lot since then, and overthinking and anxiety isn’t a reality for me anymore. This card in particular I’m stuck on. Maybe it’s pointing to me putting too much expectation on things ?

3. the Tower: maybe the premise of what I thought friendship is for will be overturned?

Clarifier: 7 of Swords: I think this points to a need for me to be shrewd and deliberate in how I seek out and cultivate these friendships. Be highly observant so the old patterns I had don’t repeat/don’t fall into the old way of things. But also on its face, it reads like someone getting the better of me?

For reference, I’m a woman, and I’m in a place in my life now where I feel ready to put myself back out there on the friendship “market”. I have nothing but high hopes still, but I found this reading kinda weird. I’ve always wanted strong bonds with other women, as the only friends in my life currently are men. I’m a total girl’s girl and miss this type of friendship dearly.

It is my favorite show I’ve seen this year. It is so witty, funny, and reminds me of all my favorite gay elders in the community.

But are there any other shows like it? Doesn’t have to be focused around same sex couples. Just looking for a show that’s really funny!

This was just 2 years ago. Can’t quite recall when I’d heard of Simulation Theory, but I think I’d heard of it in passing by that time. I didn’t “believe” in it, or prescribe to it, it was just a new concept or theory to hear about

At this time I was quite spiritually-based (but not really doing anything in it besides praying), but not closed in my beliefs. In fact, I didn’t gel with most of the spiritual folks I knew. But anyway, I was given mushies as a birthday gift from a shaman, and I went deep.

Saw a lot of different things, and the trip itself felt like an actual journey; like I was reaching different “levels.” Well, at one point I think I went too far. It was my first time doing them, and I didn’t know what to expect.

I was in this hospital room that had a team of people “operating” on me. They were dressed in light blue and white scrubs. They were talking also as if I wasn’t there, and behind me was a stack of servers with blinking green lights, and various cords flowing out of them.

They stated that I “needed to go through this” (referring to certain events in life) and I got a general sense of orchestration happening. It was bizarre because I was watching myself. They weren’t malicious or evil. In fact, they seemed like they were just doing their job, with a lot of care and focus.

But it was an extremely scary feeling, and I got away from that scene and just went back to exploring, so to speak. I wouldn’t even consider that the “main event” of what my trip was, but it has stuck with me since.

Has this happened to anybody else?
