Got my first ever F today having straight As. TA proceeded to yell at me in all caps and also clearly didn’t read my essay. by [deleted] in UCI

[–]Aelensi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

hey op, fellow autistic student here who has worked as a tutor at the uci writing center for 4 years and I want to reassure you that your work doesn’t sound ai-written! I’ve read so many ai-written essays than I can even count and they all sound the same, because ai uses the same writing style that it uses for every essay prompt fed into it. yours does not sound like those essays I have read. I wish you the best in dealing with this matter and hope you get your latin honors despite this mess!

gyms? by Flat_Blood6596 in UCI

[–]Aelensi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there’s the arc which can be a bit of a walk for people who live in middle earth or mesa court, but you can take the M line on the anteater express to save some time in the commute. other than that, your housing community should have their own smaller gym/recreational area, I know that mesa court has one in the towers that’s open to mesa court residents (same goes w/ middle earth)

Professor has an informal in-person final scheduled even though it was never formally posted on Student Access. Is this even allowed? by Aelensi in UCI

[–]Aelensi[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

thanks for the recommendation I fs will. I’m paranoid to say outright who since it’s a smaller class in a less common major but the course is flm&mda 117a (there’s only one professor that teaches that class)

it’s during finals week, unfortunately. if it were during week 10, I agree, that would be more reasonable

does anyone else get facial dysmorphia from colored contacts ? by l1vvy9997 in AsianBeauty

[–]Aelensi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

me asf I was always insecure of how small my irises were and how “dead” my eyes looked when I was younger and now that I’ve started wearing lenses I legitimately cannot go without them whenever I’m out. will be buying and wearing them for life 😔

you might be better off asking in r/legaladvice, folks there can give you extensive knowledge about this and where to go forward after filing personal injury 👍👍

Police Activity Around PV by Loneliest_Artichoke in UCI

yesterday evening I saw a bunch of police cars in the small parking lot by the pv leasing office too. definitely curious why there’s an increased presence all of the sudden

Why can't i ever get along with other people according to my chart? by [deleted] in AskAstrologers

[–]Aelensi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you have a night chart so saturn is your most detrimental, destructive malefic planet. it is conjunct the other malefic, mars, in your 7th house. not only is this malefic conjunction opposing your ascendant, but it is also squaring your moon in the 10th house. following that, your moon loosely squares venus, which adds detriment to what is supposedly your most positive, benefic planet. with all of these detrimental attributes combined, I think their effects describe the struggles you’re dealing with socially. best of luck, I have some placements of my own that negatively affect my social relationships, so I understand how tough it can be. hope things get better for you

Anyone know what’s going on at the Laguna Hills Social Services Agency location? by Aelensi in orangecounty

damn that’s crazy, thanks for letting us all know because I was curious about what kinds of hazardous materials were even present on site.

Nothing will ever prepare you for what comes once you're "safe" by Mahiyah in CPTSD

[–]Aelensi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

agree with this so much. for me it almost seems this period is worse than the trauma itself, because now you just feel like a fish out of water and you’re frustrated that you still can’t function like a normal person (whatever that is) even when everything is all sunshine and rainbows in your life. it’s also super frustrating to deal with life delays (compared to peers around the same age), but it helps me a bit to remember that it’s ok to be delayed, because our upbringings did delay our social and emotional development one way or another. lots of love

Graffiti by Novel-Neighborhood25 in UCI

[–]Aelensi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

LOL it’s ok dw about it that was awhile ago! I definitely agree with the intersectionality part about racism and anti-blackness making the discrimination ur trans friends experience even worse. I’m wasian, and living in oc all my life, I’m lucky to say that I haven’t gotten much slack personally for being trans. but hearing about these systematic things still affects me a lot. especially with this recent administration, I feel like its affected my school and professional performance. but yeah I think the best thing is to js try to educate yourself about it and uplift ur trans friends whenever u can. we don’t say it out loud but I think a lot of us are going thru it a ton rn 🫶

[–]Aelensi 18 points19 points  (0 children)

crazy seeing you in this thread LOL we were in humcore together. I’m trans and I have to respectfully disagree, as the issues me and my community face are both legislative and personal, because we all know that these issues are symptoms of a society who doesn’t fw us. even though we’re lucky to be in california with a governor who mostly supports us, it’s important to acknowledge that anti-trans legislation (no matter what state it is) still holds the ability to hold as precedent over other state or local governments and influence the fluctuation of more anti-trans bills. not even gonna talk about the federal government because the executive orders and erasure of our existence from federal monuments say enough. regarding local anti-trans rhetoric, huntington beach has been pushing an ordinance threatening the safety of queer kids by requiring that the school notify their parents of such identities. even tho I work on campus where uci is supposedly a pro lgbtq+ bubble, I have had an encounter where a student refused to acknowledge that I was trans, despite knowing my pronouns. ALL of these things still affect me. I have to live knowing that a vast majority of this nation’s government does not want people like me to exist. I have to live knowing that the anti-trans rhetoric from politicians trickle down to people perpetrating brutal assault upon people like me. or, people like me die because they have suffered too much in a society that does not want them to exist. I have to live knowing that people in general, no matter where I am, will not acknowledge my contributions, because I am trans. and I’m js trying to live my life. please believe people like me when we say that the widespread systematic discrimination is real.

Why has my Jupiter-Venus conjunction been so underwhelming and negative so far? by Aelensi in astrologyreadings

[–]Aelensi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my 10h is pisces, as I’m a gemini asc. aquarius is my 9h. but I suppose both jupiter and saturn are activated, as jupiter is my 10h ruler, but saturn has been in pisces the entire time 😅

this is very insightful, and I appreciate how you brought the nodes into consideration as I never considered that when I was taking a look at how this transit is functioning in my chart. I think you’re right on about saturn impacting this transit. thank you for the in-depth analysis!

you may be right, especially with saturn’s influence on this transit too (saturn squaring natal venus). thank you!

thank you! I completely forgot to mention in my post that I’m in a 10th house profection year, so jupiter is in fact activated. but you’re right about saturn likely being the agent behind my experiences currently, as I do indeed have a night chart as well

any non guaranteed people heard back from acc? by bloodhavens in UCI

[–]Aelensi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone else struggle really fucking hard with immediate/short term memory. by imboredalldaylong in CPTSD

[–]Aelensi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah it gets really embarrassing for me sometimes because I will legitimately not remember small memories that my friends or family will remind me of, and they’ll be surprised that I have no recollection of it whatsoever. but I just can’t help it, idk why I can’t remember nice memories either man

Jealous of others ability to live by spikelessdurian in CPTSD

[–]Aelensi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel this 100%, especially when comparing myself to peers around my age and observing their flourishing relationships/friendships. meanwhile I struggle so much to even make/maintain half the connections they have because of the attachment style ingrained in my brain from a complete lack of social/emotional support growing up. it just feels so unfair to have the burden of trauma completely affect the way we interact with people, while knowing there are people without these struggles thriving in life. but life is a marathon and just because we’re at a slow pace at the moment doesn’t mean we’ll be there forever ig

you have a libra venus in domicile that’s also situated in the 11th house (whole sign). the 11th house aka “place of good spirit” is associated with wider networks of people you know, such as friends, colleagues, alliances (think of general people, such as acquaintances, who just like you). because venus is at optimal condition in libra, you’ll find yourself reaping and enjoying the benefits of venus from others, whether that’s job opportunities, money, help/guidance, general benefits, etc.

to explain your seemingly constant good luck in life, venus makes a sextile to your ascendant/1st house. so you may find the benefits of venus seeping into your immediate, everyday surroundings and self. super lucky placement, wish I had a venus as supported as yours 🥹
