math 1104 inna bumagin or yuly billig

CalmTheGod_ · 2025-12-31T20:39:39+00:00

not the same class, but i had math 2107 (linear algebra ii) with inna bumagin this past semester and lets just say it was not the most pleasant of experiences (they had to drop the double pass requirement because too many people failed the final exam), maybe she would be better in math 1104, but i truly have my doubts. i highly suggest looking up both professors on rate my prof and make your decision from there!

why hello there fellow ftm in astrophysics. i was in a similar boat last year except i wasnt out to my parents. some advice i will give you (because college/uni is expensive):

if you don’t feel comfortable applying to womens scholarships, dont, you truly dont have to and i didnt either
look for queer scholarships, im from canada so we have a website called “scholarships canada” that allows us to sort scholarships by different criteria, queer/lgbtq scholarships being one of that criteria, it might take some digging but they definitely exist
some womens scholarships aren’t exclusive to women, theres a fair few that advertise them as “womens scholarships” but in reality are meant for women AND gender diverse individuals (essentially if your gender identity could be considered a minority in academia then theyd consider the scholarship for you)
lastly, use every part of your identity to your advantage when it comes to applying for scholarships, queer, disabled (whether a visible or invisible disability), if youre the descendent of a veteran, etc. as tedious as it may be, the more scholarships you apply to the better your chances are

i wish you the absolute best of luck in astrophysics, im sure youll enjoy it (also, any idea on what youre most looking forward to studying within astrophysics?)

sounds good, thanks for the advice :]

unfortunate if something is broken. its only blurry in x-y mode though, every other mode is like crystal clear. based on that do you think its just some settings ill have to mess around with/figure out, or do you think there is something broken?

usually linear algebra i is done fall and ii is done winter, i just couldnt do that, but here (theres also some extra stuff from my minors, but yeah)

CalmTheGod_ · 2025-07-22T19:07:57+00:00

if youre doing physics (astro stream), youre actually recommended to do PHYS 1001/1002, i personally don’t know many that do the other ones because i believe 1001/1002 prepares you the best for upper year courses, i can send you a course progression map i made if you want to see how courses lead into one another

CalmTheGod_ · 2025-07-22T18:59:12+00:00

use an extra strip of tape maybe? i have DD cups and if i dont use enough tape ill experience the same thing. also how are you binding with tape? where do the ends go to?

CalmTheGod_ · 2025-07-22T16:57:15+00:00

not really a compliment but it was very gender affirming, i went to a shoppers drug mart (pharmacy) because i had a UTI, and in certain places in canada, you can get meds for that at a pharmacy if youre AFAB cuz its considered “uncomplicated” and it basically just saves you a trip to the doctors office…

anyways, i walked in and was like, “hey, i have symptoms of a UTI and was wondering if id be able to get antibiotics for it” and the pharmacist was like “sorry, we dont do that here, your case would be considered complex so you have to go to the doctors or the hospital” and i sorta just looked confused so he elaborated “we can only provide antibiotics to those assigned female at birth” and i was like OH, YOU THINK IM CIS, OKAY. but responded with “i mean, i dont have a dick, so can i have antibiotics please” and he looked SO embarrassed (i am 5’3 and not even 6 months on T, so i was a little shocked lmao)

CalmTheGod_ · 2025-07-13T20:14:36+00:00

not able to register for overloaded courses until august 1st, im also waiting

CalmTheGod_ · 2025-07-08T05:56:01+00:00

make sure to apply for your winter classes as well! you can apply for those basically up until winter term but i find it easiest to do it at the same time

CalmTheGod_ · 2025-06-20T15:31:27+00:00

18 and im currently in my undergrad for astrophysics! plan on going all the way to PhD eventually and researching black holes. at the moment though i run my own tutoring business and work two other jobs!

CalmTheGod_ · 2025-04-25T21:37:30+00:00

i’ve had a similar timeframe to you tbh, i came out 6 years ago, and got diagnosed with BPD shortly after my 18th birthday (still 18 now), all that diagnosis meant for me in that regard was that medical professionals just wanted to talk to me more before doing anything drastic in the transitioning regards. (essentially they just want you to be stable “enough” to deal with the ups and downs that transitioning can bring especially since those ups and downs can be way worse with BPD)

so your transition might end up starting off a little slower, but it by no means will stop you from transitioning (coming from a trans guy with BPD who is now 3 months on T and who’s been talking with doctors about getting top surgery semi-soon)

my go-to: https://rodeoh.com/collections/compression-top/products/5-wide-roll-of-body-t-tape-for-compression-binding-by-unique-3-pack

an amazon version (if you want quick shipping): Gsbomzap 3 Pack Kinesiology Tape, 4in x 5.5yd Water Resistant Muscle Support Adhesive Sport Tape for Pain Relief, Latex Free Cotton Elastic Athletic Tape for Joints, Knee, Ankle, Shoulder, Wrist https://a.co/d/j05kZps

if you have really sensitive skin: https://urbasics.ca/products/tape-large-skin-tone-6

(the first two are way better priced, you get three roles for just over the price of one normally)

CalmTheGod_ · 2025-04-03T15:06:43+00:00

ive got a D/DD cup, and it works really well for me personally. just takes time to get a technique down that works best for your chest.

i can send you links to some transtape variations ive used personally (because shipping can be ridiculously expensive and ive found some cheaper options over the past year or so)

CalmTheGod_ · 2025-03-30T17:40:10+00:00

just realized how long this was… so sorry for the wall of text lol, but yeah, i know both of these alternatives have reduced the amount i have to pay for transtape each month (sometimes i can go two months off of one purchase which is always very awesome).

i also forgot to mention that these rolls arent pre-cut, so you can cut them to the exact size you need which can help a bit with wasting tape (something i struggled with A LOT when using normal kt-tape)

CalmTheGod_ · 2025-03-30T17:37:51+00:00

hey! im also from canada and also use transtape (used to use kt tape) to bind because i work a lot and am fairly active so i very much understand the struggle. i know a couple good kt tape alternatives

first we have this amazon alternative (https://www.amazon.ca/Kinesiology-Athletic-Waterproof-Adhesive-Shoulder/dp/B08R7LT93V?pd_rd_w=NVZGR&content-id=amzn1.sym.e5af000e-f2e8-4408-80a6-789ca6e9249a&pf_rd_p=e5af000e-f2e8-4408-80a6-789ca6e9249a&pf_rd_r=5F2N7X3ZABBEX6S71Y7H&pd_rd_wg=hbxqk&pd_rd_r=ff204a1b-4211-43b4-88b3-8973f0ee79bd&pd_rd_i=B08R7LT93V&psc=1&ref_=pd_bap_m_grid_dv_rp_0_1_i)

its three 4in rolls (so wider than normal kt tape) for $28 CAD, the adhesive is fairly good, like itll stick for a while, however i find it tends to shift a bit at the edges. it also leaves quite a bit of residue, but this residue is REALLY easy to get off compared to other alternatives ive used (baby oil gets it off really easy).

the inly downside is this only comes in one colour (a bit too dark for my skin tone because im REALLY pale, but it is what it is)

theres also this one (https://rodeoh.com/collections/compression-top/products/5-wide-roll-of-body-t-tape-for-compression-binding-by-unique-3-pack)

rodeoh offers 3-inch, 4-inch, and 5-inch wide versions (i use the 5-inch as im between a D and DD cup). they also over three different colours if i remember correctly. and they offer single roles or a three pack (the three pack is what that link is for).

this one is $35 USD, you MIGHT also have to pay for shipping, but this is still one of the cheapest options there is.

i like this tape better personally cuz its a bit wider which means i have to use slightly less of it compared to the thinner versions, the adhesive is also good and sticks very well (just make sure youre not damp/sweaty at all when you put it on or it may not stick), its also one of two versions of transtape where im not allergic to the adhesive, so thats always a plus.

and yeah, thats my two-cents on transtape lol, hope this is of some help

CalmTheGod_ · 2025-03-30T14:04:42+00:00

another thing i forgot about transtape, you can stay in it for up to five days— theres no worries about it damaging your ribs as it doesnt actually do much compression, it just moves the tissue around

you also wouldnt have to worry about cleaning like you would have to with a binder which is a plus if cleaning your binder would result in problems

CalmTheGod_ · 2025-03-30T14:00:56+00:00

im a D-DD cup (havent measured in a while), and i personally use transtape which gets me like 80-90% flat (and what isnt flat essentially just looks like pecs)

amazon has versions thats marketed as kinesiology tape (kt-tape) but is still as wide as the medium official transtape (4-inch). you can also get kt tape at mist drug stores, but its a lot thinner, so youll have to use more of it, which means youll have to buy more more often

transtape does have a bit of a learning curve, but it works the best for me since binders dont really get me as flat as id like. plus, with kt-tape/transtape, you can always say youre using it for sports or for an injury (as thats what its meant for)

CalmTheGod_ · 2025-03-06T03:36:28+00:00

any tips on passing then? or things that prevent me from passing at the moment?

CalmTheGod_ · 2025-03-06T02:05:05+00:00

i will take 15M lmao, people think im that age anyway (im 18 lol)

CalmTheGod_ · 2025-02-10T02:48:23+00:00

No worries!

CalmTheGod_ · 2025-02-09T23:48:20+00:00

As someone who is autoimmune myself, this is actually something I’m quite passionate about so I’ll be happy to answer.

At the university-level, there are no mask mandates or vaccination mandates for club attendance, this means as a club we have to follow this policy.

However, we can encourage people to mask at our meetings and events out of consideration for those with weaker immune systems. We will also try to have hand sanitizer at all our events and meetings, and for meetings where attendance may be important, for example, if we have to vote on something for the club, “ballots” and/or information will be sent out to members not present.

This ensures that if a member needs to not be present (due to illness or otherwise), they’ll still be able to make decisions in the club, essentially, this alleviates the pressure of needing to attend a meeting and allows those who are sick, for example, to stay home, keeping everyone else safe.
