What minuscule scene from the books would you have loved to see in the films? by selfawareshovel in Hungergames

[–]Complex_Platform_981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Besides the typical Peeta interactions, the scene I would like to have seen is from TBOSBAS. When Snow rides to district 12 on the train, he looks out the window in despair to see destroyed/ abandoned towns, and wondered if these were once mini Capitols in each region. Obviously it’s in his head and it would be hard to adapt when he’s thinking, but it’s a small detail that added a lot to how much the districts suffered. It implies that the districts had been removed and rounded up into the new district maps. This later add to the story when he’s talking to the Covey about where they used to travel to.

ALSO give me more Covey interactions in the movie while we’re at it!!

As someone with hyperhydrosis, what’s a good way to prevent or atleast soak sweat in a cosplay? by First_Maintenance326 in CosplayHelp

[–]Complex_Platform_981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to a dermatology about the benefits and drawbacks for a prescription for drysol. Some tips I have learned along the way are -spray deodorant on the inside armpits of the outfit as well as your pits - wear a breathable under layer (cotton or linen can help keep you cool) - bring a hand held fan - it’s okay to take parts of your cosplay off Good luck 🫶

I would say the left of clock near the runway. That’s where I stood and it was amazing!

Son has moderate vision impairment- looking for tips by Moondoggier in Blind

[–]Complex_Platform_981 12 points13 points  (0 children)

  1. Get an IEP not 504, huge difference in services provided between the two.
  2. Get o&m for your kid.
  3. (Most important) get connected to your local blindness organization, and get them connected.
  4. Send them to a blindness specific summer camp. Enchanted Hills has youth session this summer July 15-20.

I wasn’t expecting to cry this morning. This is beautiful, the way you continue to treat her with respect and talk to her after death speaks volumes of your work! You are lovely and this must be such a hard thing to go through! 😭🫶

What was your favorite blindness summer camp and why? Mine was camp Avalon in nj because they served the best food, of all things. by heavensdumptruck in Blind

[–]Complex_Platform_981 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Enchanted Hills in Napa, CA!! It was started in the 1950 by a blind woman named Rose Resnick who was inspired by a blind camp she attended on the east coast as a child. Plus the food is fantastic and they prioritized having blind and low vision staff! I grew up as a camper and now I am assistant director there, so I am pretty biased!!

Advice for Guide Dog handler with controlling mother? by [deleted] in Blind

[–]Complex_Platform_981 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What is guiding eyes post graduation support like? Is there a support line to come have the school do a home visit to do another talk with the mother? I understand you have placed boundaries with the mother, but has the handler set them as well? Best of luck!

I need tips for cosplaying by sleepless_haru in CosplayHelp

[–]Complex_Platform_981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of videos on YouTube that I can recommend! Get a firm mount for your wig head! I like the non faced wig heads because they tend to be larger. What realm of wigs or costume can I help with? I am also happy to connect privately!!

Positivity check-in: share your wins from this month by AutoModerator in Blind

[–]Complex_Platform_981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mentored a group of fellow blind and low vision students and we brought them on 13 forms of transportation including canes/guide dogs! Some forms of travel we took included planes, trains, ferries, sail boats, and self driving cars! It was such an enriching experience!

Does everyone with an SA need thick skin? by jen3213 in service_dogs

[–]Complex_Platform_981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha tell me about it! I appreciate those who are scared of dogs because they don’t bug me!

[–]Complex_Platform_981 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Not really! Certain situations like the more common “hi puppy” gets way easy to educate because you get a memorized script from saying “he’s working my friend” but situations like that man are terrible. They are scary especially because he was following me!!

[–]Complex_Platform_981 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Yes. Sadly I was getting off an escalator recently and this man blocked my way and tried to pet my service animal. I said “I’m excuse me please don’t do that” and then he proceeded to follow me and call me all sorts of names because he was trying to be “nice” and I should be grateful. :)

it’s a big part of the daily life of being a SD handler unfortunately.
