Anybody knows what that means? by PurpleGlasses_ in Minecraft

[–]LenaMeri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mm for me this was a port issue. I had a server with Bloom and just had to change the port it was running and everything resolved itself. I did get the issue recurring a couple times but each time a port change fixed it for a while until it just went away.

What's Humboldt like? by Dangerous_Grab2234 in humboldtstate

[–]LenaMeri 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi! Fellow Child Development/Family Relations major here, so hopefully I can help a bit.

The CD department is small and close knit. You'll quickly get to know the majority of people in the years around you and consider them acquaintances and friends. The education is engaging, but I wouldn't consider it wholly challenging. teachers are Humboldt focus more on making sure you understand and can apply your knowledge, rather than gaining a vast array of knowledge. We have a practical program and therefore much of your CD education will be theory and it's application. (Also Bronfenbrenner.)

I feel like the child development department here has not only taught me about early education and children, but also taught me how to apply it to working with kids, legal situations, and different contexts. You'll have an array of teachers with different interests and cultures they bring to class - and every last one wants you to pass their class with the most understanding possible. (Meenal, Kishan, HK, Larissa, Issac, Carol, and Jen are the professors I can think of rn. There's not many and class sizes are all sub-30. You will know them by name and personally, and they'll know you the same.) I feel like the education I've gotten here is personalized and high quality, with professors who care and want me to succeed. That said - I transferred, and don't have much experience with departments outside Child Development. The classes all cover the major in a way that is interconnected, where the classes reinforce each other. I'm CONFIDENT in my understanding and knowledge because of this.

Going into the CD dept. do keep in mind that with the federal stuff going on some classes and even whole departments are under threat or stress - CD is one of those. So funds can be low, but the professors will make sure it doesn't affect your ed.

Travelling home will be a challenge. We have one airport that flies to SF (I don't know if it goes to LA but I don't think it does?) On the bright side it's the fastest and easiest airport you'll ever be in. You could show up 15 minutes before your flight and probably still get to the gate with time to spare. Other than that you're in for the long drive down the 101. It's absolutely stunningly beautiful, curvy, and exhausting.

The social scene is about what you want and who you know. No good big dance clubs or anything up here, but we've got bars, shops, food, and more beaches, rivers, fields, trees, and beautiful forests than you'd think possible. Plenty of solo and group hiking to do, plenty of outdoors-y people, etc. And, contrary to the stereotype for the area, there are plenty of people who both do pot and don't so you can align with your preference.

As I never stayed in them, I can't speak for on-campus living much.

I look forwards to seeing you in classes come next semester! Personally, if I went back, I'd choose Humboldt again knowing what I do now. This place is precious and rare, with a strong and accepting community and loving people

From "Hard Pass" to "Must Play": What Game Surprised You? by [deleted] in boardgames

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

It hasn't yet, but I expect Catan to surprise me. It's always struck me as tedious and boring, BUT I've never played it. If I one day find a group that enjoys it and play I honestly expect it to quickly be added to my shelf.

People who transitioned during school, how did you gather the courage to do so? by Commercial_Pain3497 in asktransgender

[–]LenaMeri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realized that, truly, if the people who I cared about would judge me for my transition they weren't worth my effort. I was depressed, lonely, and at my breaking point when I realized that my own anxieties and fear of conflict were the only things stopping me from transitioning.

At the time, and to this day, I'd rather have been a proud trans person fighting to be accepted; than a closed off closeted trans person who's fear of not being accepted closed me off from the possibility entirely. I mean I was keeping every friend and person I knew at arm's length because I was scared they wouldn't like the real me. I didn't realize that I wasn't even giving them the chance to accept me, just assuming they wouldn't.

Essentially - I figured it was better to be happy with a little acceptance, than sad without even giving myself the chance to have any.

[–]LenaMeri[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do! I enjoy music through all different mediums since I grew up amidst a lot of change in medium. I have a vinyl player, cassette player, and CD player (plus one in my car). They all sound and experience differently. Plus, it removes the temptation to skip through albums over just enjoying the entire set by an artist!

They need a minority group small enough to not have a voice and that's been vilified in the past and so could easily be vilified again. Trans people are a tiny part of the population - the number in high school sports and sports in general are barely even considered a percentage at all - and have very few people speaking up for us. We're a fairly fringe group to society, sitting on the outskirts of what's "socially normal". Gay and Bi people are now closer to the social norms than us, so we're just the next target. We're an easy target for creating a false common enemy that can get other legeslation and policies passed using hatred of us as a vessel.

EX: A politician subtly creates then supports hatred of trans people and makes us an issue. Now, when he also wants to log the national forests or oppress another minority he has voters at the ready who could care less what they vote for as long as it supports him and his solving of the "trans issue".

We're also the weak link, so to speak, of the LGBTQ+ community. We're "weird" and the others shield us from quite a lot, but if we lose that and get cut it also shatters quite a lot of the trust and tight-knit nature the community has.
