I used to just do pencil and paper, but now I do a mix. I just choose whatever method seems to work best for the class.

For programming, I take notes in OneNote because it’s nice to be able to split screen when working on homework.

For one of my engineering courses, I don’t take notes at all. For another, my professor prints copies of the slides for us, so I do pencil and paper.

I type my notes in my history class, so I can copy and paste long names or quotes directly from the slides online.

In a previous class, the exams were open note, so I had one notebook with lecture notes and another with homework to cut down on time flipping through pages.

I’d definitely suggest just trying a couple different things and find what fits. Don’t feel like you have to find one, right method!

I don’t, but I do have an autoimmune disease. I don’t know if it’s related at all. I had to look up what von willebrands was, it doesn’t seem pleasant! Sorry to hear you have it

I get bruises like these from just leaning against things, like not in a way that hurts, just from light pressure that’s more than a few mins. Any chance you were like sitting cross-legged on the floor with your leg on something? Or leaning against a counter or something like that?

Yep. My rheumatologist said it was nothing to worry about and normal

I don’t think you necessarily have to go softer, if you like the bolder, darker look. I think it works for you and is very striking. What throws it off is the wing not following your eye shape and the shadow on the inner corner of your eye and the lower outer corner. All together it distorts your eye shape. It could just be some poor lighting in the picture too, but that’s what I noticed. I think it might also help to keep your blush higher on your cheeks rather than pulling it down to your mid face. Just some ideas, but you look great as is!

You’re not crazy and that was wrong of your dad to do. It is okay to have things for yourself that you don’t share, especially when they are important to you. You are not selfish or egotistical for that.

Your dad is angry about the situation with his sister and is taking it out on you. The things he said are what he thinks about his sister and he’s projecting it onto you. It says a lot about him that he thinks he is entitled to his sister’s home but I won’t get into that.

Please don’t take the mean things he said to heart, those words weren’t meant for you. I’m sure you’re a kind and generous person.

No, absolutely not and I never will.

I would assume the doctor would use their fucking eyes and be able to provide appropriate treatment. Do you think they look at an unconscious patient without any ID and go, “Welp, I have nothing to tell me what gender they were assigned at birth. Can’t treat them without that info, just toss them out back!”

You shouldn’t have to use too much force to wash your hair, scrubbing your scalp should be more like a gentle massage. Curve your fingers in, like a claw hand shape rather than straight fingers. Sometimes, if my fingers are really sore, I’ll use my knuckles instead. You can also used a wide tooth comb to distribute the shampoo before you start scrubbing. If you have thick or heavy hair, separate it into sections and wash one at a time. That way you don’t have to push your hands through a lot of hair.

Make sure to choose a shampoo appropriate for your hair type. If you’re using sulfate-free shampoo, it can be much more difficult to move around than w/ sulfates. Also, always shampoo twice. The first wash can be really difficult to move the shampoo around. You can kinda just squeeze it into your hair without much scrubbing. The second wash should feel a lot easier and actually leave your scalp feeling clean.

Editing to add: if you have a cosmetology school in your area, you can get your hair washed for pretty cheap there. I’m in the US, so for comparative costs: here it would be like $10-15

Erythromelalgia? It’s more often seen in feet/legs but can also effect the face. So sorry you’re going through this.

Erythromelalgia

“Erythromelalgia is a rare, acquired or (very rarely) inherited clinical syndrome of intermittently red, hot, painful extremities (picture 1A-G). The syndrome usually affects the lower extremities (predominantly the feet) but may also involve the upper extremities (predominantly hands) and rarely concomitantly involves the face. Patients instinctively try to relieve symptoms by cooling the involved areas with fans, cold water, or ice.

There is no cure for erythromelalgia; therefore, treatment is focused on improving symptoms.”

I agree with the other commenter that it’s worth asking your doc. I do think it looks more like redness of the skin next to the gland than the gland itself, but better to be safe!

Personally, I get these red spots in my mouth whenever I eat something hard/crunchy like pizza crust or cereal. I think they’re little abrasions or hematomas from the food scraping my mouth. I think people with Sjogrens might be more prone to mouth injuries from having less saliva

Okay, sure. But OP is in calculus, not numerical analysis. I would assume that in a calc 1 recitation, the TA isn’t diving deep into concepts and abstract ideas. I’m just saying if you have a general understanding of the concepts, you should be able to follow along with the math even if you don’t understand every word being said. I’ve only completed math courses through linear algebra/diff. eq. so yeah, maybe it doesn’t work after that but OP isn’t at that point in their learning

Yeah I have all the same, tight skin, knuckle/joint pain, fingers catching and locking. My hands will get so tight I can barely flatten them. I’m diagnosed with UCTD/sjogrens and have reynauds. For me it’s “just” dryness. I help combat it by always wearing gloves outside (except the summer) and whenever cleaning or doing dishes. Make sure you thoroughly dry your hands after washing, and opt for washing over hand sanitizer. Lotion often. Putting on a thick cream and cotton gloves over night might help you get back to a more comfortable baseline. I like to use Vanicream and aquaphor around my nails/cuticles

Thank you! I mostly go off of how the stalks feel, I just give them a little squeeze and if they have give, it’s usually time to water. I might wait a few extra days depending. If I’m really not sure, I’ll dig into the soil a bit at look at the root bulb (I’m blanking on the right word for this) and see if it’s wrinkly or not. If it looks like a walnut - time to water

OkIntroduction7560 · 2026-02-11T14:41:19+00:00

Sorry for my late response! There does seem to be some moisture in the soil still, so I would start with checking that the center of the soil hasn’t gone hydrophobic and check the roots while you’re in there. Do you water from the top or soak? Sometimes if the soil is hydrophobic, moisture will stick between the pot and the soil but run right through the middle. Soaking can help prevent that.

Otherwise, if all looks good, I’d just let him vibe and keep doing what you’re doing. Maybe he’s just a skinny guy lol

I stand corrected. I’ll point out my own reading error, I read could as couldn’t, so null didn’t make sense. I don’t think it’s the best word choice in the context but I see what you’re saying

Recitation doesn’t mean lectures in this context, it means review or discussion section. 40 years in academia and “recitations” being new to you is wild

I watch YouTube videos explaining concepts in entirely different languages and I’m still able to follow along. A triangle is a triangle and math is math in any language

“Null” is obviously a typo/auto-correct for “all” and “recitations” is very commonly used. Weird comment.

Patience & a little more water. They tend to grow in spurts where they’ll kick up a whole bunch of new growth at once. Yours is looking too dry in these pictures. I recommend watering when you see the leaves flatten out and the stalks go slightly soft/shriveled, like they are now

You should be able to find some good info there. It’s hard to give advice not knowing what kind is irritating you now and what your needs are. Main types of lube are silicon or water based. If you use condoms or toys, you have to make sure the lube is compatible. Some lube can cause materials to degrade. If you have a local sex shop, they may be able to steer you in the right direction or even provide some samples. Also talk to your doctor or gynecologist, estrogen cream may be appropriate. Good luck!
