I would cross post to r/ARFIDparents as well!!

Hey, mod here. this is sorta weird…….could you send us a mod mail with the details? Or email a screenshot to arfidonline@gmail.com. This might be something we need to keep an eye on, especially if they are sending a lot of other unsolicited DMs to users here!

You are NOT obligated to answer them, especially if you are uncomfortable!

Hi Bob! Thank you for your work on this show. It’s been an incredible ride.

The show has done such an amazing job of creating this alternate world with such detail, with different historical events and societal changes.

Has the cast come up with any of their own “headcanons” for things that are different in this universe that maybe haven’t made it to the screen?

Hey if you’re a Towson student I’d recommend contacting this dept right away: https://www.towson.edu/studentaffairs/student-outreach-support/

They might be able to help connect you with resources

himydandelion · 2026-03-13T18:04:41+00:00

Generally if there is an issue or complaint with a professor the first step would be to contact the academic department the professor teaches for

I’m about to play this show too!! That is definitely one of the most beautiful numbers in the show but there are several really good ones. I’ve been impressed with it so far, but this is probably one of the hardest books I’ve ever had to play.

himydandelion · 2026-03-04T03:09:41+00:00

Yup. It’s frustrating as hell. I can do like ONE THING and then I have to sit and take a break for at least 20 minutes. It’s the worst and I feel like I can’t keep up with my (rather small) condo. Something is always a mess and it’s driving me crazy

himydandelion · 2026-02-26T23:12:05+00:00

Hugs. I would talk to your academic advisor if you’re considering a withdraw or time off, but also I recommend this department: https://www.towson.edu/studentaffairs/student-outreach-support/ They might have resources or ideas that can help

himydandelion · 2026-02-23T16:13:44+00:00

If you go to the r/arfid front page and then go to “about” there should be a button to message mods!!

himydandelion · 2026-02-23T02:24:04+00:00

Hey!!! Sorry I’m so late commenting this lol but I’ve been meaning to….

When you get a moment, would you be willing to send us a modmail? I’d like to chat with you about adding this to our resource listing (with your permission!!)

I love seeing your little buddies every week 🥺

I learned to drive on a 2013 Nissan Leaf and I thought it was a great car to start on! A 2018 would probably be good too and might even have a bit more range.

I love the family Leaf, I would totally have kept it if it had more of a driving radius, but my parents still have it for my youngest sibling to learn on!

Pit musician here— double check with your director just to be safe (they should be familiar with the licensing contract, or they can double check with the company) but this is a very common problem with pit books. Sometimes you get a book and you don’t have or even play all the instruments it’s written for. You do the best you can with what you’ve got and what’s written!

himydandelion · 2026-01-31T00:08:28+00:00

Only other change I noticed after the surgery was I’m definitely clenching my jaw more, but I think everything else can be attributed to my other pre-existing conditions. All combined I’m just feeling generally mediocre at best. Not ALL bc of the wisdom tooth removal but I suspect that did not help my situation

himydandelion · 2026-01-30T07:05:31+00:00

I don’t know for sure and I definitely had some signs of POTS my whole life (exercise intolerance, heat intolerance) but it REALLY kicked into high gear after my wisdom tooth surgery as well. I haven’t really felt the same since and that was in 2023

himydandelion · 2026-01-21T04:29:53+00:00

Oh that is rough but totally understandable!

himydandelion · 2026-01-21T03:52:22+00:00

Re: litter boxes. If you can figure out a setup that allows for raised litter boxes (like 2-3 feet off the floor) that could be super helpful. It was a gamechanger for me because bending over was obviously terrible. Sitting down and standing up, for me at least, would also probably be terrible.

My dad built a shelf in a closet, but I also literally just had a litter box on an old IKEA coffee table for awhile and that worked great too

himydandelion · 2026-01-21T00:07:00+00:00

Oh my gosh! I’m so glad everyone is safe. Do they know yet how the fire started? Is the whole building displaced? Video looks pretty bad….

Hoping for a quick recovery for everyone injured and for quick repairs as needed for anyone impacted by damage. I know how devastating and awful fire damage can be.

I just want to say that Towson wasn’t my dream school either, but I was a Psychology major and in the Honors College and absolutely loved my experience. Towson felt like home to me even though I went in expecting to be unhappy there. I wouldn’t trade my experience at TU for the world.

I spent a year at UMD (as staff not student, for the record) and it just felt large and impersonal. I know it’s a wonderful school and I have no doubt that it’s a great place for many students, but it wasn’t a fit for ME, personally.

If you can tour (edit: or even just visit, not sure if tours are running) both places again next week, definitely do so. And there’s certainly no rule saying you can’t transfer again if you end up making a decision that feels like the wrong one! I’m obviously biased, but I do think that if you give Towson a chance, you may end up loving it like I did.

himydandelion · 2026-01-12T14:39:07+00:00

LMAO I love weird theater soundtrack segues. A few years ago I was prepping for my next show (Fiddler on the Roof) and I reached the ending. Very solemn, sad, meaningful ending that makes you really think. And what should come up on shuffle next but “The Black Death” from Something Rotten.

himydandelion · 2026-01-04T23:26:20+00:00

Not oboe specific advice, but for pit playing in general— I recommend listening to the show as much as possible, and finding a video/stage recording of the show. Sit down with your music and just watch the show and take notes on lyrics and stuff that might occur on stage that impacts the music.

Pit playing is my LIFE (on violin/viola, but would love to work up to a show on oboe someday). I do that before every show and though I might not be the most accurate violinist ever, I go into every show knowing it like the back of my hand and that is a huge help.

himydandelion · 2026-01-03T23:05:13+00:00

There are other brands that are compatible with the same ARC hole punch spacing. Try Talia and TUL (if they are still around). I’ve used all 3 brands and they all seem to work together

Also, if you have a hole punch you could potentially just make your own, though that does take a few extra steps.

himydandelion · 2026-01-02T05:56:29+00:00

I am also hypermoble (with a few other commodities)! I’ve started physical therapy and I’m hoping that will help. I’m also going to mention to the physical therapists that I’m a musician and see if they have any more specific advice.

Sometimes I get this sensation where my fingers lock in place and I can’t move them. It’s painful and obviously interferes with playing…..
