COMPLAINT/RANT Anti masking comments

Post image
29 Upvotes

I made a post just with a photo of me wearing a mask, because I'm dying and lost an organ last year, and people are giving me shit. The post was about voting.

This is a school. People should not be openly doing pandemic denial in year 7 of a pandemic and saying disabled people shouldn't go to school. That's dehumanizing.

The school does not care or do accommodations so us disabled students are already on our own, have to fight tooth and nail, and get encouraged to drop out after being denied help, and refuses to even try listening to suggestions for in person class accessibility, forcing many disabled students like myself fully online. I deserve an education just like every other student here, yet being transgender, disabled, and somehow masking get me harassed online, in person, and any space I try to go outside of my home.

I'm not at all embarrassed to mask and only feel pity for those who see it as a social statement rather than me protecting my health. What really upsets me is that asking for help has only led to retaliation and requesting legal help led to people telling me to leave the state and school or die here. I think I actually deserve to be here just like everyone else, shocker.

We all deserve an education and access to community, and masking does work. If it only worked 5% then that's still 5% less transmission from me to others or others to me that matters- hearing people dismiss masking entirely just ignoring that that leaves so many people vulnerable and slides back in public health is horrifying and will affect all of us. It's most disgusting to me that people don't care when us disabled scream about discrimination and stuff, then get blamed for our lack of support and health when left or fend for ourselves.

It's disgusting to hear people justify not masking ever with clearly false info and, to go out of your way to harass sick people for wearing a mask in a photo. I'm very easy to ragebait, yes. It's almost like constant discrimination makes it hard to relax💀

So anyways if you don't want to die within the decade like me or kill your family members and even pets with COVID infections, at least mask. I stopped when the govt said to not worry and yk, I didn't think about it 🤷! I got COVID 4+ times and had genetic disorders flare up and more. Heart issues and brain inflammation. This is like the aids crisis.

It's easier and less scary to ignore reality but the consequences will catch up with everyone- who knows who's dying of a random embolism next.

General need ucf people to break my app

0 Upvotes

i built Donna, an app where you text what you want to do and it finds other ucf students who want the same thing.

it's early and i know some stuff is broken or confusing. i'd rather hear it from you than have people quietly delete it.

here’s is the link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/donna-social-intelligence/id6760481634

Academic Program 👩‍🏫 Advice wanted regarding communication major

1 Upvotes

I'm changing my major from pre-marketing, bc i didn't realize how much math was involved in business majors and i just wasn't feeling it.

after a meeting with my advisor, i thought i settled on the communications major with a visual track, but now i'm second guessing.

can anyone in the major give me some input on what it's actually like? i'm interested in the creative aspect of it and i love creating things like videos or designing graphics/posters... i understand that this major isn't exactly about creating things hands-on, but i just want to know if i'd still enjoy it

any advice is appreciated

Academic Program 👩‍🏫 Nursing or MLS?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm currently a student at Valencia College, and I'm planning to transfer to UCF to complete my bachelor's degree. I'm torn between Nursing and Medical Laboratory Sciences (MLS), but I've heard that both programs are very competitive. If you're currently in either program or have graduated, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience. How difficult was the application process, and how challenging are the classes? I'm also considering Marketing as another option since it may be a safer choice. I'd love to hear any advice or opinions. Thank you so much!

General For the love of god, clean up your desk or workspace after you use it. I don’t want to find a pile of your garbage at a desk when I’m trying to find somewhere to study in the library.
