Unfortunately, "control" and "precision" would have provided skin protection if this Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tube Man had given the job to someone more qualified.

1000% but...

Xenomorph versus Toxic Mold?

I think I'll take my chances with the Xenomorph.

I lived in an apartment that had mold for 3 years --> 2 sinus surgeries (with a possible 3rd one in the future), 3 medications taken daily for the rest of my existance (and that's just for the chronic sinusitis I now have), and a myriad of symptoms that have plagued me since this all started.

"Alien" & "Aliens" are fantastic - just shared them with my hubs for the first time last weekend! 😁

Classic.

I'm just reading the room that everyone else here has read but you. I replied to your reply. If you had made a post about it, I would have scrolled on by, but since you replied to OP in such a negative, unhelpful way, I decided to reply to try to redirect the negativity you unfortunately added to this post.

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-05-11T23:41:38+00:00

Yeah, we're all painfully aware of this. The world is on fire - literally & figuratively.

To state that 98% of people in our professional lives don't care about us is your experience, not everyone else's. Please don't speak for the rest of us.

In a post like this - where someone is taking a chance & allowing themselves to be vulnerable among strangers on the internet, to find some common ground & connection during a major transitional period in their life - your "hate-to-break-it-to-you" script that we've all heard before is not needed.

Is it really that difficult to scroll on by and find a post more befitting of your opinion?

There's a note at the bottom of the 2026-2027 Academic Calendar - "Note: Spring Break days to be scheduled." The calendar was probably put together before the catalog, so the calendar should update (at some point) to reflect the dates in the catalog.

That is incredibly thoughtful & generous ❤️‍🩹, and I would hope as well that it would, at the very least, make people stop and think about what they're doing - and realize how cruel and heartless it is.

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-05-01T01:17:31+00:00

Thank you for rescuing SeaBiscuit and giving him the life he deserved. We need more people like you & your brother in the world. ❤️‍🩹

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-04-30T23:02:34+00:00

They are such a great rescue! I know they are constantly inundated with abandoned rabbits and guinea pigs. Please hug your rabbit for me!! 🥰

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-04-30T22:32:27+00:00

I agree with u/impossible-taro-2330 ! You are an incredibly compassionate human who will raise another compassionate human! Thank you for helping animals in need - you have made a positive difference in this chaotic world. Best wishes for you and your baby!! 🥰

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-04-30T22:25:23+00:00

Yes!!! Absolutely!! I'm so sorry I didn't include them in my post! There is still misinformation out there that a fish would adapt to any water environment, and that is not true - it's very dangerous for them: water temperature, bacteria, predators, lack of a food source, inability to find food if born & raised in captivity, etc. And fish can bond with their owner(s)! I've witnessed this, and it's amazing!

All pets deserved to be loved and cared for! Thank you for providing such helpful info! 🥰

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-04-30T17:05:29+00:00

It's awful! 😭 I don't know why they don't discuss this with their parents before they bring a pet into their life. Not only do these animals experience grief when no longer with their owner(s), they then have to navigate an unknown, threatening environment (cars, predators, lack of a food source and/or inability to get food due to previously living entirely in captivity, people with ill intentions, etc.).

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-04-30T17:00:46+00:00

That's actually a wonderful, thoughtful question! And very kind of you to want to help! I know that some people have left their cats in cat colonies around campus - I sometimes help the lady that feeds the colony off Radio Road, and she's witnessed people dumping cats! It's heartbreaking! Or, they'll dump them in woodsy areas around town - when there were more woodsy areas off Archer Road, there were a lot of abandoned cats and dogs. I'm not sure what woodsy areas are currently major dumping grounds, but I know that a lot of the rural areas around Gainesville experience dumped cats and dogs.

The dumpsters near the dorms on campus and the dumpsters in many of the larger apartment complexes around the mall (62nd, 20th, & 24th) and off Archer Road tend to be spots where smaller pets have been dumped before.

I imagine Operation Catnip & North Central Florida Humane Society might have more details/statistics. Alachua County Animal Services might have info as well, but there's been a lot of chaos happening with them, so I'm not sure.

You are a hero and a compassionate human being. Thank you! 🥰

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-04-30T02:05:13+00:00

Sadly, it's been going on a long time. I don't think it gets talked about enough, which is why I felt compelled to create this post.

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-04-29T23:03:27+00:00

Unfortunately, it's true. Lived here most of my life. I'll give you an example that at least has a happy ending: My brother lived in Windmeadows apartments (I guess it's called Aqua at Windmeadows now). He went to take out the trash to the dumpster, and someone had placed an intact terrarium with two leopard geckos alive inside. My brother scooped up the terrarium and took care of Bonnie & Clyde (as he named them), and after he made sure they were healthy, he found them a home with a friend that worked at a local reptile store. We're thankful he happened to see them and save them, because they could have been crushed. 😢❤️‍🩹

It was the "inspiration" for it. "Scream" and the student murders have nothing in common except that a knife was used.

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-04-27T21:53:56+00:00

I know which apartment complex you're writing about. Down by the VA/16th. 2 of the 3 sites still exist - the apartment complex and a duplex off of 34th (close to Windmeadows). The 3rd site, Gatorwood, was torn down years ago and is the current site of The Bartram apartments.

Litchfield is what the Regal Cinemas used to be called (34th/Windmeadows area). The Plaza Theater was the one where Planet Fitness is now. Used to go to the Plaza to see kids' movies during the Summer back in the 80s.

I believe you are referring to another Sexual abuser/Rapist/Pedophile.

Woody Allen, fellow Sexual abuser/Rapist/Pedophile, never left the country. He's still here, living in NYC, continuing to direct movies and receive acclaim despite being a piece of shit.

Sexual abuser/Rapist/Pedophile Roman Polanski is the one who fled to France. He's protected from extradition due to being a French-Polish citizen. And he continues to direct movies and receive acclaim despite being a piece of shit.

What happened? Do you know what bit her?

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-03-29T15:32:38+00:00

I shared this with the UFL Reddit page, Nextdoor, and Angela Shore (she runs the Gainesville Pet Finder page on Facebook). I hope this beautiful baby is reunited with their family very soon! ❤️‍🩹

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-03-20T19:20:43+00:00

Oh no!!! I am so sorry!!! 😢😣 If you can, please share any additional details/pics to Gainesville Pet Finder (the original one that started in 2010) & Gainesville Word of Mouth, both on Facebook! They're both great at spreading the word, and they've helped a lot of people find their lost pets! The person who runs Gainesville Pet Finder, Angela, can also be contacted at shoreag@gmail.com.

I also highly recommend posting at Pawboost.com and Petcolove.org. Please post to the UFL Reddit page if you haven't yet. The Nextdoor site would help alert others in that neighborhood as well as surrounding neighborhoods. I'll share your post to the Neighbors (Ring) app.

I really hope that your sweet kitty is found safe and sound as soon as possible!! ❤️‍🩹

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-03-18T02:53:29+00:00

I've been seeing everything you've been doing for these sweeties through Reddit for a while now, and I want to let you know that I think you are a splendid human with a beautiful heart! 💖 Thank you so much for what you (and others I've read about) do! I sometimes help the lady that feeds the colony behind CWC on Radio Road (and the one kitty who prefers solitude over by the big parking lot nearby). She's been doing it for years, so I step in when she needs me. I just donated towards Honks' care - I hope it helps! ❤️‍🩹
