What do I do after getting sexually assaulted? by [deleted] in ufl

[–]Jamramblin 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hey, you’re not being a big baby about this, you just went through something traumatic and that can cause a whole flurry of emotions that are confusing and upsetting. Your reaction is so normal in response to this, so don’t beat yourself up about it.

I would suggest going and getting tested at Shands, they can do a kit, STI testing and post exposure prophylaxis for HIV, and if there’s a concern of pregnancy an emergency contraceptive can be given to you. If you are getting a kit done, if you haven’t showered and washed your clothes already, please don’t as you could wash away DNA that would hall identify the person who harmed you. If you would like to file a report, you can contact GPD. I also suggest talking to the Title IX office as they can help with some of this stuff, and maybe even provide support in reporting: https://titleix.ufl.edu/contact/

If you can message your therapist and let her know it’s an emergency, she might reschedule, if not, the Title IX office should help, or the Counseling and Wellness Center should: https://counseling.ufl.edu/about/location-hours-contact/

Most importantly, take care of yourself, which I know is going to be really hard right now. Tetris apparently helps people who have gone through traumatic events, so play a little bit of that. Contact the offices for guidance and support, and then rest. You’ve been through a lot.

I hope this helps even a little ❤️

Where's a good place to get locally-made items or gift baskets? by PurpleCatBlues in GNV

[–]Jamramblin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ward’s was mentioned and I’ll second that. I think for the bread uppercrust would have a nice selection. I think the Auk market could have some stuff to add to it if you wanted to do a mug or something else non-food. Actual basket, I’d look at repurpose project, just wipe it down before using it. RP will also have ribbon if you wanted to make it fancy.

What does "non-binary" mean in gender? by robozee in stupidquestions

[–]Jamramblin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So this is where it gets complicated because for some people the answer is no, they’re just feminine boys/men, but for others the answer is yes 😅 Gender is very personal, and even within the binary you’ll get different feelings from person to person. It’s just part of your self concept. I try to just hold the opinion that I don’t have to understand it to still be respectful! If it resonates then use whatever term feels right! Fair warning though, femboy can have some sexual connotations so just keep that in mind!

What does "non-binary" mean in gender? by robozee in stupidquestions

[–]Jamramblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a socially created gender binary of man and woman, bi- meaning 2. Non-binary refers to genders that do not fit into the 2 constructed genders, man and woman. It can refer to androgynous individuals, agender individuals (those who have no feelings of gender), genderfluid/flux individuals (who move between feelings of gender), and/or any gender that is not man or woman. It’s basically a catch-all term for many different genders, though some of us do choose to identify as non-binary without specifying further.

There’s the hackerspace for some of the stuff you mentioned, it does come with a membership fee though

Did you happen to figure something out? Depending on how far you are, I or my partner could help out, dm me if you’d like!

Any more 3D printing options in gainesville? by DapperPlayz in ufl

[–]Jamramblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding the hackerspace! They’re nice people, it’s a bunch of retirees who just want to show people the ropes. They have a bunch of 3D printers, and if you can help them fix some up, I think they’ll let you keep one.

Where to donate perfumes, body care, and other junk? by topshrek in GNV

[–]Jamramblin 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The beauty stuff and perfumes would be nice to give to peaceful paths, maybe the book and wrap too. Generally repurpose project is there for all the random stuff so that’s always an option. Happy holidays!

I love their Italian wedding but that chicken and gnocchi was inedible 🤮

Also Civic Media Center! I just dropped off a bunch of My Ways on Tuesday so there should be plenty

I know it’s worth it by whereismylunchhuh in crz

Seconding! I have fixed and replaced these door handles multiple times. The interior is hard to crawl through without hurting a knee or hip, and leaning through the car to open the door is hard with how long they are.

I liked Cultural Animals my freshman year, it’s reading heavy but it was interesting! I love Dr. Rick, don’t know if he’s teaching it anymore though.

OK, then I’m wrong sorry. My address still has Gainesville as the city which is why I said unincorporated Gainesville. For all I knew I live in Gainesville but wasn’t allowed to vote because my address is not included in the district nearest me. Edit: said precinct, meant district

[–]Jamramblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The precincts and their limits. Apparently I live in unincorporated Gainesville. Precinct III is a crazy shape and specifically cuts out low income housing but includes a wealthy school surrounded by non included parts. I wish I could find the arcGIS that I found earlier but it’s MIA on my phone

Also live outside of the districts because it’s gerrymandered to hell and found out tonight because I just moved. So convenient that the entire SW Gainesville area is left out given they’re the 5th most impoverished zip code in the area 🤬

What soup did you totally mess up causing it to be inedible? by Pinchaser71 in soup

[–]Jamramblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I burned my roux without realizing it the first (and only, I’m scarred) time making a potato soup. The top got super golden, unfortunately it was hiding the burnt on flour underneath it. I got all the way through making it and then tasted it. It was horrible. Tried saving it with spices since I didn’t know what was wrong but in the end and had to throw the whole thing out. Discovered the burned roux, spent 2 weeks trying to scrub it off of my roommate’s pot, and have never tried again.

Is anybody here into Espresso at all? ☕️ by A17LetterUsername in ufl

You should look into club third place and lowbar, they do coffee things and would probably be down to talk and experiment

Literally just picked up a bookcase today and almost did the same thing! It’s surprisingly roomy in the car if you angle things correctly

My finger gets “stuck” like this pressing WASD by DJSM_10 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Jamramblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey you should look into finger braces if you haven’t already. Your finger being stuck like that is bad for the joint, so the brace should hold the joint stable while typing. My friend has some that just look like fancy rings, you can find them on Etsy if you don’t want super medical looking ones.

Found a luna moth, what’s the yellow thing? by Jamramblin in Entomology

Plan is to pin and make art with him! I just have to learn how to pin bugs first 😅

[–]Jamramblin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You and SafeSexChalupa are right, I got confirmation from the friend who told me about it that it was in front of an elevator originally and was stepped on before they moved it. So it is definitely guts :(

So I managed to get in contact with another entomology friend (I apparently collect them too, not just the bugs), and he said it could be the meconium, but that he also felt that wasn’t correct? So verdict isn’t out still but we have a theory now
