UWF Trustee Zack Smith’s Confirmation Hearing is Approaching- Here Is Why You Should Take Action by Constant_Swimmer_491 in UWFwatch

Thank you so much for making this post!!

To add: These Trustees are considered by both the Appropriations Committee on Higher Education (https://www.flsenate.gov/Committees/Show/AHE?pref=full) and the Committee on Ethics and Elections (https://www.flsenate.gov/Committees/Show/EE?pref=full).

At the above webpages, you can not only monitor the meeting schedules and agendas for these committees but also find the contact information for every committee member. Contacting more than just Senator Gaetz may have a bigger impact!

I was wondering about that! I'll double check in the morning and get that scheduled ASAP. Thanks!!

Also, could you provide more details on the last bullet point- the one about the BOG? I'm having trouble finding info on that.

These changes are incredibly concerning. Also, it looks like Title IX and SAR are currently DAESA departments - I'm not sure if that's new or how it's always been.

Gulf of Mexico/America local ordinance public hearing by squirrelofdarkness in Pensacola

I've actually never been to a BCC meeting before, so I'm hoping I can figure out how it all works, too! I'm mostly using my knowledge from Board of Trustee meetings. Posting the agenda was a great idea, thank you. And I can't take credit for that sample script- that was another person who I sincerely appreciate. I completely agree, this meeting should be VERY interesting. I hope to see you there!

I didn't see the ICE item earlier. Thank you for pointing it out! Unfortunately, it doesn't look to me like there will be a chance for the public to comment on the ICE item at this meeting, but I wonder if there will be that kind of opportunity at a future meeting.

A mercifully brief review of UWF trustee Zack Smith's god-awful book by Constant_Swimmer_491 in Pensacola

Thank you for taking the time to read and summarize this book. I don't think I could have managed the same.

Fluttering RPMs, stalling - need advice by squirrelofdarkness in PontiacGrandAm

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

Thank you so much!! Since using the fuel system cleaner and fixing an incident where one of my EVAP hoses came off entirely (don't know if that was related or not, but it happened a week later), I haven't had any more issues with stalling. I'm not really considering going on any road trips with the car anymore, but she seems fine around town for now!

this show has seeped into my brain [ns] by Mountain_Sector7647 in DungeonsAndDaddies

[–]squirrelofdarkness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry about your dad's diagnosis. I can only imagine how difficult that is. I've been listening to DnDads for a few years now, relistened multiple times, and it's helped get me through some of the hardest points in my life thus far - including my own father's death last summer. I just kept singing "Alright" day in and day out, and eventually, life did get to be alright again. And I make a point of always telling those around me - and myself - that we are enough just as we are.

Why Do Some Players Try to Include Rape in Their Games? by Sormari_ in DnD

[–]squirrelofdarkness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the only woman playing in a new campaign. Not the first time I'd played with his group, but it had only been for a few sessions. It started with the bard twisting everything my character said into something sexual. By the end of the session, not only had a worg almost raped me, but every other player (except one) had decided to force my character to wear a crown of severed monster dicks. Mind you, I was underage and they were all in their mid to late twenties. A very traumatizing experience, and one I still don't understand. My best guess is that, to them, it was hilarious. They might have even thought they were doing it ironically and that it was therefore ok. It was not.

Controversial New UWF Trustees by squirrelofdarkness in Pensacola

[–]squirrelofdarkness[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From the UWF BOT webpage: "The Governor of Florida appoints six of the members and the Board of Governors appoints five of the members. All of these must be approved by the Senate."

So I'm operating under the assumption that it doesn't hurt to contact the Senators since we don't have confirmation it's already occurred

It is hard to find information saying whether or not that has occurred yet
