    Code Green Campaign Finances

    Hey all, I'm a few days late replying to this. I'm also doing it with my old account since Code Green doesn't have an official account here. As vc85 pointed out, because we're such a small org we only need to file an e-postcard with the IRS. Last year we did exceed the $50,000 due to the...

    "Getting close to" * Teacher

    So here is where I take major issue with a lot of the attitudes expressed in this thread. What makes you think that attracting male attention is the damn goal? A guy is at the gym, or doing manual labor, or it is a hot day out and he takes his shirt off, and the assumption is he is hot and...

    "Getting close to" * Teacher

    I am disinclined to acquiesce to this request. You started a thread with some very sexist overtones and go figure, this turned into a post about sexist attitudes. Considering how women are vastly outnumbered in this field a think a little education is a good thing. No, just, no. As much as I...

    I guess I better dig my burka out of the closet.

    "Getting close to" * Teacher

    1. I said I was busy, I'm still busy. 2. This reply was not funny. 3. If you want something to do until I'm not busy, google "modesty doctrine rape culture" (sans quotes) and that should get you headed in the right direction. While not exactly the topic at hand, there is ample discussion...

    "Getting close to" * Teacher

    I'm eyebrow deep in something that is taking priority right now, so I can't give this the full reply it deserves. But I feel the need to point out just how bloody freaking creepy this post and the other one I quoted are. I can not accurately describe just how uncomfortable and perturbed I am...

    "Getting close to" * Teacher

    That still doesn't mean it is all about attracting attention from men. Again, sometimes we do things for ourselves and not for you.

    "Getting close to" * Teacher

    Um, yeah. We can. It isn't all about you, or other men, or attracting attention in general. Believe it or not, sometimes we do things because we like them, not for anyone elses benefit.

    He doesn't post super often anymore, but our own usalsfyre is the PIO for The Code Green Campaign, and was featured in the interview.

    Anyone here have panic attacks/ anxiety issues?

    You should check out The Code Green Campaign. It is all about first responders with mental health issues.

    The Code Green Campaign

    Given my bias towards the project, the other CLs should probably confirm. Although, for the record, I'm sticking it based on the votes of the people.

    New Ferno IN/X Cot

    That is what we do, works like a charm. Also effective off the side of a porch if there is no railing.

    Any disrespectful, mocking, shaming or generally not cool replies to this question will receive my undivided attention.

    Oh, and stuck. At least for now. I can't promise it will stay stuck.

    The Code Green Campaign

    It actually is 100% anonymous. The link is to a Google form, and those do not collect any info. So the only info the Code Green admin receive is what you voluntarily put.

    The Arrogance of High Expectations

    The right way or the highway looks a lot like "my way" or the highway when you have one progressive guy in the middle of the 1970s.

    Service Dogs

    No one said they had a blanket policy not to take service dogs. It's pets that are the issue.

    Service Dogs

    Pretty much this. Plus trained service dogs know how to behave around other people and animals in strange situations. Even if the dog behaves with you, it's going to piss the hospital off really fast if the dog barks every time something rolls past the door.

    Service Dogs

    Exactly. They must be trained to perform a task. "being there" or "comforting" isn't a task, it has to be a trained behavior, not a instinct. Psychiatric service dogs are trained to do things like fetching medication during a panic attack, or leading the person to a bench during a panic attack...
