Xander ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Up for discussion: Amy just submitted a story for Good Stuff, but it's a (very worthy) fundraising pitch, and I generally don't post those. I'm not 100% sure why I don't, but it's partly because I don't want to pick and choose which causes are good enough and partly because I feel like they are not Good Stuff yet.
Anyone want to sway me either direction?
I wasn't sure about it either, Jesse, but I figured it could stand signal-boosting. You don't have to run it, though. I know we usually don't.
It could totally use signal-boosting! Which is why I'm conflicted.
Can you note that you don't usually post fundraisers because you don't like to pick and chose but and you feel like they're not good stuff yet but this one feels like it's already good stuff?
Mmmm.....that one is tough. I'm agnostic on the question.
This week, 2 kids from school have been hospitalized because of alcohol related incidents. Wednesday, my student who tried to commit suicide was placed on a 72 hour hold. Today we did a search for alcohol and drugs. And now we are having a school lockdown.
What is going on?!
(Also, Ironically, I'm teaching the 4th Amendment today!)
I worry that disclaimers aside you would start seeing a lot of fundraiser submissions.
Could you post it WITHOUT the fundraiser information? People who felt inspired could easily track it down.
My concern would be the same as Brenda's. There are a ton of worthy fundraisers out there. Where would you stop?
Or you could just leave it off. I reblogged it, and I know others are -- maybe I'll post it to Facebook, too.
Kat, that's a rough week. I don't know how you do it.
