Would anyone be interested in a club like this?

8 Upvotes

Note: The soonest I would start this club would be Spring of 2027, as this semester is a bit hectic for me

So, I’m a cybersecurity student with interests in activism, sustainability, and disaster preparedness—both in the individual (like “what if someone starts stalking me”) as well as the communal (like “what if I get displaced by a wildfire”). In case you couldn’t tell by those three interests, I watched The Walking Dead as a kid and my family fled Louisiana shortly after Katrina, so I have always believed that the only way a community survives when SHTF is by pulling together and supporting each other.

I’ve also recently learned of the C-CERT program, which is a program offered by FEMA for college clubs where club members can train to do low-level (read NOT DANGEROUS) volunteer work during disasters alongside first responders.

Thus, I’m considering starting a club next semester (working name Safehouse Training and Fellowship, also known as SHTF or Safehouse) that focuses on perhaps the most underrated-yet-absolutely-vital part of activism; intentionally growing your community.

The basic idea of this club would be in four parts

1.) We meet every week to learn and share practical skills (like self-defense, how to mend, basic repairs, situational awareness, etc). Sometimes bringing in people from around town, sometimes bringing in collaborators from other clubs, but also members can volunteer to teach the basics of a skill they know that they think could benefit everyone

2.) We have an ongoing Discord group chat where people can offer and receive support on things they’re struggling with (like meal sharing, transportation, or just plain old stress), both in the practical help and in words of comfort and kindness

3.) If there are major widespread issues around campus that we feel need to change (like de-flocking, cult awareness, or making the campus a sanctuary for immigrants), we can peacefully (so we don’t get banned) rally with other clubs to bring about positive change for our campus community

4.) Every semester, we’ll offer training for C-CERT so that people can learn to safely volunteer during disasters. This will be open to both club members and non-members, but note that non-members will likely have to pay a small fee just to cover costs

I’ll be honest; I was event coordinator for years in my high school, but I’ve never been club president before. Thus I’m also not sure if this club idea is something people would be interested in joining. However, I wanted to put feelers out there just to see, in case there’s any way we can actively strengthen our community.

However, there is so much that troubles us nowadays, and many of us feel isolated by it. By intentionally joining together as a community, we go from the single voices of a half-dozen strangers to the palpable sound of an army.

So…would anyone be interested in joining this club?

Their office is always locked when I try and go inperson, I call and I'm on hold for ages until I eventually give up and leave a message. I email and don't get a response with anything I actually need. I'm just trying to do the confirmation of an update to my fafsa

Looking for a Roomate/ room to rent

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for a room or roommate situation for my 21-year-old brother. He’s clean, respectful, friendly, and easy to get along with. He’s responsible and would be a great person to have around the house.
Our dad is currently passing away, and I’m trying to find a place for my brother so that we can stay close and support each other during this difficult time.
If anyone has a room available, is looking for a roommate, or knows of anything that might be a good fit, please feel free to message me. We’re open to discussing rent, location, and details privately.
Thank you so much ❤️

21st Birthday in Flag

10 Upvotes

Hello!

A couple of questions: does anyone know of any local spots that do birthday freebies? I've gone to Karma for each birthday since my 18th and always get their dessert, but I'm looking for other local spots.

Additionally, my birthday falls on a Saturday this year. I want to go out with my friends but am unsure if I'll be refused since my ID orientation won't be switched yet. I think legally I can be served for the rest of the month, but if it's a busy Saturday night, am I likely to be refused?

Thank you in advance!!!

Edit:

If you're signed up for toast local. Bigfoot does $5 off and Awa Kava does $10 off

Dietary Restrictions Not Available on Campus?

9 Upvotes

So, I live off-campus, and I have a kitchen. I’ve been wanting to test out new recipes for my friend who will be moving up next year. She knows she has a ton of allergies, but she’s still getting tested for what exactly those are.

I know Simple Servings exists on campus, but I’ve heard many people say it’s somewhat lackluster. I’ve also eaten there before, and the food is…eh.

Thus, I’m curious; What are some dietary restrictions y’all have that have made it hard to eat on campus? Could be allergies, could be a specific diet you have to follow (vegan, Mediterranean, paleo, etc).

I see this is a real issue on campus, and while I’m no professional chef, I want to see if there’s any way I can help with this.

Need a Comedy Buddy

I'm interested in some of the stand up comedy shows around Flag. Unfortunately the only venue I can get into requires me to have accompaniment by someone over the age of 21 (I'm underage but not a minor lol) Anyone willing to go with me? I wanted to see a few shows before I try out stand up for myself. 😅

You Are Being Spied On

96 Upvotes

Flock ALPRs are on campus and not going anywhere until people make a stink about it. Contact asknaupd@nau.edu and tell them they’re perverts as professionally as you can get away with. We all know what these cameras are really used for. Either creating false accusations, or spying on women. Over 50 officers in the USA are facing stalking charges because they used Flock cameras to spy on women they were infatuated with. Sometimes ex girlfriends, sometimes women they’d only ever met once. At times, they were underage. Let’s give them all the benefit of the doubt first, but if they double down then we know that the individuals working for NAUPD just want pictures of you.
