They should make this article required reading at all community care/organizing/diversity trainings. :|
A lot of people want to join organizations and help out right now. This is great! And you should also be careful, especially with "new" orgs just getting off the ground.
Be especially careful of those who use nonprofits and progressive orgs as hunting grounds to feed their own ego.

It’s been seven months since I was laid off and in that time I have applied to many many jobs and have had one interview and one phone screen. My unemployment runs out next week.

Last term I tried an experiment: I walked into my Tech and Design Ethics class, admitted that I had *no idea* what to do about ChatGPT - so I would let them figure it out.
As in: their first project was to decide and write the ChatGPT policy for the class.

May those damages strike only the homes of the terror agents who are currently occupying Minnesota. May the ice and rain do damage that just gets worse the longer the occupants are away. May Snow Miser strike them simultaneously in their homes and where they stand.
Widespread freezing rain and sleet are expected south of the primary snow axis. Significant and damaging ice accumulations are likely, with the potential for long-duration power outages, tree damage, and dangerous travel conditions.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Hot take: Reese is the worst character in ACNH because all she does is swoon over her husband after you get something customized by him. It would be cool if she had patterns the way Sable does, but she sells them. Make her more than a stereotype, Nintendo!

American idioms can be confusing for outsiders.
Like how "I could care less" and "I couldn't care less" mean the same thing.
Or how "I'm a small government conservative" means "I think government agents should be able to shoot citizens in the street for no reason with total impunity."

My cousin Kathy died today. She struggled with her health her entire life and it was basically the perfect storm the last two months. She was in her mid-50’s and we’re all gutted.

I was in line at CVS with an old white man collecting his social security, his medicare, and his navy pension who said, with his entire face, that Democrats aren't people.
I chose not to call him an entitled fascist pig.
Please admire my strength.

Just finished another module in my data analysis course. It was the How to Spreadsheet module and just. Just. It was SO BASIC. Didn't even explain VLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, or SUMIFS.

“An Irish Airman Foresees His Death” (Yeats) but only because I have a haunting musical version with Shane MacGowan reciting the lines in a mad rush at the end.
Lots of Yeats in my head—mostly fragments or single lines.
