I was once up for an audience role,for a new org, that I didn't get because they allegedly thought I was "great", but didn't like that I wasn't sold on the metaverse. I didn't get into audience work to lie about how I feel about a thing so, I gotta say, it was worth it.
Meta's Mark Zuckerberg is expected to meaningfully cut resources for building the so-called metaverse, an effort that he once framed as the future of the company and the reason for changing its name from Facebook.

Earlier this year, Oklahoma Watch published a piece about a journalism program we launched at two women's prisons in Tulsa, Oklahoma, alongside Poetic Justice, which resulted in two newspapers.
Incarcerated Women Find Their Voices Through Journalism - Oklahoma Watch
The Prison Journalism Project found a willing partner in Kay Thompson, DOC's communications chief. The former reporter gave approval and support to the projects.

I’ve donated to PJP. I learn so much from their newsletter and articles. And, most importantly, their work makes incarcerated people Visible in a way outside journalism rarely even tries to do. It’s vital, human work of enormous value.
Here’s how your donation helps ⤵️

☑️ Provides journalism training for incarcerated writers.

☑️ Offers edit-coaching support so writers can grow their skills.

☑️ Maintains a publication that brings their stories outside prison walls.

☑️ Keeps our stories free for families and communities.

Hi Bluesky, Giving Tuesday is almost here, and I’m asking y'all for extra support tomorrow. As most of you know, Prison Journalism Project trains and publishes the work of incarcerated writers so their stories can be heard. We are aiming to raise $50,000 before the end of the year

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Unbelievably, Montreal's REM still has a top speed slower than that of marta, a system that began construction 50 years ago.

This is a reflection of how Atlanta was so ahead of its time back then, and how the anti-urbanist political machine and racism has strangled the system in the 50 years since
#Montreal 's just leap-frogged other cities in North America by opening the REM.

Automated. Electric. Frequent (2.5 minute headways). Fast (Capable of 110 km/h). Cheap to build. (One tenth the price of other systems)

And really fun to ride...

When I went home to Mississippi last week, a Black farmer welcomed folks to pick greens from his land for free. It made me wonder whether other communities across the country were also giving back ahead of the holiday.

The answer: yes, they are.

My only half-baked idea is that I don't think reporters should be allowed to work the same beat for longer than 5-7 years. I think this would solve a lot of media problems but not the case with the 20something.

More focused on proximity to power and book deals than doing the actual work of journalism while everyone who actually cares about this work is scrabbling for freelance scraps or being reporter/editor/ceo/social manager/cfo/cto of their newsletter.
