People think that because nonprofits are mission-oriented charitable organizations the people that lead them and work there are not supposed to get paid.

Newsflash: nonprofits are companies. What’s different is they don’t pay profits to shareholders.

You gotta pay for talent. End of story.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Wild they have to write a bill for this
A new bill will head to Congress to prevent women from being turned away or sent home from a hospital while in active labour. This is after a video circulated of a Black woman who was dismissed from a hospital, only to give birth in her truck minutes later on the side of the road.
A woman gave birth 8 minutes after a hospital turned her away. A bill aims to stop that from happening again.
The legislation seeks to stop Black women from suffering during and after childbirth and hold hospitals accountable, according to bill language obtained exclusively by NBC News.

I don’t know how people listen to sports radio/podcasts. This man has said the same thing 15x and is so disorganized and has the worst voice for audio I’ve ever experienced. (My headphones are in the trunk of my Lyft if you couldn’t tell lol)

Saying yes to new experiences will lead to having more fun in life.

I can be really determined about something and get it done.

Making space to enjoy time with friends and family is always the right decision.

I think I have just one more major move left in me, I really hate moving haha
What has this year taught you?

Then again, I can't think of anything that captures AI better than a completely fabricated study based on entirely made-up data.
“What has stunned his former colleagues and mentors is the sheer breadth of his apparent deception. He didn’t just tweak a few variables. It appears he invented the entire study… the paper was cited in congressional testimony. Weeks later, the science journal Nature highlighted it.”

Usually I wear flat back earrings. I just did something in a dream and it made me yank my ear and now I don’t know where my earring is at because it was a regular post. Fingers crossed I find it in the morning.

Folks, Giving Tuesday is around the corner and this is my yearly PSA that while you may be annoyed with nonprofits raising money that day, please be kind especially this year. It's been BRUTAL trying to raise money in 2025.

We finally have jobs numbers out this morning from September and take a look at this: big jump again in Black women's unemployment, now 7.5% from 6.7% in August.

This figure has been ticking up all year. This is now the highest unemployment rate Black women have faced in 4 years, since mid-2021.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :
