come 2 japan
I have a few things lined up over the next two months but thinking about hitting Asia in July or August. I'll let you know
yeah send me a whatsapp!
What do you guys think of community college courses? I am thinking of doing a course on professional grant writing writing + nonprofit management. You get a grant writing certification at the end. 12 month program.
Maybe I can start a nonprofit that does something. I can't think of anything I really care about. I just don't want an average life.

they have their place. depending on the course, the prof could be the guy who knows a guy and gets you in with some company doing whatever. i know a few who wrote reference letters for their students.
or if you just want the cert for whatever reason, there's that.

Great way to learn stuff for cheap. I've been thinking about taking a course or two. Quiero ser fluida en EspañolSuperJail Warden wrote:

But what about a grant writing certificate?
Newbie and Ken, you guys have done hiring before. Do you think it would help with positions? I think it would definitely be useful to the NGOs I deal with but I don't know if it would be truly worth the commitment.

i suppose it depends on who you're trying to impress, how experienced they are, what they're impressed by, and if anyone actually gets around to reading it. sometimes stuff doesn't even have to be relevant to wow.
grain of salt. my "position" is an entire hat rack of different things.

it is really too wild to me that we just let some weird nerd destroy one of the main forms of communication globally, just willy-nilly, because he felt like it and could round up enough leveraged capital from banks and rich saudis.
twitter is so broken it's unfunny. 'genius musk'. the main feed hasn't been refreshing properly for the last 2-3 days. i'm getting random adverts now for the weirdest shit – just the lowest-quality advertisers on there, the absolute dregs. i shit you not, every fourth tweet on my feed lately has been for 'decorative winston churchill bookmarks'. as a genuine 'forum' for public discourse, as he kept bragging about, it is comically dead.

this is like the least of what i should criticize musk for at this point but it looks like he's stopped at the door to every high powered event he gets into and gets forced into a blazer.
thanks, apartheid tony stark!
i don't know how long america should harbor someone who collaborates with a serial felon.
Certificate shows you're staying up to date with industry regulations and requirements. At the very least it would give you a leg up on anyone applying that doesnt have the same cert. I have an industry-specific certification and will probably pick up another one during my time off.SuperJail Warden wrote:

Grant-writing skills are always sought out in the NGO/charity space. I remember a charity I was volunteering with was always looking for help in their grant writing, to the point where i was helping a 20 year old girl tidy up her proposals.
You should see the advertising on Sky News and Fox here - I do not need an ear de-waxing machine thanks.uziq wrote:

Also stop calling it twitter, its X or TPFKAT - terpufkat - see how easily it rolls off the tongue?
And its xeets, not tweets.
We can make this a thing with concerted effort.
Fuck Israel
it turns out now that apparently one of their facilities literally caught fire after coming under a sustained network attack by indian hackers.
why? because musk significantly reweighted the payouts from X Premium for indian users. a lot of indians were spamming/botting/gaming the system. a weird thing, in fact, is that lots of the 'white supremacist roman avatar IQ eugenics enjoyers' accounts were quietly ran by indians. high engagement in the west = $$$ for them. now musk has rebalanced the payout system so that western influencers are not sharing their pile with tens of millions of pseudo-hitlers in new delhi.
the whole thing is an abominable clusterfuck.

i think we can compromise on the name and call it xitter.
Did you see Elon's latest xit on xitter?
That could work.
That could work.
Fuck Israel
We should be more tolerant of our work assistants.

My class is switching online learning platforms. Everything in this platform I have used since 2020 is going bye bye. It is a shame since I have done an amazing job organizing the class. This is my World History course. Let me know what you think of the subjects we covered. Also, I can produce one of my U.S. History class if you are interested in seeing what I am actually doing.

School year is legally 180 days. 106 unique assignments. 59% of the school year had a unique assignment. Probably good considering I teach self contained.
