I would really like to submit for a request for different termology than "entry level" for roles that require a degree.

Like, I see how it can still be entry level to someone just getting out of school and entering the work force,

But that is not the majority. 😅

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed is 22 and was studying electrical engineering (you can read about his family in the 🧵 ). He’s trying to help his family including his pregnant sister Rasha and his 4 year old nephew Khamis who started kindergarten yesterday!

Less sharp immediate need, more crashing a bit after therapy and weekends are always isolating and hard and the next couple of days would be a good time for presents and compliments.

BIT’s James Warnken shares why accessibility should be built in - not added later.

💡 When users can personalize content like dark mode, larger text, less motion, or AI, accessibility happens by default.

I was recently approached by the team behind a campaign to make a short film on non-attendance at school, Jo Clayton and Natalie Lauren Woodward.

Jo's short script about the #attendance crisis - Unauthorised Absence - is a finalist for the IMDB Script to Screen Award 2025.

A small spark in a suit and tie, carrying a briefcase, walking through a tree filled park. There are people passing by in the opposite direction on both sides. One woman to the left is jogging, and looks back in shock at seeing this small business savvy shark.

We got her into a hotel, but we don't have enough to keep her there long without hope. She's in extremely dire shape.

Please share, & give what you can. PayPal: madeleinewedemeijer@gmail.com

🚨Azine is in multi organ failure, especially her kidneys. She's unlikely to live much longer.

I don't want her to die in an unheated squat with no running water.

Please help me get her into a hotel or airbnb? She hasn't had heat or running water in weeks, severely exacerbating her medical issues.
ID: A pond with a duck trailing ducklings on the water & a fox on the shore. Surrounding the lake is a forest of evergreen trees and a snowy landscape. The words are in white with black borders. Transcript: Azine's Story Azine travels the world to meet people dear to her. That is her reason for living, as she doesnt know how much time she has left. This goes for everyone, especially with how the world is today. Goes extra for her because of heart-lung disease from birth + a series of embolisms in 2016. Embolisms are kept at bay by medication, due to having had more than one. Dystonia and seizures, were made worse by Lyme disease (tick bite 2009). MCAS, probably from birth, is made a lot worse by environmental toxins. She takes 4 antihistamines including compounded ketotifen (expensive) in very high doses to keep her skin from peeling off & to keep limited food down. "I dont have access to health insurance, even though that is mandatory where I was born.Because people with Lyme and ME/CFS are routinely denied healthcare, persecuted, and jailed in psychiatric hospitals. That is why I became a traveler/refugee. That is why my mom, who still lives there, is deep in debt. Because there was never gov. support or funding for me, not even welfare." I've done all I can out of my own resources. We need your help. Please, boost & share her story, & if you can afford to, donate any amount* you can spare to her mom's PayPal: MadeleineWedemeijer@gmail.com *Literally $1 helps. Fundraisers with more activity, regardless of the size of the donations, are more successful overall as it motivates people to pitch in. And if you include an encouraging message in the memo line, you'll help to lift the severely flagging spirits of all those involved.

The best help I can ask for is more patreons. Right now I’m receiving about $450/mo from Patreon. This supplements the income I get from working at Taco Bell, about $1200/mo. More Patreon = less Taco Bell, more writing, more road trips, more life on my terms
