Team Human

While I've been going about the job search this morning, I'm listening to an interview on The Current with Douglas Rushkoff about something called "Team Human". It's probably something that some of you already know about, but it's new to me.

Which reminds me: it was good to get out of the house yesterday to say "hi" to a friend who was celebrating a birthday (late) and their Masters' degree in Divinity (just a couple of days old). In person. Met some new possible friends, did some self-promotion, learned some stuff, helped people learn stuff...and explored a neighbourhood that I don't get to visit on foot very often. I do wish that I'd managed my time yesterday better to more thoroughly explore that neighbourhood.

JOBS: National Research Council of Canada

I don't know that I'm qualified for any of these, but in case someone's interested in what's on offer from this particular branch of the Canadian federal government right now:

So there's a Refugee Day...

...or so I'm informed by John Scalzi, and apparently he got the word from Neil Gaiman. It's supposed to be June 20th. Source:

Seeing as there's a push by the world's more sociopathic politicians right now to criminalize refugees every-damn-where...beyond donating to MSF, UNICEF and Amnesty, publicizing this "Walk With Refugees" news, and one or two other things, I'm unsure of what I can and should do right now that no one else can do.

Webcomics Dropped

I think I'm going to drop Sinfest from my regular webcomic reading. The author seems to have decided that one or more groups which count some of my friendlisters as members are Problematic for the purposes of their understanding of radical feminism.

If it turns out I'm wrong, I'm ready to apologize.
