They give fine grain details on the Chance For Hope Foundation page. There are some pieces of info the charity posts transparently, but they’re missing critical items like any financial statements. The Charity Navigator rating system basically only recommends donating to charities with a perfect 4 star rating.
There are many great organizations out there doing awesome work. The website Charity Navigator does a good job rating different organizations for their transparency and how much of their funds are actually spent on their mission. They gave the “charity” mentioned in the article a 2 star rating.
If your profession has a professional society or industry has a trade association, look into webinars, certification classes, or other events they might have to learn more about your field and build skills. They often have opportunities to get involved with the organization as well, which could look good on paper to management when promotion opportunities arise…or new job applications if there are no promotions
And stay hydrated

Flood insurance largely is only government run, it’s far too costly for private companies. The flood insurance program started paying for people to not rebuild
Agree. I think MS and Google selling more cheap “cloud laptops” could totally be a thing. The personal device would mostly be a screen and bare bones components
But then there’s a paradox of only people who are independently wealthy can then afford to be politicians with the security and housing demands they face. If we want more working class people to run for office, they need some help. How about we just ban politicians and their families from owning individual stocks?
Counter point… Progressive reps like AOC and Max Frost are not wealthy and maybe could benefit from better security
Nothing like a good ole fashion invasion of an oil producing country to lift holiday spirits /s
We make LGBTQs: lettuce, guac, bacon, tomato, and queso. It’s some gourmet shit
Thanks for sharing. I had never even heard of sweet potato pie and just assumed pumpkin pie was a Thanksgiving tradition all over the US
Agree with many of the other commenters on the multiple causes of loneliness.
I’ve been fortunate to find community at my Unitarian Universalist church. UUs don’t have an expectation to believe any particular scripture, but instead share a common set of values, the first being every one has inherent worth and dignity. My congregation has people who identify as atheist, Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim, and several types of pagan. So the focus is on being in community and helping each other grow and achieve their goals. I’ve made good friends through the choir and a young adult group that organizes social activities. UU congregations vary based on their membership, and many stream services virtually so you can check them out before going in person. Here’s a link to find a congregation near you.
A lot of classical music most people are exposed to are single movements within a larger composition. Listening to whole symphonies/concertos/suites/etc gives you a consistent vibe for 20-45 mins.
Some I like:
Violin Concerto in E Minor Op 64 - Felix Mendelssohn
Violin Concerto #5 in A Major, K219- Mozart
Symphony #2 in D Major - Jean Sibelius
Cello Suite #1 in G Major - J.S. Bach
Moonlight Sonata - Beethoven
Miserei Mei Deus - Gregorio Allegri (has an interesting story)
Live recordings/performances of the Revivalists have this vibe! Their music that makes it to the radio is so sanitized.
Eh, nonprofit professional societies are the more natural home for journals, and many already do have journals. They’re less likely to be partial to a particular institution than if universities ran journals. Their revenue also goes back into the community via services for early career scientists and grants.
