Taking off the pedals and training wheels of bikes and selling them to kids.
Wish I thought of that
U.S. here. I “donate” blood regularly to Vitalant. I enjoy the way they do it. You get “points” or often something free for donating (shirts, your name in their sweepstakes to win something large, etc.). You can use the points to redeem gift cards or choose to “donate” the gift card amount back to the organization.
My thoughts: I think these organizations have more donors when they offer compensation, even small vs if they did not. I saw Red Cross offer a chance to win a PS5 once and I’m quite sure it caught some peoples attention and earned them more first time donors -> potential long-term donors.
In 2013 I left a very toxic, abusive relationship (physically, emotionally, sexually).
I’m healthy now but its been a long journey to get here. I have definitely changed as have my life. Its a big milestone that I rarely have to think about now as its been so long. But the lingering effects of trauma went on for years before I considered myself “recovered”
I find any assault to voting rights the most undemocratic and unamerican thing you can do
Ive cosplayed a handful of times. Maybe 4 or 5? Elektra Netflix version was most fun as someone gave me their sparing sais and I found other Netflix Daredevils at the time to pose pics with and pretend to spar.
I was Momo from My Hero Academia. A generic agent from Psychopass. The gun prop i have is fun. It flashes and talks. Jealous now though as there are some that transform. It was cool when I found other characters from the show.
Lastly, I was a terrorist from Counter Strike. I had rubber knives, grenade, sunglasses and I drew a mustache for myself!
I havent cosplayed in a while though and havent been to any conventions lately
- If you want to get into a career, ask someone who is successful in it about it.
- The easiest way to make a great impression is to show up on time and be respectful. Costs nothing.
- I always tell people you need two of the three things to be successful in any career goals:
- Skills
- Formal education
- Networking
You have two of the three youre in good position for anything
Learn how to make resumes and make great impressions with interviews. Theres a lot of resources out there. If youre fresh from college, job fairs and the writing center often have people that can review your skills in both.
I say this because just doing the resume right tells me someone at least is competent enough to learn how to format and hopefully type. I won’t even screen people who put zero effort. Last week, I got a resume where someone just left indented and listed their experience. All same font, no sections… Just a list. Smh.
