We have a basement suite in our home here in Kelowna that we rent out. It's neat, tidy, and affordable (about 30% below avg). Our tenant is moving out May 1st, so I posted an ad. The response has been overwhelming, and kinda troubling...

Preparing for an job interview is labour and candidates may even have to take time off work to attend an interview. I'm pleased to share that @FoodShareTO will now be compensating folks ($75) for their interviews (approx. 1 hr) to join our team. 1/2

Some months ago, a dear friend asked me for a favor. Her former boarding school, Middlesex, wanted me to come speak as part of BHM. Speaking at this type of school is not something I typically do, but she’s my friend. I said yes. I just learned the Pres & board canceled my talk.

Hey @hudsonsbay, it would have been a good idea for you to get my permission to use my face and associated activism to solicit donations “to support employment and empowerment of IBPOC”, no?

This. Is. Why. I. Love. Technology. ❤️ Sometimes, it's like magic.
The best use of technology is to improve quality of life. Watch people’s beautiful first expressions of hearing sounds for the first time. Pure joy! @RexChapman

We must teach the difference between data and insights. A regurgitation of data from a social listening or platform tool is NOT an insight. An observation regarding that data is just that - an observation. Real insights are a revelation.

Turns out, there can be consequences to this design stuff. Read below.

Clubhouse is pressuring users to upload their contacts, prompting them to join welcome rooms with their former bosses and exes, and suggesting they invite their therapists, deceased grand-aunts, and 10-year-old phone cards. onezero.medium.com/clubhouse…
