This is a Béla Fleck’s questionable late ’80s/early ’90s fashion decisions post. WITH A GLORIOUS BONUS APPEARANCE BY JOHN COWAN’S WEIRD HAIRCUT AND SAM BUSH IN PINK HAMMER PANTS. Your argument is invalid, Béla’s sweater is a whale.
You are an inspiration to us all, ’90s bluegrass.

So you’ve just graduated from college and you want to change the world. Good for you. The non-profit sector seems like a natural place for a justice-minded person such as yourself, and nonprofits are almost always hiring because the turnover rate is so high. But you may find the social justice industry to be… a little unjust. Here are a few tips and tricks for how to avoid being exploited by a nonprofit.
- Don’t work at one. Seriously. Working at a non-profit generally involves at least some level of exploitation. (When was the last time you saw a non-profit with a union?) If this doesn’t deter you, figure out what you’re willing to give up: Is it sleep? Weekends? Seeing your friends? Most non-profit workers do not work 9-5. Working nights and weekends is common. Paid overtime is not. Non-profits tend to make you feel like if you are not willing to work 24/7 then you are not “down for the cause.” That’s bullshit. Don’t ever let anyone make you feel like you’re not “down enough” because you are not willing to sacrifice your well-being for “the movement.” People who don’t take care of themselves burn out and often become jaded and bitter. You can’t sustain “the movement” if you don’t sustain yourself.

They did it! They are funded. Wahooo! Since I pledged, that means Noam is coming to my house to play a thank you song for me, right? Yeah, I’m pretty sure that was on the list.
oh nooo this makes me so sad.
It’s heartbreaking, isn’t it? But oh yeah, our gender differences are all totally natural and not pounded into us.
Climbing out of the airlock, quite the commute to work!
What are we going to do when Col. Hadfield returns home (soon) and won’t be sending back all of these amazing photos?

Yet another reason to support the kickstarter for getting the DVD/BluRay made for How To Grow A Band: they have photos like this of Noam for the delight of banjo fangirls everywhere.
