A service our nonprofit has been using for years (paper.li) is shutting down.
This service curated articles & media about selected topics which we could then use to populate an online newsletter. We also were able to embed that newsletter in a frame on our primary website.
Any suggestions about comparable services? Thanks for any feedback.

Good read. If you produce original content, are you thinking about including an AI policy?
Wired is taking a cautious approach to generative AI, publishing an official AI policy that defines what the publication plans to use the technology for - and what it won't be doing.

I'm working with a mentee. They are having a rough go at it and are very economically challenged. They are actively job searching.
Currently, all they have is a cell phone. I'd love to be able to get them a computer - a #Chromebook would be more than enough.
Does anyone know of a non-profit that helps get tech to socio-economically challenged folks?
I'd appreciate a boost!
I was honored to speak with James Jones, founder of the Quality of Life Group, on my #podcast. If you don’t know James, he is a highly empathetic IT leader with a heart for helping others. His #NonProfit provides support for the disabled by providing them with equipment to improve their mobility.
Please give our chat a listen, I know James very well and his life journey is one we can all learn from!

Nonprofit and association peeps,
I'd like to invite you to join an open LinkedIn group on #AI, specifically, #GenerativeAI and the #nonprofit and association community. We don't have answers, but we're asking a lot of questions!
Some of the topics will be:
What kind of #transparency requirements should we apply as a sector?
What are the potential outcomes of widespread adoption of generative AI?
How can we address the issue of bias-in, bias-out?
What should we know and do about #security?
What do we need to do as a sector to be able to lead instead of react?
If these sound like important questions, please join us! Right now, we're very loosely shaped, getting people into a room to start talking.
It's an open group, but be respectful, no selling, and generally be the person Mr. Rogers and/or Dolly Parton would like you to be.
Join us for discussion and probably some debate, too!
Despite being exposed as bogus, some #Texas right-wing organizations keep coming back from the dead. No one knows who is funding them.

Hear me out on this idea... Banks are doing two things... one of which is they're holding our money and facilitating transactions. The other of which is lending out money trying to make a profit... There is NO reason these should be intertwined in the modern world.
Make banks be #nonprofit, reinvesting profits into financial technology development, #infosec, facilitating transaction integrity, and/or charity purposes. When it comes to investment, we have money market, mutual funds, and ETFs

#News (among many types of #information) is not supposed to make a profit anyway, so why propose #LinkTax to further enrich the existing monopoly on #Canadian #newspaper's? As proposed in this article, #local, #NonProfit ownership of #media should be the solution to help it better serve the communities. Ultimately, it's up to us to maintain our access to information, not faceless businesses.

I’ve finished transferring my follows over from my other accounts, so folks probably would like another #introduction. I'm Greyson, a 30something androfemme #nonbinary queermo living in the PNW with my partner of over a decade (#T4T) and our void cat, Pringles. We have a very happy life with our chosen family, both here and across the world. I am blessed to have many friends from many different backgrounds who've helped me grow my worldview since leaving my home state of Pennsylvania.
.
I work in HR at a housing #nonprofit because we need to eat and I’m tired of wrecking my body for minimum wage. Obviously, this account represents only my own views and not those of my employer (past or present). Also maybe consider not being a snitch, if that was on your mind.
.
In my spare time, I play #VideoGames as a survival cope for living in this capitalist hellscape as a #neurodivergent #queer. I tend towards #CozyGames and #RPG. I have a #PC as well as a #PS5 and a #NintendoSwitch. I used to have an #Xbox, which was my long-time platform, but it gave up the ghost recently. Currently getting into #GenshinImpact and #CoralIsland.
.
I'm also a reader, though I'm currently on a break due to recently changing jobs and lacking the mental bandwidth. I read over 50 books last year which is a personal adulthood record. Mostly this is in #audiobook format, as it's easier for me to cruise through them at work or doing chores. But I have to do most non-fiction in physical for retention. I track over on #StoryGraph (though I'm in the middle of converting my records from physical to audio).
.
I'm also into #crafts. I know a lot about #CandleMaking, am mediocre at #sewing, and love #gardening. Unfortunately, being bound to an apartment means that I'm mostly into watching other people craft right now and tending my growing army of houseplants. Show me what you're working on!
.
I'm also in the process of converting to #Judaism. My partner and I have gone on much of our spiritual journey together and both had the distinct feeling upon investigating Judaism that we were coming home. I'm very excited about this, as I've been lowkey fascinated by Judaism since I was a child, but I'm trying to be cool about it. I know it's kind of A Thing right now for all us transes to convert to being #Jewish but my partner and I ending up here in this moment is coincidental (though, to be fair, the parallels are there for anyone who looks with interest in seeing them). Again, trying to be cool about it.
.
Here's a picture of my very #trans self in my worksona cosplay:
What is Critical Thinking?
📚 "Critical thinking is a kind of thinking in which you question, analyse, interpret, evaluate and make a judgement about what you read, hear, say, or write.
"To become a better critical thinker, you therefore need to learn how to:
[1] Clarify your thinking purpose and context;
[2] Question your sources of information;
[3] Identify arguments;
[4] Analyse sources and arguments;
[5] Evaluate the arguments of others; and
[6] Create or Synthesise your own arguments."

Often, there's a problem with the #OrganizationalCulture of the sector. Moreover, the culture of #philanthropy looms over it, requiring only positive news.

RSS is back! Is RSS back? Did it go away? In any case, there has been some chatter among our colleagues and peers inspired by Twitter chaos about brining content back to blogs and such AND use of RSS to keep up on things. Some of us started to use a tool not mentioned in article but a good one, NetNewsWire, to get back into RSS. It’s a great way to keep up on more substantive content being produced out there.
Asking for recommendation for secure group chat.
Are there any end-to-end encrypted, easily accessible platforms for group chats? This would be for peer-to-peer support, highly sensitive conversations.
#VibrantEmotionalHealth a USA #nonprofit which administers its #CrisisLines network #988Lifeline is using #Facebook to host a support site for pandemic survivors and responders. This is wonderful, except for the platform.
Before advocating to move this off a #Meta - owned site, I'd love to have an alternative. #Discord does not use E2E encryption at this time, is my understanding, just encryption. Thanks.

A very good blog on the distinction between commercial vs nonprofit/decentralized #socialmedia, like in the #Fediverse.
Author focuses on brain hacking and #dopamine reward systems, which was all the rage to discuss ten years ago, but was then forgotten. She argues, #nonprofit social media utilizes the same reward pathways as do commercial sites. So, we - as a community - must resist abuse of reward pathways to induce addiction.

What's fascinating about how some folks in the #nonprofit sector talk about AI/ML is that it's framed within the capitalist desire to do more with less...meaning AI/ML is a tool to keep austerity/scarcity alive & well in the NP space.
“The McKinseys and the Deloittes have no expertise in areas they’re advising in” https://buff.ly/3jR0kEe this makes me think about #nonprofit consultants who have worked a year or two at nonprofits but have all the answers as consultants.
