"...the best way to deal with uncertainty is for fundraisers & researchers to have a good, trusting relationship. Fundraisers should be able to trust prospect research to provide the best data possible; researchers trust that their recommendations are heeded." #prospectresearch

Gift officers and prospect researchers have nightmares about working with bad information when approaching donors—leading them to ask for far too much money (or not enough). Elisa Shoenberger discusses avoiding the missteps: bit.ly/2sHhtp2 @Vogontroubadour

APA also supports the #OxfordComma, yay
Jane@DrJaneCocks4 Nov 2019
APA welcomes singular “they” ~ "Writers should use singular “they”: (a) when referring to a generic person whose gender is unknown or irrelevant to the context and (b) when referring to a specific, known person who uses “they” as their pronoun." apastyle.apa.org/blog/singul…

Welcome, singular “they”

This blog post provides insight into how this change came about and provides a forum for questions and feedback.

Happy Halloween Eve! It’s time for another year of my all-time favourite festivity, Tokyo’s mundane Halloween costume party, where folks dress up as an utterly normal and boring thing Here are my favourite costumes from the 2019 event this past weekend
Amen. Every time I get to this intersection I shake my head at whoever thought it was clever to make bikes cross 2 lanes of traffic on a diagonal. I just ride with cars until the bike lane picks up again.

Yes please. And no need to apologize for your handwriting when you volunteer- enough of us grew up typing so we have chickenscratch writing anyway.

Reminder to fellow dudes: When you are in a group discussion and it needs a notetaker, volunteer to do it. There’s a gender imbalance in tasks like notetaking, so let’s do our part. taking notes also lessens our tendency to dominate the conversation or mansplain stuff

Can we talk about the new bike lane on 9th that ends after a block and diverts you DIAGONALLY across 2 lanes of traffic? I know someone's heart was in the right place there, but dude, I think you made it worse. #Seattle #biking
