I made a suuuuuper ez mode tutorial on deploying and maintaining a custom site for my friend that’s about to look for a job. I’m curious if y’all know of a better method than this that’s also free. Let me know 😊 https://jeffreylikeswebsites.com/posts/how-to-do-this/ #jekyll #ruby

deploying and maintaining something like this easily

This guide is for my friend to make a quick personal site. There are lots of great tutorials out there; however, I didn’t see anything concise enough that included all steps. We will: Use Jekyll as the framework for heavy lifting Deploy with GitHub pages Not spend money or time, go play with your dog

This is an amazing chart from the International Monetary Fund. If we stopped subsidizing fossil fuels, we would come very close to meeting our international climate targets. You can support capitalism or the fossil industry, but not both.

As @pluralistic reports, similar applies to (presumably diesel) tractors already

Advanced high school students should just take college classes at community college anyway. 🤷🏿‍♂️

If you take African American history at DeAnza college, the course costs $124, which is less than the college board test*. And the course credit transfers to California State Universities and University of California schools like Berkeley. 👍🏿

Save your cash!

*Yes, transportation can be an issue.

The solution to the AP African American history thing is clear, but no one wants to say it, so I will.

Universities should refuse to accept college credit for the African American studies course.

"But that's just hurting students that want to study African American history!"

No, it's not. They can still take the fake course. They just don't need to take the fake test, because the credit will not be accepted by Universities anyway.

Which is correct. Because it's an incomplete curriculum.

I don’t know if “climate activist” is really the right way to put it. Like, if I’m drowning and trying to come up for air, I’m not suddenly an “oxygen activist”—I’m literally just trying to stay alive. Maybe addressing climate change shouldn’t be viewed as an “activist” position.
