somewhat belated because we’ve been really busy again but! we have a docs page up and running, we have the email situation hopefully sorted out, and stuff is flowing again generally. things are going pretty good right now on the backend for Beehaw, i’d say, and hopefully that continues as the week progresses.
when things chill out i’m hoping to get back to finishing a few books which i was reading in May–this has been a full time gig basically, so i haven’t had any real downtime. i only just got in some Stardew Valley last night.
I went to a second public meeting about how our small community is going to combat youth violence. This series of meetings was prompted after a recent highschool graduate was shot by police.
The first meeting was attended largely by religious leaders who also engage in violence prevention in a nearby city as well as local leaders and school administration. Most of the discussion centered around the causes of young people carrying guns, youth violence, and criminality.
The second meeting was local leaders from various groups and schools discussing strategies of keeping young people engaged and away from violent and criminal behavior as well as how they can coordinate with each other to best share their resources.
I had volunteered to give a short talk about online reselling as a form of legitimate side income to the financial literacy class for young people, however the class was postponed due to the meetings.
