Social Work ranks number 4 in Best Jobs for Saving the World

If you can’t handle people being critical of your organization, than you shouldn’t be in the nonprofit sector
No bull shit.
Because that’s what it’s all about. Being critical in order to examine and recognize gaps, methods, goals, and successes in order to improve.
And if you’re unable to be critical of your OWN organization? Then just gtfo…
End rant.
UGHHHH i can’t EVEN with the personhood bill in the VA house right now…
But really? THIS is the priority right now? I hate it here…
ATTENTION RICHMOND!!! GET YOUR TAXES DONE FOR FREE!!
No bullshit!!
If you made less than $50,000 in 2011, you can get your taxes done for free by this super awesome organization called MetroCASH. There’s a girl in my policy class who’s interning there, and i encourage everyone to check it out!!
Your taxes will be prepared and filled for free, by volunteers and accountants who actually know what they’re doing. Don’t pay too much or get scammed while you’re doing your taxes, and have the security of knowing a real person prepared your taxes rather than some website. There are sites all over the city.
FORREAL THOUGH!! IT’S FREE!! YOU’D BE CRAZY NOT TO DO IT!!
Spread the word Richmond. Check out their website here. Get yo money!!
Ameena Matthews, a violence interrupter with the Chicago organization CeaseFire, mediates disputes to prevent gang violence from escalating. She’s one of the people profiled in the documentary The Interrupters, which will air on Frontline later this week.
CAN’T WAIT TO WATCH THISSSS!!!
Shit Social Workers Say… My best friend definitely just shared this with me.
omg i’m crying lol “SELF CARE!!!”

The Kids Are All In Jail of the Day: According to a study published in the latest issue of the scientific journal Pediatrics, just under a third of all American citizens will be arrested before the age of 23.
When a similar study, published nearly half a century ago by criminologist Ron Christensen, claimed that 22% of Americans under 23 would be arrested, the result shocked the country.
The latest study, compiled by University of North Carolina-Charlotte criminologist Robert Brame and his team using over a decade’s worth of data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, suggests that number may have increased by as much as 8.2% over the past 44 years.
“There’s a lot more arresting going on now,” said Carnegie Mellon criminologist Alfred Blumstein, who was a member of President Lyndon Johnson’s crime task force alongside Christensen. Blumstein pointed out that drugs and domestic violence — crimes that would not have been a priority for police in the 60s — account for some of the increase in arrests.
Criminologist Megan Kurlychek also noted that most smaller offenses were handled informally by local authorities 40 years ago. “Society is a lot less tolerant of these teenage behaviors,” she said, emphasizing that “arrests have worse consequences than ever for these juveniles.”
“[Arrest records] follow you forever,” Kurlychek said. “The average teenager who steals an iPod or is arrested for possession of marijuana — why do we make that define their lives?”
