Update on the New Orleans Red Dress Run Transphobic Facebook post controversy: they have now changed the website and put their page back up! Let's discuss and review the problematic issues from what was previously published and compare that to what they put up now. Also in the first live stream we discussed the formation of Red Dress Run & Hash House Harriers via colonialism. Today we will follow that up with why I don't believe the fact that Red Dress Run is "for charity" is a reason to sweep the transphobia under the rug, especially considering this is a result of colonialism utilizing colonialism to excuse colonialism. https://lnkd.in/gf88hp9T

In Chicago, DON'T HIRE A JUNK REMOVAL COMPANY for useful household items (think anything you can buy at Ikea). Instead call Chicago Furniture Bank, an amazing non-profit that benefits dozens and dozens of our fellow Chicagoans every week. The work they do is amazing and insanely important. If you need true junk removed along with still useful household items, get in touch with the Furniture Bank's junk removal company: The Honest Junk Company, LLC. They'll take it all, and then sort what's useful and recycle nearly everything else. Oh, and since they're a non-profit, most of their fees are tax deductible. https://lnkd.in/g_VeAHmH

The Legacy of Tun Tavern, Part II - Taverns served a vital role in the creation of the new American Republic. Researcher Baylen J. Linneken noted that taverns were “vital centers where colonists of reputations great and small gathered to read printed tracts, speak with each other on important issues of the day, debate the news, organize boycotts, draft treatises and demands, plot expulsion of their British overlords, and establish a new nation.” (Source: 2012, Baylen J. Linneken, Tavern Talk and the Origins of the Assembly Clause: Tracing the First Amendment’s Clause Back to Its Roots in Colonial Taverns. Hastings Constitutional Law Quarterly 39 (3):593-628.) Some argue that the right to assemble, codified in the First Amendment to the Constitution, was born out of colonial American taverns.   - Colonial taverns of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were typically operated out of dwelling houses, which served multiple purposes. For this reason, tavern architecture did not conform to one particular style, but rather drew on vernacular architectural forms, and taverns were visually similar to other domestic and commercial buildings. (Source: 2003, A.K. Sandoval-Strausz, A Public House for a New Republic: The Architecture of Accommodation and the American State, 1789-1809. Perspectives in Vernacular Architecture 9:54-70).   - Built as one of the earliest taverns in Philadelphia, the Tun Tavern was likely expanded in the early eighteenth century. Thereafter, several social groups began to meet there, including the first Masonic group in Pennsylvania and three groups that assisted people moving to the colony from Europe – the St. George’s, St. Patrick’s, and St. Andrew’s societies. These are just a few of the details shared in the report. “The new historical study offers fresh insights that will inform efforts to preserve and interpret the Tun Tavern’s legacy,” said Pat Dailey, president and founder of the Tun Tavern Legacy Foundation. “By analyzing the tavern’s architectural features and comparing them to other colonial-era structures, the report provides recommendations for how a historically accurate reconstruction might look.” As the Tun Tavern Legacy Foundation shares details from this comprehensive study, it hopes to spark interest in rediscovering and celebrating this historic institution’s history. Through careful interpretation, the spirit of the Tun Tavern can once again come to life.

At SureCall Contact Centers, we pride ourselves on giving back to our community. Recently, our team assisted Hull Services by painting picnic tables, removing old paint, and trimming bushes. We learned that annual painting is necessary due to wear from children and sun exposure, and that the maintenance team is busy with multiple properties, often relying on volunteers. The experience was rewarding, especially learning about support programs for individuals away from home. Our efforts made a positive impact on these individuals' summer, and we encourage more volunteers to participate in community service initiatives. #ExecutiveLeadership #CEOInsights #CLevelLeadership #CorporateInnovation #CXOLeaders #BusinessPerformance #StrategicPartnerships #NYCExecutiveLeadership #LosAngelesBusinessSolutions #ChicagoCorporateStrategy #CaliforniaBusinessLeaders #DallasExecutiveDecisions #AtlantaEnterpriseSolutions #SeattleBusinessInnovation #LondonExecutiveLeadership #ManchesterBusinessSolutions #BirminghamCorporateStrategy #GlasgowBusinessOperations #LiverpoolLeadershipInsights #CorporateCultureExcellence #CanadianWorkplacePride #CultureOfInnovation

🏡As many people are preparing to list their homes for sale this summer, we have the honor and privilege of helping with a lot of the initial decluttering before staging and packing can even begin. A recent client asked us to tackle several rooms in her home including the 👩🏽🍳kitchen in a matter of 2 hours by one member of #TeamIJS. Biggest tips and take aways? 🍇Always find the low hanging fruit first and in this case it was the stuff on the floors and counter. It gave us the ability to then dive into the cabinets and drawers and pull out what was going to be donated or thrown out. 🗑️Immediately remove donations and trash from the space or your brain will continue to only see clutter and not a clearing. 🗄️Make sure there is enough space in the cabinets and drawers to temporarily contain stuff on the counter that you use on a daily basis but don't want out for any Realtor showings. 🖼️And don't forget about taking anything on your refrigerator (photos, magnets, etc.) off the surfaces, as well as remove anything that has been collecting dust on top of the refrigerator or use a basket to "corral" everything for a more aesthetically appealing visual, but still give you access to whatever you put inside it. #GarageOrganization #HomeOrganization #Declutter #TransformYourSpace #ItsJustStuff #professionalorganizer #downsizing #homeorganizer #clutter #organizing
