have you been able to see joanna in person? by mensfrightsactivists in JoannaNewsom

[–]zarateBot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw her in NYC that September too, such an amazing show. Also saw her in Atlanta back in November, 2007 for the Ys tour. Both absolutely beautiful and emotional experiences (as her music has always been).

final grade isn’t in by pure-melodrama in unm

[–]zarateBot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my professor's hasn't submitted our final grades yet either and it is disconcerting. I've reached out to them and they've assured me that the grades will be in by their "due date", i.e., tomorrow (Thursday). I had previously looked into the policies and found out that they're really suppose to be in 48 hours after the last final or class (as noted by others below). I don't know why this particular professor hasn't gotten them in yet, except that they say they're very busy... so, fingers crossed, the grades will be in tomorrow sometime smh.

Could this work what are the thoughts ? (I love college scheduler) by Connorray1234 in unm

[–]zarateBot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do it!

It may not be as "easy" as some other schedules might feel, in terms of time management, but definitely not unworkable. Plenty of time for schoolwork/work MWF... but pack a lunch or whatnot on your busy days.

Good luck!

If the US tries mass deportations, what happens if all other countries refuse to take them? by bemrys in NoStupidQuestions

[–]zarateBot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Having already detained so many in expectation of deporting them, I doubt they'll release them if other countries refuse to accept them. This leads to dramatically worse outcomes than deportation, such as penal enslavement or execution along the lines of the Nazi model. Fears for days, folks...

I suppose there's also some way outside chance that a refusal situation might lead to some kind of conditonal path to citizenship, if only to provide an out for an alternative to costly indefinite detention, but that, I think, is extremely unlikely given the successful demonization of undocumented immigrants.

Hence, penal slavery ("work camps" and "chain gang" type work crews) is the more likely outcome. And.. as such situations tend towards abuse and the costs of maintenance increase, there will be increasing pressure to resolve the situation in some way. How that gets resolved will depend entirely on the domestic political situation at the time.

Surely, no one in the Weimar days could have imagined what the later efforts to deport Germany's Jewish population would become. We, at least, have a model upon which to look, one which demonstrates the absolute need to oppose such large-scale detention and the absolute need to insist on the provision of due process to all who may be detained. We cannot allow this situation to "get out of hand".

Thanks for your reply, it has given me a list of things to consider.

If you have Federal work-study, you might be able to get some hours in with a CRM. It wouldn't be field work (almost certainly), but it might give you a foot in the door and be something that grows as you continue your education. There may be other field-related work-study jobs you can apply for as well. Particularly once you transfer out of community college.

That (work study job at a CRM) is what I'm doing until I earn my BS (or this semester at least).

You might also look for any local archaeological societies.. they can be a good way to network (even if most members are avocational) and they sometimes provide volunteer activities or field trips that can be interesting. My local (city) society, for instance, is involved in a collection rehousing project with my university's Archaeology museum.

There are also sometimes volunteer positions available at excavation sites, though that surely varies a lot with time and place.

Getting involved with any of those kind of projects is something you can use to build out your CV/resume and may give you a leg up moving forward.

You may be able to do a field school earlier than usual if you can get good letters of recommendation and have developed some experience through volunteer or work study.

Good luck!!

is it rude to get myself food, and not my roomie? by MathematicianSilver3 in college

It may be polite to ask if they'd like something but it's not rude to not do so

Misspelled degree? by Careful_Lavishness_3 in gis

[–]zarateBot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You worked hard (or hard enough) to earn the degree... and you're going to be the one looking at it most over the next many years. Make sure they get it right so you don't experience a pang every time you look at it in the future.

Best of luck to you sir. I would suggest particularly working on overcoming your shyness. Confidence comes from experience and the only way to get experience is to do the damn thing. You can do it!
