"...the best way to deal with uncertainty is for fundraisers & researchers to have a good, trusting relationship.
Fundraisers should be able to trust prospect research to provide the best data possible; researchers trust that their recommendations are heeded." #prospectresearch
Gift officers and prospect researchers have nightmares about working with bad information when approaching donors—leading them to ask for far too much money (or not enough). Elisa Shoenberger discusses avoiding the missteps: bit.ly/2sHhtp2

All of the Washington prison libraries have posted their wish lists and you can buy them a book for Giving Tuesday. I could not love this more.

"Homelessness is killing Seattle" asserts that those with the least power — the ones clawing and scratching to get a hot meal, clean clothes, a shower and a safe place to sleep — have the capacity to take down the Emerald City at the height of its power. realchangenews.org/2019/11/0…

APA also supports the #OxfordComma, yay
APA welcomes singular “they” ~
"Writers should use singular “they”: (a) when referring to a generic person whose gender is unknown or irrelevant to the context and (b) when referring to a specific, known person who uses “they” as their pronoun."

Anti-Oxford Comma people are like “if your sentence is unclear without an Oxford Comma, then just simply rearrange the words, change rules of syntax, flip it and reverse it, collect all the Infinity Stones, bend space and time, duh!”
Or, you could...use an Oxford Comma 🙄

Today is #NativeWomensEqualPay Day, the day when Native women’s pay catches up to what white, non-Hispanic men were paid in 2018.
Native women must work more than 21 months for what white men got in a year. We must #DemandMore.

We can say that June 5th, 1889 was a sunny day in Seattle as this photo shows. None of the structures in this photo would exist by the end of the following day. Tomorrow is the 130th anniversary of the Great Fire that changed Seattle forever. (Public domain photo). #wawx

Tried to sneak this one under the Mueller wire: I reviewed more than 2,000 theft cases prosecuted by Seattle between 2017 and 2018. You might be surprised to learn that Goodwill pursues more charges against shoplifters than any other retailer in the city. kuow.org/stories/a-homeless-…
