Non-profit compensation

My talented friend over at Kinemapoetics, posted a well-argued piece about the problem of non-profit administrators drinking the Kool-Aid of “our staff does important work, so they should expect less pay.”

He sums it up better than I ever have and I give him mad props. Read All pigs are created equal but some are more equal, and other pigs work for nonprofits where they aren’t paid the value of their labor.

I adore my friends. I am so lucky to have such thoughtful, smart people in my life.

Tom Cruise’s Scientology Video

Defamer has the creepy Tom Cruise Scientology video up on their site for the time being. Go watch it before he sues them and they have to take it down.

It’s funny, because with the Scientology craziness, I’d always said that my hunch was that he was more like his character in Magnolia than any other he’d played — which is why it was so convincing. Watching that video totally confirmed that hypothesis.
