The Multiverse ZineNo. 67May 4, 2025

Standup, gated. Pay once, stay in.

Standup Goes Gated

Job Search standup became a gated community class, an album dropped, and the research program was set to return free.

This issue is dressed as Industrial Gothic

Job Search standup changed so that a single standup membership payment gets you in for good, with continued payments optional. Liz said she would be teaching daytime classes over the summer, and the morning standups would shift toward what students are learning and starting a business.

The research program was set to return as a 100% free, invite-only program, with proposals submitted by email and firm deadlines. Liz hoped to offer researchers a stipend the following year.

Liz also released an album, free to listen to and download with stems for remixing. The neurodivergence data scrub and privacy advice from the previous issue ran again.

Job Search is changing! It'll be free (kind of).

Frankly I'll be teaching a bunch of daytime things this summer, so I will be somewhat spotty on being able to do a 8-10am class M-TH every week. It is very important for our community that we meet regularly, so I'll be making Standup a "Gated Community Class". Basically- if you pay once for a standup membership, you're in (because then I won't get spammers or actual children coming in). You can continue to pay the Standup membership, but it is now optional.

Originally, I wanted to stop doing this in the summertime, but everyone loves the Solarpunk standup and the Job Searching, so we'll still meet in the morning. We'll just naturally shift the topic distribution to "learn the things you're learning at the Multiverse" and "Start a Business". I may rename the calendar invite.

Job Search is changing! It'll be free (kind of).

Multiverse Crew-

Hey wanna see some cool impact numbers?

The research program

That said, Summer is when I have actual time to do The Research Program. I will reach out to you individually to invite you to apply.

This time around: The research team is a 100% free program, not a discount on the membership. Next year I hope to have a stipend available for researchers. That said, it will still be invite-only. Apply by proposing projects over email, I'll respond to those of you who are in. Caution: there will be deadlines.

Also

Oh also I dropped an album and you can listen to it for free and download the stems to remix here. It's Suno-generated songs off of poems I wrote myself about how angry I am.

Album with stems

Free album of Suno-generated songs from Liz's poems, with stems to remix.

Resist

The CyberPony Express continues, ah I'll announce the next one soon.

In other news, every piece of information related to anyone here being neurodivergent has been scrubbed from our databases. All teacher notes, applications, anything you filled out related to the Multiverse School and being neurodivergent has been erased from our systems, including backups. We'll be scrubbing anything that could be used to specifically identify you as neurodivergent. It's now too compromising to keep around.

If the autism lists affect you, have your data deleted from BetterHelp. Under many state laws, you can also request private insurance companies and any doctors you have worked with delete your medical data, or specific elements of your data. HIPPA is what controls this. That said, who knows what really happens to it. Unfollow groups on facebook that suggest that you're neurodivergent. Stop liking things on social media related to neurodivergence. This all sucks, it can help reduce the probability you get swept up in a dragnet.

Look, people ask me what I recommend to keep your data secure- ya gotta understand that privacy is an extreme lifestyle but maybe what you need. The book I linked (a non-affiliate direct-purchase link of a pdf you can download) is about as up-to-date as you can get. I don't feel comfortable selling you something based on the world's state, I feel like it's opportunistic. I can recommend that book, but be warned any opsec list that's in a book is decaying, rapidly.

Want to talk to neurodivergents about neurodivergent stuff safely? Get. A. Meshtastic. Node. Talk there.

Got the thing.

Multiverse Programs

ok the robots thing will be starting in June. Yes, you can apply to get involved. Let's seize those means.

I scheduled a new track of Prompt Engineering! We've revamped and updated the Prompt Engineering curriculum to cover Advanced RAG, and this week we'll start covering Model Context Protocol since it seems like the AI world is standardizing tools around MCP. It starts this week! Monday, at 5PM!

Solarpunk Standup is going on still - this is first assembly. Bring your problems, needs, and we'll get the community problem-solving. This is included in any membership tier and for anyone currently in a class or anyone I've said can just come.

Job Search / Brandup Standup will be from 9am - 10am Pacific. This is where you'll work on either search for jobs (literally apply to jobs, put in proposals, pitch contracts, do outbound emails), or your personal brand (literally the stuff like your website, social media post, mass communications, etc).

Are you learning some tech stuff? We launched a lot of free tools for learning to code recently. These are Custom GPTs that will run fully customizable courses- just tell them where you're at! They each assume some amount of knowledge, but if you don't have it, that's fine! Just tell them how new (or how experienced) you are and it will add enough supplementary materials for you.

Math and Python are still being run as Community Classes- this means if you're on any tier (or frankly if you've paid for a class at one point) you can drop in to get help with Math or Python.

Don't forget to join us on Matrix, where we'll stay tight-knit and coordinated, run mutual aid groups, and keep everyone safe. This is going to be a rough few years. Let's keep each other safe and sane.

See you at first assembly.
