sooooo if i was to play with a lil site for "fediverse classifieds" that advertised different skillshare options what do u think the categories are

[mycrowgirl@flipping.rocks]

@inherentlee that’s what subheaders are for 🤪 @nev

@inherentlee Scientific paper* editing, particularly for non-native English speakers if it would help them avoid the use of AI. In field-ish is obviously better, but I can probably do a decent job on most of chemistry & biology. I've done beta/proofing for fiction too, but that's much more personal style preference oriented and also I don't like getting side-swiped with unexpected sex scene in a "general" rated fic, so I'd probably be more selective in taking those projects on.

*we don't have too many junior folks around here, but this includes papers and things for internal advancement like qualifying exams if they can give me a copy of guidelines and maybe some example of what a good one in their department was

@SRLevine hm heard! i think the literature/writing/editing category is appropriate there though i am still trying to figure out the ideal name for that one. i think i need all 3 words which honestly is bugging me because a lot of other categories are two words

@mycrowgirl @inherentlee @nev

# Megafauna
## charismatic
## uncharismatic

@ranjit @inherentlee after all, kittens don’t wear pants!

[ranjit@friend.camp]

@Moss the two top categories in your taxonomy:

# Things that wear pants
# Things that don't wear pants

[sodamnqueer@sunny.garden]

@inherentlee I like those categories a lot (I'd include home improvement with DIY since there are some things that are kinda DIY but I think people think of as home improvement and not DIY if that makes sense).

I think this is an awesome idea and would be a super cool thing to have exist (and would deff participate myself!)

[moss@beige.party]

@ranjit I mean, that would usefully separate categories like “mechanical repair” from “interpersonal skills”.

[inherentlee@flipping.rocks]

@sodamnqueer heard re: home improvement!

[nev@flipping.rocks]

@inherentlee yeah, might be too in-jokey

[inherentlee@flipping.rocks]

@nev @mycrowgirl 's idea of subheaders might do it tho! i think they add some nice levity

[sodamnqueer@sunny.garden]

@inherentlee I know it is all kind of learning/teaching, but maybe 1 on 1 education as in like...I've done sessions for people professionally for various queer topic learning/guidance for both allies and queer people looking to learn more about their own/other queer communities, and I know fedi has a ton of people who could offer that on differen axis of disenfranchisement and identity

[jimfl@hachyderm.io]

@inherentlee @Moss This reminds me of the book about linguistic categories by George Lakoff: Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things

@inherentlee

You might start really big with something like:
Information
- Help
- Guides
Stuff
- Commerce
- Free

Then be sure to have tags/required questions/something for things like:
- Digital
- By Mail
- In person; location required

@inherentlee LOL! but I'm neurospicy! I have to share! All the things!

[angelfeast@blorbo.social]

@inherentlee do you think "sensitivity readers" would go under the literature category or the interpersonal category?
