The American Philosophical Society (APS) Museum is seeking an intern who owns or leases a VW Beetle hard-top.
The intern will drive the vehicle in conjunction with a 2-week (October 12-24, 2009) art performance titled The Voyage of the Beetle and will work with an experienced performance artist, who will stage guerilla performances throughout Philadelphia.
Requirements:
Availability of up to 8 hours per day during the performance run.
Must own/lease a VW Beetle hard-top. Vehicle should be properly insured with valid tags.
Must be willing to have lightweight giant beetle affixed to roof of car during performances (will not damage car -attached via removable roof rack).
Compensation: Generous stipend and reimbursement for fuel/parking costs acquired during performances.
If only I wasn't already 'employed'.
This is one of the most fucked up things I have ever heard that is currently in practice: It is still legal in nine states for insurers to reject applicants who are survivors of domestic violence, citing the history of domestic violence as a pre-existing condition. Arkansas, Idaho, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Wyoming (and also the District of Columbia).

Several Things:
1) It is too bad about VISTA and all and not being able to do certain things. I am especially frustrated because I want to volunteer with Planned Parenthood but can't because it's mostly lobbying stuff. I'm pretty sure this is why they put time limits on AmeriCorps terms.
2) About domestic violence: That is horrible, though, sadly, not surprising. It's already an underreported crime and knowing that you could lose your insurance for it probably makes it even more underreported.
3) Yes, I heard on NPR this morning that PA still hasn't passed a budget. The way things are looking, it looks like a lot more than library funding will be cut.
