interns need a living wage.

Interns need a living wage. To be clear, this is not just to shame orgs that don’t pay but also to highlight the rampant exploitation of early career folx.

this has to be a joke. there's no educational opportunities listed and it's all just the shit jobs that no one else wants to do. a robot could do what they want. they don't care about this intern as a living, breathing, human being. #internships
