Skillshare Everywhere!
We’re super excited to let you know that Skillshare is now open across the glorious U.S. of A.
Help Jumpstart Your City
1. List a class you can teach. Skillshare is a community marketplace where anyone — including you — can teach to their peers.
2. Let 5 people know that you want them to teach. There are incredibly knowledgeable people in your own community, and they need to know that you want them to share their skills!
Thank you again for joining the learning revolution and helping bring Skillshare to your city. Let’s increase the passion index together!
We want to be international soon, too! As soon as we’ve ensured that international payments are secure and our lawyers give us the green light, we’ll be open globally - hang tight! If you’re in the U.S. and don’t see your city listed, we’ll help you find a class in the closest, major hub.

The trick to doing it the accidental Chinese hipster way is to reaallly look like you don’t care and that you truthfully do not feel that your image has been denigrated even slightly.
An anonymous submitter who I will call “Billie Dee” sent this to me from Flushing, New York, one of the happiest places on Earth. In the wintertime you can go there and get a paper bag of little chestnuts roasted in a hot coal machine. More importantly, any time you go you can eat your way to Heaven.
