genuinely starting to feel like the only way to make a living in this country is to call someone a racial slur and crowdfund from garbage people.

I went to film school. I have an MFA and multiple scripts and a novel. @JeffBezos I'll take half of that $75m, and I bet I can beat Melania's opening weekend box office and the rotten tomatoes score.

Ideally I'd find something better and they'd come back to make me full time and I could tell 'em to fuck off... but the market just got flooded with even more competition and I'm afraid I'll be staring down six months of searching again.

Universal basic income please.

I can't bitch about my job search on linkedin for fear of impacting my job search, so I guess I'll be complaining here.

First of all, I was assured (multiple times because I was paranoid) that I would be made full time before my temp gig ended. I didn't look for 2 months. I was not made full time.

Not a great look to lay off tons of people at WaPo less than a week after releasing the Melania "movie" that cost Bezos and co. $75 m.

My post was about recruiters, and IMMEDIATELY two fake recruiterbots reacted to it. Both had no activity until an hour ago, both have single digit connections and followers, but only one has the silliest name in town. Eustice, Louisiana, is a town, not a recruiter.

I should've known posting ABOUT recruiters on linkedin would get me tons of fake recruiter attention, but Eustice M. Louisiana? Are you even trying, bots?
