It should be illegal to have to go into work when you've just woken up from a highly specific stress dream about that day at work. They should just pay you and call it done

I missed the cutoff for health insurance through SFUSD by exactly four working days last year. I am about to have to grovel to an UNBELIEVABLE degree trying to get them to flex on that, because the alternative may well be "100% of average monthly income is health insurance and rent" or worse
Reminder that, unless a creative freelancer has a spouse with a day job that offers health insurance, they likely have an ACA plan. And with the hits to creative industries the past few years, I'm guessing many qualify for subsidies.
Related reminder that comic creators are freelancers.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Football teams are a type of highly territorial apex predator. While smaller predators like baseball teams can coexist in small groups in a narrow geographical range, football teams require large swaths of land as their sole hunting grounds. It is not known how or when they meet others to reproduce

Oh my god, imagine if it took 48 WHOLE HOURS to write a song 💀 to say nothing of the credits! My GOD, think of the credits
An algorithm beat me this morning, because seeing this (from the Suno Studio FB group) got me "engaged", and it's bleak out there. I did like one guy dispensing the advice that, until you've made 6000-7000 ai songs, you don't know what separates quality from novelty.

I see James Watson has died.
What did Watson discover?
Rosalind Franklin's lab notes.
Only we spell it 'S-T-E-A-L' these days.

Every day I say new sentences, and several of today's have been "please stop Tuvan throat singing in class" and "we're not going to have any Backstreet Boys singalongs right now, okay?"
