Out last week, my latest for Star Wars is a little fun walk through some of the best lightsaber duels across a variety of galactic time periods and media!
I couldn't cover every single duel, so this isn't a comprehensive list by any means. 💫🫶

lrt: I sure hate that we live in a world where a single job doesn't guarantee you can afford to cover basic expenses. And even having multiple side gigs doesn't guarantee that either. Like it's not some fun, whimsical thing we're doing to have fun or make extra money.

A little sad at how much generational analysis is just “look at these self-starters who know exactly how to work seven jobs to afford a carrot”

More young Americans are taking on side gigs to explore their passions and make extra cash while navigating an unstable job market

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

josephine montilyet as the nine of pentacles - 2/3 of my postcards for @dragonageannual.art 💛🍇✨ #dragonage #josephinemontilyet #dragonageannual
![painted tarot card of lady josephine montilyet, in a fancy dress version of her original inquisition outfit, hair down and tumbling past her shoulders. she is standing poised and smiling, one hand wearing a hawker's glove and lifted up so that a messenger raven can perch on it with a small message in its beak. the other is lowered to cup a bundle of grapes. she is stood surrounded by the grapes of her family's vineyard, the montilyet estate far in the distance behind her. a circle of flowery golden detail frames her head, similar to her in-game tarot card, and the sky is gold with golden clouds.

Sure is a terrible time to be totally burnt out on copy/content writing in general but also be actively trying to move out of the industry in this broken job market. 🥴

From @kevincortez.huffpost.com's first for Mothership: "To play cozy games is to relax. To play cozy games is also to work. It’s a paradox."

Why do cozy games keep asking us to work, and why does it feel so good?
Developers of games like A Short Hike and Tiny Bookshop weigh in on why even labor feels nice in their games.

it's weird to see people complain about Bad Bunny's performance being in Spanish when there have been entire operas in Italian, German and French performed in the US and the top song of the last two years, K-Pop Demon Hunters' "Golden" has lyrics in Korean

If you don’t cover culture, you’re not a newspaper.

I have made... a mistake. Each auction lot had 8-12 photos, so I assumed that was the number of pieces in the lot.
It was merely a sample. Each lot contains 100-ish pieces.
I won three lots.

Freelance rates are also abysmal and haven't changed much in 20+ years, which means they're even worse today. Not only are you not being paid enough, but you don't have the support of an organization behind you. In-depth reporting is much harder as a freelancer.
A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.
