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.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 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.

Beck and I will be moving soon (good reasons)! Moving is expensive (bleh, bad)! We're both still currently unemployed which doesn't help. So, if you'd like to hire me and can pay in November, I'll write whatever you want (basically)! 👍 I can't take on more editing work at the moment tho.
