Prospective college students: the new FAFSA form is open to all students and families as it enters the last phase of beta testing. Your input is valuable and will help prevent the kind of errors that affected last year’s FAFSA rollout.

there's no algo in the blue sky so we repost and we promote our work. My next newsletter will go out tomorrow, so there's time to join the Sparky's List bandwagon, a thing all the cool kids are doing.
Gonna take advantage of pinned posts to remind everyone that newsletter subscriptions are the main thing that actually keep my work sustainable, and if you enjoy the cartoon you should sign up (it's incredibly cheap)! thismodernworld.com/subscriptions
