I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Hey, remember this? So we were able to avoid repossession, but she's still one payment behind, *and* the registration is expired. So I am once again asking for help/donations. If by some miracle we can raise $450 in the next few days, things should be golden.
Fiancé just told me her car will be repossessed unless she can get money for a payment together tomorrow. So if anyone would be willing to help, please do: ko-fi.com/seannb
Thank you in advance. I genuinely don't know what we would do without it.

I’m an artist, designer and illustrator. I’ve lost work to AI. I know dozens of others in my industry that have too. Some have lost their entire living. As far as I’m concerned, anyone using genAI is a thief and a charlatan.

I recently found had more time on my hands than I had planned. I'm an ESL teacher and many students were on vacation.
Don't get me wrong, time is a wonderful thing to have as a writer, but as the saying goes, time is money.
I'd appreciate some likes and reposts to help me out. 🧵

today I opened my @economist.com app to find an article written by the architect of project 2025. without any fact checking he was given the stage to explain, why only D.J. Trump could save America.
and that’s why I cancelled my subscription today.

Still reading this one, but I have to say what Seann has done here is a goddamn gift. Suburban hypocrisy and alienation in a world that depends on rigid conformity to avoid falling apart at the seams. It's pulpy and gross, but told with so much empathy and heart. Seann is an incredible storyteller.
