If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

Applied for a job online. This one shared an AI Resume Summary of the CV I uploaded and—just complete gibberish. More in common with a William S Burroughs novel than anything I wrote.
If that’s what HR is relying on then no wonder none of us are getting hired.

As technologists, it has never been more important to hold this feeling and focus our efforts on recapturing what’s been lost.
Acknowledge that this is a labor issue. AI is capital’s organized effort to wrest all remaining power from our hands. Educate yourself, get organized, and go build.

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

Free PR tip: your fancy email backgrounds may look cool, but they can often end up like this.
Stick to plain colours. Save the flashy stuff for including in the main body of the email, not the background.

This is the greatest
I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
