Every day Twitter gets closer and closer to dying. And every day a new social media network appears and insists that it’s going to take Twitter’s place. We all flock to it, park our user names and wait to see if maybe this one will stick. In the meantime, I feel like bringing back individual…
I am Annoyed
After *weeks* of silence from my anchor client, I finally got an email! It says “oh yeah, hi! So we aren’t going to have any work for at least the first quarter of this year and don’t know if that will change after that, but as soon as we want more content, you’ll be expected…
New Design, Who Dis?
Do you remember the last time I updated my site’s design? Because I don’t. That’s why I decided to play around with my theme today. And by “play” I mean, well… my tagline doesn’t come from nowhere, y’know? So yeah–currently my sidebar is a mess, but I like my new header design (I took the…
A Day in the Freelance Life
Client: Can you do this right now because I need to get this done right now or even like yesterday so you should call me so we can get this started immediately right RIGHT now. Like seriously. NOW. It is the most urgentest project that ever urgented urgently. Me: Sure thing. Here’s an invoice for…
Ugh.
I’m not going to lie. I’m having a rough time. I don’t know if it’s because this is when I usually have So Many Hormones or because I’m tired or I haven’t been eating well or because I’m stressed about money or because because because of all of the things. It’s probably all of that…
Open For Business?
Oregon is officially “open for business.” Governor Kate Brown has lifted all of the state-mandated Covid-19 restrictions and Oregonians are now free to flock together in large groups, maskless, wherever they want for however long they want while they do whatever they want. Of course, because most of the people in Oregon are good, kind…
We Need to Talk About the Defense Bill Veto
As promised, Donald Trump has vetoed the Defense Spending Bill. For those who don’t spend their days happily digging through policy and nomming on the legalese, the Defense Spending Bill is, basically, the bill that pays for the Military and all of its related…stuff. It pays for everything from paying the wages of the people…
Sometimes It Gets Overwhelming
The original idea was to cover the Democratic and the Republican National Conventions. And all of Trump’s “events.” And all of the Biden and Harris events. Because I am tough, goddammit. I can totally handle all of the political shenaniganry. No sweat! Like water off a tarp, or however the saying goes. I mean, I…
Plans are for Other People
I had a plan. I was going to go to bed at a reasonable time, get a good night’s sleep, get up at a normal hour, eat a real food for breakfast and then get some paying work done before my day turned into Politicalpalooza. It was a good plan and I liked it a…
Joe has made his decision!
What it is is anybody’s guess. So. Trump is scheduled to do a press briefing at 5:30 (EST) today. Joe Biden has reportedly made his decision about his VP and that announcement could drop at literally any second. If Biden really wants to troll Trump, he should wait until the moment Trump begins the briefing….
