Real talk: I paid my September rent and COBRA today, which left about $200 in my account. I currently have $5700 in freelance work in the queue; none of that will hit my account until at least October. I'll be relying entirely on this Spotfund to get though September and pay October rent & COBRA.

Another day, another kick in the teeth for indie creators. The EU's new EPR, or PPWR, or whatever they call it, is a death sentence for thousands of small businesses. These costs and paperwork mean nothing to the likes of Amazon, all it does is punish small creators www.change.org/p/stop-destr...

The cool thing about being a creator on the internet these days, is that everything you put out gets accused of being AI I mean, I guess it's better that people are on the look out for it and trying to avoid it, but it is still insulting. I like em dashes damn it
