Trying not to think about the fact I've only written like 5 pieces in the last year lol. I feel like I barely count as a journalist anymore.

jess is right! it’s worse than ever for women in this field, and it was still pretty bad at our peak. im one of the lucky freelancers who has regular work (probably work more than i did at polygon!), and it’s still not a livable amount of pay. it’s pushing important and skilled women out.

I hope the barista who told me "love your hair! I feel like orange can be so hard to pull off, but you do it so well" knows I'll be riding the high of that compliment literally all week. 😌

One thing I've noticed is that upstart worker-owned places are trying our best to pay as much as possible, but because none of us have millions is still far from how much we want to pay. But the rates at the big media companies haven't budged or gotten worse objectivejournalism.org/2026/09/free...

Freelance journalism rates have barely changed since 2000

New data from the National Writers Union offers a glimpse into a bleak picture of decades-long wage stagnation in freelance journalism.

Webtoons is a brand name. People have been calling the medium "webcomics" for about thirty or so years now. I think this distinction is important.

context. sentiment. inferences. People seriously cannot do these things anymore. That’s why they angrily demand you spell out every joke, every reference, super duper promise you mean something only this one prescribed way. They cannot do it for themselves or tolerate the any ambiguity.

illustration from "The Vampire's Tale Tarot" for the Page of Swords card. A young vampire sits in a graveyard holding a little dagger, surrounded by books. Behind her a tomb opens and decayed fingers can be seen poking out. A raven and a black butterfly are perched on the grave.

I think a real issue with any advice from folks in the media industry (myself included) on how to deal with the ongoing mass layoffs, Google Zero, misinfo, and AI tools is how much of the media ecosystem in which people built their careers no longer exists, especially for journalists of color.

I think I gotta go back to setting aside specific brainstorming time for pitches and just make it a habit again, even if the ideas end up being shit. I genuinely want to be writing pieces again so badly. The lack of freelance budgets remains a massive deterrent/block though so like idk. Sigh.

Trying to loosely plan for SWCA and would it be insane to fly into LAX and plan to fly out of San Francisco like a week later in April 2027? Like round trip would make the most sense out of one airport but also consider I have friends in SF and other things I want to see.
