A fun ADHD thing is that recent diagnosis means you'll be REALLY INTO finding out everything about it for a while, until you abruptly lose interest, stop thinking and reading about it and live your life as before (but possibly on meds)...

*CAT POST ALERT* I need some advice on flying a cat over from Cairo to London for adoption. NONE of the Egyptian cat charities are responding, even though I know they fly kitties out in batches to save on cost. Anyone have experience, contacts, advice? Asking for this little guy Arslan!

How does it remove flexibility? (Honest q) Looks like AI isn't "taking our jobs" but creating a Hunger Games style automated market for crap jobs we don't want, but still need to survive 😶

Gig work has always been around for lots of people, it was just cash-in-hand and now it's increasingly formalised. Lots of low-earners avoid perm contracts like the plague because it's overtaxed and they're left with too little. (A solution is a much higher personal allowance.)

Isabel Serval @traversingfutures.bsky.social · 17/12/2024
FYI I just signed up to see what the jobs are like, and these apps are carnage. Most gigs have hundreds of applicants for a single role. This is a sign of much bigger change to come...

Isabel Serval @traversingfutures.bsky.social · 17/12/2024
This makes a lot of sense. To your comment on freelancers paying less tax - well, low-wage slaves are highly overtaxed and barely scraping by. That system needs fixing, this is a fix.

My idea was to find a community of futures people here to exchange ideas. But it seems this platform is a wormhole to 2009, attempting to hijack my attention with tedious food pics, terrible music tastes and passing thoughts nobody asked for. I sincerely hope #Bluesky grows out of this asap.

Guys, do you post #longform articles anywhere, eg Medium? and so you have opinions on any of these platforms? To me they all seem a little pointless but still better than posting 500+ word ramblings in LinkedIn posts.
