Image of text - dialogue between Maggie and Manjula and Latria about care work, and the choices freelancers have to make re providing care vs working
Image of text - chat transcript of Manjula Martin discussing ways in which she could have made more money from her writing work but didn’t because “the thought of doing that honestly just kind of made me want to die”
In today’s Scratch newsletter, we’re talking $$$ as self-employed writers — income, expenses, debt, care work, insurance, day jobs, exhaustion, and the unquantifiable ways in which we feed our hearts: www.talkscratch.com/the-group-ch...

KURT VONNEGUT: Oh, she says well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And, see some great looking babes. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And, and ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know... And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And, what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And, we're not supposed to dance at all anymore.

If they want me back they have to go fully Woke 2, sorry. Whole hog. I gotta be able to get an abortion there
This is an incredible team and project and I have never subscribed to anything so fast. Remember a few days ago when everyone was like "support independent media"?? Now is your chance to support and read really thoughtful writing about how culture workers live & make things in this economy.
Today in good news: Scratch is back!

BREAKING: A push to name one of Chicago’s snowplows “Abolish ICE,” clearly linking the humorous pun to efforts to oppose President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort, won the city’s annual snowplow naming contest, officials announced. @wttw.bsky.social
"is there a technology the left is excited about"

very difficult to continue labor on my Great Works when pages keeps autocorrecting the name of the Villainess from "una" to "tuna"
"If a reader can understand a novel character’s want and the gravity of that want—what if feels like to be in that specific wanting body and mind—then they will catch some of that feeling themselves from the text, in the way that when you watch someone play sports, a tiny part of your brain is releasing sports endorphins into you too. If there is a material rather than spiritual substrate of empathy, this is it: Seeing pain we echo pain, seeing joy we echo joy. If a book can make you understand a character’s wants, you’ll want them a little bit too, and you’ll follow the winding path of words to see what comes of it. "
"If a book can make you understand a character’s wants, you’ll want them a little bit too, and you’ll follow the winding path of words to see what comes of it." will be thinking about this @jeannethornton.bsky.social interview probably forever www.publicbooks.org/conjuring-an...

okay i just finished this and 1. it is a masterpiece 2. i loved every minute until the final 50 pages and now i hate it 3. framing the jesuits as Naive Cultural Misunderstanders in the colonization of the americas is an unhinged choice 4. definitely a great argument for veganism though
