Hey, so another piece of advice for people who are S-Corps: there is a company called Opolis that acts as your employer of record and will provide health insurance and other benefits.

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

#Orycon this weekend was a lot of fun. Portland was gorgeous. The coolest idea I took from a panel was a future where AI is trained by non-human sources like fungi and building spacecraft powered by spore engines. #oregon #sciencefiction

Why can't all lthis AI inteference in my email services tell me when I skip words in a sentence, rather trying to tell me what to say? I probably forgot a word in this post.
