It's truly exhausting to be looking for freelance gigs/clients or part/full time work right now.
Big girl whatever energy at everything right now.

“So the plan is to replace all their jobs with AI”

Gen Z Shoppers Aren’t Spending Like Retailers Need Them To
More than other generations, 20-somethings are tightening their holiday-season budgets because of economic pressures.

So like should I consider pitching a story on why LinkedIn is currently stuffed to the gills with job listings that are being posted by AI-oriented staffing firms orrrr?
This is like the 3rd email I've gotten for my own LI account that's nothing but these postings.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

The way I yearn to go to a journalism conference in person! Or at the very least meet literally any of the friends I've made through journalism in person!
Something something I want to hang out in person with friends and I also want to learn and grow as a writer.

as a person who reads a lot and has been yelling for months about writers who don’t read, I wholeheartedly endorse Casey’s excellent advice—this bit especially. go to bookstores! go to the LIBRARY!

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

I literally have so much free time right now. Because even with so much of my time being dedicated to cold outreach/job apps/etc, I can only do that for so long before my brain starts to fry itself.

I feel like I've always been really comfortable with the self marketing needed to freelance. But there is like this feeling of embarrassment I've been feeling throughout this year every time I make posts or do outreach lol.

Mine went up like $500 and I had to cancel my health insurance. I was barely even using it because the coverage wasn't great and the copays were unaffordable lol. So yeah, really hoping I don't need health insurance anytime soon.
KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action.
Mine went from $395→ $821. What happened for you?

freelancing in 2025 feels so different than even a few years ago. healthcare premiums are so expensive, being disabled is so expensive. money worries grind down the ability to think creatively or engage deeply with the world outside day to day survival
