From what i've heard they're about to enter a one week on one week off cycle, but it's still quite risky.

(they've been smart to carve out an exemption for healthcare and education, given that the average salary of a nurse is 37k - at a band where they require five years' experience. It's like they know that 41k doesn't work really)

The Independent has made this the headline item because it's the obvious dog whistle, but the real challenge for migrants is going to be either £41.7k or the going rate "whichever is highest." There are entire industries - including creative - that this knocks out entirely.

This right here. I love my art friends and art community, but I'm also trying to run a business as a freelancer/selling products and I need the reach! Every time we scatter to different platforms it's a little harder to exist as a working artist whose primary visibility is only online.

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.
