A hundred percent, but the fact remains that journalists have a very hard time supporting themselves in their profession. A job that is critical (when done well) to an informed public.
It must be depressing knowing you could just take a TypeScript React bootcamp and probably double salary in a year. Like, journos have an important job. It’s just not lucrative, despite its value to people/society.
I think you touch it to different things and see what happens, if I remember my absurdists.
Just do your best.
That’s the petrolarchy speaking 😞
First time with one of these? They are pretty cool, yeah
Is this a Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell reference? https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Jonathan_Strange_and_Mr._Norrell

I’ve taken to saying “uhhhhhh” with a stupid expression on my face until I’ve processed the sounds / their meaning

I felt this way with instagram. My phone can barely handle the web app and you can’t even replay the video without an account. Truly garbage UX
Haha yeah, I remember we disagreed on something, but now I can’t remember what. Can’t have been too fundamental, anyway – see you around!
I think most people see these illustrations online these days
That sounds very healthy.
Oh hey sugar_in_your_tea - I’m starting to recognize you from a couple of other comment threads in this community :)
I was thinking illustrator, like those who draw the often semi abstract drawing what go with magazine articles.
Have you heard of synarchy? An actually secret society controls the world via so-called secret societies (the ones you’ve probably heard of), even those with seemingly contradictory goals. Of course they’re so secretive that you’ve never heard of them.
Just kidding I’m paraphrasing a conspiracy nut from Foucault’s Pendulum (good read, but very Noun heavy).___
Gross lol
