In past years, I’d done the whole “pitch a ton of media publications” approach and found it’s just not an efficient method for a working mom. I’ve specifically been cultivating relationships with a smaller number of pubs to maximize my output and thus, income

Now I have to go back to that inefficient time suck approach to have any hope of maintaining autonomy as a sole proprietor and avoid playing for additional childcare by shifting to W2 status somewhere

Not only am I not financially able to afford full-time childcare, I don’t even want it! My son is on the autism spectrum and is about to start 15 hours/week of therapy. Add that to the PT preschool he attends and I WANT to spend time with him doing unstructured activities.

Frankly, I don’t want the “help” that
#AB5 is shoving down my throat, strangling me in the process. Give me some support for my alternative needs child instead and maybe affordable healthcare for self-employed workers.Prikaži ovu nit -
In the meantime, throw AB5 in the toilet where it belongs & let me hustle in peace so I can continue providing for my family & spending time with my son instead of sticking him in unaffordable daycare so I can work some shit job that pays less than what I’ve negotiated for myself

I’m not just sad about my lost income (although I clearly am). This column in particular allows me to tell important stories that aren’t getting covered elsewhere.

Zero other outlets had covered these movements, people & organizations before me (or even after, half the time). Having a weekly column allows me to provide crucial and timely content relating to
#sdbeer. Removing half of my opportunities to pursue these stories is devastatingPrikaži ovu nit
