We hope it'll also allow us to publish our upcoming issue, largely focused on #ReproductiveHealth, if the board allows it. We continue to seek larger donors, grants & benefactors that will help us sustain the publication long term. Thanks again and please keep sharing the link.❤️

Our understanding is $200K would allow us to keep the doors open for 1-2 months and give us enough runway to make a very compelling argument to the board that the publication has intrinsic value. (con'td)

does it sound normal or weird to you if someone adds a plural/possessive ‘s’ at the end of a store name thst doesn’t have one (i.e., “I’m going to Aldi’s, need anything?”) and where did you grow up

really important to note that the AI has:
- misidentified pears as apples
- created bananas and bread where there are none
- produced 1 usable recipe based on this fridge, which includes 2 ingredients found in the fridge. the recipe is eggs and cheese twitter.com/sudu_cb/status…

oh man this is what totally fucked me over last year. had everything planned out and then some, and then the bottom fell out. the woman signed the email cancelling the contract with a smiley face

it would be cool if when a freelancer has a major contract cancelled they could go on unemployment or something, hypothetically
hey if you source a story from a newsletter...like say mine...maybe toss a link in there instead of attributing it to "eagle-eyed fans"? links are free! heath insurance is not! thank you <3

6. dried herbs and spices go stale and eventually stop tasting like much, or at least as good as they did when they were fresh. (i literally just finished writing a book about this.) buy the smallest quantity of herbs and spices you can so they don't go stale before you use them!

4. bay leaves don't have to be "fresh" ie straight from the tree to not be stale. they can be dried and still good and flavorful, or dried and stale

3. this is detrimental to people wanting to learn how to cook! which is fine if that is not your thing, but it is quite clearly my thing, so that is what i am gonna talk about here

2. i do think there is a big chunk of bay leaf discourse that is not making the "haha everyone has stale bay leaves in their cabinet" joke but literally the "bay leaves don't taste like anything" joke

Today I'm in making the case for why byline counting is essential to improving newsroom diversity -- the causes of journalism's homogeneity are many, but tracking bylines can at least prevent news leaders from feigning ignorance about the problem.
