PSA: It's not typical for the same writer to update these lists. It's usually an updates editor hired to update articles in batches, or another editor or freelance writer. Just a heads up that it's pretty much always a waste of time, imo.

If you’re a Canadian hockey fan and you’re NOT cheering for the Oilers right now… what’re you doing?!
Who cares about which team breaks the curse. We’re watching the greatest player of our generation will his team back from an 0-3 deficit. This would be the greatest comeback in the history of sports.
Unless you’re a Flames fan… Go Oilers.
When ppl talk about work-life balance, it's tricky for me, as with anyone who has neuro-divergence or chronic pain, etc. because everything feels like work. And when life gets extra stressful, work feels impossible. "Balance" is hard to define or even imagine a lot of the time.

To all of you freelance writers who have ever been gaslit by an editor abt an issue that was mostly abt their workflow and had little to do with you: I just want you to know that you shouldn't have been blamed. You were not wrong.
That's all ❤️

Here are things you can say that are better than completely ghosting a freelancer:
• "We found somebody else."
• "Our priorities changed."
• "Our budget was cut."
• "We need to wait."
• "I'm swamped right now."
• "Oops nevermind LOL."
• Anything. Literally ANYTHING.

If you complete a service for a pub with an editor who neglected to send a contract and they publish it, but don't pay on time, then come at you to sign a contract before they'll pay, do you have to sign? My gut says no.... #legal #freelancers #contracts

Saying it again (and again and again and again!)
It's awesome editors send out pitch calls. Really. It's less awesome with NO clue at all what the pay rate is. None. I don't walk into a store and buy things without knowing the price. Why pitch w/o any clue of the pay rate?
Question: How "normal" is it for employees to purchase things on behalf of their company/employee on a regular basis and then have to submit documents for reimbursement? I'm talking about office supplies, etc.
I'm testing cross-trainers for an article round-up on Men's Journal, and I need a rep from lululemon (the one I have is not responding) and one more pair of cross-trainers to include in the piece. I already have: Nike, Hoka, Reebok #journorequest #prrequest
