Constantly find yourself looking for fresh "work music?" Bored with your current library of lofi beats and/or classical playlists?
I put together a massive vocal-free playlist for writing (and spent way too long on it not to share):
Ch-ch-check it out: open.spotify.com/playlist/1x…

I don’t understand the eager desire to remove humans from human artistic expression, which looks at art and positions humans as an inefficiency to remove from it. It speaks to a contempt for both art and humanity, which would reduce both to commodities.
Sending out the SEO bat signal re: moving a blog (with hundreds of posts) away from a subdomain.
ex: blog.site.com > site.com/blog
Seems like a situation where there are a lot of horror stories. Looking for any tips, guides, how not to break everything lol
@taylorannberg @djthewriter @alexjyork Tagging because y'all were super helpful w/ my last annual SEO question (also hi! open to DMs if you have any insight about this - haven't found many super actionable resources)

Today and every day, we remember the 49 angels we lost seven years ago.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Andy Rourke after a lengthy illness with pancreatic cancer.
Andy will be remembered as a kind and beautiful soul by those who knew him and as a supremely gifted musician by music fans.
We request privacy at this sad time
It's wild how many writers do this but not all that surprising. The SIX FIGURE FREELANCER crowd almost ~always~ recommends outsourcing after hitting a certain client threshold. It's like a milestone.
Freelancers? Operating as agencies? It's more likely than you'd think.
Five (5) times in the past week I've run into instances of competing blogs explicitly using examples from our posts.
I know there's no real recourse or accountability and it's a gray area with blogging/SEO. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" but it's still annoying.
These are very specific examples of social media interactions, niche influencers, etc. Not a coincidence. I understand why these examples get stolen because yeah, they're difficult to find.

On this day 40 years ago, the biggest selling 12" single of all time, Blue Monday was released on Factory Records.

Evergreen tweet.
I imagine health insurance is the most significant barrier to entry for freelancers (in the US at least) that the "QUIT YOUR 9-to-5" crowd rarely talks about.
And when they do, they reveal how totally out of touch they are.
Hard to buy into the "THIS is the game-changer" hype re: AI/search when it's being pushed by the same people that earnestly believed paying $1,000+ for a pixelated avatar of Lanky Kong was "the future of ecommerce" less than a year ago. Maybe it's apples and oranges but still.
I don’t know, man. The way that these AI content tools market themselves is repellent to me as a writer.
WRITE 10x FASTER WITHOUT SACRIFICING QUALITY yeah sure good luck with lmao
oh and o7 to all the editors and content marketing managers entering this brave new world of writers passing off AI content as original work lol
