The story is delightful on many levels but perhaps most because this is the first quote from a scientist on the team: “I just hope when we poke it, something doesn’t decide to come out,” one scientist said. “It’s like the beginning of a horror movie.” theguardian.com/environment/…

I hope more writers will, in the current conditions, be open about the beautiful irrationality at the heart of writing. You can box it in by talking about word counts and whatnot, but at the heart is a raging fire and *being lost* and a deep disrespect for cordial efficiency.

Anyone have a recent story about negotiating a good deal on rent? It can be about getting a new place or avoiding a big increase at your current place or whatever. Curious to hear what you did & how it worked out. DM me if you've got something to share. Thx! #amwriting #rent

Be wary of "full-time freelance" roles. Sometimes I see people posting freelance roles that they say are 40hrs/full-time...and that's a job. That's a job without benefits.

"More than a quarter of Goldman’s card loans have gone to customers with FICO scores below 660, according to filings. That could expose the bank to higher losses if the economy experiences a downturn, as is expected by many forecasters." cnbc.com/2022/09/12/goldmans…
