#AskFedi Should I pay £15-25, greater, or a negotiable range for a logo, wordmark, and basic branding for a volunteer community group?
I'm commissioning these for our volunteer-run free and open-source software group, and paying out of my own pocket. I set the price range to £15-£25, which is slightly above the lower end listed at https://www.fiverr.com/categories/graphics-design/creative-logo-design (though now I realise that lists only minimum prices). Perhaps unwisely I said the price range is non-negotiable to avoid upsetting people via unnecessary back-and-forth.
*Most similar commissions on #opensourcedesign don't pay anything.*
Someone on Fedi said that price range would "offend plenty" and that I may as well make it free of charge (I won't do that instantly!). I'm not going to trust them immediately because the post was somewhat passive aggressive and unevidenced for community group logos.

Fri. Aug. 14, 2026: Keeping the Plates Spinning

Waxing Moon
Pluto, Neptune, Saturn, Chiron Retrograde
Foggy and warm
Here we are, Friday, the end of another week.
Plenty happened on the larger fronts that I haven’t discussed this week, but it doesn’t mean I’m not aware of it. I’m both angry and heartbroken about the Lindsay Clancy case. She was failed on so many levels, especially by her husband. I want Congress to stop the reckless destruction of natural resources and the monuments that belong to the people, and to step in with the issues regarding our troops. When sailors are jumping overboard because the conditions on a naval ship are so horrendous, ignoring it is not an option. Our military has a budget of over a trillion dollars. If they’re not feeding our soldiers, where’s that money going? Which contractors are lining their pockets? And now the frozen water goons get to use taser gloves on anyone they want? No. Just no.
Yesterday morning, I was out the door on time and drove up the hill past the hospital to the Clarksburg Library. I don’t know Clarksburg well. It’s very pretty. I had a great meeting with the library director there, and we sorted out details about the author panel I’m moderating, and tossed around ideas on how to build this event into a series of events.
Once the meeting was done, I headed back down the hill to the grocery store, where I did a medium-sized shop! I hadn’t really meal planned, so it was a case of what looked good and was in budget.
Went to my library to drop off and pick up books, including a huuuuuuge book about Lizzie Borden called PARALLEL LIVES, which is a social history of Fall River at the time. A social media acquaintance suggested it, and it sounds interesting. It’s a doorstop of a book. I’m looking forward to digging in. Ran a couple of other errands. Found the washi tape I needed to finish the collage.
Home, hauled everything up the stairs, put it away. Had another meeting, which meant I missed #FreelanceChat, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.
After lunch, I had to turn my attention to the ghostwriting, since I didn’t have a long session for it today, because of all the other commitments. Didn’t get as much done as I hoped, and am behind where I wanted to be for today, so I hope I can make up for it in today’s session. I kept being interrupted by other things that required immediate attention, so it was a bit like lurching through the writing session.
Decided not to pitch for a scriptwriting job, because I do not like the guy for whom I’d be writing. The show is a bit too much sensationalist skeeze for me. We would not get along.
Cooked dinner, freshened up, and headed out the door for the trustee meeting. I realized halfway down the block that I put on the wrong shoes for this walk. I then had a feeling, and paused to check my phone – yup, the meeting was cancelled. So I went back home, took a shower, and put on comfy clothes. I was grateful for the gift of a couple of hours, because I felt depleted.
I spent a bit of time in fish pose on the yoga bolster with the eye pillow, and Tessa nestled next to me on the mat, purring.
Day 4 of Legs Up the Wall pose before bedtime. Charlotte perches on the edge of the bed watching me, wondering what the heck I’m up to. I woke up twice in the night, did not look at the clock, and went back to sleep quickly. I got up just after 5 this morning, the usual time. Maybe a slight improvement?
Morning routine was fine. This morning, I am taking our ballots down to the ballot box at City Hall, mailing some paperwork on a different issue, and then working on the collage (which has to be submitted for consideration tomorrow), and hopefully a little bit on the play. Then, it’s all about the ghostwriting, trying to catch up to where I want to be.
Tomorrow is mostly about housework. I’ll work on the play, submit the collage, and probably not do much else. Sunday’s plan is to attend WAM’s reading of GORGEOUS down in Lenox. I also want to start reading the plays for the next literary committee session, and I have to get started on the books for the book review gig, so I can batch invoice next week and get paid by the end of it.
So off I go, to get started on the day! Have a great weekend, and we’ll catch up on the other side.

Thurs. Aug. 12, 2026: Morris Dancers in the Morning!
American Travelling Morrice, photo by Devon EllingtonWednesday, August 12, 2026
New Moon
Solar Eclipse
Pluto, Neptune, Saturn, Chiron Retrograde
Sunny and warm
Well, we’ve hit the new moon/solar eclipse that’s been causing people to fuss so much. My opinion? Find time to take a nap. Seriously, the best thing you can do during an eclipse is to enjoy it if you are where you can see it, or otherwise take a nap.
Yesterday morning, shortly after breakfast/morning chores, I headed out to Red Shirt Farm in Lanesboro. It’s about a 40-minute drive, and it was really lovely to be out and about. I got there early (of course), but got a prime parking spot. Why was I there? Because the American Travelling Morrice Dancers (a Morris dancing troupe) was going to perform.
I’d seen a traditional troupe in the UK many years ago, but I’ve never seen a troupe perform in the US, and I was eager to attend.
Since I was early, I got to sit on the porch and just be for a bit, which was lovely. When the farm store opened, I went in for a wander (and some coffee). The blueberries, Hudson plums, and peaches were so gorgeous I bought some, in addition to the coffee.
Chatted with other audience members as they gathered. A lot of people brought their kids (and all the kids were well-behaved, throughout). This troupe was much more easygoing than the UK counterparts, arriving piece-meal and setting up. In the UK, the troupe followed the strict traditions of being masked and anonymous, and coming into the space at full tilt.
This troupe has members from all over, and this is the 49th year it has toured. It tours different places each year, and the Berkshires were lucky enough to be part of the tour this year. One of the members is descended from the man who gave his name to one of the dances way back when!
They performed about 6 dances over a half hour, chatted with the audience and passed the hat. They are doing about 5-6 shows/day during their tour. Later shows yesterday were actually going to be at Windsor Lake and at Freight Yard Brewing here in North Adams. But I was glad I went down to Lanesboro and saw them there.
Stopped to pick up fixings for lunch on the way back, and we had a nice summer lunch (using up some more of the basil cream – we have a lot of basil cream; fortunately, it keeps well). And we had two of those luscious plums for dessert!
I’m really glad I went. It was a lovely experience.
After lunch, it was time to turn my attention back to the ghostwriting. I didn’t get as much done as I wanted, because of the time it took to research certain things, but the work I did was solid.
I managed to haul my posterior out the door on time and go to yoga. I was really glad I did. We had a good session of a little stretching, a lot of resting.
Home, heated up dinner, read and rested in the evening. Day 2 of Legs Up the Wall before bed. It’s supposed to realign sleep by Day 7, so we will see. I slept reasonably well, until Charlotte started fussing at me at 4, which is not something a yoga pose can fix.
Morning routine was fine. I need to send out some emails this morning, and put together some paperwork on various issues. The MA AG’s office sent me an acknowledgement of one of the complaints sent on behalf of my mother, where the company is trying to cheat her out of an account because it is small. They have given me next steps, so there’s that paperwork and some other paperwork on a different issue.
After breakfast, I will take out the garbage and do the household chores, then work on the collage and the play before switching over to the ghostwriting. This evening, I’m going to a friend’s talk up in Pownal, VT.
Bea has a new trick. Sometimes, when I’m scrolling on my phone (which I try not to do too much), she comes down for a cuddle, and I pet her with one hand and scroll with the other. She has started knocking the phone out of my hand and demanding my full attention, which makes sense. Not a problem. However, now, when I pick up the phone, she races over and knock it out of my hand, demanding attention. So, basically, if I want to do anything on my phone, I have to hide from the cat! Which is pretty funny, and a reminder not to spend too much time on the phone.
Have a good one!

Tues. Aug. 11, 2026: A Colorful, Creative Weekend

Dark Moon
Pluto, Neptune, Saturn, Chiron Retrograde
Cloudy, warm, humid
I hope you had a lovely weekend. You can read the Community Tarot Reading for the Week here.
It was hot and humid on Friday. I kept waiting for the promised storms. I got the ghostwriting assignment off my desk and onto theirs. I wrote and submitted a book review (there’s been hardly any work from that client lately). I approved the final proofs for “Gorgeous Mess” in the MIDNIGHT MOUSERS anthology, and finished the rest of the admin paperwork they needed.
I doubt I can get copies in time for the author fest in September, but I can probably have copies for the Boiler House reading in October.
It was hot and humid, and I was grateful for fans and coolers.
I cooked tuna steaks for dinner, and made basil cream to go with it (a recipe from Anna Pump’s cookbook SUMMER ON A PLATE). It was so good, and I can use the rest of the basil cream on sandwiches, in salads, and on other things. I used more basil than the recipe called for, but it was great. I used the whole bunch of regular basil from the CSA in the recipe.
I got my act after dinner, got dressed, slapped on some makeup, and trotted down to FutureLabs Gallery for the opening. Of course, it started raining as soon as I left the house, but I’d brought an umbrella for insurance. It was only sprinkling.
I ran into Andrew Fitch on the corner of Main & Eagle, where he was meeting potential voters. We had a good catch-up, and I assured him both my mom and I planned to vote for him. Because I do think he is the best person for this particular job at this particular moment.
The opening at FutureLabs was a lot of fun. I had some good conversations with people, and conversations for future shows. The co-founder is excited by two pieces we discussed, so I am shuffling what I place where, and work on when. The co-founder wants a controversial piece I want to create for the January show, so that will be my focus for that show.
Came home to discover our mail-in ballots. Yay!
I used the coolers overnight in my room on timers, and kept waking up to turn them back on when they timed out. At 3:30 on Saturday morning, I moved to the couch and turned on the ceiling fan and the fan my friend sent me, and Tessa rolled over like, “oh, thank goodness!”
I got up around 5 and started the morning routine. Friday was Day 350 of the morning free-write. This past week, ideas have come in batches like cookies, and it’s good to have one place to put them, so I don’t misplace my notes.
I did some housework, tended the plants, and took out the garbage. I emailed the curator and the gallery founder with vision for the piece I’m working on, and they wrote back a lovely response, and look forward to the finished piece. I worked on the photos for the piece. I had to pull some of them off my old Macbook. Other then not being able to connect to the internet, the old Macbook is better than the newer PCs. By old, I mean I got in in 2010.
I’ve narrowed it down to about 2 dozen photos, and will narrow it down further to about 7 or 8, once I figure out the background fabric. All of the photos I’m using are ones I’ve taken myself over the years. The one photo of a photo of my Playland Painters has no attribution, but the original has disappeared. I have a photo of the two photos of these women, and now Westchester Archives has copies of my photos of the photos, and I will attribute it as best I can in the label. I realized that, since the original prop pieces have also vanished, I probably have the only remaining photos of those, and I should get copies of them to the Archives in the coming weeks. Once I have the background, I will print out and arrange the photos, fasten them down, and embellish.
It has to be done and photographed by Aug. 15 for consideration in the show.
Am I feeling pressured and insecure? Why yes, I am.
I put together a pasta sauce and set it in the slow cooker to do its thing while I was out in the afternoon. That’s what I love about slow cookers. You set things up, and they safely do their thing while you are busy, and there’s good food when you return.
I showered, changed, slapped on some makeup. Of course, as soon as I headed out the door, we were under thunderstorm watch again.
I went to Theatre 62 at Williams College. We were in a different part of the dance studio this time, with a different project. This was also part of the Fertile Ground New Works Residency, but this was a workshop of Jessica Bauman’s Anyone There? Featured six performers, including one of my colleagues, Louise Heller, from WAM’s literary committee. You can learn more about it here.
The space was set up in a circle, and the actors welcomed and chatted with us as we entered and got settled. There was a really joyful energy about the space and the piece. The piece itself ran for a little over an hour, and was a mix of scripted (from interviews the creator held on the topic) and interaction with the audience. As an extreme introvert, I usually shy away from that kind of interaction, but it was set up so skillfully, it was inCLUsive rather than InTRUsive. As a member of WAM, I would have gritted my teeth and played along no matter what, but there was no need to grit my teeth, I actually enjoyed myself. The themes were about isolation and connection, and depicted beautifully. There was movement and music along with the script, along with a section embodying specific Edward Hopper paintings. I told Jess after how my eyes kept getting wider and wider, because I’ve done ekphrastic work with every single piece she chose, especially “New York Movie.” She said every time she uses Hopper’s work, that one is relevant.
We had a talkback after, which was terrific, and then a chance to chat over coffee and muffins. One of the actors from NY and I exchanged information to keep in touch (and hope to work together someday), and one of the local actors may well be my Timothy in THE WOMEN ON THE BRIDGE if/when I get the grant for the reading, and if he’s available.
It was a truly wonderful experience. Both Fertile Ground pieces have supported dynamic artists, and I can’t wait to see where their work goes next.
It was raining fairly hard when I left, but the drive home was easy. My parking space was open, so that’s all I really cared about.
The Chewy cat litter order had arrived while I was gone, so I hauled that up the stairs and started the pasta. The sauce was perfection. It was a hot, sticky night, but cooled down a bit.
Up early on Sunday, usual routine, worked out a couple of scenes on the play in the morning free write. I did the Community Tarot Reading for the week, which you can read here.
We headed up to Bennington, VT in the late morning. It was a lovely drive, even in the heat. We hadn’t been up there in far too long. My mom needs an oversized shoe/croc for after her surgery, so we decided to look in thrift stores first. We found a pair that should work (don’t worry, I disinfected them when we got them home).
We were early getting back to Williamstown, too early for our next stop, so we stopped at the Clark for a little while and enjoyed the peaceful, lovely grounds. Perk of being a member – one can stop in there while out and about doing other things.
We then headed to Karen’s Quilting Corner (once it opened). I needed the background fabric for the collage. I’d hoped to find something with a Ferris wheel or carousel horse pattern, which I knew was a long shot. I’d sourced some of that print online from another store, but there was no way I could get it shipped in time to build the piece by the Aug. 15 deadline. So I went to Karen’s to see what I could find.
I found oh so many things I will use for various projects. But I didn’t need all of it right this second. I found an art deco small fan print in the colors that the buildings in the park are painted and trimmed, which will work. It will pick up some of the colors in the photographs.
They are so delightful at Karen’s that I should always just go there first.
We had what we needed, so we didn’t go to Old Stone Mill (I plan to go there in autumn and see what’s what)
Next stop was Ocean State, looking for kiddie pools. I hoped to find a 36”, but they only had the 42” and they only had three left, at an excellent price, so I grabbed one. I figured I could always return it if I found the smaller one, but looking at it, I think I might actually need this size. And it’s the exact shade of blue I wanted (for thematic meaning).
This is for the piece in January’s show, the controversial piece. I wouldn’t be able to find the kiddie pool in late fall/early winter, so I grabbed it now. I’ll paint/distress it in late October/early November out back when it’s cool enough to dry quickly, but not cold enough to crack.
However, that means storing it. So what did I do? Right now, it’s living on the bed in the sewing room, with a fleece blanket in it, because you KNOW the cats will want to explore. They’ve sniffed the perimeter, but haven’t hopped in yet. My bet is on Willa being the first to try it.
On a whim, we stopped at another thrift store, where I grabbed a small globe. I’ve always wanted a globe. This was inexpensive, and makes my map-loving heart happy.
The clerk at the store showed me on the globe where he grew up in Russia, and all the places he’s visited in the world over the years, including 49 states (he’s never been to Hawaii). He used to be a hockey player – started as D, then moved up to L wing, and travelled a lot. So we got to talking about hockey, since I used to cover it. So that was an interesting side aspect to the day.
It reminded me of the connection themes in Saturday’s workshop.
Home, hauled everything up the stairs. My neighbors are very curious as to the wide variety of objects that go in and out of this house. Nothing wrong with being an enigma, right? 😉
It was hot and sticky in the apartment, so we got the fans and the coolers going again and had some white cranberry-peach juice. Cleaned and/or disinfected things as appropriate and put them away.
Heated up leftovers for dinner and had a quiet evening, pondering various projects.
It cooled down enough to be decent sleeping weather. I was up at the usual time on Monday. Morning routine was fine. I did some planning on a project I’d talked about with a cohort friend a few weeks back. I need to do a little more research before I can put together a viable proposal, and I have to figure out when I can fit it into the schedule, because it would be a long-term project. I also got an email from another friend about our collaboration (on a different project).
I like having different facets in my working life. They feed each other, when I balance them properly, rather than draining each other.
I had a lot of admin to take care of when I hit the desk on Monday morning. It always stacks up over the weekend. I worked on some scenes for the play, but I have to rearrange a few things, so I didn’t get as far as I hoped. I dashed up to the library when it opened because I had to send a fax. I picked up some books while I was there. I finally got the new vacuum put together and used it. It’s fantastic! And I realized that part of the problem with the last one may have been there were bits missing (and no instruction manual). The replacement has all the bits, and, so far, it works really well. Maybe it will last for more than six months?
After lunch, I switched over to the ghostwriting, and had a solid session on it. I went a little farther than the minimum I wanted to hit today.
I was very tired, but I did a few end-of-day relaxing yoga poses before I started dinner, and that helped. I read a bit at night.
For the next 30 days, I’m trying to do 10 minutes/night of Legs-Up-the-Wall pose. On the back of my bedroom door, because we don’t have free wall space here, just lots of bookcases. I read an article describing the positive aspects of doing it nightly before bed. According to that study, after Day 7, one stops waking up at 3 AM, which is something that appeals to me. So I began last night (Charlotte supervised), and we will see what happens.
I woke up at 2:30, rather than 3, which was not in the plan!
Morning routine was fine. The air is very heavy and humid today. I’m out the door shortly to attend a performance at a farm (I’ll fill you in tomorrow). When I return, it’s the play, the collage, the ghostwriting for the rest of the day. I hope to make it to yoga tonight, but we will see how the day goes. I have a feeling the LOIs won’t go out until tomorrow.
Hope you had a great weekend, and are having a good start to your week!

Fri. Aug. 7, 2026: Digging In

Waning Moon
Pluto, Neptune, Saturn, Chiron Retrograde
Cloudy and oppressively humid
We’re almost at the weekend, and I hope you have a very good one.
I did a bunch of admin yesterday morning, including paying bills, and writing a follow-up note to the doctor about my mom’s surgery to clarify a few things.
I picked up a prescription for my mom, in preparation for her surgery (even though it’s not for a month), and did the big early-month stock-up grocery shopping, and a couple of other errands. Of course, I completely forgot to go by the post office, so I will have to do that today. It was really humid, and I couldn’t think straight.
Home, hauled everything up the stairs, put it away. Tried to get some work done. #FreelanceFriends chat was fun.
For the ghostwriting, I threw out most of what I had and started over. I stayed up as long as I needed to, in order to get it done. I have to do a final polish this morning (because it has to go out today), and make sure I dealt with all the notes, but, fingers crossed, they will accept this one, so I can invoice. I start the next assignment either later today or on Monday.
I could not face cooking, so I dug out some chili from the freezer and that was supper. It was good. This chili recipe freezes well.
It was hot and sticky last night. Charlotte woke me up early, and I got up, so I could do most of the morning routine before going to the laundromat.
Did two loads at the laundromat and filled up the gas tank on my way home. Chop wood, carry water, all those mundane tasks that keep things running. Such a glamorous life, being a writer!
This morning, as I mentioned above, I’m doing a final proof on the ghostwriting and getting it out the door. Then I will work on the play, and maybe the article. I also have to work on the program for the reading in October and get out a book review.
We were supposed to run some errands in Williamstown and Bennington, but it’s supposed to be stormy today, so I will put it off. I will, however, fold and put away laundry. This evening, unless it’s wildly stormy, I will trundle down to Future Labs Gallery for the month’s opening. I might go over to Mosaic Center, too, for their opening. We will see how my energy level and the weather holds up.
I have to set up a meeting with the library per the author event in September, and sign off that my name is correct on the flyer.
Tomorrow, I’m going to a showcase in Williamstown for WAM. Sunday we might do the errands we were supposed to do today. We’ll see how the weather holds up. Next week is busy – good busy, but still busy, so it would be good to have some downtime over the weekend.
And to finally put the replacement vacuum into use! I also want to do some planning sketches for the art pieces. I’m not sure I can do the one in time for next week’s deadline, but I like the idea, so I might work on it for the December or January show instead. I will try to work on it this weekend, but not kick myself if I can’t get it done. I have to look through my fabric stash and see what I can use for these various projects, and what I still need to source. Doing that before I go to the fabric shops in Williamstown and Bennington is probably a good idea.
I hope you have a great weekend, and we’ll catch up next week.

The entire process is done by me, assisted only by my own understanding and experience, from the analysing and writing of the videos' summarised chapter points, to my special-purpose website generation software for publishing it all.
Further info at https://miblo.net/cinera/#cinera and you're invited to hire me directly from the site.
P.S. If the videos you'd like me to index are hosted on PeerTube, you'll need to let me know before putting in your request so I can actually write the support for this!
